Florida? Wow! What are the f*&%ing odds?

And yet another answer to the question, "Why are manhole covers round?"

You got that right.

"Ninety-seven thousand Little Pieces." /Oprah does not want

"What are ewe looking at ?" /Ace & Gary

Oh c'mon! How can you ask someone to pick their favorite "Sunny" episode? It's like asking a father which one of their children is their favorite, or which one of your girlfriends gave me the best h*mmer. Not fair. But if I had to, "Sweet Dee is Dating a Retarded Person". And now I feel bad for "Dennis and Dee go on Welfare". Jeeze, this is like Sophie's Choice. And like the episodes, I can't pick just one line. However, the one this post season that literally made my roar with laughter was from Artemis: "I have a bleached, a*^hole." This show is sick, and I love it.

Sorry to hear that Tom. Tough break so soon but as you said before, "Rub some dirt on it, and take a lap." Best of luck.

At least you showed up, unlike Whitlock's Heisman. 5 TOs? WTF? Anyway, Deadspin had a nice diagram of UB's offense. It works.

Wait. Read that last sentence again. Wow. Two years ago the UB Bulls told West Virginia that the price to come to their stadium was $600k. This was 3x what a football factory would normally pay a small school to come and be their doormat. Why so high? Demand baby! UB was the most requested doormat, so they could charge a king's ransom. Now look at them. You want the Bulls in your stadium now? Huh?!? They just knocked off the #12 team in the country! Wow!

When I was a prop trader, QCOM was going crazy. I remember my friend shorted it just before earnings and lost 6 points on it, covering at $241. He still says that was one of his best trades ever. Anyway, one guy in the office was shorting that thing (and losing) all the way up. He finally said to the guy who placed his orders, "Cover it man. I'm all done with that stock." Upon hearing this, one of the old salts that rented space there, turned on his heel, walked back to his office and made a trade. He shorted only a few hundred shares and made about 70 points the next day. The only reason I knew he did it was because (for some reason) I was given administrative access to everyone's blotter. He didn't gloat. I went and asked him about it a week later and he said that it was a pure gamble, but he figured that when the other guy finally covered around $670 it was a nice example of capitulation. I checked my shelf and I have one two O'Neil books, but neither describes the "buy the good stocks/employ a trailing stop" strategy. I'm sure it's in one of those free books you get with an IBD subscription. I just read a section on identifying market bottoms.

I miss Jimmy Baron. Imagine Jim Jr. hoisting 3s for the Bonnies. Imagine if Mike Gansey could have had 4 years at the RC. Now we're losing to Canisius? Canisius!?! WTF?

Remember when St. Bonas destroyed UConn?

"The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." But then, we all know that. Here's an excellent paper I read today. Just buy stocks making new highs and employ a trailing stop. Simple, no?

It really can't be a Christmas song unless it involves gambling, drinking & calling your girlfriend a s!^t.

Just last week... (Lights) Our eyes met across the crowded hat store. I, a customer, and she a coquettish haberdasher. Oh, I pursued and she withdrew, then she pursued and I withdrew, and so we danced. I burned for her, much like the burning during urination that I would experience soon afterwards... Wait, wrong thread.

That's exactly what he said: When I was in little league, my coach said to crowd the plate a little and if I got hit so what? It might hurt a little, but you'll get to first base. The thing is "don't be afraid to get hit". This advice has served me well through the years. It works just as well with women as it did when facing the 12-year old that threw fireballs. Except with women, sometimes I ended up circling the bases. So there you go.

He's only 38? Wow! He anchored the Nightly News the other night, and it didn't go well. The next night they had some woman do it and she was markedly better. Anyway, good for him. Sunday morning is my reading time, so this really doesn't impact me other than to make feel old.

I was lucky as a young man. I worked as a caddy and one of the members took a liking to me and gave me some very sage advice. I won the caddy tournament and that really set me up with a few minutes in heaven with the Irish girl that worked the hot-dog stand. Later, I was really given a schooling by the club president's niece. She was a bit older, but wow(!) she was put together. Yeah, that was quite a summer. /Noonan'd

Charissa Thompson?

Here's some good news: Today's sideline reporter, Charissa Thompson! Of course, she'll probably be dressed like this.

(Sigh) Really? Didn't read the whole thread huh, /dev? Wow.

My funny what? This link explains about the status bar and the URL. It also explains how to hide it when developing your own sites. You know how I found it?

About 35 years ago, a few adults decided that it would be best if I wasn't a burden to society and taught me to read.

Please. Who is going to click on that when you can plainly read the URL in the status bar? This isn't my first rodeo. If you want to post something titillating, you need something like this.

It's a "Made you look!" gag like our TSW favorite Pixieland guy. From Wikipedia: Like many things, it's not funny unless you're in on the joke. BTW, what's that on your tie?
