I found that pretty funny///

One thing that kind of sucks about the WC in the US is that there is pretty lackluster coverage. I ended up watching Argentina-Ivory Coast on DTV channel 402, with the commentary in spanish. Looked like Argentina got screwed out of a goal in the first half...

Jim Kelly is GOD...

Don't complain. My lawn is dead as a doornail, it hasn't really rained in nearly a month...

I am totally Shocked. I had no idea, I have been away from home with no internet for the last week and a half. I remember when his wife passed how upset he was. How very sad. RIP Bib...

PMed you...

Sorry to hear that...

Whew...after that 1st period I needed a little cheering up. Good job guys!

AOL is #1. What a horrible, horrible product. My dad uses it, and can't figure out why his computer keeps locking up...

Cungratulashuns on yer permosion! Ceep up the goood werk!

It's all relative. I studied my fuggin @zzhole off in school to get my degrees. My buddies all partied and blew off class. They were business majors. They all make much more than I do at this point. Difference is, I can get a job pretty much anywhere. Guys in thier position are lucky to have jobs, can be downsized at anytime, and have saturated the market...

Most people walk out of there loaded. The only problem is, that while profits are usually good at the company, one successfull lawsuit can fluccuate you out of tens of thousands...

You of course realize that DC TOM is the resident spelling police on this board, yes?

You lucky bastage! The only bad thing is that Nissan Pavilion does blow, almost as bad as Virginia Beach Ampitheater...

Interesting point. At my company, engineers are priced and valued twice what a chemist is...

A guy I worked with at PMUSA just retired. He had 100% of his 401k in stock. 100% One judgement against us, and he would have been wiped out at 65 years old...

I'll be watching the Sabres tonight. Claudio sitting this one out with that hammy???

Pretty lame actually. What do you expect from Raleigh, the Charlotte wannabe??? Although I would HATE to be that guy if he is seen by a bunch of Sabres fans Friday night...

This happens all the time. Sportswriters are trying to stir up people's emotions and you guys are swallowing the whole load...

Everytime I went to training camp at home, he would never practice. He would always just ride around on a golf cart and never sign autographs. But I vote Reed, cause he is a prick....

Hook, line, and sinker. You will be watching season 3 like the rest of us.

Figures Desmond would be on the boat. Why does that woman Elisabeth look familiar? Desmond's last name is Hume, looks like we have another philosopher...

http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/200...ce-scores_x.htm This study suggests improvement in the overall test scores for grade school age kids. But is it because the bar is being lowered or elevated? Anyone here know anything about these so called tests that can weigh in? IMO, science will never be elevated in the minds of people in this county until kids that are good in math and science are not labeled as "nerds" and as long as we place more value in athletics...

They normally use whatever county they are in's spelling and pronunciation. In france we were Etas Unis, England was Engleterre, etc...

Well, I didn't actually get to go to a live match. My two friends went to the England vs. Tunisia match in Marseille when the riot broke out. They were nearly killed. But even though I didn't get to go to any matches (horribly expensive), there were several very large screens set up all over Paris. Big screens, like an IMAX size in strategic places like the courtyard in Notre Dame, and near the Tower. Thousands of people would gather around these things during the day, businessmen, police, kids...anyone you would see on a given day on that street. Imagine having thousands of Bills fans watching our team win the Super Bowl on a huge outdoor IMAX screen... in Buffalo. It was very much like that. One of my best memories from that trip was sitting on the "lawn" of this one area in front of the screen at the Eiffel Tower made up to look like a football field smoking a fat euro cone. Ahh, the carefree days of youth...
