  1. Great Video!! For future reference there is a sound bar that can be pulled all the way down to mute the sound. I'd be willing to bet Rosanna Arquette changes the station on that one.
  2. "Touch me in the morning" Diana Ross A friend in high school caused an accident by listening to Journey. This is songs you can't turn off. Dimwit. :flip off:
  3. If any of those guys are stud ST guys the Bills may keep more receivers next year. JMO.
  4. Silver Streak!! That's where I developed a crush on Jill Clayburgh! :thumbsup:
  5. What does that have to do with Ricardo Montalban?
  6. How'd you make a living snagging Carp?
  7. That's flying in the face of all conventional wisdom. You're lucky you made out on those. I'll tell you right now that I have every winner this weekend. I'll divulge this secret information on Monday!
  8. January 15: General Interest 1967 : Packers face Chiefs in first Super Bowl On this day in 1967, at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the first-ever world championship game of American football. In the mid-1960s, the intense competition for players and fans between the National Football League (NFL) and the upstart American Football League (AFL) led to talks of a possible merger. It was decided that the winners of each league's championship would meet each year in a single game to determine the "world champion of football." In that historic first game--played before a non-sell-out crowd of 61,946 people--Green Bay scored three touchdowns in the second half to defeat Kansas City 35-10. Led by MVP quarterback Bart Starr, the Packers benefited from Max McGee's stellar receiving and a key interception by safety Willie Wood. For their win, each member of the Packers collected $15,000: the largest single-game share in the history of team sports. Postseason college games were known as "bowl" games, and AFL founder Lamar Hunt suggested that the new pro championship be called the "Super Bowl." The term was officially introduced in 1969, along with roman numerals to designate the individual games. In 1970, the NFL and AFL merged into one league with two conferences, each with 13 teams. Since then, the Super Bowl has been a face-off between the winners of the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC) for the NFL championship and the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for the legendary Packers coach who guided his team to victory in the first two Super Bowls. Super Bowl Sunday has become an unofficial American holiday, complete with parties, betting pools and excessive consumption of food and drink. On average, 80 to 90 million people are tuned into the game on TV at any given moment, while some 130-140 million watch at least some part of the game. The commercials shown during the game have become an attraction in themselves, with TV networks charging as much as $2.5 million for a 30-second spot and companies making more expensive, high-concept ads each year. The game itself has more than once been upstaged by its elaborate pre-game or halftime entertainment, most recently in 2004 when Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" resulted in a $225,000 fine for the TV network airing the game, CBS, and tighter controls on televised indecency. It seems to me that the whole NFC vs. AFC concept is now just an antiquated idea. When the first SB was played AFC vs. NFC was important because the former leagues wanted to prove their superiority over each other. Now in my opinion it just seems that it makes the SB boring. I think the league should just get rid of the NFC and AFC thing and just have different names for each division. Then at the end of the year the playoff field would consist of the best teams in the league and the SB should then be the best teams against each other.
  9. CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - Wildlife officials said a rhesus monkey known to throw feces when mad is on the loose in Tampa Bay. I never realized that monkey's had political aspirations.
  10. We have telescopes that can find planets we can't even see. A lot of it is in the math.
  11. And that has anything to do with this article how?
  12. According to Mrs. Beerball "Not a lot"
  13. Maybe there are some invisible cows farting on Mars!!
  14. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human. R.I.P. Mr. Rourke hope your fantasies are coming true now! Mr. Rourke: Tatoo what are your favorite M&M's? Tatoo: De Plain!! De Plain!!
  15. It would be I think he's too tall. He's 5'10".
  16. The only way the joker could come back IMO is if they somehow explain somebody taking over his villainy. Some sort of Arkham Asylum product of the jokers mentoring before he dies. That's weak but better than have someone else try and fail to re-create Ledgers joker. Man, I wish he hadn't died. For the Riddler anybody think Jay Mohr or Kevin Pollack would be interesting choices? I can't think of a Penguin choice. Danny Devito may be too old and be too much like his character in the Burton film. It's got to be somebody short. I thought Vern Troyer but he's too short and not the right type of actor for the role.
  17. I was going to try something but I don't think I can top that!! Uckshmay!! Note to self: Bullpen funny as hell!!
  18. That makes complete sense. Everything you describe seems natural. His best friend George I'm sure will be there for his son and his mothers friends will help with the girls. I offered to take her for groceries or to pick up the kids if she needs me to. She's going to take her drivers test again and hopefully that will alleviate a lot of problems for them.
  19. I'm not lazy I always finish my
  20. Paint her purple and tell her you're turning violet violet!! Or call her grimace.
  21. You've got a lot betting intelligence. More power to ya.
  22. BTW, I found her picture.
  23. She suffers from glutias maximus. People don't realize how being grotesquely overweight causes problems for hospitals. When I worked at the hospital a 400-500 pound person came in for heart surgery. If you've never seen an operating table they aren't very wide. The person fell off the operating table. It took about 10-15 guys to get him back on the table. Somehow the Jackass survived. If you're extremely obese and have a heart attack it's going to take a lot to get you into the ambulance, out of the ambulance, onto an ER bed, down to the OR, onto an operating table and cut open through all the fat. Losing weight is a good idea for so many reasons.
