  1. Same here. I've been going to the same person for almost 20 years now.
  2. I agree, the guy has HOF talent. It would be nice to see the pieces come together for a full season...a decent QB who can get him the ball, coupled with a (relatively) injury-free season. Those can happen, and if they do, I think he becomes the superstar that he can be.
  3. The one thing I would recommend to most guys is to ditch the cheap Super Cuts thing and go for a real barber or stylist. Totally worth it.
  4. Well, I was rounding a wee bit. I think it was 1997 when I first started poking around the D&C site, but I don't recall the exact timeline of when the D&C site switched off and this site started.
  5. Bill is awesome. Except that he knows Spiller would not have been a wasted pick if he had just been used correctly. I don't know, it seems like most of my favorite posters are gone. Twenty years here will do that to you, I guess. We still have some great ones, though.
  6. You got it. Usually they just trim the unruly ones to make it look respectable. Not like they've getting styled or anything. Same with ear hair. For the love of God, don't just let that **** grow like weeds in the back yard.
  7. We're not desperate for another runner. We have several runners. If they're going to bring anyone in as a backup, whether it's Boobie or Fred, that person needs to contribute in other ways, like special teams. That's why Fred won't be coming back -- he's not a special teams guy, certainly not at his age. Boobie at least has a reputation for being very good at special teams. So he might -- might -- be considered as a backup until we get guys back, because of this. But I don't honestly believe he will be.
  8. I can't believe nobody else thinks this is brilliant!
  9. 33 Commonly Misunderstood Words & Phrases A couple of other bastardizations I've noticed more and more where I live include: - "Supposably" instead of supposedly - "Acrossed" instead of "across" (when did this **** happen?) Here is the infographic:
  10. One of my favorites from the Lego movie that I often use with my work colleagues...
  11. Amazing how many more fish are jumping in the evening hours. A couple of shots from just now:
  12. One of the interesting things to me is that there are several bears that are always in the same spots. Like there are three or four that have their one favorite spot and they're always there.
  13. Later in the evening it seems like there are a lot more, all jumping together. It's amazing to see.
  14. "I know you're trying to be all mystical and kung fu-ey, but could you at least tell me where we're going?" "There is now a level zero."
  15. Off playing with his one-legged spherical gecko.
  16. Looking good now. Bears are back at it.
  17. "Jo, we're gonna lose, and we're gonna lose huge." - A Few Good Men
  18. Watching a mother feed her three cubs. It's amazing, she keeps catching one fish after another, like it was easy. Kids are eating like kings.
  19. They seem to be there almost all the time. Which makes sense, given the insane number of salmon I've seen them eat whenever I tune in. I watched one time this week when one of them caught a fish and started eating it, then a second and third approached and both went after him, and one of the others stole his fish. Pretty wild.
  20. I thought about adding that in, considering they allowed refs to judge if a face mask grab was intentional or not. So why not interference? But I think the implications are too great (ie, spot foul) for a judgment call like that.
  21. I would change a couple of penalty costs. First, I'd change pass interference to a 15-yard penalty. This spot-foul thing can really suck when teams look for it on 3rd or 4th and 20-something, especially when it's a close call. I'd also consider changing defensive holding so it's no longer an automatic first down. I can understand the rationale for it, but so many of the calls are ticky-tack that it can just destroy a team's morale when t's 3rd and 15 and some minor or invisible hold on the opposite side of the play ruins a defensive stop. Hell, make it 10 yards instead of 5 if you have to.
  22. I think this is on target. I also agree with whoever said 3D printing technology. That could be bigger than anyone is imagining right now...
  23. Yep. Probably my favorite line from that film, which is saying something since there are so goddamn many good ones. By the way, it was just on TNT (like it is every month or so), which reminded me of this one.
  24. "I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty now that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."
