Little known fact about the previous poster
shrader replied to Fadingpain's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Was the inspiration for the Buffalo Bill character in Silence of the Lambs. Go ahead, ask him for some lotion. -
January Movies: 12 Strong, Maze Runner, & The Commuter
shrader replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Instead of digging up the thread from the summer, I'll just post it here. I finally got around to seeing Dunkirk this weekend. Man, I wish I had seen that in a theater. -
One of the plows I've seen around here looks like it's straight from the 60s. I'm fortunate that I can work from home when I want, so I don't bother messing with the poorly treated roads. I saw a perfect example today of why I just stay at home even though I could easily drive around. The weather is fine now and any roads close to my house are completely cleared. I drove out to the store today and I had a pickup truck behind me that had his entire windshield covered with snow, except for a 1 foot wide spot in front of the driver's seat. The rest of his truck was completely clear. That kind of idiot is the exact reason why I decide to lay low.

Watch what so many will do under ideal conditions. That is the perfect explanation of why they suck so much in the snow. If someone can't even read at a third grade level, they sure as hell aren't reading a novel.

So many people don't know how to drive in general. Why would you expect them to be able to drive in snow?

They should never speak ill of MXC. That show was amazing. Guy LeDouche should be covering the sidelines for ESPN.

Well he did say sheep and goats

The wife and I will be making a weekend trip there at some point in the spring. The mother-in-law gave us a gift card to a fancy hotel there (I can look up the name later) for Christmas. I'm going to have to keep an eye on this thread.

So did he get that next ride?

That's the big question. The problem is widespread throughout the entire neighborhood. Maybe that winds up working in my favor, they're may want to take care of things to keep people quiet. If it was just me, I'm sure they'd tell me to F off. I'd be curious to see if anyone else in the south has seen these problems. I understand why it's happening, but it does seem to be a bit extreme.

Do You Give Panhandlers On Street Corners Money?
shrader replied to Rico's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Safety is an interesting angle. I'm paranoid about my wallet, so I'm definitely not taking it out on a public street. -
Do You Give Panhandlers On Street Corners Money?
shrader replied to Rico's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I really haven't seen very many since I moved away from Boston. I never gave to any up there because there's really no way of knowing whether or not you can trust them. So many of the one's you would see regularly were so blatantly trying to take advantage of the situation, like they guy who was all over the place every single day, always sitting right next to his brand new bike. As has been said in here, I'd much rather give to a source where you know it will be used to help someone. There was one guy in Boston that I was very tempted to give to though. I saw him a couple times and he was always wearing a pirate hat. If he had gone the extra mile and played the part, I would have given him some money. I wanted to hear tons of arrrrr's and see him going around stealing from other beggars. -
The hospital I work out sends out very similar stuff any time the word "cold" is even mentioned in the forecast. Strangely, they didn't send out anything last week. This is only my 4th winter in this area, but that was definitely the most snowfall we've had in that time (not that it was very much). I wonder if they've modified a lot of the policies. Anyway, the lengthy freeze here has cracked just about every concrete surface around my house. It's only two years, so it's frustrating that it's more than likely not covered by any warranty. My driveway is currently two inches higher than the garage floor and portions of the garage floor that they patched pretty poorly have broken off. Now I get to wait and see if it settles back anywhere close to where it was before. Then, unless some warranty miracle comes through, I get to replace a lot of two year old concrete.

Yannick Ngakoue accuses Incognito of racial slurs
shrader replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think I would ever ask a ref about the things they have heard. Between the crap that goes on out there on the field and the pure venom directed at refs by just about everyone, it's likely to turn into a never-ending therapy session. -
I never have any clue what to say when I read stuff like this. Best wishes to you and your family with everything you're going to go through in the upcoming days/weeks/years.

Yannick Ngakoue accuses Incognito of racial slurs
shrader replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's tough to tell when a thread is all over the place. I'd add in a question about someone's manhood next time. That always works. No, you must post every single thought on twitter immediately. I realize that it's crazy to post it here on an internet message board, but lately I've been missing the much more calm living that was the pre-internet days. -

How does an opinion qualify as news, fake or not? -

Why would the guy even make the tweet in the first place? There is absolutely nothing he can possibly gain from it other than unwanted attention during preparations for the next playoff game. It's another classic case of the "think before you hit submit" mentality that is badly needed. Even if he's 100% correct (or even 70%), nothing comes of it. -
Jags attempt to insult bills...but....!!!
shrader replied to TonyBeets's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why did they even bother responding? That wasn't a shot at the Bills. All they did was list all of the possible sources of returned tickets. -
Who should replace Gruden on MNF?
shrader replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Given their recent approach, it'll probably be Lebatard's dad.
