  1. Was he the one who had that issue with chat roulette?
  2. For you or for Nugent?
  3. I can't picture someone who wanted to be there any less than Lee did. It was hilarious.
  4. So we'd all much rather see someone sail it over the catchers head instead of bouncing it, right?
  5. Here's the best thing I almost won. I was golfing in Florida with my brother and on one of the par threes they had a contest where you had to put in $10 to be entered. If you were within a grips length of the cup, you'd win your choice of a trip to one of two golf resorts, Hilton Head or another that I can't remember. My tee shot hit the flag (the actual flag, not the stick). When we got up to the green, the damn ball was less than an inch beyond the length of a grip. I still like to claim that the stupid flag took a little spin off the ball and kept it out of the hole. And yes, I sunk the putt.
  6. She throws like a girl, big deal. I have to disqualify this one from the worst first pitch contest right away though since she at least attempted to throw it from the mound.
  7. Fortunately the drawing was done after the rings were purchased. It was a big event at this jeweler and anyone who bought that weekend was entered into the giveaway.
  8. During the spring the soon to be wife and I won a drawing that gave us $1000 towards our rings.
  9. And it's even more fun when you realize that those sites can manipulate those headlines however they want to get a reaction.
  10. As I started watching it, I was hoping that they could somehow incorporate the wild animals like they had in Red Dead Redemption. It looks like they did.
  11. We have a guy we call the nester. At some point in the day, someone throws a huge pile of clean toilet paper in the corner of the stall behind the toilet. No one knows who it is or why he does it.
  12. You know what's even worse? "Watertown strong".
  13. I'll call it "getting older" since I'm not in the same neighborhood as a lot of you. It's amazing how much longer the recovery time from any muscle aches keeps getting.
  14. Al Powell
  15. This summer season has ended pretty quickly for me (well, I am going to see Man of Steel tonight, then it is done). I may check out Wolverine if I get bored one day and have free time. I'm not too anxious to see it though. I really enjoyed Red, but I'll probably hold out on that sequel until it is on free tv in a year or so.
  16. I had my first professional job for just over 6 years. I'm now at 2.5 on my second one. I'm not so sure I ever picture getting up to 10 years at any one place.
  17. The story in question was in the Sporting News. I have no idea if it first appeared in the Buffalo News or not (I did not read it either), but if it was intended for the Sporting News, he's now writing for a completely different audience and not the local paper. And if it did also appear in the Buffalo News, please pretend that my post never happened.
  18. Where do they typically put guys who are awaiting trial? Do they get thrown into the crappy places right away before conviction?
  19. Does it matter in the eyes of the law? If they're all present and working together, do they all get the same charge regardless of who pulled the trigger?
  20. So the guy was directly behind you the whole time giving the thumbs up? I'm trying to picture how you saw the thumb and returned the gesture. If you're side by side I can picture it, but not front and back. Anyway, I've had moments of random jackassery where I've given another car a sarcastic thumbs up after they did something stupid. Nothing like this though.
  21. The thing talks and actually says what the alarm is about. So when I set it off, it says something like "Alert, alert. Carbon monoxide detected. Carbon monoxide levels are: 0 (units)". So it's is alerting me to CO and at the same time telling me there is none present. I know it is the remote because I have tested it out. I can stand directly under it, point the remote at the detector and hit a button. It goes off every time. But whatever, I'm moving out of that place this weekend anyway.
  22. Lines like this one make me question whether or not the article is real:
  23. My cable remote sets off my CO detector. It's really annoying. I can't sit on one side of the couch because of it. I called 911 once when I was in high school. Kids next door were launching fireworks at my house and I saw a nasty burn mark on the front porch. I'm sure I could have stopped them myself, but I wanted to scare them.
