I'm visiting Austin for the first time in a couple of years. I might stay a spell. Kick my shoes off. Any Austinites out there these days?
-
Fav: Sweet corn (I remember my family going out to the farms around Alden and getting these babies FRESH)
Least: Brussels Sprouts (nasty rotten little cabbages)
I don't think corn is a vegetable. I think it's a grain, like wheat.

It's nice to be back in Austin. Just beautiful this time of year. But I must remember not to tell knock-knock jokes to homeless people. It's inappropriate.

Wind farms kill migrating birds.
Wind Farms don't kill birds...winds do.

How do I apply for a job working on a death panel?

Is there any way to delay a Writ of Execution because of a pending appeal on a judgement, in the State of Florida. A friend of mine says she is about to loose several of her properties because of a judgement against her for breach of contract, though she claims there never was a formal or signed contract, to go to work for her former competitor. She admits she showed up at court the first time with no representation. She now has a lawyer, her ducks in a row, and an appeal pending in court set for next month. But the sheriffs dept plans to sieze her properties and auction them off next week. She's scrambling to come up with (borrow) $151,000, or sell one property, to not loose everything. Her new attorney says there is nothing they can do at this point, shy of raising the money. Is her lawyer incompetent? Is Florida that corrupt? Or is she not telling me something. Her fear is the homes valued together at about a one million (almost all free and clear) will be auctioned off to insider friends of her adversary for next to nothing, and she might still owe on the judgement. Time is her enemy. If she wins the appeal, as her lawyer believes she will, it will be too late to save her properties. And yes, she has procrastinated on this. My Ohio judge cousin says she should be able to file a stay. That's how it works in Ohio anyway. My Texas lawyer also said there is such thing as a supersedeas bond she could put up. She seems unable to get anyone here to help her. And I am obviously not a lawyer.

I sure do see a lot of former Bills playing on other teams. So when we do draft well, they don't stick around.
I have never seen anything like it. Mike Williams instead of Bryant McKinnie. Losman, McCargo, Eric Flowers...etc. And then more recently they take Leodis McCelvin over Rogers-Cromartie (Pro Bowler) and Mike Jenkins who is becoming a star for the Cowboys. Figures the Bills have their choice of the three and pic the wrong one. Then last year, Aaron Maybin?!! LOL. I follow the draft very closely and always assume that the NFL people are there for a reason and know a whole lot more than me, but then they pull garbage like this year after year and makes me start to wonder. Maybin was the only one that was mentioned for the Bills that I knew would be a horrible pick. Leave it to the Bills to take him. No Michael Oher, who has been excellent for the Ravens and was at a position of dire need. Of course not. The draft failures in Buffalo are beyond ridiculous. Can't wait to see how they manage to screw it up this year. -

Laura Bush was bad, but Michelle beats her out by $700,000 during a recession.
Are those house servants, or field servants? Or are they just shovel ready jobs?

At least for a couple months until the Republicans try to decide who to run against the incumbant Democratic Congresscritter
Give me your number dude. I don't want you to feel lonely.

Which begs the question, with the plethora of DB'S that we have drafted over the past few years, why didn't we take him out and plug in another one?
Here is why I know that all you belly acres are wrong. If you go to a Miami game, almost everybody is wearing a Ted Ginn Jersey. Lots of them wear Dan Marino, but few wear current player's jerseys. That's why I know he might be good. Just the loss in T-shirt sales in Miami could make me smile.

Ted Ginn is a track person disguised as a football player. If football was played on an oval track field then Ginn might be a credible player. As a football receiver he is out of his element. I see chubby Bill Parcells scheming to get anything for him. Saban was a miserable failure as an executive and HC for the Dolphins. The drafting of Ted Ginn with a first round pick is a good example why he is coaching in the college ranks.
So was Bob Hayes. I like Ted. We could do worse.

Jackass speach
PRESIDENT OBAMA: "First of all, I don't think people quite understand, Nancy Pelosi is not simply the first woman Speaker of the House -- I think she's going to go down as one of the greatest Speakers of all time. And she's very nice and she's very friendly, but, boy, she is tough."
HA! I knew it! Proof positive that he is smoking crack.

I am hearing ex-Bills players and coaches names all over the league today!
Every week!

Umm. That's how insurance works. You pay more when things are going well...so that when something goes badly, there's money in the pot to cover it. (Because others are then paying more.)
The grocery industry manages to operate on about a 1 percent profit margin. I wonder what the PM is for the insurance industry. I know it's a complicated issue as to why costs have sky rocketed. But I know that in 1982, I was paying about $10 a month (for just myself) for Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance, through my employer. I barely missed it. Maybe it's like with my car. In the old days I'd take it to my mechanic. He'd look under the hood, he'd listen to the engine, and say "er ah, it's a yur fuel pump. That el be $45." Now I take it in, the mechanic hooks it up to a bunch of electrical devices which generate a computer print out. He gives the information to the customer service guy who tells me "er ah, it's a yur fuel pump. That el be $350." To say the least, I suspect there some inefficiencies going on, some redundancies, and more hands in the till.

If the Republicans want something done about medical malpractice litigation, isn't that about insurance? I mean, isn't much of this whole confugulation with health care, about insurance? As a worker guy, it boggled my mind a few years ago that I was paying nearly $500 for heath insurance for my family (my employer was supposedly matching that), and it didn't cover ****. And as a family, we typically had about $300 in real bills, on average. Why would it cost $1000 a month to cover $300? And, are the same companies that are covering health insurance, also covering doctor malpractice insurance? If that is so, aren't they getting everybody coming and going?
I know it's more complicated than that. But any good football coach knows you have to break the game down into little pieces to figure out how to win. We have terrible coaches right now.

Once again a youtube video taken waaaaay out of context. What if it was her idea?
Chef, don't blindly accept that everything the police are doing right now across this country is A.O.K. The only people policing the police, are the people with camera phones. The police have incredible authority for their "pay grade." And this has very little to do with who is in the White House.
-
I guess I only have myself to blame but now I've got at least a half a dozen terrible 70's songs in my head.
LOL. The same thing's happening here.

I met this chic at a bar last night. Every time she jumped up and down the whole band would skip.

No...they are not to "serve".... their FIRST job is to keep ORDER. And to do so, have to yes....get all "uppity" on you and establish their authority.
No, Im not condoning bad behavior by cops. Of course not. But IMO, the only "asses" are the ones who think the cops job is to be some kind of "servant" and say "pretty please" when they try to keep that order.
What, you don't watch Youtube? My question is, when are the good cops going to stop protecting the bad cops, and eradicate them from their midst? Too many of them have more in common with criminals than average citizens. How did that happen?

u can live in your own world, but your wrong... the next progressive movement is coming from liberals too, the secular movement.... get used to it. conservatives are racist
Conner?...Is that you?

Or maybe there's no evidence that it was a hate crime.
I do understand the point of a double standard with reporting . If this were a white on black crime, we would likely see it being reported more enthusiastically. On the other hand, the offenders have all been arrested, charged, and will likely get the needle. What difference does it make if the crime also included some kind of racial hatred? They're toast. That's like being on double secret probation or something. I really don't get the concept that a crime committed with hatred, which can only be surmised anyway, is somehow worse than the actual crime. Stupid Liberals. Never the less, every time I kill someone, I do it out of love.

EGYLM,
You entitled this thread LMAOF. I know LMAO but not LMAOF. What is the F?
Foolishly.

Not likely. Looks like the defacto leader of what passes for the GOP now is meeting resistence from everyone. LOL!
I just heard Sara Palin wants to buy the Bills and move them to Ankorage. I can't believe you missed this.

Dowd's take, hilarious (and also probably not far from the truth)

Wow...Maureen Dowd actually being clever and funny. Wow. And without snide snarkyness. Wow. Now I've seen it all.
