Crap Throwing Monkey

You know...you should start a separate thread on that topic...

How is it for the dolphins?

Anyone know how tall he is?

According to the Gross link, the main change was letting the linesmen use more discretion...so that now, apparently, what would have been an icing call before is now being called as an errant pass and waved off. But at any rate, you're right - no one's complaining. Certainly not me; I used to HATE icing calls, since there always seemed to be so damned many of them, and they always seemed like such a useless stoppage of play.

Didn't they change the definition of icing, as well? I know I'm seeing a LOT less icing calls this season than before...

Wow. We agree on something. Though college hoops is a little better. At least they understand teamwork at that level, and every possession of every game doesn't degrade into some sort of misbegotten slam-dunk contest.

My point being: IT'S THE MENTALITY OF THE THING. Christ. What, are you channelling BF today?

No...but they're not with the Bucs...

You forgot Mr DD: Hitting on Lana. Mr EE: Gratuitous comment about #89's rack.

My point being: it's a natural application of the "If we get together and make enough noise, we can effect change" protest mentality on an individual level. An incorrect application - one hundred thousand noisy people is a consensus, one noisy person is an idiot. But a natural one, nonetheless.

Are they talking about putting Barbaro down? His racing days are over for sure...but I figured they'd try to save him for stud, anyway...

For once, I twigged on that defensive breakdown as it happened. But it was still a bloody good shot.

Not the least of which is because it was 90 seconds long. (They pulled the goalie with 90 seconds left...earlier than I've seen lately.)

Bad defense. Tallinder shouldn't have even had a chance on that rebound. And that was a spectacular shot by Brind'amour. Wow.

It's called "protesting".

BTW...not to get serious again, but Jacob's Creek makes an inexpensive and surprisingly good Cabernet, if you want an Aussie wine.

I think you're mixing your plane disasters. TWA 800 was supposedly shot down by a US Navy ship. It was an Egypt Air flight that had the references to Allah on the flight recorder (apparently, because the pilot was Muslim and was praying because he knew the plane was crashing...

Though, interestingly enough, it's usually completely dependent on which party they belong to. I find it highly ironic that the people bitching about Murtha's "conviction" of the Marines never hesitated to find Clinton guilty of Whitewater before the investigation was completed...

Doesn't this story pop up every year, anyway? I know it's been discussed before... And I'd think, if it were true, official Iranian sources would be shouting it from the rooftops...

Has he slipped the surly bonds of TSW yet? I'm gonna miss him...

I believe they're providing surveillence support to the border patrol. I don't know that for a fact, it's just what I heard on the news.

Owl bungee cord sine theta. Too easy. Give me another.

Looked like a window. Which would unquestionably be pretty symbolic...but I'm too tired right now to think of what. Also looked like the window on an airplane, to my recollection (which may be wrong).

You unquestionably have cowbell.

Alright...I can't fault you for that. I walked right into it.
