Never sure what folks mean by "bangs." There's bangs that go across the forehead (covering it) and there's bangs that get swept back. -- nm - mara Aug 27, 13:31 22
- to me bangs are hair cut specifically to fall on the forehead. usually with a fairly distinct end point that doesn't just blend with the rest of the - Andie Aug 27, 13:37 1
  - Check mandy's second link below. It's a hairstyling site and they use the word "bangs" to mean something totally different. -- nm - mara Aug 27, 13:59
- The link contains the Lea Michele photo I that relates to my original post. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Aug 27, 13:35 12

        it's *cute.* I need something that'll move from *cute* to *sever* with just flat iron and miracle mist. -- nm - workmanda Aug 27, 14:05
        
        That's hot. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 27, 14:02
        
        Nice! -- nm - mara Aug 27, 13:58
  - if you have a huge forehead, you should have bangs. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:37
  - And in my thinking it is when the hair comes down on the forehead and, be it long or short, is cut straight across. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 27, 13:37 1
    - That's just one way to style bangs, really. -- nm - mara Aug 27, 13:37
- bangs, to me, means like Abby on NCIS -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:34 2
  - Now that you mention her, she pulls it off pretty well. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 27, 13:37
  - But if she didn't wear them that way, it would still be the same hair lengths. Just styled differently. -- nm - mara Aug 27, 13:36
- the former. think Suicide Girls -- nm - zork Aug 27, 13:34
- I think of it as a section of hair that is short -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 13:34 2
  - In that case, I have bangs. I just don't have them down on my forehead (if I can help it). -- nm - mara Aug 27, 13:35 1
    - Correct, you do not have to wear it like Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice for them to be bangs -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 13:52

  - I'm not paying you $500 for that -- nm - oblique Aug 27, 13:22
  - I don't believe you. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 13:19
  - you should probably leave it on for a bit. - groiny Aug 27, 13:19
- it's a pretty bad idea to sell them like that. tons of people will get them that have no idea what they are in for. (they are cute though!) -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 13:16 2
  - yeah, not sure what kind of pet they would make. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:17
  - this, too. In most cases it's kind of cruel. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:16
- I think sugar gliders are very cute, but they wouldn't last a day in my house. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:16 12
  - FYI: They do not taste like sugar. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 13:17 11
    - I don't think my cats would care what it tasted like, they would just bat it around and play with it until it died. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:18 10
      - it would be like having a bat for a pet. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:19 8
        
        bats can fly. sugar gliders can't fly, they can only glide. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:20 7
        
        Exactly. - Spawn Aug 27, 13:21 3
        
        they are quite good at gliding directly into the mouth of cats -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:35 2
        
        This is like a Sylvester/Tweety segment. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 27, 13:38 1
        
        yes, but tweety wasn't a sugar glider. If tweety was a sugar glider, those segments would be much shorter. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:40
        
        can't glide very far in my hose. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:21 2

So what does a "touch" in football mean then? Whenever I see it used as a football stat it is referencing receptions or rushes - Guy Aug 27, 13:10 12
- every snap he gets is a touch. I'm sure some of rogers' fumbles were when he was dropping back to pass. - dogbert Aug 27, 13:17
- but some of Aaron Rodger's fumbles might have come during snaps, handoffs, or getting hit while attempting a pass -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 13:15 4
  - drops would be the x-factor here. i don't know where to find that info, are bad snaps considered fumbles by the QB? -- nm - Guy Aug 27, 13:23 3
    - I believe so. - groiny Aug 27, 13:26 2
      - I think snaps have the same scoring problem on who to blame, similar to wild pitches/passed balls -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 13:30
      - [deleted]
- The thing that completely eliminates your argument is that most of those fumbles occur when the QB isn't attempting to run with the ball. - Inigo Aug 27, 13:14 3
  - well, actually, even if you include sacks, he has a 9.5% fumble rate -- nm - Guy Aug 27, 13:19 2
    - Every time a QB touches the ball they have a chance to get hit or fumble. It's really that simple. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 13:28
    - That still excludes about 90% of plays (handoffs and non-sacked passes) - Will Hunting Aug 27, 13:25
- i did rien use my 'ands -- nm - T. Henry Aug 27, 13:13
- every time the quarterback accepts the ball, it is a touch. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:11
