Hmmmm....sliced beer.

It all begins around puberty. Boys notice girls, and girls notice them noticing. And thus the exploitation begins. Which isn't to say it's not a 2-way street. I've seen women yanked around by men too, but the ladies certainly know how to use their wiles. Being 22, I remember 14 all too well. Talk about hormonal goo...

The difference is hard to explain, but I kinda prefer "cute" over "hot". A few of the girls in this video were very cute.

And then there's Maude.

I think you're right. Women have this amazing power where they can rationally decide when, where and with whom they'll have sex. It's baffling.

Can YOU say Jabari Greer and Jim Leonhard?

I swear, if I see one more of these clowns smiling on the sidelines...football is a game for gritting your teeth and frowning!

True enough. In regards to this particular campus, I feel bad for a certain "Trevor" who's apparently been friend-zoned by the cutie in the blue jacket.

My biggest takeaway from that - why didn't I go to Utah State?

Wow. Fitz went to HARVARD? That's not where quarterbacks usually go to school!

A lot of people don't realize that Chapman was also on the cusp of killing James Taylor on December 7 and had a very creepy encounter the morning of December 8 with Lennon's son Sean, outside the Dakota. Deeply disturbed individual. "I'm sure the large part of me is Holden Caufield, who is the main person in the book. The small part of me must be the Devil."

Which is just dumb. Maybe if we were all honest about our weird !@#$ed up sexual stuff, we could not pretend to be outraged whenever a teacher also displays being human. I say this with all sincerity. I apologize, from society, that you're held to a higher standard.

This. I don't know the specifics of Manning's contract - no trade clauses and such - but I'll bet my bottom dollar that if he says no to a trade, it means no.

Hmmm. That's the acting trade for ya. Better than not being remembered. RIP

Man, I hear that. My granddad was Navy, on a ship in the Pacific during WWII. At some juncture, they were ordered to leave drowning Japanese soldiers to die rather than take them as P.O.W's. The details are so vague because they're all I know. He can't talk about anything regarding the war for more than a few seconds without breaking down in tears. Now that dementia has set in, I won't know the whole story. Over time I've come to think it may be better that way.

Are there any books on Iwo Jima that you'd recommend personally? If DC Tom sees this, I've no doubt his two cents are valuable too. Thanks!

I thought Cell started off really well but couldn't carry the weight of its own narrative and petered out. Of course, we're talking Stephen King here so what else is new? As far as the general scope of zombie fiction goes, it was rather middling in my opinion. Season 1 of The Walking Dead was a similar piece of fiction that maintained itself much better. Of course, tv vs. literature is apples to oranges. Under the Dome was just...ugh. Complete waste of time. The damn thing should've been a 60 page novella.

Was the book any good? The last two new King novels I bought, Cell and Under the Dome, both sucked. His collection of short stories, Just After Sunset, was spectacular though.

Someone dusted off the thesaurus.

Been rewatching on Neflix in my spare time. I'm halfway through Season 2 right now. I'd suggest it for any fan...it's fascinating to rewind and watch the characters develop with the knowledge of where they are right now. In particular, I've gained a new appreciation for Dean Norris' portrayal of Hank. Very nuanced character. He's THE unsung hero of the series if you ask me.

Male or female, sometimes people just need to be socked in the face to learn a lesson. When you're being physically belligerent like that, gender has nothing to do with it.

I think of it like this... McDonald's makes crappy ass hamburgers for cheap. But people buy them in droves for a number of reaons, none of which is "because it's quality food". Am I ANGRY at McDonald's that their business plan works? Of course not.

Minced bread.

Yeah? Well, you know...that's just, like, her opinion, man.

Good plan. Lay low. With a Guinness, all the better. Perhaps this conversation should be moved to the baseball forum. That will provide for some secrecy.
