Crap Throwing Monkey

Ooooh...now you're going to be on double-secret probation...

What the !@#$? You've really got to get together with KurtGodel77 and talk eugenics.

Like Fez said, save tax records for 7 years. You're screwed.

Not the least of which because, if you have to brag about being in Mensa, you probably don't belong there to begin with.

Depends on the profession, really...

17 Muslims were arrested in Pakistan today? Wow...I bet that almost never happens...

And if the kid wasn't a cancer survivor but just a weak batter, we never would have heard about it. The real issue isn't the intentional walk, the real issue is "The poor kid has cancer!", which has nothing to do with baseball.

If Holcomb shreds the Panthers, it'll still be the !@#$ing preseason!!!!

The aforementioned Misty is, however, a cosmetologist. I believe "Misty the cosmetelogist" is, in fact, code for "lesbian". Or "amateur porn star". Or both.

Oooooh...watch out Ken, he's not taking action.

But they had pro-bowlers on their roster their Superbowl season. And we don't have any pro-bowlers on the roster this season. So we suck. This IS a seven-page thread arguing the definition of "season", right?

I intentionally walk the star hitter so I can face the kid who can barely swing. But then, if I'm the other coach, I pinch-hit for the kid who can barely swing. And that is how nine year olds learn that life is, in fact, unfair, and there's no inalienable right to have your self-esteem boosted by others. That's how I learned it...by having pitchers walk the guy ahead of me to get to the kid who could barely swing. And anyway...the kid survived cancer! Being pitched at to get the final out in a little league game hardly qualifies as hardship.

Do you thrive on looking like an idiot, or are you just obtuse? Christ, man...shut up already!

Rainy. Of course, his dog slobbers a lot... Ba-dum bum. >>rimshot<<

"Serotonergic".

It sounds like PEBCAK. Or maybe an ID-10-T problem.

Yeah. When you see the rocket, wait for the friggin' cartoon to start, dumbass.

Ah, yes...the first week of August. Time to start my annual ritual: It's PRESEASON, people! Who cares if Holcomb's starting?

Do a search of the news reports back around July 12nd. I found it on al Jazeera...which some might consider unreliable, but they generally have better journalistic integrity than to just completely make sh-- up (which puts them one up on Dan Rather, at least). Interesting thing about it though...I haven't seen it in any sort of context anywhere. On its own, the quote looks pretty bad (and in any context I can imagine, it's not good). But it doesn't necessarily mean collective retribution...it could simply mean "We'll set Lebanon's recovery from their civil war back to how their infrastructure was in the mid-80s", or "We'll destabilize the country back to what it was in the '80s, if the existing government can't control it." Both of which are a far cry from "We'll bomb them back to the stone age", as it's not infrequently interpreted. It's also a stupid policy. Lebanon's very anti-Syrian (or was a month ago, who knows now?) and was heading towards a measure of stability. A stable neighbor on its northern border is good for Israel. Instead, Israel's destabilizing the country and probably pushing it closer to Syria, both of which will make it easier for Hizb'Allah and other groups to operate there. Fortunately, it's a safe bet that Lt. Gen. Halutz doesn't make that policy...unfortunately, it seems that someone who does listened to him.

You think I feel all that good about it?

Usually, the statement "bomb them back to the stone age" indicates the desire to inflict collective punishment on an entire state. But "Bomb them back to the '80's"? I'd just like to state, for the record, that I am not getting a Flock of Seagulls haircut again...

Special Forces. Lots and lots of them. It's worked for the Brits. (Of course, if the Israelis deployed Special Forces in an undeclared war in southern Lebanon to combat Hizb'Allah without blowing up all of Lebanon, people would not only B word about "Israeli aggression" as they are now, they'd B word about the "criminal" use of "death squads" in "hunting down" "civilians". )

Go count your !@#$ing tupperware.

Could be worse, though. The official Roscoe P. Coe Train 07 player ratings have all of them at zero...
