  1. Ralph is infected And the Ralph needs a facelift Sanchez well til sacked!
  2. Not voluntarily silent- - just muzzled. At least one such post was deleted by the mods. Seems appropriate under the circumstances.
  3. A few more details on how it works: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000056619/article/ir-tweak-could-help-david-decastro-desmond-bishop http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000056619/article/ir-tweak-could-help-david-decastro-desmond-bishop Do we have anybody already on IR besides Troup?
  4. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but give the guy a little time, huh?
  5. Missing woman unknowingly joins search for herself: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/missing-woman-unknowingly-joins-search-herself-165249353.html Did Dick Jauron ever drive a tour bus in Iceland?
  6. Most people don't know that the big red "N" on the cornhusker football helmets stands for "Nowledge."
  7. Maybe the authors of the study that found no cognitive impairment were current or former pot users, and were therefore already cognitively impaired when designing the study and interpreting the results?
  8. To paraphrase the publications: Per Pousoulidis and provincial police, petite Pantazopoulos playfully poses - - perishes in pursuit of popular pictures by Pagakis. Pity.
  9. Kate Upton has that annoying restraining order, so I dunno, maybe Jennifer Love Hewitt?
  10. For quite a bit of background about multiple workers' comp cases involving NFL players, see: http://www.law.com/jsp/cc/PubArticleCC.jsp?id=1202546314009&NFL_and_Falcons_Sue_Former_Players_Over_Workers_Comp Lots more info in the full article above. Less comprehensive treatment at: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/21/california-delivers-blow-to-player-workers-compensation-claims/ and http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/west/2012/08/07/258619.htm (involves Bruce Matthews)
  11. Well, seems like there must be a reason they named this place the "Thirsty Turtle" - - and they serve drinks: http://www.thirstyturtlefl.com/
  12. So in all 3 examples, the cops never actually told you to do anything: 1. Cop repeatedly asks to look in your bag; 2. Cop asks if it is OK to look in your car; 3. Cop tells you what the cop is planning to do and changes his mind when you mention the need for a warrant - - but at least the way you described it, the cop never actually instructed you to do anything. I certainly agree that you are never required to give a cop permission to do anything, because you indeed do have rights. And you are also right that an amazingly large number of people stupidly give cops permission to search when they would be within their rights to refuse. But spare me the bravado of saying: "I don't have to do what a cop says, just because he tells me to. Never have, never will." at least until you've refused to do something that a cop actually instructed (as opposed to asked) you to do. Here's what your tale justifies you to say: "I don't have to allow a cop to do what the cop wants to do, just because the cop asks me for permission to do it. Never have, never will." Not the same thing as refusing to do what a cop tells you to do.
  13. If Ryan Lochte pees in my pool I'm gonna fry his pecker right off!
  14. Google is our friend (see the photo slide show): http://djcolleenshannon.com/photos.html
  15. Please use the search feature before starting new topics, as the subject of large riding John Deere lawn mowers has already been discussed in a prior thread - - see reply # 30 here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/130111-toronto-taking-the-bills-is-like-my-ex-wife/page__hl__%20lawn%20%20mower%20%20confusion__st__20 $100 for just annual service isn't going to keep anybody happy, although getting an entirely new mower after four services in a year could be uplifting. However you resolve your lawn mowing problems, I strongly recommend that you do not hire any Canadian gardeners to do it.
  16. http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-incidents/seat-swap-outcry-moves-virgin-to-think-again-20120810-23y7q.html
  17. How does that old bumper sticker read about nobody rides for free? http://www.mercuryne...assengers-pitch
  18. I would not have expected Jimbo and Jason to be friends.
  19. And I thought tooth-whitening parties were just an urban myth: http://www.3dwhite.com/crest-products/2-hour-express-whitestrips.aspx
  20. Whether or not we run much Wildcat on offense, it seems likely that we will need to defend the Wildcat on defense at least occasionally. With the Jets as our first oppenent, it kind of makes sense that our defense would need to get in a little work against it. Whatever you think of Tebow as a QB, he's a talented runner, and nobody really knows how the Jets will use him yet.
  21. 1. I have a dream that this little dwarf will one day live in a nation where he will not be judged by his height, or by his win-loss record in Super Bowls, but by the content of his character! 2. That's the last time I make a bet with Bob Kraft - - now I gotta take this dwarf everywhere.
  22. First, thanks for the report. But don't keep us in suspense - - did Anderson win with Rock, Paper or Scissors? Everybody knows you're not supposed to run with Scissors, so I'm guessing it was Rock or Paper.
  23. You raise an interesting point. Chan has what, maybe 15-20 seconds to make a play call so that there is still time for it to be communicated to others in the huddle? But Fitz has to make time-pressured decisions, too, based on his pre-snap and post-snap reads. So Fitz also ought to be thinking in a foreign language about things like whether to audible, or where to pass as he goes through his processions. Anybody that has to make time-pressured decisions could benefit from a decision-making methodology that promotes rational thinking over emotional responses. Besides, for all we know, Fitz might already be doing this. He went to Harvard, after all, and if I remember right, he was an econ major. He may already know all about the Nobel Prize in economics for prospect theory. He was certainly doing something different early last season that floated his level of play before London Fletcher displaced his ribs. What matters is thinking in a foreign language - - not communicating the decision in a foreign language after the decision is made. Why would Fitz jeapordize any secret competitive advantage by speaking in a foreign language? He could do that in English (and that way nobody else on the team has to learn German, or Klingon, or whatever). Just my 2 rupees. GO BILLS!
  24. I was under the impression (could be wrong) that the Nobel Prize is named after Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite, and that the prize in various fields is given out at an awards ceremony each December in Sudan. Kinda strange that the Nobel piece prize is named after the guy who invented dynamite - - but hey, it is what it is. I still don't think that they give a Nobel prize out for comedy, but I'm not an expert about this stuff, and I didn't mean to offend anybody. The important point here, though, is that Chan really could improve his play calling if he thought about his options in a foreign language. That's easy to make fun of, but it's what the research shows. The guy who came up with the idea didn't get invited to the Sudan for being clueless. There's a lot we still don't know about how the brain and our nerdological system works. I don't claim to understand why people make more rational and less emotional decisions when they think about problems in a foreign language. But that is what the research shows. We should use every advantage we can get, and I think Chan is smart enough to do this. Just my 2 drachma. GO BILLS!
  25. Wonder how many cats I could cram in a semi-trailer? Anybody who lives in the required zip codes wanna take delivery for a piece of the action? http://www.foundanimals.org/about-us/news/press-release-cash-cats-campaign
