Hey, Pi...maybe we should have everyone change their display names and avatars (you can do that in the new site) for your Halloween threads. Would that be fun? Everyone could come as a different famous person. : )

(Killed the thread again...) Will you just get rid of that spatula already? If you must have a kitchen utensil nearby while you post, try a cheese grater or something. Cheese graters are utilitarian but non-threatening.
8 out of 13 for 100 might qualify as one really good drive, but zero passing touchdowns nullifies that theory.
Two or three years back the then defensive coach, Rex Ryan (Buddy's other son), went on this strange flight of fancy. Oakland went into two straight seasons with fewer then three linebackers on their roster. Their place on the roster was taken up by a whole fleet of 280lb+ guys euphemistically labeled as "linebackers" but everybody knew they weren't covering anybody downfield. At one point they were starting what could only be described as a 7-4 formation, seven down linemen and four defensive backs.
It worked great for stopping the run. Problem is no team in the NFL establishes the run first anymore. The West Coast offense spelled the end of the "three yards and a cloud of dust" a long time ago.
After three years of fruitlessly screaming "LINEBACKERS" at the unresponding tube, they went nuts. They drafted and signed so many linebackers that one of the extras is now pretending to play quarterback...
Not to mention drafting a potential all-star right tackle and then playing him at every O-line position except right tackle and center...

Render, I'm a Packer fan. This was our bye week. I almost wish EVERY WEEK was bye week. It's the only way I can relax. Two and two - two more touchdowns with 2 pt conversions and we're undefeated. GAH. I hate that. We're on pace to repeat last year...losing by so little, losing a LOT.
CC: yep, keeping it a secret for now. You should be able to penetrate the persona after a ferocious google search though. The "identity" I have picked out makes sense for me. I may have to explain a few of the subtleties of it through the evening though.
"Spatula city, we've got spatulas...and that's all!" I didn't even have to look. I can sing it in the right key without having heard it in ten years. LOL (I love that thing.)
Yes, but consider the occasional drop in poster and their reaction, some unfortunate soul might read it as SPATula and be deterred and let's not even talk about the mild dyslectic who sees "u a splat" - I'm just saying that's all ---
“We will be a headache for anyone who believes the Constitution of the United States … isn’t to be protected,” said Dick Armey, chairman of the anti-tax and limited government advocacy group FreedomWorks, which helped plan and promote the tea parties, town hall protests and the September ‘Taxpayer March’ in Washington. “If you can’t take it seriously, we will look for places of other employment for you.”
“We’re not a partisan organization, and I think many Republicans are disappointed we are not,” added Armey, a former GOP congressman.
I do that with my CAR. Leave the keys in the ignition overnight. Come back and they're still there! The keys are still there, the car, on the other hand, now resides at the police impound lot.
Morning. Kept waiting for Lidge to throw the 450 ft homer last night,LoL,but we survived... Lee going tonight on 4 days rest thanks to snow sure feels good.
Look for this on the Hill as early as Monday: A report commissioned by America's Health Insurance Plans alleging that the Senate Finance Committee legislation would cause health care costs to go up faster than under the current system.
Only watched from 6th on. 5-4 when I started watching. HAD to stay up to watch it though, good or bad. It was 25 degrees when the game ended, talk about October baseball.. Much saner time tonight, thank the stars.
Alarmed by the rising jobless rate, Democrats are scrambling to "do something" to create jobs. You may have thought that was supposed to be the point of February's $780 billion stimulus plan, and indeed it was. White House economists Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein estimated at the time that the spending blowout would keep the jobless rate below 8%.
The nearby chart compares the job estimates the two economists used to help sell the stimulus to the American public to the actual jobless rate so far this year. The current rate is 9.8% and is expected to rise or stay high well into the election year of 2010. Rarely in politics do we get such a clear and rapid illustration of a policy failure.
1)Obama is leaving Afghanistan. Said that a while back and I'm sticking to it. Love Krauthammer.
2)Stimulus ? Wow, that almost duplicates what has happened to the schools even after throwing good money at a problem. Being a Dem means never having to learn from past mistakes. It's a new day!
The problem with our economy right now is that people accept as fact that there are more important things than profit. However, from the standpoint of a business owner, there is nothing more important than profit. Not only does the business owner and his family rely on profit, so do all of his employees, his suppliers, his shippers, his retailers, his customers and on and on... If a business owner does not make a profit, he goes out of business, then all those other people are S.O.L. as well. Profit is King! Until we, as a nation, accept that as fact we will continue to struggle to rebound financially.
1. I agree with your assessment. Maybe some people will remember that old "Afghanistan is the good war" schtick that the Dems used to run against Bush...someday. I just HOPE it's not after something bad happens. :-(
Regardless, what they were trying to avoid - the appearance of being soft on defense - will come back to haunt them, I predict.
2. It doesn't help in the least that the realities of what Roosevelt did by manipulating the economy (the same way the Dems are trying to do now) during The Depression IS NOT TAUGHT....
"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong . . . somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. . . . I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. . . . And an enormous debt to boot."
So is it ignorance on Obamas' part or purpose ? We're forced to fight this as if it's the latter. I've tended towards that belief myself,worst case scenario and all that, and hope it's the former. Not good either way.
Help yourselves!
