Guard Dog

This weeks results: Kelverin: 9-4 Enoch: 8-5 Volo: 8-5 GD: 8-5 Season Standings: Volo: 86-43 GD: 85-44 Kelverin: 84-45 Enoch: 79-50 Kelverin bags the win but Volo is still out in front.

I sold the bumper pool table I restored today. I got $400 for it, with around $150 in it. I'm going on www.newegg.com later to buy parts to build a new PC so in one hand and out the other...

I stopped at Costcos on the way home today. It's a warehouse/price club type place where you can buy stuff in bulk. So anyway, I bought five forty pound (a little over 18 Kg) bags of premium dog food. Thats it, nothing else. So I'm waiting to check out and the doofy guy at the register says "you must have a lot of dogs!" I looked at him with a dead straight face and told him "No, I don't have a dog." He looked at me a little funny so I told him, again with a dead straight face, that I ran the Chili concession over at the fairgrounds. Then I took the receipt, and walked away. You should have seen the look on his face!I laughed all the way to the truck! I bet thet guy never eats at that chili stand again!

YEA!!!!!! YEA!!!! YESSSS! Finally! I must admit it was very cool seeing winky the pirate again. It was even cooler seeing Lee Roy Selmon, his brother, Doug Williams, Charley Hannah, and some of the other old time Bucs there at half time. The Bucs website has the whole ceremony on it. And best of all they finally got a win. And Josh Freeman looked GREAT! I hope Coach Morris sticks with him the rest of the way. They are likely going to have a high draft pick in a QB rich draft next year. It's nice to see they won't need a QB and can use that pick on a RB or defense. Or best of all, trade it down for more picks.

Thats it, this thread is over and 213374U wins! In all seriousness, the EU should worry the citizens of Europe. It was concieved as an economic alliance and is quickly and by fiat becoming a de facto European central government. There is a very real and inherent danger in surrendering the sovreignty of your own soil to a political body who does not care about or represent your interests and over whom you can exert no influence. Historicly speaking such a thing can only be escaped at the cost of blood. Actually there are many, many Americans discussing the same things following the many and flagrant Constitutional trangressions and power siezures by the US Federal Government over the past two administrations.

It is still a possibility. Just a lot less likely. If it ever does happen I'd want to be a ground zero for the first blast. I don't think I'd want to deal with the aftermath. That is unless I can ride the bomb down like in Doctor Strangelove. If ya gotta go, go with a bang!

Washington at Atlanta: Man, the Skins are a sad story aren't they? Falcons win. Arizona at Chicago: Arizona has been really inconsistent this year. But so has Chicago. Bears win Baltimore at Cincinnati: I don't like this game. Too hard to pick. Ravens win Houston at Indianapolis: The Colts won't win them all, but they will win this one. Colts win. Miami at New England: Okay guys, that Wildcat thing isn't fooling anyone now. Pats win Green Bay at Tampa Bay: Please please please please please let the misery end! Bucs win. KC Chiefs at Jacksonville: Bad Chiefs O vs bad Jags D. I bet this one ends up with a score like 9-6, all FGs. Jags win Carolina at New Orleans: Caraolina has a good record against the Saints but not THESE Saints. Saints win Detroit at Seattle: Seahawks should be able to handle this one. Seahawks win Tennessee at SF 49ers: Niners came close last week, look for a rebound here. 49ers win San Diego at NY Giants: What the hell happened NY? Giants win Dallas at Philadelphia: The Eagles seem to win games you'd think they would lose and vice versa. I smell upset here. Cowboys win Pittsburgh at Denver: Beating Denver is hard. Doing in in Mile High is harder. Broncos are 33-14 at home since 2001, best in the NFL. Broncos win

Okay, I said I was going to wait but...I didn't. It took a week but I read it. All in all a pretty good book. Nice to see plot lines beginning to wrap up and thankfully no new ones were started. This book moved the story forward which is a good thing because saying it had been stalling out would be too kind. One thought I had on the plot though:

Well, it's all over now. All in all the WS was great. I watched almost all of all six games. It had it all really, dominating pitching and freat hitting, comebacks, hight drama, an aging veteran turning back time to save the day (how about Matsui's performance especially in game six...amazing). It had everything you could hope for. It was a great end to a great season. The Rays took a step back this year, the Marlins took a step forward. Now we concentrate on football and the NHL but there will always be time for Hot Stove talk. Until spring training...

Took the day off today. I ended up playing cards at the VFW Post in Millington all day. Not what I had planned but it was fun. There was Jack Daniels on ice and Ashton Churchill cigars all around. I lrft with a little less money than I came with but it was worth it. Sometimes it's fun to just relax and swap a few war stories.

Last weeks results: Enoch 9-4 GD: 9-4 Kelverin: 8-5 Volo: 8-5 Season Standings: Volo: 78-38 GD: 77-39 Kelverin: 75-41 Enoch: 71-45 Sorry for the delay... been very, very busy

Yep. Or when stating what is clearly self evidient.

Note to self... don't copy Volos posts anymore... Lions beat Rams at home. Lions win!

You are one sour and humorless dude aren't you. I'm guessing you don't get laid much?

One of my best zinger posts ever got chopped up because LoF can't help being a nasty condescending jerk in his posts. But if he hadn't I'd have had nothing to zing.

Hmmmm. Are you sure he worked there and wasn't just some nut in a clown suit?

I slept with a Wiccan girl once. Does that mean I have wiccan too?

HOU at BUF: Texans CLE at CHI: Bears SEA at DAL: Cowboys DEN at BAL: Ravens SF at INDY: Colts MIA at NYJ: Jets NYG at PHI: Giants JAX at TEN: Oilers OAK at SD: Chargers CAR at ARI: Cardinals MIN at GB: Vikings AT at NO: Saints No time for commentary this week...

Actually, most politicians have trouble grasping that concept as well. Just ask tobacco retailers in New Jersey! Maybe Sand should run for office.

I live way out in the sticks. My nearest neighbor is 4 miles away. Very little is illegal out here.

I like the Yanks in five. And I think planned double headers were great. I wish they would revisit especially in the summer when the kids can go.

I'm curious... do you believe perpetrators of violent crime can be helped by "rehabilitative" punishment given the very very high rate of recidivisim in violent offenders? Second, have you ever been or know anyone (someone close to you if there is such a person... kinda doubt it in your case) who has ever been the victim of a violent crime? I'm betting....no.

I don't worry about them except that they make a mess. They knock the grill over, drive the dogs bonkers, usually in the dead of night. If they get too bad I just put my shotgun out the window and fire a shot in the air. That usually scatters them and keeps them away for a while. I keep trying to get pics of them though but my camera is crappy and they move fast. This is the only pic I've gotten so far:

And the cycle begins elsewhere: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/tax_ref...71UXIc0i6cd3UpK

Prediction: I will be visited by Coyotes later. I know because I'm grilling chicken tonight. Preditction: I will probably be too drunk to care if and when they do come because I've only been home for 20 min and I'm already on my second drink. Preditcion: I will watch the Baseball game tonight but will probably have to check the net in the morning because I won't remember who won. Prediction: At least one of you out there wishes they were doing what I'm doing tonight!
