Ravens sign L.J. Smith... Todd Heap might be unemployed - Stewie Mar 17, 14:49 1
- I think they might save around $6M in cap space if they cut Heap. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 17, 14:58
I just spent 30 minutes lying in the sun. It was supposed to reenergize me but it just wound up sapping any motivation I had left for today. -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 14:46 3
- It might be the vitamin D you get from sun exposure. -- nm - lileve Mar 17, 15:37
- You showed your hips again, didn't you. -- nm - Max Mar 17, 14:54 1

  - Pilots are/were "allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program" - Dr.Vermin Mar 17, 14:54 2
    - "Safety program" is not sufficient. They should go through the same training as Air Marshals -- nm - TWuG Mar 17, 15:00
    - But the federal government shouldn't be providing training! That's socialist. - Beryllium Mar 17, 15:00

    - more importantly, even if it's accurate, it may not be permissible evidence in court. -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 14:34 1
      - actually I'd consider that "less important". - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 17, 14:39
  - yup. the important question is how do we stop this from happening? -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 14:32 3
    - Sequester every jury!!!!!! - TWuG Mar 17, 14:35 1
      - Not in any way feasible, but it'd be the only way to accomplish it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 17, 15:00
    - "First thing we do, kill all the lawyers." -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 17, 14:34

        ok, so darcy probably laughed at you after - tRuMaN Mar 17, 15:00
    - You must love getting calls from her dont you?:) -- nm - eag Mar 17, 14:41 1
      - :) just trying to help her man keep his castle. -- nm - Remlik Mar 17, 14:45
  - Just have Tru call for ya:) -- nm - eag Mar 17, 14:30 5
