NFW, we can probably get Antowain Smith from the Saints cheaper, maybe a second rounder, and he's a proven winner with two rings to show for it!

Well, not necessarily. He'd probably save the 15-1 prediction until next weekend, followed by an 8-8 the 3rd weekend. That way, no matter what happens, at the end of the season he could pull up one post from the pre-season, and say "LMAO, assclowns! I was right again!"

Mike Williams, Sam Adams and Bennie Anderson, duh!

I thought it was "Moan on Monday." We've had some of that too...though with the Saturday game I guess we got most of that out of our system, haven't we?

only the funny ones count. 29. "Do you mind swinging down to the launch pad with me? We scrubbed the shuttle launch and someone at the base said you could help..."

Some have three views on one issue...

32. We're in luck! They're removing a spleen at the local medical school surgical observation theater, and I got us in!

Certainly less of an argument than the "other" "NY" teams...

I was talking to a friend of mine who is a Pats fan yesterday, and we were talking bills/pats. He says to me....i bet thats comforting having an rb with a surgically repaired knee whose name sounds kinda like "My Lame knee." Never thought of it that way and it struck me funny but hope its just his name and not in his durability lol.

God bless the Hulkster. He was a wrestler who changed the world. ...

Yeah, a ton of hands-on stuff there...pretty cool. Cooler if you have kids with you, but neat nonetheless...

My kids played "tag" with other kids on it...

Congrats Lefty! ...and look at Tiger. Barely makes the cut, yet finishes in 4th. What persistence.

A good teacher will work him from a book, and will probably have a standard book he/she works with...unless you're talking about setting him up with a garage-band wannabe who feels that his ability to play the bass breaks from "My Generation" qualifies him to be a teacher...

Is this going to show up somewhere on the 101 things thread...?

Too much information already.

Really, we don't need to hear about what you do to your legs to prepare for a race, nor how your dream involved cable as applier of said wax...

WRT firewalls, every "service" running on the computer runs on a "port." HTTP, mail, telnet, ftp, etc. servers each have incoming port numbers that they "listen" to for requests. The ports used are the same on practically every system out there. Many firewalls are set up "out-of-box" to support only the ports for "standard" services (mostly the ones mentioned above). IRC is another such service, and it requires two ports: one outgoing (for you to make requests of the server) and one incoming (for the IRC server to talk to you). The server generally (and in this case) "listens" on port 113, while the server expects you generally to be "listening" on 6667. Your firewall hardware/software will need to allow outgoing transmissions on port 113, and incoming on 6667 for IRC to work. Some firewalls are set up by default to be "inclusive" (the list of ports shows the only ports that will work), others "exclusive" (the list of ports shows the ports that are not allowed to work), which is why different firewalls/settings would show different results. Whatever the case, you need to set up your firewall to allow communication over these ports before it will work...am I wrong, fellow nerds?

...actually, I was referring to the "sound-alike" part, but I can take credit for that.

That would serve both purposes...

#65 Show her where the bodies are buried.

I can just imagine the "WTF?!" look on the right guard's face when he felt the hands. Pretty disciplined of him to not false start...

happy birthday

This was an interesting article comparing the current Eagles to the Eagles of the '70's when they picked Papale up off the street...

Wow, you mean you'd pass up your ski trip in Hell to go?
