  1. Please tell me Marrone is not another my way or the highway guy. That got "fat guy" Pat Williams about 5 pro bowl years.......for the Vikings. London Fletcher got moved out....Spikes....Lynch....and others....all because coaches/GMs whose egos were too big to realize that they are a part of the team.....not the whole team. They all think they are General Patton. Instead of looking inwardly and improving their coaching skills to motivate guys like this, who are inevitable on any roster of 53, they "make examples" of them and assemble a minor league roster. Get the talent....coach the talent. A real malcontent can go, but if you're waiting for 53 perfect individuals you'll be waiting for a while. This guy can't handle the relatively innocent Stevie Johnson? A guy who wants to stay in Buffalo and wants to win here? If he can't do that he should simply resign instead of cutting Johnson to look like some sort of tough guy. If he is unable to handle Stevie his failure is inevitable. Spare us the misery; we've had enough.

     

    Marrone looks more and more like Gregg Williams every day. It's too bad really. I think either one could have been a good coach if they had just an ounce of humility. Greggo didn't/doesn't. Marrone???????

  2. I think Beerglobe went on the bender with Jefe... In the Bently ... They were spotted at a truck stop just outside of Columbus.. Ennifer was also in the backseat ... Topless. ... :o

     

    Realistic scenario except Sven is still asleep in the Bently. Also from the mini-copter I saw Jefe face down in a drainage ditch. He'll be back tomorrow.

     

    Anyway, I'm pretty sure Ennifer shape shifted into Sage's fiance........God knows what she did with the real one.......and is patiently biding her time until the wedding night.......Sage won't listen and I am worried. No sign of Beerboy.....as usual. He usually ends up with no excuse for his absence but I try not to get worked up about it. That one time he was out for a while I got all mad and found out he was laid up with spiral vaginitis. I felt guilty for almost an hour.

  3. GE, nothing not even a meal anymore. They give management a huge Christmas party at Glen Sanders mansion.

     

    It could be worse. You could be this dude Sanders and put up with these management dorks ruining your house because they need a Christmas party.

     

    Bonus?

     

    My bonus is BOHICA

     

    Is that the Hickory Farms thing with all of those cheeses that nobody ever eats? Those things suck.

  4. When my whack-a-doo cousin was a kid he had an imaginary friend/enemy who he said was a teacher. I think it was a dead guy. This was my tied for fifth cousin so I didn't see him too much and he was a little bit of a dolt. When we'd get together he talked about this old teacher that talked to him....not at home....but at school.

     

    My uncle shipped my cousin off to England most years to go to school and he would fail out of everything. It was mostly because this dead guy was distracting him. My cousin had binders full of notes but none from the class; all from the teacher. The dude was mocking my cousin; openly sarcastic.....and in a very dark way....it was creepy....my cousin didn't get it and kept taking notes. He exposed all of my cousin's weaknesses which were many. Man some of the stuff was weird with a lot of squid pro quotes in it....like telling my cousin he had to do something before the teacher would allow him something else.

     

    There were other notes where it got even stranger. The teacher confided in my cousin about his home life. The guy's wife was a real psycho. He said she was really fat and that she would beat him to within an inch of his life.....I think one night maybe she went too far and this guy didn't realize he was dead.

     

    Reading that thread made me want to look back at my cousin's old notebook but his twin burned them years ago.

  5. Update: No real update. As usual, Beerboy has not done as instructed so there is no gas for the car. The garage is pretty air tight so it is still foggy in there. Sven is still asleep. No Jefe so far....I forgot that on December 12th he usually goes on a bender and on the 13th he is a no show. It's cool though, the mini-copter is fun.

  6. A boss I had was from England He hated their system. If you worked you had to buy your own insurance as well as the using the government system. He had an infected ingrown toenail. The doctor's office said it was a two week wait! He said he had his own insurance. They saw him the next morning.

     

    If he is an Englishman why is he even getting his skanky toenail fixed? Won't it just be back in a week?

  7. No. Keep the garage door closed and run a hose from the exhaust into the front seat. The car will warm up much faster that way.

     

    Thanks. I figured if we could get questions answered about fireplaces, why not cars?

     

    Anyway your advice created a bit of a problem. I had Sven go ahead and get the car warmed up because Jefe, my regular driver gets December 12th off every year as you know. Anyway I got sidetracked on a project and forgot I had to run an errand. Sven was warming up the car for hours and it ran out of gas. And the lazy Swede looks like he fell asleep but the security cameras are fogged up so it is hard to tell. I blared the intercom and told him to wake up and push the car to the gas station to fill it up but that dude sleeps like a log.

     

    So just go ahead and pick up a few gallons and, put them in the Bently, wake up Sven and and vacuum that fog out of my garage. I'll just use the mini-copter until Jefe gets back.

  8. it's difficult to take a personal attack seriously as an argument. you're painting with a wide brush against my argument as it's essentially the same as krugman's but i realizre that his academic credentials are marks against him in your view. let me try again. lets say bananas are 50 cents a pound at walmart. they sell one hundred pounds a day (for simplicity). walmart's labor costs amount to 5 cents of the price. after all costs, that profit is 10 cents a pound. doubling minimum wage doesn't double labor costs overall for the bananas (not all the work product of any minimum wage worker is used on this one product and not only minimum wage workers are included in the 5 cent labor cost attributed to labor). so lets say the price goes up to 52 cents per pound and the profit down to 9 cents a pound after the wage increase. if 10% more bananas are sold because more minimum wage workers can buy more of them, it's a wash. there is some wage increase point where it's no longer a wash and more than a 10% increase in sales results. now extrapolate to other consumer products.

     

    And how does Walmart induce the workers to spend their new pay increase on bananas?

  9. Jacksonville is about to stomp our schit on Sunday, just fyi.

     

    And I assume this thread is sarcasm, right?

     

    Jax may in fact beat us on Sunday but when they continue to improve they will regularly stomp Luck and his team. Jacksonville, Buffalo, Houston with Schaub gone, Oakland, and some other teams are in a position to improve while Indy will be mired in ok'ness for years. It is not just because they picked a draft bust, but because they doubled down on that bust by getting rid of Peyton Manning for him.

  10. Given your devout leftist subservience to the neo-mercantilist state, I just assumed you could properly self identify. Sorry for over estimating you. I promise it will never happen again.

     

    If you weren't such a sick of pants for your Eco prof, you would realize that what he or she espouses has a very good analogy:

     

    Your prof is to Adam Smith what Stalin was to Marx. His/her ideas, if implemented are equally dangerous, they just take a different road to the same ruinous destination.

     

    He or she may not be smart enough to realize it, but most people are. You just seem blinded by the wire rim glasses or the hip coffee or whatever. Instead of telling everyone else that they are stupid, you should do what many sick of pants do....take a picture of your prof and do what you must on Mondays, Wednesdays and twice on Saturday.

     

    I realize that the economics of this over your head, but that is ok. If this is really not a strange fascination with a teacher and just a lame attempt to justify stealing music then wow. Go get a job and buy some music.

     

    thanks. i'd think that the big employers would realize that many of the people buying their products and supporting their businesses are the same folks making minimum wage and slightly more. they need those customers buying power, a point in krugman's article that nearly everyone else here seems to have missed.

     

    Let's pay them extra so they can buy our stuff with the money we just paid them.

     

    1. Higher Expenses

    2. Same prices

    3. ??????????????

    4. Profit!!!!!!!!!!
