Isn't it a case of simple supply & demand? Regardless of what limits the supply side, be it raw materials or pruduction capability, if the ability to produce a product at a given price level doesn't meet demand for it at that price, prices will rise. Since I can only assume that creating more capacity in refinering capability is a costly endeavor, and we won't create this capacity until it's economically justified, this situation will likely continue until something changes.

Hey, looks like she's pretty tubby. When she shakes, the car moves too.

RAT FARTS!

Well, after reading most of your response all I can say is "wow". What occurred to me is that you just wrote in excess of 2500 words in less than 2 hours (Probably substantially less. I'm just basing that on the time stamps of our posts.) for a 'hobby'. Back in school that was like a 2 week assignment! Please don't get me wrong, I enjoy your posts so keep it up. But... that's a lot.

I said Dee, not Pee but now that you mention it...

I was thinking last night that we might have some reason for concern about the fact that we have more major contributors on Dee more likely to decline than we have that are likely to improve. Granted, I don't think we'll totally fall apart, but sometimes for individual players, that decline is pretty quick and sharp. Of our starters, I think we have 3 players who would be more prone to improve based on age & playing experience (Kelsay, Edwards, & McGee). I'd categorize Schobel in his prime. Then we have Adams, 3 LBs, & 2 S all on the wrong side of 30 & w/ significant playing time under their belt. Considering this and the fact that they set the bar so high last year, I think we're more likely to see a decline (but hopefully not much) than an improvement. On the plus side, they'll have another year of the system under their belt (TV might do better w/ more experience at his new pos) & are returning largely unchanged personnel wise.

Well, for Sharpe a 'physical mistake' is when a QB has a receiver wide open & doesn't throw it to him opting to scramble instead.

Quoted from Jeff Burris' recollection of playing at Lambeau field. (Also the game of L Johnson's most (in)famous play).

I think good mechanics for a QB is somewhat analogous to good mechanics in a golf swing. Any halfway decent hack can hit the occasional good/great golf shot. Someone very athletic can become competent hitting the ball w/ poor mechanics. But occassionally, those poor mechanics will result in terrible shots, whereas solid mechanics will not as easily result in such a total failure. If you take a QB w/ 'poor footwork'. Typically, I'll bet they still exibit proper technique probably 50% or more of the time (often when not pressured). Because these guys are so athletically gifted (& trained through many repetitions), even using poor technique, probably 80-90% of the time, the results will be fine. The issue is w/ those perhaps 5-10% of the throws where something is wrong.

Now if he was Ronnie Lott

I think it's to simulate a game situation, working on the internal clock. They're down at the 5. He's basically got 2 or 3 seconds to get the prescribed play off. When that fails, the progression should be 1 of 2 things. 1) Roll out of the pocket, effectively 'breaking down' the play allowing receivers time to break free or if that fails, run it himself. or 2) Stay where you are in the pocket and PAT PAT PAT

I think that Stamer guess/prediction might be it. Personally, what I'd like to see (not that I think it's likely) is Baker to take over FS, then have TV move back to CB so that McGee can go back to 3rd CB & concentrate on KOR.

Did he ever even manage to play for 3 complete consecutive games? I say that in all seriousness. It wouldn't surprise me is he didn't.

Well, my opinion is that given that he's inviting you to the event, particularly to be in it, I'd expect him to offer to pay your way, including your date/wife. I feel that having such an extravant and costly event (due primarily to the location), it would be the reasonable thing to do for the wedding party. Asking someone to pony up >$1k to be in a wedding is too much. The fact that he didn't offer, or at least didn't make it clear who would be paying, I don't think it's unreasonable to decline, citing your reasoning. I'm by no means Miss Manners, but I guess the difficult thing about manners is behaving well when others don't & put you in an akward position.

Hey, I imagine pool chlorine is murder on a fine, $1000 worsted(sp?) wool suit. Priorities.

I would've thought it was more of a MM move rather than TD's decision. Overall, from a moral/psychi standpoint, I think it worked out. From an empirical measurement, our offense was substandard w/ or w/o Shaw, so no matter.

Similar to Knightrider, primary vehicle is 2000 2.7T 6 spd, Audi A6. Black. 'Fun' car, is a '68 Charger, 440 auto. RR1 (metallic burgundy). WAY too many modifications/changes to list. Performance is basically stock, but it's highly 'restified'.

I think you're thinking of another TE that used to do his nails. Shelton Jackson or something similar, IIRC.

I remember the play, but not vividly. Is it possible that he 1st faked Robinson out of his shorts THEN barely got past Schobel in reaching the endzone?

What, no one made any comments about those both being fictional concepts?

Yeah, but not in & around Albany, NY. No 7-11s, just Stewart's.

I'm sorry & didn't mean anything personal. I was basically taking the opportunity to say something funny. (To some extent, at your expense). As the question was worded, I gave a correct response (I couldn't answer the question w/o looking it up in a stats book); just not the response you were looking for. Ergo, the 2nd Cliff Claven reference.
