I think "zealot" isn't fair. He approaches his religion with zeal, so yeah, technically...but that word connotes a sort of aggressive fanaticism that I don't detect from Tebow. As far as I can tell, his faith is open and public but he doesn't proselytize or speak negatively of those with different faiths.

Winter is chili season, and a lot of guys swear by their patented chili recipe, so I thought I'd open up a forum. I'm an Irish-Mexican American mutt, so here's what I do... Sage's Pot O' (Gold) Guinness Chili: - 1.5 pounds beef chuck, diced - 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes - 2 tbsp. olive oil - 1 tsp. crushed red pepper - 1 tsp. cumin - 2 small onions, minced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 3 jalapeno peppers, minced - 1.5 bottles Guinness (the other half to be drunk by the chef) - 1.5 dry cups pinto beans (soaked overnight) - salt to taste - Cholula hot sauce (or Frank's) to taste Served over a bed of rice, and sprinkled with extra sharp cheddar cheese.

Hell, I'm not depressed. Christmas is on its way.

A SWAT team is on its way to your domicile as we speak.

Meh, should've beat Cincy and NYG, but Oakland and NE should've easily put us away too. It evens out. 5-8 is just about accurate.

What kind of conversations can one pretend to have with an infant daughter? This intrigues me.

This thread shouldn't go without mention of the Civil Rights Movement. I hold its leaders in the same regard as the signers of the Declaration - people who threw life and limb to the wind in defense of what they knew to be right in their hearts. As for a specific event...The "I have a dream" speech? Rosa Parks and the bus boycott? Passing of the Civil Rights Act? EDIT: Montgomery Bus Boycott occurred 56 years ago.

The newest facebook interface is pretty crazy. That's my vote.

I think Doris deserves at least two seasons to implement her system.

I remember reading that. As much as I admire Hitch, that article was a complete crock of **** in my opinion.

Whichever event lent the most immediacy to mainstreaming PC technology.

I've tangoed with the ghost pepper...wouldn't want to try any dish where it's the main ingredient, though.

I hope there's a God...because now there's finally somebody in heaven who will hold him accountable for all the BS. RIP

Well, everything is relative. Compared to his "King of All Media" peak, he's sunk pretty far on the pop culture chart.

Well, it's already hit the small screen. The fan base? Males aged 14-35 known as "Bronies". No, I am not joking. http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/06/bronies-my-little-ponys/

What's the next toy franchise after Transformers and G.I Joe run out of steam? I've got my money on Pixar doing anthropomorphic Slinkies.

Assuming that wasn't the grossest thing ever, how did it even work? If somebody blindfolds me and says "just start making out", I'm gonna assume it's some disgusting/demeaning prank and not comply. I assume most people would do the same...

Sounds like something from one of those Final Destination movies.

Sorry if the intent of this thread wasn't clear. It was supposed to be a comedic hyperbole thing, not an actual blast on Losman (who I think is a cool guy). Sorta like the Tebow/Chuck Norris thing, but with negative stuff. I thought the ridiculousness of the original post made that evident. Apparently a lot of people thought it was juvenile, so I apologize for making it easily misconstrued.

There's also a definite punctuation correlation. The number of consecutive exclamation points or question marks normally correlates positively with the stupidity of said post.

Astoundlingly, the greatest delusion suffered by many American Christians is that they are a repressed minority.

Lay off. Everybody knows Thursday sucks.

I've been seeing a lot of Remembering 2011 content. There are 16 solid days left for some !@#$ed up **** to occur.

Thank you. And yes, you can count on a couple jumpers every year. In the 2009-2010 school year, there was a glut of them and the university installed high black fences on the bridges. The townies HATE the fences because they're an eye sore (and I'm also convinced that many of them hate the students to the extent that they aren't disturbed by the jumper stories). This often is the case, but people can also be pretty adept at faking happiness to keep up appearances. Changes in behavior occur, but they don't always become overtly withdrawn.
