  1. "Tonight we're going to do the thing with the Icy Hot again... I promise!"
  2. Oh, yeah, they definitely !@#$ed his **** up.
  3. http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/24/asia/japan-centenarian-sprint-record/
  4. "...come to me and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." --Matthew 19:14
  5. Just re-watched that recently on Amazon Prime. The '70s were weird, man. Like... really weird.
  6. "This is a weird dream. I'm like..old. And ...white?"
  7. I read the guy could get 11 years if convicted and sentenced to the max. What is that, about a year per waffle? Hope they were memorable.
  8. I knew the etymology of "sinister". Duh. Fortunately many of the 50 states are no longer living in the early Christian era, hence we no longer call children evil based on their handedness. Children are evil based on their other behaviors. You idiot. (PS, I am dexterous.)
  9. "We can't understand why everyone's always picking on us and calling us ignorant hicks." -- Okies
  10. That's less than 19 inches per carry, and projects to 88 rushing yards for the entire season.
  11. This tidbit jumped out at me: It was Roby's fumble recovery last night that won it for Denver. Guy has good ball awareness -- they should block the crap out of him.
  12. This thread is ghey. But Chris Pratt seems like he'd be a fun guy to do a bar crawl with.
  13. What kind of dog was it? Dachsund = yes. Great Dane = no.
  14. In 1975 he was voted "Most likely to do get arrested on Federal charges before his 40th anniversary" and he didn't want to disappoint everyone.
  15. Probably. But at least the Xenomorph had the good grace to keep its friggin' internal organs inside itself. I think the first time I had octopus was when I ordered one at some Greek restaurant in Tarpon Springs (a community largely founded by Greek fishermen, as I heard it). Grilled whole, and served with lemon wedges that you squeeze the juice over the 'pod. Fantastic. You're doing it wrong.
  16. I.Knew.It.After.Watching.The.Video. EDIT: In my reply to TRBJ, "this point" refers to the point TRBJ is making. Sorry if that was unclear.
  17. If I may pass along one bit of wisdom that was given to me by the guy who taught me to ride.. The most dangerous time for new riders is after you've been riding about 6 months. Your skills and road experience will be quite a bit higher by then, and there's a natural tendency to relax your guard a bit. That can be fatal. In my case, right on schedule at the half-year mark, a snot-nosed kid in his Civic crapmobile shot out from a side street and made a left in front of me without looking, at the perfect point where my sight-line was blocked momentarily by a parked van. I steered to avoid him, and would have just missed the rear of his car if he'd kept going, except of course he slammed on the brakes mid-turn. That was 28 years ago, and it taught me a very important lesson: always reduce speed whenever your sight-line is blocked, even for a split-second. I was lucky, but many other new riders are not. Good luck and keep the shiny side up!
  18. Thank you. I'm amazed (and a little bit scared, frankly) that this point wasn't obvious to everyone.
