Jon in Pasadena

Sometimes it's pretty clear. For example, on 12/20/97 what was going through Lonnie Johnson's head was -- Darren Sharper.

Callaway used to make a decent Fumé Blanc.

Thread title sounds like the wimpiest UFC fight in history.

My kids grew up watching Nihongo de Asobo videos. The penis-puppet is about the least weird thing on that show. (Imagine, if you can, the 600 lb Sumo wrestler Konishiki, dressed as a giant pineapple, engaging in tongue-twister duels with little kids dressed like snails. That was pretty much par for the course on that wacked out show..)

So who was wearing Tuel's number in the KC game?

There is no way in hell I am ever letting anything internet-connected get anywhere close to "The Franchise." Not while you animals are out there.

Hanzal would have had to run his own goalie to keep that from happening. Probably should have.

They'd slow me down about as much as Colin Brown could slow down a pass rush. And yes, it is. I'm stunned that people actually watched it all.

Around here they've been using the delightful term "off-boarding." I suggested the more accurate "plank-walking" but was shot down.

It's a "Would ya?" thread. What did you expect, catechisms? I watched it with the sound off. I am assuming that was a good idea.

If she were wearing those leggings? Oh yeah. For some reason, striped leggings on a chick always, um, "get my attention", shall we say.

Ah yes, the big (head) boss.

Good luck on the promo/raise. That's exactly what I got last month. Oh yeah, and then the company's reaction to Obamacare kicked in and my health insurance premiums went up by 50%. Yay, bonus. By any chance does your boss have pointy hair?

Aluminum melts at 660°C Why do I know this? I once had a TA put our aluminum sample trays into a baking kiln set for 670°C

No.

One of my many self-imposed life-rules: If, while in South Carolina, someone says to you "Hey, let's go into the woods" you should politely demur. Then run like hell.

I find it weirdly hot.

Close....but it's actually NGC 7293 They do look pretty similar.

Wow... I might have been severely misunderstanding what they meant when people always talked about Pat Kaleta "turtling" ...

Do we like the child? j/k Seriously, unless the car is filled with liquid helium or something, the kid's not going to die of hypothermia from sitting inside it for a few minutes. But s/he very well might perish from getting squished by an inattentive driver (or even by an attentive one out of sightline of the child.)

Heathen.

Your daughter is very cute, and obviously enjoys carrying a few extra coulombs of electrical charge. Love the Harajuku Mini Mini shirt.

Just wanted to say that I have absolutely no idea what a Cugalabanza is, but the word is so darned euphonious, that it's really caught on in my house recently as a sort of catch-all replacement for a variety of naughty words. Examples: "There are a lot of friggin' Cugalabanzas out on the roads today!" "Ooh, he just took a nasty shot to the Cugalabanzas!" "You are such a Cugalabanza!" ...etc. So my heartfelt thanks to whomever invented this useful euphemism. (And no, I'm not paying you any royalties, you Cugalabanza!)

Yep. IIRC Plummer speared Holmes square in the chest with the crown of his helmet. That play changed the whole complexion of the game. I remember being pretty pissed off.

It has a lentil aftertaste.
