  1. Looks like someone Steely would put in the hot chicks thread. Ok, it's done no more need for it!! Eyyyyyuuuuucccckkkkk! Make mine 20ft. She is not someone worth going to jail for!! BTW, why do these guys attack the man. It's the woman that's betrayed them.
  2. You should have used this emoticon. Idiot!!
  3. I'd like it if they ditched the orange and put in something better, just sayin.
  4. I believe they don't need a large port to sail from. I would think personal ports may suffice.
  5. Send all thank you cards to Marshawn at One Bills Drive Buffalo, New York. I missed the 45 passes thing.
  6. Thanks. Now we need somebody with (scientific, cough, cough) experience to let us know how much blow it takes to glow from the snow. Whoah, I's a funny poet!
  7. ? Here's more on the subject; Contemporary scientific and medical opinions rejects the idea of spontaneous combustion, dismissing the many instances of inexplicable deaths by burning as simply "puzzling" or "unsolved". Although a number of theories ha been proposed, there is no sound physiological model that can explain how a human body could possibly self-ignite or how it could burn fiercely enough to be reduced to ashes. Such combustion of human tissue and bone is only possible at the extreme temperatures(over 3000 Fahrenheit) provided by a pressurized crematorium. And of course, when it comes to explaining unscorched clothing, or a fully fleshed limb associated with the ashy or charred remains, the inexplicable becomes the bizarre
  8. I think Henry was more hands on in his deal than JL was. I'd forgotten about JL's drug funding. Henry also has to pay $4 million samolians!! What a jackass.
  9. It's a really sad tale. Under a plea deal filed with the court Tuesday, the 30-year-old Henry will admit to conspiracy to possess at least 11 pounds of cocaine with intent to distribute the drug. If U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull accepts the plea, Henry faces a mandatory minimum 10 years to life in prison, $4 million fine and at least five years of supervised release. The guy has gone from a pro-bowler who, if he had kept his nose clean (no pun intended), might have had a HOF career and he could have been making more money than he would've gotten by this coke deal. His story should be taught at the rookie symposium every year. What a pathetic fall from grace. People criticized Buffalo for taking another RB in round one when they had TH but, I think the FO saw the writing on the wall. JMO Billings is the largest city in Montana with a population of just under 100,000. Someone who's better at math might be able to tell me how much 11 pounds distributes to 100,000 men, women and children.
  10. Tim, I've heard conflicting reports about Lynch's meeting with the Commissioner. Was he called in or did he ask for it? Did he ask for it because he knew he was going to be called in anyway?
  11. What he said. Teams don't want to pay for an old guy who is only a goal line help. The Bills desperation move would only be as KTFBD has pointed out above. JMO
  12. On the contrary I think they have probably given him cold shoulders after such a thing.
  13. I had a feeling that was it. It was a joke that must have been hurtful because it was true and it pushed a button. I had no way of knowing that and if it was hurtful I'm sorry. I do not recall you saying anything about it because I don't believe it was something you wanted to discuss on the board and still probably don't. You could have PM'd me and gotten an apology. It was not something I knew about. If I did I certainly wouldn't have joked about it at all. However, one accidental strike doesn't warrant, IMO, the slew of crap you've slung at me. Cincy, my being"worked up" is pitifully slight to the "worked up" you have been and that you are. 'Nuff said.
  14. BS, you've been after me for a long time. Your serious personal attacks prove that. That's why I'd like confirmation from Lori. You may be right and if you are I'll change my ways but don't try to tell me you're not after me when you call me odious for trying to encourage those who are facing horrible medical problems. I have no idea why you hate me as much as you do but it's obvious you do. So save the BS about not being after me because you have been for a long time. Is looking? How many years have you been using a mirror?
  15. I don't understand why they don't sign him. I'm starting to think the problem is over guaranteed monies. I hope so. If Detroit chooses Stafford it's probably going to blow up in their face ala Alex Smith with the 49ers.
  16. General studies? He wants to join the army?
  17. Well after the draft he'll be pissed off. Who is Ian Greengross? By Liz Mullen, Staff Writer, SportsBusiness Journal Addai Fires Ian Greengross As Agent Colts RB JOSEPH ADDAI has fired Marquee Sports Management principal IAN GREENGROSS, who has served as Addai’s agent since he was selected No. 30 overall in the '06 NFL Draft. Rumors that Addai would switch agents have been circulating since the Pro Bowl and were first reported on Web site profootballtalk.com, but Addai sent Greengross a termination letter within the last two weeks
  18. And that is written where as a rule, where and why are you the only one to call me on it in all the years I've been here?
  19. I believe Lori said that snippets are ok as long as the full article is linked. So Cincy check with her. If it's ok then you're just taking another swipe at me because you have some sort of unexplained hatred for me. I don't see why you need to keep making these personal attacks. Aren't they against the rules? Notice I don't respond to you in the ridiculous way you attack me? Perhaps you need to think about who is taking the high road and who is taking the low road.
  20. I don't know mead but it's theorized that alcoholics or those who are drunk are prime victims.
  21. Please read snippets of articles before voting!! Thanks! An article explaining that it's a bunch of hooey and how some believe it actually occurs with a rational explanation. Snippet of article; Ignition and wick-effect burning. Cases of claimed SHC are rare which suggests that the conditions necessary for wick-effect burning to occur are also rare. The most obvious requirement for a body to be set alight is that the person would have to be dead or greatly incapacitated; a heart attack, stroke, or severe inebriation being obvious candidates. Cigarettes, or other tobacco and related products, are often cited as the initial cause of ignition. The problem with this is that cigarette ends, although very hot, do not set light to flesh; they can burn through skin but are extinguished in the process. Cigarettes, however, do readily set light to inflammable clothing and furniture. Whether cigarettes or some other source of ignition, the source is external. The vast majority of fires that begin this way will spread and become a normal house fire. For a case to be described as SHC, the fire has to stay localised to the body. This is where the wick-effect comes into play. If body fat starts to melt and is absorbed by some clothing or sinks into the chair's stuffing, the wick-effect takes over. This means that instead of large flames being produced which could spread the fire, localised burning takes place with small, hot flames which are fuelled as more fat melts as the body burns. As long as the body is not too close to surrounding objects, the burning will not spread easily. Even newspapers, which burn readily if a flame is applied, require very high temperatures before they will combust spontaneously. Lastly, as the body fat is used up the flames start to die away. The item that the body is sitting in or lying on is prevented from burning further by the insulating soot and ash that was produced in the fire. Summary of requirements: * A dead or incapacitated individual; * a source of ignition; * inflammable clothing or furniture; * body fat melting; * a potential wick such as clothing or furniture stuffing; * enough isolation from surrounding objects to prevent direct ignition of them; * the production of insulating soot and ash to prevent the fire burning further once the fat has burned off. For a burning case to look like SHC, all of the above conditions need to be satisfied. This is probably what makes these cases so rare. Conclusion. Spontaneous Human Combustion as a phenomenon itself does not exist. It is most likely used as an explanation for deaths involving burning which occur under very unusual circumstances. Although it may seem impossible for a body to burn in a chair and leave most of the surrounding area untouched, the deaths can be explained without the need for fantastical theories. ____________________________________________________________ An article that argues the case for spontaneous human combustion as a natural occurrence. In December 1966, the body of 92-year-old Dr. J. Irvin­g Bentley was discovered in his Pennsylvania home by a meter reader. Actually, only part of Dr. Bentley's leg and slippered foot were found. The rest of his body had been burned to ashes. A hole in the bathroom floor was the only evidence of the fire that had killed him; the rest of the house remained perfectly intact. ­How could a man catch fire -- with no apparent source of a spark or flame -- and then burn so completely without igniting anything around him? Dr. Bentley's case and several hundred others like it have been labeled "spontaneous human combustion" (SHC). Although he and other victims of the phenomenon burned almost completely, their surroundings, and even sometimes their clothes, remained virtually untouched In 1938, a 22-year-old woman named Phyllis Newcombe was leaving a dance at the Shire Hall in Chelmsford, England. As she descended the staircase of the hall, her dress suddenly caught fire with no apparent cause. She ran back into the ballroom, where she collapsed. Several people rushed to her aid, but she later died in the hospital. Although the theory was that Newcombe's dress had been ignited by a cigarette or a lit match thrown from the stairwell, no evidence of either was ever found. Coroner L.F. Beccles commented on the incident, "From all my experience I have never come across a case so very mysterious as this." In 1951, a 67-year-old widow named Mary Reeser was at home in St. Petersburg, Florida. On the morning of July 2, a neighbor discovered that Mary's front door was hot. When she broke into the apartment with the help of two workmen, they found Mary in an easy chair with a black circle around her. Her head had been burned down to the size of a teacup. The only other parts of her that remained were part of her backbone and part of her left foot. Other than Mary's charred remains, there was very little evidence of fire in her apartment. A forensic pathologist, Dr. Wilton Krogman, said of the incident, "[it's] the most amazing thing I have ever seen. As I review it, the short hairs on my neck bristle with vague fear. Were I living in the Middle Ages I'd mutter something about black magic." But the police report cited a far less supernatural explanation for the cause of death: a dropped cigarette, which ignited Mrs. Reeser's highly flammable rayon-acetate nightgown. In 1982, a mentally handicapped woman named Jean Lucille "Jeannie" Saffin was sitting with her 82-year-old father at their home in Edmonton, in northern London. According to her father, a flash of light caught his eye. When he turned to his daughter, he saw that her upper body was enveloped in flames. Mr. Saffin and his son-in-law, Donald Carroll, managed to put out the blaze, but Jeannie died of her third-degree burns about a week after entering the hospital. According to Carroll, "the flames were coming from her mouth like a dragon and they were making a roaring noise." There was no smoke or fire damage in the room. Some have wondered if an ember from her father's pipe ignited Jeannie's clothing. In most cases a source of fire is the likely explanation but some are unexplained. Is this like UFO sightings where the vast majority are hooey and it's a real thing that's extremely rare?
  22. If it's mead then all is forgiven.
  23. It would help to know what the argument was about. In order to keep this thread from becoming a heated argument of it's own just generalize; politics, religion, brand of reliable cars, his wife is uglier than a platypus after being road kill and hard rain etc. etc. Main Entry: hand·writ·ing Listen to the pronunciation of handwriting Pronunciation: \ˈhand-ˌrī-tiŋ\ Function: noun Date: 15th century 1: the ancient art of writing done by one's hand ; especially : the dated form of writing that was peculiar to a particular person2: something written by hand before the advent of computers.

  24. I clicked and got an exclusive content message. I don't want to fill out the ing boxes.
