You definitely do not want to know the terrifying yet strangely compelling sequence of images that flooded my brain when I read the phrase "Mollydooker Velvet Glove shiraz."

What saved it for Japan was the take-down of Alex Morgan on what was going to be a dead breakaway and a sure goal.
A red card and a free kick at that moment was cold comfort.
That's one of the things about soccer that really frustrates me. The penalty doesn't nearly fit the crime there. After an obvious take-down foul, they legislate a 75% scoring chance into a 15% one. WTF is that?!? An arbitrary distance really shouldn't matter there.
Must be cool to see the future like you do. Tell me, if the refs hadn't made that horrible blown offsides call against Ohno on her dead breakaway, would that also have been a sure goal to put Japan up 1-0 ?

These Japanese men are balling right now.
Huh?

Hope Solo (US goalkeeper) is SMOKING hot.
You think? Meh

Unless he was raping babies he didn't deserve that.

OK...which one of you jokers put Loctite in my boxers? Was it you, Barnidge? Dammit, it WAS you!!

I just saw the local sheriff's presser and he was pleading with the public to not resort to violence because of this verdict.
Did the Sheriff begin his remarks with "Oh please, Br'er Fox..." ?

well this is better than the last internet movie i saw involving girls and a cup. just sayin.
You never know. Maybe Anna will do that for an encore.

I would not ask Rich that if you value your life.
Of course I wouldn't. But maybe the OP hasn't met Rich.
(I've never met Rich either, but I've seen the pictures. I'm also pretty darn sure the answer would be "No" anyway.)

You'd have to ask Rich that.

From the article: "He was coming from his 21st birthday party..."
I'll bet he was.

Cinder blocks are inert. Elemental sodium would be much more entertaining.Were it adults in the pool, I'd probably have thrown cinder blocks. -

I have been a bills fan for many decades...are you going to fault me for wanting to beat New England and compete in the AFC East?
Nope -- not faulting you at all for wanting to beat NE. We all want that. Badly. And the way to do it is to have enough talent to beat up/cover Brady's receivers for 3 seconds so he has no one to throw to in his prissy little system, and then one of our DL or LB can squish him.
-
Whatever, if this staff thinks that the missing link to beating New England on their way to enough wins to compete in the AFC East is to draft a nickel back that will make an immediate impact this year and next, then great. This means that the Bills will improve this year and next to reach above .500 which is what it will take before the next coaching staff comes in and washes, rinses and repeats...
(hint: the Bills change coaching staffs every three years...2000-present: no playoffs) 
Hey, LGB, while you're living in the past, could you stop by Rootie's Pump Room and pick me up a bucket of wings, xtra hot? Thanks!
-
What does that have to do with this pick?
Apparently LGB is so much smarter than everyone else that his draft strategy is so awesome that it would actually warp time and improve the Bills' record for the past 6 years.
Or not.

With the 2nd pick in the 2nd round the Bills draft......a football player
Williams is a name of power. Aaron, not liking aaron so much recently.
I'm trying to think positive here: Hank AARON. AARON Rodgers.
Help me out guys -- other sports-star or NFL-star AARONs?
Could have sworn there was a guy with that name who played for the Bills a long time ago. Last name of Scrobel or Shnobel or something....

Let the new owner have the time to affect change. He has already started, Brad Boyes as an addition is a very good step forward.
It allows the Sabres options in the off season to trade for a very skilled center and Boyes was a steal for a 2nd round draft pick.
I liked this pick-up a lot, and it didn't take him long at all to start scoring a bunch of timely goals. Nice move by the new F.O.

No, no, You eat gun, you don't chew it. You chew potassium cyanide. Silly rabbit.I guess I'm not blessed with the intelligence to walk and chew gun at the same time because I can not shoutbox and PPP at the same time although, I never actually tried to walk and chew gun at the same time.
No, just Tokyo.
I mean, look at the progression of events: earthquake...tidal wave...nuclear accident. What comes next in that series of events?

When I was a 1st or 2nd grader, a bigger kid kept pushing my face into the drinking fountain one day at summer camp.
1st time: "Cut it out"
2nd time: "Do that again and you'll be sorry"
3rd time: I bided my time and later that day I pushed him off a pretty high cliff.
Never bothered me again.

It was mentioned in the shoutbox by some mouth-breather (specifically, using "liquid graphite" as a coolant.
If you don't know what it is or what it does, just shut the hell up.) Here, the most stupid thing said has been "weapons-grade plutonium". The speculation here has been...tolerable, I think. In the shoutbox, it's been unbearably stupid. In the media...I've still only seen two articles without factual errors.
Yeah, I was bouncing back & forth between the shoutbox & catching up on the board posts, so I forget where I saw that particular gem.

A friend of mine is married to a Japanese girl. Told me she was taught in school in Japan that the US started the war on Japan during WWII.
I am married to a Japanese girl. And there's no question that the history they are taught in school differs from the one that is taught in ours. Guess what: neither version are the complete truth.
There are no squeaky-clean countries to be found in this world.. Nearly all groups of humans, throughout history, have come up with some rationale (Gott mit uns, Manifest Destiny, etc.,) for mistreating some other group of humans. They're all just excuses. And everyone likes to emphasize the horror of the other guys' atrocities while denying or defending their own.
It also, sadly, seems to be the case that pretty much all governments lie to their own people some or most of the time.
By the way, my brother-in-law works for one of Japan's regional electric power companies (not TEPCO) and he is busy as hell right now. Every time there's an earthquake of any size in Japan, he gets a stack of paperwork as tall as his computer monitor; the current situation has basically ensured he won't even be able to leave his office for the foreseeable future.
As a side note, much of the speculation on this board (as elsewhere) about the design, location, backup systems, disaster-preparedness and so on, of the Japanese nuclear power plants, would be characterized, charitably, as "laughable." (Seriously folks, graphite in the core? In a BWR??)
