Face on you buddy boy
I replied to a poster who claimed that it was Freddie who fumbled right before the half by giving a link showing that it was CJ. You agree with that. How is that face on me?
-
Yes but... I would hide all the sharp objects first.
-
LOLTJax played against Jacksonville. Its considered an OK day getting a perfect rating
-
Mousey yeah.....as in something the cat dragged in...I know, mousey right?
-
Wrong.It was Freddy..
With just 1 minute, 19 seconds remaining in the first half and his defense backed up against its own goal line -- once again protecting a short field after a turnover by the New England Patriots' offense -- linebacker Brandon Spikes met Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller in the hole, forcing a fumble and keeping his team within a one-touchdown striking distance after an underwhelming first half.
-
Eww. Nope.

Wish they word mic up Hackett so we can hear that dumpster fire in action. I bet it would sound like OK dive play to cj up the middle twice then check down to Freddie over the middle way short of the marker OK EJ go and do it really quick so our gased defense can get right back out there
If Hackett doesn't shape up soon, I foresee a Buddy Ryan-to-Kevin Gilbride style punch in his future from Mike Pettine....

Uhhh... except for the fact that we ran a ton of different plays to Thurman Thomas out of the 'Gun; e.g. draws, off-tackle runs, direct snaps, screens, catches out of the backfield, etc. etc. I think this is what the previous poster was getting at. Just because the formation is the same doesn't mean the play-calling has to be totally predictable.What you've just described is, word for word, the exact description of both the K-gun offense that Jim Kelly ran here and the offense that Peyton Manning has been running in Indy and Denver for the last 12 years.

Just to add some perspective, the people in this video/slide show thing (not drug dealers BTW) feel that being eaten by birds and put back into the flow of the world that way, is a beautiful and natural thing (I used to have some Tibetan friends who explained this to me).
I don't care about what happens to my or anyone else's body after they are dead as long as it is disposed of in some way where no one is catching a disease or digging it up by accident. Dead people are gone, no one home..... I am not religious and have concerns about how my remains are treated or not.
I have a good friend who started a NPO in Kham (region in eastern Tibet), and has authored several books about her experiences in Tibet and China. She was invited to attend a couple of bya gtor (alms for the birds) sky-burials. That is the traditional way of disposing of bodies according to local custom, although it's less prevalent now than formerly. It's perfectly legal there (unless the Chinese have cracked down recently).that is some seriously freaky s%#t. And I can't believe it would be legal in any way, shape, form.
For the record, I am largely in agreement with Bowery's take on this topic. (Although I think his last sentence may be missing a "no" before "concerns" ...right?)

Who really thinks Jon would pull the trigger on leaving the dead creep in a cornfield for buzzards to take?
Holy crap. Apparently the font size made the comma in my original comment seem to disappear or something, because for want of it, the fundamental intent of my statement seems to have been lost (or what is worse, reversed!) I feel like friggin' Richard III here (which is not a pleasant sensation for those keeping track.)

Fear not, mighty Cuisinier. I'm sure another installment of "DC Tom Theatre " will be coming out soon for your amusement.Booooorrrrrring.

"I'd cremate his body and let the ashes fertilize some flowers rather than leave him in a cornfield, because I wouldn't want any kids to stumble across his decomposing corpse."
You said that.
It's disturbing enough that a person in a civilized world has beliefs such as those. What's more disturbing is that you're a parent (at least your words would indicate that).
How does your attitude toward your fellow man make you any better than the person about whom you're speaking? Guess what ... it doesn't. It puts you on a level playing field.
OK, I'm going to assume that either you have horribly mis-read what I wrote, or else that you are dangerously insane. Let me rephrase the above to remove any possible ambiguity:
I wouldnotleave Ariel Castro's corpse to rot in a cornfield, because to do so would leave open the possibility that a child or other sensitive individual might stumble across it and be traumatized. Therefore, as an alternative, I would cremate him, and scatter his ashes.If you still have a problem with that, well...you have a lot of problems.
First, you're disgusting. Tom & I have at least a limited history of intelligent conversations. Second, hate to break it to you, but "Yikes" is not really super-profound commentary. Even when preceded by the super-awesome adjective "Seriously." Third, if your drivel is not contingent on your gross mis-reading of my first post, then... you have more serious problems than I thought.So when you're done e-blowing Tom and when you're done proving to anyone unlucky enough to read your drivel that you have absolutely no idea what humanity is ... well then, perhaps, you can come up with something other than, "whatever," or "I don't care what you think."
-
Well my first inclination was to merely reply "That's ridiculous", but then I thought "Well, DC Tom has at times demonstrated some knowledge in various fields, so perhaps it's worth carefully considering his point." So I did. My response after a night of sleep and introspection is that on this topic, we should probably agree to disagree. Our world-views on this point are simply not aligned, and are not going to be made closer by a bunch of pointless bickering. Our definitions of 'humanity' likely have very different weightings for certain actions. I will say this: I am not at all frightened at (or by) my attitude. I strive to treat people well, and they (mostly) respond in kind. Have a good day.You should be truly frightened at your attitude.
Little note to all our readers: when DC Tom is showing more humility than you are, you seriously need to take a step back and reevaluate your world-view.
Whatever.Seriously. Yikes.

How we treat the dead is one of the things that separate us from serial killers who leave their victims in cornfields for the buzzards.
Perhaps. But the much more important distinction would be -- NOT FRIGGIN' MURDERING INNOCENT PEOPLE!
That sends a bigger message about you than it does him.
Well, duh. The message being "Jon cares about a whole lot of other things much, much more than the method of disposal of the corpse of a disgusting abusive POS who tortured innocent people for a decade." If you, or anyone, thinks the lesser of me for that, well frankly I'm fine with it.
I couldn't care less about him. I'd bury him for the sake of my own humanity, not his.
I'd cremate his body and let the ashes fertilize some flowers rather than leave him in a cornfield, because I wouldn't want any kids to stumble across his decomposing corpse. Not because I give two figs about what it says or doesn't say about my "humanity."
-
When do we decide? Who decides?
Well, kidnapping, rape and (depending on when you believe human life begins) murder, are some pretty good clues.
-
Not saying hold a ceremony for him...but a simple pine box in potter's field is fine with me. How we treat the dead is one of the things that separate us from serial killers who leave their victims in cornfields for the buzzards.
Dead humans -- yes.
Dead monsters -- not so much.

You're only off by a factor of a hundred.
Maybe explains how this happens?

No problem, he can just pop over to the nearest head shop.

This is one of the reasons I'm really pulling for a zombie apocalypse. I would LOVE, I mean LOVE to see the Kardashians, Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, the cast of the Jersey Shore, Paris Hilton and pretty much every reality "star" ever being viciously devoured by a pack of blood crazed, brain eating zombies.
If that lineup is the only thing on the menu, your brain-eating zombies will die of starvation pretty quickly.
If her daddy didn't have the most annoying song of 1992, her mug would have stopped her "career" dead in its tracks...years ago.
Def a butterface.
many are bashing her choice but this has been her best year yet in terms of music sales, youtube views, etc.... i believe
while i dont think they executed what they were going for that well, what they were going for is common place and does work. even in their underwhelming execution they are seeing a spike.
Yes, with a net worth in excess of $150M, it's hard to find too much fault with Miley's career choices (from a purely financial perspective.)

I've always found this one to be haunting. But not in a "pretty" way.
-
I assumed with the amount of kidding cannibalism that happens on OBD this time of year, that TBD would allow eat some of their own
Fixed.

!@#$ with the bull, you get the horns.

When the Egyptian military is more liberal than you are, you know you have a problem.
