Southern McButterpants.

I thought he was smoking a carrot . . .

If I don't leave here before retirement (20 years off) . . I'm planning to move to the Greenville - Spartanburg area of South Carolina . . . Was there once for work. Wonderful scenery, great climate, not too crowded, close enough to Charlotte for all the big city conveniences . . .

What sarcasm? That's all the National publications, pundits and websites say every year. Even the year they went 1-15 John Clayton picked them to go to the Super Bowl . . .

All the more reason to think he's the odd man out in the QB rotation . . .

Infidel dogs don't know it's not bacon.

Anyone recall Saturn Visniak on Rieman Street in Sloan?

When did anyone here claim that Hardy, Maybin or Whitner were the REAL DEAL and would be pro-bowl caliber players? I, personally, was excited to see McLovin drafted (you can't coach speed). My personal jury is still out on Lynch - fine player, d'bag off the field . . .

I just had my first Nica Libre '90 this past weekend. Very impressed . . .

We're DOOOOOOMED!

There should be a choice for "I don't give a rat's a$$ about baseball."

Man, that is a huge contract. I can't believe that it has taken this long for the NFL to even start thinking about a rookie salary cap . . .

These planets are not "millions" of light years away. The entine galaxy is "only" 100,000 light years across. Many of these are within one to two hundred light years away. Not that these distances are conducive to a two-way conversation, but maybe we can pick up their TV and/or radio signals . . .

The Browns and Chiefs are both "better" than the Bills cuz they hired Holmgren and Pioli respectively. They went out and got big names. That must mean that the teams are suddenly more talented and experienced, right? Sarcasm font off . . . I'm not pointing fingers, and I don't want to be "that" guy but why do y'all torture yourselves reading these? Any power ranking that starts with the Jests as #1 was written by a crack-addled mind at best. Fuggedaboudit . . . We know this is a rebuilding year. If Dick Jauron, the Pill and an interim HC could pull 6 wins out of this team last year, I see no reason to believe that competent coaching and conditioning shouldn't be able to do at least the same this year.

Yes, I look back with fear and loathing at a 14,000 point Dow and under 5% unemployment and STILL the media crowed about how bad things were . . .

Buy every MLB Baseball team and make them wear dresses. Rename myself Crusty Mc$hiiteballs and donate new buildings to every ivy league university with the stipulation that they must name the buildings after me . . . Props to Louis CK

And if he gets his way, he will destroy the NFL as we know it.

Shaud Williams?

Seriously? Really? Do you even think about some of the things you write here, Molson?

Keith Moon . . . and a +1 to Freddie Mercury.

A recess appointee???? Wasn't that an impeachable offense a few years back?

One of the big problems that the left had with W was that he wouldn't change course in the face of criticism. It's called conviction, integrity, belief, etc. Bam is showing that he is, truly, an empty suit.

You know how your mom always said to wait a half-an-hour after eating before swimming? I went to Sleepy Hollow campground with a friend and his family when I was 15. I remember the day cuz it was the day WZIR came on the air and played "Psycho Chicken" all day. They had a great lunchtime cookout and we ate like kings. Immediately afterwards my friend, his brother and I ran into the lake there and decided to swim out to the diving platform which was maybe 100 yards out. Half-way there i cramped up, bad. My entire midsection exploded in pain and I curled up like a ball. I flailed my arms around a little, but my friend and his brother were well past me, and all of the swimmers on the beach were well behind me. I was literally going down for the third time when my arm hit on a rope with floaters on it running out to the diving platform. Thanking God the whole time, I started to pull myself in towards the beach. The genius lifeguard begins to yell to me to, "get off the rope!" through a bullhorn. He wanted to yell at me when I got to the beach but I kinda told him off when I got back on land.

Today's list would be . . . 1) Rush - Counterparts 2) Paul Collins' Beat - The Kids are the Same 3) Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience 4) The Who - Quadrophenia (technically it's on 2 discs, but some peeps have picked 80 disc collections, so ) 5) Cheap Trick - In Color

Amen . . . and remember to fly your flag . . . and if you don't have one; shame on you.

9.25 pounds of baby back ribs, baked beans, fresh slaw . . . Score.
