  1. Jefferson's Reserve is what I keep in my desk drawer for those days when we're doing a "final" project demo and our boss utters the dreaded words "You know what would be really badass...." And neat. Very, very neat.
  2. Yep. There's even a tall peasant/short peasant love/hate bromance comic relief duo. Lucas is a total hack, but at least he stole from the best. Btw, the scene in THF with an angry Toshiro Mifune, with his katana in hasso-gamae, chasing down some poor SOB on horseback at full gallop, is one of my all-time favorite moments in cinema.

  4. I agree with you that reducing practice time to the extent required by the last CBA has been counterproductive both to the safety of the players and to the quality of the product on the field. I disagree that if a better approach to teaching technique is found it shouldn't be taught (coached). The game evolves. I don't care about kill shots. I care about stopping the other team's offense, and winning.
  5. In a New York minute. As long as I'm holding a loaded arbolest.
  6. I am sorely tempted.
  7. At this point, realistically, all I'm hoping for is a little bit of lube. Is that so much to ask for?

  9. Red dots, yellow crescents; add a few more colors and shapes and you could have a rousing game of Qwirkle.
  10. Was he chain-smoking cigarettes, by any chance?
  11. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/182575-patriots-cheating-at-coin-flips/?do=findComment&comment=3754960 .0053 is (approx) the probability of winning exactly 19 out of 25 flips. .0073 is (approx) the probability of winning at least 19 out of 25 flips. (i.e. 19 or 20 or ... or 25) Either way it stinks.
  12. Technically, those are the odds of winning at least 19 out of 25 flips with a fair coin. But yeah. They probably **** gold bricks, too.
  13. One night with you and they go full Lesbo?
  14. I love how Reed, Carrington & Enemkapali are like "WTF was that?"

  16. "Tonight we're going to do the thing with the Icy Hot again... I promise!"
  17. Oh, yeah, they definitely &#33;@#&#036;ed his **** up.

  19. "...come to me and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." --Matthew 19:14
