Crap Throwing Monkey

And the designated hitter rule...

It, like TD, needs more cowbell!

I thought there was no reason to be optimistic about the season, since Donahoe didn't draft enough starters after the 2nd round...

TD shot down TWA Flight 800...

Oh, shut up. I'm ignoring you. And I'm better than you because of it.

Damn that Donahoe for screwing up the procedure... Regardless...all the best...

Oh. THAT'S why you brought up all that crap about the draft. And it's just my personal opinion...but given that the cap-related bloodletting in his first 3-13 season was inveitable, I'd discount that from his overall record simply on the premise that we had to suffer through a terrible season to clear the cap room so he could start building a contender. Realistically, Donahoe's 23-25 in the seasons where his goal was signing talent rather than pruning the cap. Of course, that makes a certain sense, so I'm sure YOU won't buy it... Todd's not my friend. He's a total goddamned stranger. I don't have friends, in fact. Nonetheless, I'm sure he's positively crushed at being ignored by you...nothing says "I'm a pansy ass little girly man" quite like pointedly telling someone you're ignoring them and believing you've in some way one-upped them. Yeah, because that's so much more intellectual and mature than You're just all kinds of stupid today, aren't you? Auditioning to be the poster boy for negative Wonderlic scores or something?

Only because Donahoe is the secret driving force behind Big Tobacco. And worst of all, the bastard only drafts starters in the first two rounds of the draft, never later!

Sorry to come in to this late...but I'm still trying to wrap my mind around whatever point there is to your arguments. So let me see if I this straight: You don't like Tom Donahoe because he only gets starters through the free agency and the first two rounds of the draft? That might possibly be the stupidest thing I've heard since the CD Burning thread. Maybe football's a little too complex for you; maybe you should try being a fan of...I don't know, maybe pro bowling or men's gymnastics.

Holy crap! SoCal's beating is almost as good as Sue's in the homework thread, or BF and Tracy in the CD burning thread. Classic stuff...

Especially when the value of your property falls below the amount of the first one...

Not every place has tides that are really useful for power generation, though. (As it turns out, while the moon causes tides, it's local and regional geography that determines how high and powerful they'll be.) The Bay of Fundy's one place...beyond that, I wouldn't think there's more than a dozen locations world-wide that you can expect to effectively generate electricity from tidal power.

I thought that was Billy and Gene...

Well, yeah, I'm surprised and awestruck that he buys his own nonsense. And he certainly by now has us wondering why the hell we're bothering.

Is that album fiction or non-fiction?

Us? You took beausox's inability to discern fiction and non-fiction, and turned it into some sort of weird amalgam of "Well...it's both, sorta-kinda-maybe, because the author has an agenda and you people are too stupid to understand that." And the problem's with everyone else????

Not a few in this thread, no doubt.

Yeah...but within reason. There are compelling reasons to regulate nuclear power (if only on the premise that nuclear materials are something that should be tracked closely lest they get into the wrong hands...like mine... ) But nuclear power is one of the most horrendusly over-regulated industries in the country...specifically because the anti-nuke lobby, by their own admission, realized they could accomplish their goals through over-regulation much more readily than with any other method. The safety oversight in building a nuke plant alone, you could cut in half with no effect on safety and save a billion or two.

With good reason...the anti-nuke lobby is so powerful that they inflate the price of plants by enough (more than 100%) as to make it completely impractical in this country. No one's likely to build another plant anyway until the obsessive government oversight is significantly reduced...and when's the last time government reduced interference in the private sector? The sad thing is...it's fairly easy and inexpensive to build a perfectly safe nuclear reactor (take uranium pellets about 2 cm in diameter, coat with 2mm of graphite, throw into bucket of water. The overall density of uranium in the bucket is enough to sustain a reaction and boil the water, but never gets hot enough to melt the graphite, bring the uranium in contact with itself, and cause a meltdown.) But no one in this country will ever build it while they have to spend $8 billion proving it's safe to people who desperately want to believe otherwise.

Pretty much...I've talked with a few criminal attorneys, and they all marvel at how thoroughly the prosecution is botching this trial. Even if Jackson is somehow found guilty (and reasonably he shouldn't be, given the case the prosecution's put on), there's a high likelihood it gets thrown out on appeal because of all the unrelated BS prejudicial testimony the judge has let in.

Well, given that the Bengals are in Cinncinatti...

I'll bet God wouldn't be laughing if Donahoe wasn't coaching him to...

What, the cheap bastard couldn't give you Henry for it?

I would say that Takeo Spikes was accepted just as readily, given that he was cheered by Bills fans before he even joined the team...

You lucky dog. He stole mine.
