hmm ... so, with the super slow rate of viewings on our place, it's looking like we might lose out on the townhouse deal. - Beryllium Oct 18, 14:00 4
- I'm sure you've done the math on this... but if you find a decent deal on a place you really like... - TFox Oct 18, 14:06 3
  - we already have an accepted offer on the townhouse we're planning to buy, conditional on selling our place by Nov 15th - Beryllium Oct 18, 14:09 2
    - right, and i agree with that. i mean to sell your place so that conditional offer goes through. -- nm - TFox Oct 18, 14:10 1

My FF board can be a lot more juvenile than this board. They are doing the "Cheerleader" thing except they are using - amoxy Oct 18, 13:59 12
- ooh, I should go post there. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 14:00 11
  - The thing about over there is the mods can be real strict - amoxy Oct 18, 14:02

        yeah, I finally had to take the David way out on the anti-aircraft gun, but I got it done -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 14:04 2
        
        you waited until the last minute to jump on and squeeze off one shot? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 14:05 1

Meredith's response to Unloved and Unbedded... - Diva Oct 18, 13:52 5

- Thought 5. Really? I doubt he's avoiding sack time to porn it up -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 13:55 3
  - (or maybe she won't do...german...things.) -- nm - Max Oct 18, 13:56 1
    - You know who else wouldn't do German things? -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 13:58

- I picked him up as an afterthought in Blood Feud cause I have Aaron Rodgers - amoxy Oct 18, 13:48
If you lose enough CSF, I think you can suffer brain death. I could be wrong, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 13:43
groiny, the people being injured are not the ones being hit, for the most part. - Reagen Oct 18, 13:43 21
- [deleted] 9
  - I know the announcers said it wasn't a cheap shot by Robinson, but I thought it was at best ill considered. - David Oct 18, 13:51 5
    - I didn't think it was a cheap shot, I thought the Heap hit was one - amoxy Oct 18, 13:53
    - [deleted] 3
      - When people talk about passes that get wideouts killed, that's the blueprint example. -- nm - David Oct 18, 13:54 2
        
        and this is why receivers get alligator arms when they are going for a ball across the middle. - groiny Oct 18, 13:57 1
        
        you can't runflat out and hold your arms out, you can't help loosing balance, altering foot steps -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 13:59
  - and, it is hard for me to imagine a hit any harder than that in football. - groiny Oct 18, 13:50 2
    - bullfighting...but not nearly as often -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 13:55
    - Or how often do you see a WR go up for a ball and get undercut? - Will Hunting Oct 18, 13:52
- I watch football, I see the hits, I saw the Utley play, and they other dude whose name escapes me.... - groiny Oct 18, 13:47 10
  - Darryl Stingley? I saw that one when I was a kid -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 14:00
  - my point is that any injury that paralyzes has the potential to be fatal, right then and there. - Reagen Oct 18, 13:49 7
    - I do nor dispute that in the least. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 13:49 6
      - it seems like you have been. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 13:50 5
        
        I guess my "dying on the field" means something different. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 13:51 4
        
        you're saying you can't envision the hit. If there's a hit that can paralyze someone, it's *that* close to killing them. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 13:55 3
        
        right, I heard you the first time. and *that* close, is really not that close. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 13:56 2
        
        it really, really is. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 13:57 1
        
        and I would prefer being dead to being paralyzed anyway. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 13:59

*hides behind a rock, waiting patiently* -- nm - killer mountain goat Oct 18, 13:41 12
- Hmm, what can we cross with a mountain goat? -- nm - SyFy producers Oct 18, 13:44 10
  - whatever is settled on, it can't be a SyFy movie without Casper Van Diem -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 14:11
  - I think the Russian Wolf Pack is already being fast tracked at SyFy -- nm - amoxy Oct 18, 13:50
  - Just put it in a Nazi Uniform and we are good to go -- nm - amoxy Oct 18, 13:46 1

kilbo, sorry if this is TMI, but yes, I have been and I was happy to have been. Depends on circumstances, of course -- like, I didn't have kids, and - mara Oct 18, 13:40 12
- I'm all for sex but even I would be annoyed if my "getting together" consisted of being woken up from sleep for action -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 13:41 11
  - I don't turn down "getting together" from those I want. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 13:47 2
    - I wouldn't either but I can see the annoyance building up if that's the extent of the effort -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 13:47 1
      - I guess if that was the only time yah. I think we nailed it by saying this is really a symptom of a larger problem. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 13:49
  - It didn't bother me. If a couple needs to find a way work with differing bedtimes, it's an option. -- nm - mara Oct 18, 13:43 4
    - *flashes back to a scene from 30Rock* ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 13:44
    - I'd be like, just come up and jam with me before I go to sleep and then you can go back and watch your "movies" -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 13:44 2
      - Oh, sure, if you have a DVR. -- nm - mara Oct 18, 13:45 1
        
        Now you're just being silly :) -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 13:47
  - i would be concerned if I was the LW that the 'get-together' in the AM was only about his morning wood and I was just a warm body. -- nm - Diva Oct 18, 13:42 1
    - if all you wanted was cheap annonymous sex with strangers, why couldn't you have it with me? -- nm - valerie Oct 18, 13:48
  - UAI -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 13:42
Since today is concussion day on TT: I admit the more I learn about TBIs, the more guilty I feel watching and cheering football. (nm) - musubi Oct 18, 13:39 24
- At least they seem to be putting more emphasis on the concussion aspect. - Will Hunting Oct 18, 13:41 13
  - They are, but the fact remains that it's a violent game. Inheirently violent. - musubi Oct 18, 13:45 10
    - I really like Ditka's take on it. - groiny Oct 18, 13:49 2
      - Wasn't he also the one who said, "Football is not a contact sport, it is a collision sport"? - amoxy Oct 18, 13:52 1
        
        I believe so. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 13:59
    - Right; there's no 'safe' answer here....but at least they're showing signs of recognizing they got an issue - Will Hunting Oct 18, 13:46 5
      - At the very least, we can say that players (and parents) are better informed of the risks. -- nm - mara Oct 18, 13:47 4
        
        I suppose this is true. I, for one, will never let my kids play football. (nm) - musubi Oct 18, 13:49 2
        
        Soccer? guaranteed knee surgery. Tennis? there's an *injury* named after the sport! -- nm - Max Oct 18, 13:51 1
        
        Medical science can do wonders for most injuries. Not so for brain injuries. - musubi Oct 18, 13:56
        
        agreed. and if coaching on the jr high and high school levels change to reflect this, it will be a good thing. -- nm - Remlik Oct 18, 13:48
    - I wince thinking about Wayne Chrebet. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 13:46
  - btw, I knew Mike Utley in college. I thought he was a super guy. It was a shame what happened. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 13:42 1
    - His was a freak accident....the Dennis Byrd thing, you could see the how....spearing another 300lb man in the stomach = bad.... - Will Hunting Oct 18, 13:44
- wait till the lawsuits start - hachiko Oct 18, 13:40 3
  - Congress will grant the NFL a exemption from liability based on it being a national institution (ie- source of revenue) (nm) - musubi Oct 18, 13:43 2
    - Hahahahah - Trial Lawyer Lobby Oct 18, 13:44 1
      - Cause the Trial Lawyer lobby has really done a number on pro sports anti-trust, right? (nm) - musubi Oct 18, 13:46
- I've never liked <strike>hockey</strike> football, but this kinda holds true for hockey, too. - Beryllium Oct 18, 13:40 5
  - ooh, nice. My correction worked. heh -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 13:48 1
    - Hey. I want strikeout functionality! - musubi Oct 18, 13:50
  - that's a blatant typo. Why has no one mocked me yet? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 13:46 2
    - hard to see details when your eyes glaze over from the subject matter -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 13:51
    - Like all things hockey related, the Americans just ignored it. - musubi Oct 18, 13:47
B2: a little known fact about one of my socialist heroes, Teddy Roosevelt. In 1905, 18 people died playing football. He demanded change - crash davis Oct 18, 13:39 8
- wait....Teddy was a pinko? -- nm - Remlik Oct 18, 13:43 5
  - The official name of the Bull Moose Party was the Progressive Party. -- nm - Ender Oct 18, 13:47 1
    - although that meant a different thing than it did today. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 13:50
  - imagine what would happen today if Obama tried to squirrel away as much American soil as Teddy did when he created the National Forest system -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 13:44 2
    - clinton did in his last days in office -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 13:57
    - but that was part of Manifest Destiny! - Remlik Oct 18, 13:46
- rugby retort! -- nm - Max Oct 18, 13:41
- this is a fantastic point, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 13:40
give it up -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 13:38 4
- For the 57th President of the United States! -- nm - amoxy Oct 18, 13:39 1
  - 2080 can't come soon enough! - Will Hunting Oct 18, 13:40
- HIT IT, MAX! -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 13:38 1
