  1. I saw that ep last night. Love the show... My father was a cop and I sware I could see him and his cop buddies in ever one of the situations they get into on 911.
  2. I like a good burger every now and again but this is getting a little ridiculous. The bad thing is Hardees has this listed on the front page of their site as a "low carb option", as if it were healthy. Sadly people on low carb diets will probably eat this kind of thing up and in turn gain more and more weight. Hardee’s introduces 1,420-calorie burger 'Monster Thickburger' feasts on industry health craze. The "Monster Thickburger" — two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun — sells alone for $5.49, $7.09 with fries and a soda. ST. LOUIS - As many fast-food chains introduce healthier fare amid fears of being sued, Hardee’s is introducing a hamburger with 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat. St. Louis-based Hardee’s Food Systems Inc. on Monday rolled out its Monster Thickburger — two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun. The sandwich alone sells for $5.49, $7.09 with fries and a soda. The introduction comes at a time when McDonald’s Corp., Wendy’s International Inc. and other fast-food giants have broadened their offerings of salad and other lower-calorie fare amid concerns that the industry could be held legally liable for America’s obesity epidemic. Last year, a federal judge in New York dismissed two class-action suits blaming McDonald’s for making people fat. McDonald’s was also skewered earlier this year by “Super Size Me,” an award-winning documentary that targeted the fast food industry. Even before the new Monster Thickburger, the chain offered five sandwiches with 1,000 calories or more, and eight overall that have more calories than what was once the big-burger standard — McDonald’s 600-calorie Big Mac. “Maybe this is a smart strategy because there are still folks out there who care about the taste and size of their sandwich, and less about their weight,” said Jerry McVety, president of the restaurant consulting firm McVety & Associates in Farmington Hills, Mich. In trading Monday, shares of Hardee’s parent company, CKE Restaurants Inc., closed up 13 cents, or 1 percent, at $12.63. Click Here for Article
  3. I was a bad ass 6th grader, never gave or received any texas chili bowls though. Funny, where the teacher was on fire and they started to pee on her to put her out. Sick stuff but funny...
  4. Is it just me or is anyone else getting sick of these trials that catch the nations attention? The break rooms at my office were filled with people watching TV Friday afternoon when they released the verdict. Now for the made-for-tv movie... Any thoughts?
  5. I thought these were pretty cool, sidewalk chalk art...
  6. Didn't realize my posts bothered you so much Dave No really, why would you want to ignore certain posts on a message board? I could understand ignore in chat rooms and instant messenger but message boards? It seem if you ignored certain posts in a thread you would be missing the point of the discussion in the thread? Just curious...
  7. Saw Friday Night Lights last weekend. I'd give it a B overall. I didnt like the way some of it was filmed, the documentary style camera work gave me a headache. Can't say I liked the ending to much either. Team America is next on my list to see.
  8. Good observations, I think I have read stupider stuff. So if marriage is such a sacred thing, why isn't such a big deal made out of the ridiculous amount of divorces that take place in our country? Question, how do you fix the problem; make it harder go get married, harder to get divorced or can anything be done about it at all?
  9. Here's a little game to kill time for anyone having a case of the Mondays. Jump the Mini: Click Here
  10. Don't know if yard signs have the same effect but I noticed the other day that people with political stickers on there car are bad drivers. Just an observation... I'm pretty positive the car in this pic has a political bumper sticker on the back.
  11. Poor Mike, trying to make everyone feel better. After all that you have to remember Bush still won.
  12. My momma always told me not to discuss politics or religion with strangers so I'll hold my tongue. Just glad the election is over.
  13. I did, she's a big faker… It was discussed a little here. It was here band's fault, no it was heartburn, humm, which was it??? Faker...
  14. Tuesday is Election Day. Here are some pointers to keep in mind when heading to the polls: If at all possible, vote before work. That way, you can make smug comments to non-voters all day long. The new electronic voting machines are complicated. But don't worry: Octogenarians will be on hand to troubleshoot any technological problems that might arise. If your election official hooks you up to a machine via a needle in your arm, you are actually donating blood. Tip for those on the go: Voting a straight ticket can save you up to 15 seconds. Remember that, as a member of a participatory democracy, you have a duty to make your voice heard on Election Day. If you find that idea hard to grasp, think of it like the lotto: You can't win if you don't play. Don't wear dress shoes. They leave black scuff marks on gymnasium floors. Voting is no longer considered uncool. Note that it is not cool, either. Many newspapers offer sample ballots. Buy 10 copies and practice, practice, practice. Remember to vote, or P. Diddy will kill you. This is one of the most important elections in recent times, so it's best if you just leave it up to the pros. When voting, you don't need to dress up in a scary costume or hand out candy. That happens two days earlier. You might think it's funny, but it's disrespectful to submit write-in candidates like "Don Knotts," "Mickey Mouse," or "Michael Badnarik." Remember to take the day off to vote. And the day before, to psyche up. And the morning after, to dry out. If you are black and a resident of Florida, work out two or three alternate routes to your polling place to avoid police checkpoints. The most important thing is to vote your conscience. Okay, this is your conscience speaking: "Vote Nader. Vo-o-o-o-ote Nader." If you are a Flintstone, make sure to put the granite slab arrows-first into the dinosaur's mouth. If you live in Florida, for Christ's sake, look at the ballot very, very carefully this time. Education is the issue Americans say is most important. Find someone with one of those to read the ballot to you. Keep in mind that the name of every person who votes against George Bush is going to be read aloud on television the next time we're attacked by terrorists. If you don't know where the polling place is in your district, just try to remember the ugliest, dingiest, most depressing building in a three-mile radius. That's probably it. What To Bring Remember to bring proper identification to the polls. This can be: Driver's license or your chauffeur Passport and photos of your boyfriend in Paris SuperVoter discount card Note from president Proof that your grandfather voted Retinal scan or your alderman's retinas Two Iraqi scalps Receipt for your shoes Videotape of your first steps Halliburton employee ID Birthday card from grandmother Pint of sperm for DNA-identification purposes Casserole dish to pass A good friend who can totally vouch for you Signed $20 bill Autographed celebrity photo inscribed with your name
  15. Starting another pic thread since the last one is getting full. Yes, this pic is kinda sick but I laughed out loud when I saw it. Can ya tell I'm a dog person?..
  16. Well in my opinion, if you are going to pay to see someone sing they should actually be singing. That's why they get paid the big bucks...
  17. I was watching this when it happened and was wtf, ha-ha! Serves her right for lip sinking… Now she's playing it off, upset stomach, um okay, faker…... NEW YORK - If Ashlee Simpson’s stomach was upset Saturday night, imagine how she’s feeling now. The 19-year-old singer was busted for a “Saturday Night Live” lip-synch gone awry, with her manager-father saying Monday that his daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse. “Just like any artist in America, she has a backing track that she pushes so you don’t have to hear her croak through a song on national television,” Joe Simpson told Ryan Seacrest on Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. “No one wants to hear that.” More Here
  18. Here's some honest to goodness quotes: Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever," -- Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest. "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff," -- Mariah Carey "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life," -- Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for federal anti-smoking campaign. "I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body," -- Winston Bennett, University of Kentucky basketball forward.

We are the president," -- Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents. "That lowdown scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I'm just the one to do it," -- A congressional candidate in Texas. "I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." -- John Wayne "Half this game is ninety percent mental." -- Philadelphia Phillies manager, Danny Ozark "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment.

I assisted in furthering that version," -- Colonel Oliver North, from his Iran-Contra testimony. "The word 'genius' isn't applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein," -- Joe Theisman, NFL football quarterback & sports analyst. "We don't necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of people." -- Colonel Gerald Wellman, ROTC Instructor. "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." -- Bill Clinton, President "We are ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur." -- Al Gore, VP "Traditionally, most of Australia's imports come from overseas." -- Keppel Enderbery "Your food stamps will be stopped effective March 1992 because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances." -- Department of Social Services, Greenville, South Carolina "If somebody has a bad heart, they can plug this jack in at night as they go to bed and it will monitor their heart throughout the night. And the next morning, when they wake up dead, there'll be a record." -- Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman “If we let the loggers go in and cut down all the trees we wouldn’t have a problem with forest fires.” – George Bush
  19. Good sites, squizzle's one of my favorites. I was just setting here at work and thinking to myself, damn I'm board, what to do, what to do...
  20. Holy crap that is just wrong. I kinda expected more reaction from that pic. I figured either everyone is on vacation or that ya'll didn't see anything wrong with it.
