Until today, some skeptics just wouldn't believe that the government is involved in the sunken UFO conspiracy. But check this out. The FCC, while attempting to divert our attention with that "lift the NFL black-out rule" nonsense, announced today that the feds are going to kill the nationwide high-speed wireless broadband network proposed by LightSquared. Big deal you say - - so what? Well take a closer look at what's really going on. From the Associated Press: http://www.seattlepi.com/business/article/FCC-plans-to-nix-wireless-network-that-may-jam-GPS-3332706.php So how come the caption for the picture at the top of the article says: LightSquared has already invested nearly 4 billion dollars in a new wireless broadband system and the feds are going to shut them down so the feds can do a better job of tracking sea turtles? Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous? C'mon man! If the government really wanted to track sea turtles, all they would need to do is turn up the power on the GPS satellites so the signals from space would be strong enough to overcome the potential interference from the LightSquared transmitters (which will be on land and won't be anywhere near the sea turtles out in the Gulf of Mexico anyway). But if the NSA is tracking space-based signals that are weak because they're from a distant galaxy, the feds can't turn the power up. I betcha one of them underwater UFOs hit the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig on the way in, and that twin otter DHC-6 in the picture was either searching for the wreckage, or trying to home in on the weak signals from space to try to pinpoint the galaxy that the underwater UFOs came from. I was born at night, but it wasn't LAST night - - and if I worked for LightSquared, I'd be pretty pissed!

Were you too young for the news coverage of his murder trial that was watched by most people on the planet? You should have said he "cuts" like OJ, get it? I thought that was pretty good - - it even matches the implicit bigotry of your OP!

Cut the line for each player into 2 parts, do it for the whole first round, recite it to the "88 lines about 44 women" tune below, and call it "64 lines about 32 rookies." You'll make ESPN's prime time draft show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzMDcL0aiEk

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/12/remaining-2011-cap-space-by-team/ Note that the following list says nothing one way or the other about whether any particular team will choose to carry over its listed, unused 2011 cap space to 2012:

It's new (or at least more straightforward) - - FYI: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/141339-the-2011-cba-has-a-salary-cap-carry-over-clause/

Well, as Ron White says, you can't fix stupid! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL6wbsGx9qw

I was going to post a reply critical of your mind dump, but when I read it, I realized that I think you may have better insights about this stuff than I think you do.

What Irsay really said was - - "We won't eat prunes again ... that's enough."

Sounds like Ralph's kinda guy, no? But if you prefer somebody who communicates better, maybe Norman Schwarzkopf is available. He always seemed like a good communicator when he was doing those Desert Storm briefings. And if the Patriots start up with the videotape cheating again, maybe he could use his NSA contacts to level the playing field.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/George-Paton-sticking-with-Vikings.html You would think that with all his military command experience, a guy like George Paton would be a candidate for the top managerial job, not just an assistant. I guess he's still paying for slapping that cowardly but hospitalized grunt level soldier. Buddy Nix can't be too many years from retirement - - maybe we could lure Paton away from the Vikings then by offering him the top job (assuming he doesn't slap any players on IR in the interim for being unwilling to play "hurt") - - I would think that would be an offer he might be interested in. Wonder if he's still got the pearl-handled revolvers?

Looks like you are probably right. Although this article says questions remain about what's possible for reconfiguring grass fields from baseball to football, it generally supports your conclusions: http://m.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/argos-president-not-fazed-about-lease-issue-at-rogers-centre/article2333198/?service=mobile The NFL field has a smaller "footprint" than the CFL field, so the reconfiguration issues may not be identical for CFL and NFL football, but that may not make much (any?) difference. It's hard for me to reach a definitive conclusion. Anybody know how, if at all, the smaller NFL field size affects the reconfiguration problem mentioned in this article?

http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/2012/01/31/bluejays_grassfield/ It sounds like a switch to a grass field, if it happens, would result in (1) non-renewal of the CFL Argos' lease, and (2) elimination of certain events from the Rogers Centre schedule. Would this make it easier, as a matter of both logistics and politics, to implement a future stadium "dig down" to meet NFL seating capacity requirements? I suppose there would still be events outside the baseball season remaining on the stadium schedule that would be disrupted by the "dig down," but political backlash might be reduced. If the Argos were already evicted (technically non-renewed) because of the switch to grass, it wouldn't matter any more if the "dig down" destroyed the ability to configure the stadium for CFL football's wider and longer playing field. For a related article on how a potential switch to grass might effectively evict the Argos, see: http://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/2012/02/09/argos_rogerscentre_grass/

Have you ever thought about the fact that (1) if you are so affected by the opinions of others that you consider them to be "poison" and feel compelled to tell them to go elsewhere, then (2) you lack the "excessive single-minded zeal" that a "fan" (by your definition) must have? If you were a true fanatic, the opinions of others wouldn't bother you. Just like spending time in prison and mental institutions apparently hasn't dampened the zeal of Madonna's escaped stalker.

Best general explanation of the salary cap that I've found (last updated 8/29/11): http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/faq.asp And while we're at it, I don't know where this guy gets his 2012 numbers, so I can't say for sure, but they seem fairly accurate based on what little I can cross-check: http://nyjetscap.com/Bills/bills2012.php I do know that he updates fairly promptly. He already has updated for Sanborn and for Corto being cut.

Rating quality of life is a pretty subjective thing. I recommend you try to spend a little time if you can in whatever location you eventually zero in on - - especially in the weather season that you think might be problematic. Sounds like you are thinking about moving generally south, so winters will seem easy anywhere - - check out the summers to make sure you like them. Some resources: 1. Tax information (all kinds) by state: http://portal.kiplinger.com/tools/retiree_map/ Ignore the fact that the link nominally is for retirees and click on any state in the map that interests you - - you will get all kinds of tax info for that state (including but not limited to tax info for retirees). 2. City specific information: https://secure.vacationstogo.com/wheretoretire/bi-online.cfm Again, though couched as info for retirees, every issue of "Where To Retire" magazine has useful general information about various communities. Note that you can see an alphabetical list of previously profiled cities (rather than rummaging at random through the above link) by going here: https://secure.vacationstogo.com/wheretoretire/cities_profiled.cfm Large bookstores, news-stands or libraries may have the current magazine edition so you can see the kind of info it provides - - if you are lucky a good sized library may have back issues you can view for free. 3. General info about various places to live: Root around here for a while (note especially the cost of living comparison tool): http://www.bestplaces.net/ and here (note links to finding and comparison tools, not just the top ten city list): http://www.kiplinger.com/guides/best-cities/ 4. When you narrow down your list, google the nearest big city name along with "moving guide" or "relocation guide" - - you may find that the local chamber of commerce or tourism agency will send you a free packet of all kinds of info upon request. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Never really thought about it before, but could it simply be that when faced with an unanswerable question like "where did mankind come from?" - - diverse cultures attributed the answer to one of the few things that they all could see but not touch (and which therefore had a somewhat mystical quality) - - the stars? Does that make any sense? I guess that's a version of your #3.

Tagliabue was a secret DEA agent who left tickets for Elvis? Well I suppose that might explain LT's and Michael Irvine's cocaine busts.

Unfortunately, we can no longer consult the world's foremost (and funniest) expert on time:

So you're saying that because there is no proof of Glanville's sanity, the idea that Glanville is sane is a government conspiracy? What does that have to do with underwater UFOs? You sound like my sister Darlene.

If Elvis is really dead, why does Jerry Glanville leave him game day tickets?

The store clerk was a woman, so the thief was lucky that "Captain Sav-A-Ho" was either off-duty or needed elsewhere (you can't make this stuff up): http://jontrouten.blogspot.com/2011/08/captain-save-ho-arrested-in-iowa-city.html

He says just use fabric softener. It prevents static clingon.

My oldest brother Darryl says that's just not believable. A cruise missile launch would be too hard to keep secret. Why not just turn the security cameras off for a few minutes and defoliate a shaped charge from a safe distance INSIDE the outer perimeter of the Pentagon? My youngest brother Darryl thinks we should use the alien ceramics for peaceful purposes, like renovating the Ralph with something that won't require expensive upkeep. Still sounds costly to me.
