  1. are we the turtle? I don't know about you, but I am the walrus. goo goo g'joob.
  2. Kind of like how they wanted to investigate what went wrong on the BP oil rig? From what I recall, it wasn't only Congresspersons from districts bordering the Gulf who were calling for investigations. It's all part of the political game. Not much to see here.
  3. Yeah, this royally sucks. Blue is a guy you just want to see succeed, especially after showing such promise early on, then getting injured. Another injury now... yuck. Just crummy.
  4. Heck, I pass the bar all the time. It's when I stop in for a drink or 40 that I have problems.
  5. There doesn't have to be rock-solid evidence supporting the allegation to create a problem for the board. All there has to be is enough evidence to get it in front of a judge, and then it starts costing us money in legal fees. The more money the board spends in legal fees, the less likely it is that the board stays up.
  6. Technically your first pic was a double facepalm as well, since Picard had two hands on his face. But that's just a technicality.
  7. For the record, none of the Mods are happy when threads are locked.
  8. So the answer is no, you don't see how that works. Gotcha.
  9. For the record, I'm a big Zac Lee supporter. I felt the same way about Ganzy and the Option. We don't have the personnel to run it correctly, so let's stick to the zone read and the rest of the Shawn Watson Multiplicity Offense of Wonder and Delight.
  10. So until then, that was a comment. See how that works?
  11. If Lee is our QB I would like to just shelve the Option. Green and/or Martinez (heck, even Washington) would be eminently preferable as an Option QB over Lee. Yeah, he was better in the bowl game, but man, he's still not looking like a great "option" with the Option. Stick to your strengths. If there's one thing we know about Zac Lee, it's that he's not a great runner. Play to his strengths if he's the guy, and if we don't get too creative or cute, we'll be fine.
  12. Journalists do not always cite sources, though. Correct? Aside from that, agree with your post.
  13. A fun little short story about being in charge.
  14. No worries. Did you ever read the story Take Over, Bos'n? We were regular schmegular members, too, once upon a time.
  15. Again, this is not a First Amendments issue. There is no "free speech" on an Internet forum.
  16. Is there an investigation? Who is conducting it?
  17. So members of Congress should only make comments on issues directly pertaining to their district? That's news to me. When did we pass that law?
  18. LINK This is the whole text. I don't see where she got a couple of questions she didn't like at a presser. She wants transparency on both sides of this - who's funding the mosque and who's funding opposition to the mosque. What's the problem? Please don't put me in a position of defending Nancy Pelosi. Much as I hate to admit it, I think she's right on this instance. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while, but that does NOT mean I'm a supporter of Pelosi. Far from it.
  19. It's not just about sports. Why do people who are so hung up in their religion and/or beliefs feel the need to push them onto others? Believe whatever you want to believe and do whatever you want to do as long as it doesn't affect me, but don't start blowing your cultish smoke up my rear end. Some of these sheep who constantly try to suck others into their gig are pathetic. It's not much of a stretch to call organized religion a publicly accepted cult. Dammit!!! Did I miss The Annual God Squad Skeet Shoot and Non-believer Roundup again this year? No worries, the ride never stops. That works both ways, you know.
  20. It's not "preposterous," it's entirely logical. The contention is that there is no god. Therefore, all the harm done in the name of "god" is done by humans without any outside influence, ie, "god." Humanity is a closed system. We exist on this planet without any other sentient influence. Without any other sentient influence, all harms done by humans originate with humans. All "god" is is an excuse. All harms done in the name of "god" are human harms done by humans. Removing "god" from the equation doesn't mean less harms, it means different reasons. "God" is not harm. "God" is a tool, like guns are tools. You're claiming that without guns humans wouldn't kill each other. 10,000 years of swords and arrows beg to differ.
  21. Do you think it came to that? I would doubt it, but you never know. They're both very passionate guys. I think it would be hard not to know by now that Bo is the absolute dictator over everything football related, so I can't imagine Ek going berserk on any decision like this. It's not like he wouldn't see this coming if it was his guys that got everything shut down.
  22. The accident was in 1999. When did you claim your money?
