  1. Seems like every time I read the news I see there's been another mass murder shooting. WTF is going on? Can't we just throw rotten eggs at people we hate instead of shooting them?

      Of course. Not here, this is just where I prefer to rant.

      You are very naive to believe the official story from the media

  2. When a woman calls a guy to tell him something why does she have to restate the entire previous conversation?  Why can't she just skip all that and just take 10 seconds to tell him the one new thing added to the conversation?

      @Moiraine  Yeah, I'd be pissed if someone did that to me.  And more than a bit grossed out too.

  4. This season is teetering on the edge. Could go as it did in 2007. Pray to God that it doesn't.

      I predicted 10-2 before the season started, or possibly 9-3. Right now I'd guess 9-3 or possibly 8-4. Even 7-5 wouldn't surprise me.

    3. Count 'Bility

      Count 'Bility

      To me, surprise and expect are so far apart. No, 8 or 7 wins wouldnt surprise me, but I'm not even close to expecting that. I still expect 9-10 wins. Did from the get go.

    4. TAKODA

      TAKODA

      Yep; I too thought 9 or 10 wins but like NUance said, even 7-5 is a possibility the way we have played so far. If we come out and play like we did in the 2nd half of UCLA in B1G games, this will be a very long season.

  5. ACC suspended the officials over the 8 lateral play. Not sure I agree with that.

      In fairness to the refs, it's best to let the play go unless it is obvious the player is down. But replay clearly showed he was down so the TD shouldn't have counted and the refs missed it.

    3. QMany

      QMany

      Agree, StPaulHusker. Let it go go, better safe than sorry. However, replay CLEARLY showed him down. Inexcusable.

    4. NUance

      @darkhorse: Yeah, I guess the ref was right there. (0:20)

  6. If we do win today what are all these negative newbies going to start threads about? The place will be a ghost town.

      Both sides can use the "at least it's not ________" excuse. Trump picked the right year to run. Any other year it would be even more laughable than it is now.

    3. Michiganball

      I sort of go where my income goes. Bush Sr, recession, under Clinton I made loads of money, the economy smoked and I went independent from a Republican. Bush JR, disaster, sales went down dramatically in less the 2 years of him in the office and bottomed out in 2008. Under Obama income started improving again, not at the rate of Clinton yet but it's ok. So in the end I cant be to excited about another "trickle down" republican. May Hillary reign but more importantly my bank account.

    4. TAKODA

      TAKODA

      I am not infatuated with Trump but I loathe Hilary. If we continue this false path we are on now with Hilary stepping into office, plan on remembering the good ole days because they will all be behind us. IMO

      We used to shoot starlings with our pellet guns as kids. Our parents told us to leave all the other birds alone, but we could shoot as many starlings as we wanted. After reading that article that they're an invasive species, now I know why.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      We would also shoot them as kids. Nobody cared about the starlings, in fact they encouraged us to kill as many as possible. Don't know if it was just a bad few years or what but there were tons of them and people hated them.

    4. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, I used to shoot sparrows and starlings as a kid. I shot hundreds of sparrows. And many dozen starlings. Used an old Benjamin .177 pellet rifle. Got to be pretty accurate with that thing.

  10. Be honest, who would you rather have for President, Donald Trump or Philip J. Fry?

      I talked to the police again later in the evening. Turns out the guy rear-ended some other lady just 10 minutes before and left the scene. He was high on prescription drugs of some kind. Fortunately he does have insurance though.

      My son is/was a lifeguard. It surprised me how many they actually "save". I thought they just walked around swinging their whistles but they actually see action quite often.

      Last year at the pool I was swimming with my daughter and I notice this kid struggling to keep his head above water. I swim to him immediately and pull him up and to the side. A lady greets me at the side of the pool and explains I just saved their 'test victim'.

    4. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      Apparently they were using this kid to 'fake drowning' to see if their lifeguards were paying attention. She almost acted like I should've known or something. Bad thing was, there were no lifeguards coming in to save him. They didn't even seem to notice.

  17. My kid is six years old and starting to question Santa. What do I tell him?

      I'm going to make my own organic milk by taking the label off a gallon my wife bought and pasting it over the whole milk label.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      ZRod- it really shouldn't taste different, all other things being equal. Maybe the organic you've had comes from a slightly different breed. For example, Jerseys will give a lot creamier, butterier, yellow milk than say your typical Holstein.
