Yeah I was at that game. Usually the lattes and stuff keep people pretty pacified but the Grambling Tiger Band was in town and played before the game. Everyone got riled up and inspired the team. The Seawaks did try to come back and lose in the second half but Vick got hurt....

I didn't rip on him. I merely posted the article and commented that I didn't know there was another son of Jeb. I thought Jeb only had the three kids. It looks like he's got four, and 3/4 of them have been arrested for either alcohol, drugs, stalking, or something else. These are facts, nothing more or less. Everyone is someone's child. For example, Bill Clinton's mom was still alive and people were ripping on her child. George Bush's mom is still alive and people rip on him. That's what happens when you live in the public eye.

Who knew that Jeb had another son? story

So you're saying the President is NOT human? Goodness me, we agree on something.

It's that kind of mentality that lets the Saudis walk all over us. I suppose you would have spurned a Victory Garden in WWII? Duh. Say your car gets 23 mpg. Say you live 2 miles from the grocery store. Say you make 3 roundtrips to the store per week to get a few things that you could probably wait to get. That's a minimum of 12 miles a week or 1/2 gallon of gas. Multiply that by 52 and you get 26 gallons of gas, for some vehicles a full tank. So if you just consciously tried to stop "running to the store" and consolidating your errands into one trip, you could save gas, time and money. But of course we don't conserve in America, all resources are here for us to use and/or sh-- upon. So that when the people of China and India, who are used to deprivation and hard work, take over, there won't be much worth having. Duh.

Let's talk about lasagne instead. Or, if you prefer the Fearless Leader theme, milquetoast.

I never thought he was funny, which is why the right wing can have him. He belongs there. He always made my skin crawl just to look at him. And he REALLY sucked on Monday Night Football.

At least it was just one. Fearless Leader was here with a TWO-MILE LONG entourage of those big f-ing guzzlers last year.

How about the PEOPLE doing something about the fewking gas prices by reducing consumption? You know, supply and demand? Even simple things like refusing to "run out to the store" 2-3 times a week could make a difference in terms of conservation.

You have to wear white when you eat Italian, so it's easy to determine who gets the first (and best) Italian flag. (For the untutored that means the spilling of red sauce on yourself.) Last night I prepped for the contest with a nice homemade pasta and meat sauce - the garlic woke me up at 2 am but was well worth it.

Not kidding. Her eldest sister Anne came to the US from Italy at age 15 in an arranged marriage...and the rest of the family followed. My great-grandma only spoke Italian. And my uncle Art lives about 40 minutes outside of Florence. Now THAT'S Italian.

My nana's name is Immaculata Concepcione Cornelia Rossi. And going strong at age 97. I got 3 pounds of excellent imported Italian aged cheese of various types in my kitchen plus access to some of the best fresh produce ever from the Yakima Valley. At the risk of being called a troll, I say BRING IT ON.

bwahhahahhahahaa. Well, I can make a mean lasagna. So when Condi Rice runs for President and her slot's open, well they can slide me right in.

We were too damned scared to scream. But I do remember how scary it was and how good it felt to get home. That's what I get for going to a Catholic school in East Rochester. ugh. By the time I was 8 I was so inured to the fear that when a train derailed one evening in the village of Fairport, I assumed the noise I heard was the promised Russian invasion, and I didn't care one iota.

I'm too far away. Mt. Rainier looks really close but it's 85 miles away. A really bad Mt. St. Helen's explosion could do some harm in terms of volcanic ash but that's a ways too. I'm in the most danger from the lodgepole pines in the back yard.

How well I remember! We not only knew where all our local shelters were but we all had survival stuff in our basements (I got spanked for opening the peanut butter), and many drills. I remember one time they had a big drill where they let us out of school to see how fast we could run home (that was stupid) and I was a scared 6 year old with a long walk home - we didn't have a car. Today at 10:45 PST there's an earthquake / tsunami drill here. Fortunately I live WAY on top of a hill overlooking the lake so I only have to worry about the earthquake knocking me into the lake.

You must be an imposter. You've actually been funny lately.

I was a VP once, never want to work that hard again. Being a line officer was more fun...especially when there were rookies to torture.

I hear crabs make you itchy. I sure don't want that... :-)

Well here's one that's floating around, maybe you've seen it. I got it from a Republican friend from Alabama, whose wife still has 2 missing relatives. It kind of speaks to the "out of touch" label. And we could talk about how quickly the rebuilding contracts have been let, without bidding, to Halliburton/KBR etc. but that would be another thread. They were MUCH faster as reacting when it came to that. Surprise surprise.

Of course not. Just teasing.

If you scratched all irrational discussion on this board it would sure as hell save a lot of money on server space.

I'll always love you best right after JP and my fearless sea captain. I don't fry wings anymore - up here, you must brine and smoke it., if you absolutely HAVE to have it I suspect that deep frying would bring the police to my door. It's not as bad as CA where you're expected to live on nuts and twigs, but close. What a change from Texas where you fry everything from BVDs to Twinkies.

My sweet friend, I am actually able to watch football, work on my 2006 marketing budget AND insult George Bush simultaneously. I understand that would be beyond the mental capabilities of most people around here but thanks to my wi-fi network, DirecTV and of course super-high IQ I was even able to take the time to appreciate just how much better looking JP Losman is than either Blew Dreadslow OR David Carr...and regret I'm too old to do anything about it.
