I totally forgot to tell y'all about Jacen's funniest present. SheFox's dad got him a copy of Glenn Beck's Christmas kids book. Signed by Glenn Beck. - TFox Dec 27, 16:45 9
- Sell it, and use the cash to buy him some Star Wars Adidas. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 16:53
- let him turn it into a coloring book -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Dec 27, 16:49
- I believe that's the first part of an ingredient for a gypsy curse. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:49
- burn it -- nm - J Dec 27, 16:48 5
  - as much as I can't stand Beck this is not the answer for any book. - Stephen Dec 27, 16:51 1
    - fine...rip out the pages and recycle it -- nm - J Dec 27, 16:56
  - I bet it can't be destroyed unless you throw it into the volcano of Mordor. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:49 2
    - I'd suggest trying holy water. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 16:55
    - True, that kind of evil needs special treatment -- nm - J Dec 27, 16:51
Please run it and kick the FG. No Celek and No Jackson!!! I am within striking distance of $200 -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:43 1
- Thank you, thank you, thank you -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:47
it's safe to assume a wedding venue that suggests RFPs is just going to be far too insanely expensive, correct? - kare Dec 27, 16:42 19
- RFPs? -- nm - Stephen Dec 27, 16:47 2
  - request for proposal? -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:49 1
    - heh. full circle! -- nm - kare Dec 27, 16:56
- Space Needle! -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:44 15
  - in the rotating restaurant! - kare Dec 27, 16:45 14
    - Is planning a beach wedding too risky (weather-wise)? I know you love being by the water. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 27, 16:47 6
      - Beach weddings can be very pricey too. - Stephen Dec 27, 16:50 1
        
        and 15 - 20k is way lower than average! - kare Dec 27, 16:55
      - we talked about this a bit last night. we think we need to find somewhere that has an indoor option just in case. - kare Dec 27, 16:49 3
        
        Your back garden, by the veggie patch :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 27, 16:51 1
        
        thought about that (see? obsessing) but it's just a tad too small. - kare Dec 27, 16:52
        
        I think you are safe in August and late July -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:50
    - maybe you and the other ST couples could triple up somewhere. volume discount -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:46 6
      - wow, that is so super tempting - kare Dec 27, 16:47 5
        
        If I remember right, this is his first? Gotta do the bells and whistles wedding for him. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:49 2
        
        he's being... sort of typical. as long as i'm there, it doesn't matter to him what we do. - kare Dec 27, 16:51 1
        
        Pretty typical thought for a guy to have. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:52
        
        Vegas!!!!!!! - MojaveMeg Dec 27, 16:48 1
        
        hee hee :) -- nm - kare Dec 27, 16:52
That's an insane catch by Maclin if replay rules for it -- nm - prayformojo Dec 27, 16:40 1
- Crazy awesome catch -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:40
Well, it appears I lost the championship in my office league. To my wife. - TFox Dec 27, 16:28 9
- Most times when the wife wins, the husband wins. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:31 1
  - Act really upset that you lost :) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:32
- go shefox! (sorry, man. ;) -) -- nm - b!, merry and bright. Dec 27, 16:31 5
  - I'm like 2-8 lifetime against her in FFB... and not one head-to-head win in the playoffs. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:32 4
    - does she rest her starters? -- nm - Beaker Dec 27, 16:38
    - See this where you need to find out who she is drafting before the draft - eag Dec 27, 16:35
    - she should just call you He-Bitch -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:34
    - That will teach you not to pick the players with the pretty colors on their uniforms.. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:34
- Well at least you keep it in the family -- nm - eag Dec 27, 16:31
woo! -- nm - b!, merry and bright. Dec 27, 16:27 6
- (yahoo! is apparently lagging. heh.) -- nm - b!, merry and bright. Dec 27, 16:29 5
  - sigh. -- nm - b! Dec 27, 16:53
  - Hey...did you catch my Vegas pics yesterday? -- (link) - MojaveMeg Dec 27, 16:32 [flickr] 3
    - I opened the window this morning to look at them later - thanks for the reminder! - b!, merry and bright. Dec 27, 16:35 2
      - I do wish I hadn't lost so much off my face, but I guess them's the breaks :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 27, 16:39 1
        
        then you'd be *too* pretty. ;) - - b! Dec 27, 16:51
I hope Philly wins I really dont want the Cowgirls to win the east -- nm - eag Dec 27, 16:25 1
- leave the team - keep the cheerleaders -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 16:27
I've been outvoted on watching football for a Harry Potter movie they've all seen multiple times. Send help. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:16 13
- but there's quidditch! -- nm - kare Dec 27, 16:35
- the other choice is on that other Canadian channel - The Sound of Music - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 16:25 5
  - I don't think you understand the situation. However, the other choice than Sound of Music is opening a vein with a dessert fork. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:27 3
    - there's not even a World Junior hockeg game on tonight -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 16:30 2
      - which I would still be outvoted on. see? -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:32 1
        
        too many muggles! - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 16:34
  - A++ movie -- nm - Beaker Dec 27, 16:27
- Which one? - Jelly Dec 27, 16:18 4
  - GoF. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:18 3
    - on CBC :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 27, 16:26 2
      - hey! that's my channel -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 16:28
      - it's still not football. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:28
- This is hugely uncool...unless it's a movie co-starring Luna Lovegood's hat. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:16
I half expect Purdue to retroactively take away Curtis Painter's scholarship. - David Dec 27, 16:15 7
- Bring back Sorgi! -- nm - Dano Dec 27, 16:19 3
  - What was his injury? -- nm - nubby Dec 27, 16:22 2
    - He hurt his shoulder and got placed on IR at the start of the month. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:23 1
      - That must have been a heavy clipboard. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:24
- he's just been put into the Jeff George Hall of Fame. -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 16:16 2
  - It was like watching a comedian bomb on the Tonight Show. Everyone was watching but no one was making a sound. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:17 1
    - yep -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 16:23
heh...my FB updates are going crazy. -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 16:14 1
- even spawn signed up to bitch! -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:16
firejimcaldwell.com and .net are both still available -- nm - prayformojo Dec 27, 16:08 12
- buy it now and sell it for $20k later -- nm - peglegpete Dec 27, 16:12
- as is didjimcaldwellruinchristmas.com. (i'm not even good enough at HTML to put the big 'yes' on the screen though.) -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:12
- If the Jets beat them in the playoffs, I guarantee there is a site up by the end of January. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:11
- Of course they are. Dude should be coach of the year. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:09 8
  - Yeah...it was very very tough of him to take a 12&4 team with Peyton Manning to the top of the league...again. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:10 7
    - spoilers - Jelly Dec 27, 16:17 6
      - Thank you! -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:17 5
        
        I am truly happy for you both. It's amazingly awesome. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:18 4
        
        But he's still wrong on this matter right? -- nm - eag Dec 27, 16:23 3
        
        Of course. And because they are now almost married she gets credit for them getting married too. Not him. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:29 2
        
        Im pretty sure it was Will that cried when he proposed and not Kelly - eag Dec 27, 16:30 1
        
        I don't fault any man that tears up during a proposal. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:41
So much for the Perfect Bowl. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:03 8
- *dislikes this post* -- nm - Stephen Dec 27, 16:15
- i'm trying to figure out if indy losing is worth having to put up with hearing from freakin mercury morris the next time a team gets close -- nm - prayformojo Dec 27, 16:04 6
  - No, it really isn't. - Stephen Dec 27, 16:22
  - Nobody wants to shut that guy up more than me. I just think the Superbowl is more important. Go into the playoffs with all the bullets in your gun. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:06 2
    - Except the intimidation bullet and the swagger bullet and the timing bullet and... -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:09 1
      - i don't think anyone seriously doubts that if Manning and crew were still in the game, the outcome would be at all in question -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:10
  - The best way to shut Mercury up is to have someone do it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:06 1
    - Or give him cocaine. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:06
Oh good, Indy calls timeout with 1st and goal at the 1. One might think this is to come up with a good plan to keep them in the game... - TFox Dec 27, 15:56
the only reason i think it's kind of a dick move is that tanking the game to the Jets has playoff implications for a lot of other teams -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 15:55 18
- I love that Rex Ryan mocked them for their predictable wimpitude, and they still didn't bother proving him wrong. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:57 9
  - I just don't like the message this sends. It's too conservative. I believe in intimidating the opposition. 16-0 does that. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:58 8
    - i agree - GWAA Dec 27, 16:00
    - And it's not like they have a long history of ya know successful playoff runs to fall back on with this strategy. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:59 6
      - Right now the way the Chargers are playing - eag Dec 27, 16:03 4
        
        The next time the Chargers don't choke in the playoffs will be a first. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:04 3
        
        I would hate to see the world deprived of post-playoff-loss quotes by Chargers players. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:05 2
        
        Yhe you would if it came at Indy's expense -- nm - eag Dec 27, 16:08 1
        
        That would be such a tough call for me. I'd need to pin my hopes on the NFC. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:09
      - Lord I hope the Pats get the 4 seed so we get first shot at putting our nutsack on their drumset. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:02
- If you have to rely on other teams to get you in then you don't deserve to be in the playoffs. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:56 7
  - Poor RC. He has to sit at a table with Guy and Redmond on occasion. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:59 1
    - I think it's a brilliant strategy. He can spout off all the crazy shit he wants, and still be considered the rational one. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 16:19
  - well there's stlil the pesky record and tiebreaking thing. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 15:58
  - Who exactly are you questioning here? The Jets get a gift...the Broncs/Ravens/Dolphins got the full Indy treatment. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:58 3
    - It's the weekend to get gifts. Just saying if you earn the right to rest your players then screw everyone else. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:00 2
      - The Colts want the Colts to win the Superbowl. Fuck the other teams. It's an all about my team league. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:00 1
        
        Tell me....how well has Indy done at winning the Super Bowl with this strategy in the past? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:01
Woah, the Broncos are showing life. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:46 38
- and it's wrecking my $150.00 week -- nm - J Dec 27, 16:04
- I had already started to pretend it was a bye week. -- nm - b! Dec 27, 16:00
- this is a weird game -- nm - prayformojo Dec 27, 15:50 1
  - It's hard to watch. I haven't seen a team punished like this since Kurt Russell went after Team USA in Miracle. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:52
- see Jim Caldwell? leave your starters in! -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 15:48 33
  - There are teams that win superbowls that rest their players. Teams with a loss not going for the perfect season rest them all the damn time. - Redmond Dec 27, 15:49 32
    - That strategy has never worked out for Indy, though. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 15:59 26
      - as I've been led to understand, using facts and evidence against Redmond isn't fair. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:03 25
        
        How about: I was always told quitters never win. Indy just quit on the rest of the season. Now they'll never win. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 16:13
        
        The Indy coach obviously agrees with me. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:04 23
        
        No, Peyton doesn't, I'd bet. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:05 22
        
        We can both agree on this. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:07 21
        
        No, you said the coach agrees...I said I'm sure Peyton doesn't. Since Peyton's very likely the coach of Indy..we disagree - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:09 20
        
        As we saw last week. The Star Quarterback isn't always right. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:10 19
        
        Peyton Manning as a game technician is about 100x better then Brett Favre can dream of being. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:11 17
        
        I've said it for several years now and I mean it every time. Manning is the best I've ever seen. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:12 11
        
        Between him and Brady, I really don't know where to make a bad choice there. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:15 1
        
        Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon weren't exactly the best receivers in the game either... - Stephen Dec 27, 16:38
        
        I had the luxury of seeing Montana (live a bunch of times) and he is the best I have ever seen. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:14 8
        
        Montana is a much more limited QB than Manning. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:15 7
        
        It's hard to compare salary cap era vs. non cap era. However Montana was cooler under pressure in my opinion. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:17 6
        
        I'm not talking about teams. I'm talking about players. Montana was an overachiever with a noodle arm. Manning is an overachiever with a hand cannon. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:22 3
        
        You didn't mean that second overachiever, I think. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:23 2
        
        I did. Manning practices like an undrafted free agent. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:25 1
        
        oh i see. i was thinking overachiever like "someone who achieves more than they would seem capable of". -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:26
        
        No...his last team went 9 & 7 and lost in the wild-card round. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:19 1
        
        Damn, you're right. I will admit that I was wrong once today :) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:27
        
        Yet they both have 1 ring. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:12 4
        
        Which proves what? That Peyton played against better teams quite frequently? - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:14 3
        
        It proves they both have a ring. You compared and so did I. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:16 2
        
        No..I compared actual QB skills...you compared team accomplishments. They are different animals. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:17
        
        You get defeated by yourself inside a thread often, huh? -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:16
        
        (see Favre vs the Coach) at least Manning will listen and sit his ass down -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:10
    - Exactly! Because Perfection has happened once in 45 years of modern NFL football. Years from now, absent a 19&0 team, the 1972 Dolphins will be - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:51
    - Because they still have something to play for. - TFox Dec 27, 15:51 3
      - The best thing that could happen is they lose today and next week wouldn't matter. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:52 2
        
        If they lose today, I hope we beat them every game for the rest of time, because they don't deserve any better. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:52 1
        
        Worry about keeping your mascot out of the prostitution business :) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:54
