As much as I want to see a Bills win tonight, I disagree with your premise. Nobody remembers/cares about the results of preseason games.

How exactly did this happen? Once you're cornered on Africa, it pretty much becomes a matter of luck, no?

But still, what's your point? It's just the colloquial name of the collective people in America descended from the indigenous peoples. I don't think you're really educating anybody when you say that most of us were born here in America.

I don't doubt it. After all, this is the home of Freedom Fries. No joke, I played the French Horn, among other brass instruments, back in high school. Our band director, a crazy pseudo-patriot, insisted that we be referred to as the "Freedom Horn" section.

This isn't a board game, but since we're talking about games played with family at gatherings and such, here's a nice on if you get a large group together... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28party_game%29 Really stimulates discussion and it's always good times. The difference in my family's version is that the narrator is involved in the game, and face-down playing cards are used by the sheriff to hunt down the mafia.

He's the Levoise But he's got to get in line behind the Poise and the Broise for now.

Yeah that's a nice game, but somebody's always getting screwed over. Risk is my favorite. I have a bad habit of aligning with my sister, and then ultimately coming in 2nd.

On those specific days. I don't believe in superstition, just a story I like to tell.

Whoops. Haha, I was looking at the number of posts. Anyhoo, the point still stands.

I was born on Friday the 13th. Twice, my birthday has fallen on Friday the 13th (5 and 16 years old), and twice I've gotten violently ill.

You're definitely going to want to get a good tailgate experience...there's no tailgate like the Ralph, and I've been to quite a few. Since you're traveling solo, I'm sure that somebody on the board here would be amenable to hanging out with ya. I'm going to the Oct. 3 game against the Jests, myself. Have fun!

If there's one thing that pisses me off the most about this recent rash of newbies, it's their tendency to post stupid sh*t as if it's been confirmed (or at least hinted at) by the organization, only to open up the thread and realize it's pure BS speculation. This particular thread didn't fool me or anything, but still, would it be so hard to title the thread "Would we sign Thigpen if cut?" or something?

I'd imagine an appletini or something.

Therein lies the question...It was a looping line drive that was dying off as it travelled. Why was everybody so afraid of it? I guess people in Houston are just wimps haha.

Well done as usual Lori. One mistake that I noticed, Shawn Johnson is not a tight end for the Bills

This has got to be devastating for Braves fans. Sad thing is, they have a legit shot at the World Series this year, and Chipper won't be around for it.

Please tell me you're grilling the corn too. Actually don't tell me, you'll just make me more jealous.

I actually tend to like it, and use parentheses when I write pretty often. In my opinion, it can allow for the writer to control the pace and flow of the article. Also, when you read an opinion article it is supposed to come off as if the writer is reading it aloud to you. Parenthetical asides give the piece a more personal touch. Of course, you can go overkill with parentheses and plenty of writers unfortunately do.

San Diego, and he might be a starter if Vincent Jackson continues to hold out... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AgZX...ts-2010-nfl-sdg

My championship fantasy team last year was named The Steve Johnsons, surely a harbinger of good things for the young WR.

Bills 23 Redskins 21 After Rian Lindell gets a bad case of Montezuma's Revenge, emergency kicker Brian Moorman nails a 70 yard field goal as the clock winds down, and gets carried off the field by both Bills and Redskins players.

1) This guy's about the millionth sports writer to use that stupid law firm joke. 2) I don't understand the QB situation as a rationale that the Bills will be worse than last year. We had the same exact situation last year! 3) He criticizes the team for not going out and acquiring a big space eating DT, and implies that Kyle Williams is the only option. Apparently he doesn't pay much attention to the draft.

Uhhh no.

I thought the same thing when he said namby pamby.

I get where you're coming from. I had a few hot teachers who I would've done back then without even thinking. But therein lies the crime...these women exploit the naivety of boys who aren't even close to ready for sex from a maturity standpoint, yet they think they are. What if the woman becomes pregnant? Trust me, I have no misconceptions that it's quite as serious as a 13 year old girl getting statutory raped. But it annoys me when people (not just on this board) talk about the woman like she should be sainted or something. And it's even worse when the woman is a teacher (as it seems she usually is) because that's such a horrible violation of the student-teacher relationship.
