Gromnir

am such a snob. when we saw george takei criticize the trump collective it made us recall that george couldn't hack it as an architecture student at Cal, so he dropped out and ended up in theatre at ucla. am needing to work on our educational elitism. is not as if we went to Princeton or Yale.... heck, not even brown. HA! Good Fun!

am actual owing the brits a big thank you, 'cause no matter how ridiculous the US Presidential election becomes, it ain't as bad as brexit. HA! Good Fun!

*shrug* folks see word "steroid" and get confused with anabolic steroids. and gosh, an athlete who has taken painkillers is shocking and newsworthy indeed. not. out of the immense number o' US athletes at the olympics, russian hackers uncover that a few of 'em were having approval from WADA to be taking meds for medical conditions? is not news save for oby and the predictable conspiracy nutters littering the board. HA! Good Fun! ps turn into a general protest 'bout meds and sports is even more queer. every sport polices different, and some not at all. might as well post 'bout barry bonds clear and creme, eh?

our position coach at Cal remarked that he were surprised we made it to california seeing as how it woulda' been impossible to get our hands through an airport metal detector. we observed that Gromnir drove all the way from illinois. *shrug* we were kinda a bob sanders safety, though we has been told that we have "serial killer eyes," which we is twisted enough to take as a compliment. relative stout, fast and hard hitting. were state finals in in both 100 and indoor 55, but coach were correct 'bout our hands. far more passes defensed than interceptions. and as fate would have it, the guy on our high school team who played mike ended up 1st team all-state. now He were the real deal. HA! Good Fun!

can't use lance armstrong as an example, save for his one olympics... which you ain't doing. to speak o' sports in general and use drug use by tai-pae pit fighters would be equal relevant. and your sniffer aside, the WADA is pretty darn strict, which is exact why a russian intelligence agency got involved in over-the-top cloak and dagger activities to alter russian athlete results. HA! Good Fun! ps armstrong got caught and had his 2000 bronze medal stripped by the ioc... so, is another reason your example is bad.

we will take any excuse to post clips o' chicago's 34. is kinda funny that in 2016, payton would not have been anywhere near a first round draft pick in spite o' the fact that one famous nfl scout once observed that along with anthony munoz and john elway, payton were the only perfect college football players he had ever witnessed. ran ~ a 4.6 40. seemed faster 'cause o' incredible vision, balance and explosiveness, but he didn't have top-end speed. regardless, is our pick for best all-time rb. not just 'cause he were a fantastic runner (would actually choose jim brown or barry sanders as pure runners before payton... maybe gale sayers too ) but as a complete back, we don't believe we has seen anybody in the same class. is an anecdote that john mckay, the former bucs and usc coach, showed his tampa bay squad film o' THE perfect play-- were a block by payton followed by a 3 yd pass reception. made 'em watch it over and over. lambert is actually the guy we modeled our own playstyle after even though we played safety and not mlb. intimidation and intelligence. in spite o' the fact that lambert were not the most physical gifted player, he always maximized his opportunities to make a play by being in the correct spot to do so. lambert played smart. 'course once he had a chance to make a play, he punished opponents, and then he talked trash... talked lots. regardless, once football season starts, we can't enjoy a "little obstacle course." we already admitted it ain't rational, but our contact sport bias is at its height in september. HA! Good Fun!

... am thinking you might not be aware o' what is the present "scandal." russian hackers got the medical records o' US olympians revealing those individuals who had received legit and fully disclosed exemptions from the WADA to take medications to deal with existing conditions such as asthma and adhd and... whatever. is not actual any story here... unless, for example, it turns out that the women's 8s rowing team were all taking prostate medications and the WADA were ignoring the obvious ploy. HA! Good Fun!

fed privacy laws prevent the irs from releasing info, and in any event, am certain if you reflect you will see why it is a terrible idea for the irs to make a change in policy to deal with trump's shenanigans. not gonna change laws, rules or policy regarding privacy o' medical records neither. yeah, trump's excuses is bs, but while there is a tradition o' presidential candidates providing tax returns, there is no law which would compel him to do so. is a good tradition. failure to follow such tradition should open trump up to universal scorn. that hasn't happened. the irs has taken heat in recent years for targeting conservative groups. bad. to overt target an individual 'cause o' questionable campaign claims would be inviting an epic p00p storm down on the irs. regardless, other than to make general policy observations regarding the rights o' any and all US citizens when dealing with the irs, you ain't gonna get government comment on trump's audit... real or imagined. HA! Good Fun!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/06/15/new-evidence-donald-trump-didn-t-pay-taxes.html there is more than a little evidence that trump is a "very bad man" insofar as taxes is concerned... and he refuses to even offer proof that he is being audited. irs won't comment, so is only trump's word *snort* that he is being audited. ... and once again, as has been stated by innumerable experts, it doesn't make one bit o' difference if trump is being audited or not. is not as if releasing returns to the public will change the audit by the irs. is a red herring. HA! Good Fun! ps tax returns.

amusing/sad article regarding trump charitable donations https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09/12/trumps-campaign-says-hes-given-tens-of-millions-to-charity-but-offers-no-details-and-no-proof/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/26/donald-trump-has-now-given-more-to-charity-in-the-last-four-months-than-in-the-previous-10-years-combined/ y'know, tax returns would clear up the charity question. HA! Good Fun! ps tax returns

we could change out a broken clutch... no problem. 'course that would only be true if we were driving this: HA! Good Fun!

artist is the most recent recipient o' the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass. am not making up that award neither. HA! Good Fun! ps check ms. giddens and the other members o' carolina chocolate drops for some good stuff http://www.carolinachocolatedrops.com/

is football season and in spite o' our growing concerns 'bout football safety, is difficult for us to take ninja warrior serious when we can see jack lamberts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8Lo1sAzOkU and walter paytons every weekend. with the olympics in the rear view mirror, our admitted irrational disdain for any 'sport' that don't include contact resurfaces in an ugly sorta way. HA! Good Fun!

am not having seen anything from prescott that would make us believe that he is ready for the nfl. completion % were, at best, not good, especially when one considers the kinda passes being thrown. yardage total for the number o' passes were also extreme low. the giants dl were good against the run, but is not as if they were chasing dak all over the field. in the absence o' passing numbers, there were no dynamic running from dak to impress us. am suspecting that if the giants had scored 50 points and won the game, people would be talking 'bout how awful were prescott. regardless, is week 1. is dak prescott's week 1 in multiple senses of the word. the number of forgotten nfl qbs that actual looked fantastic in their first game is considerable. the number of great nfl qbs that looked terrible in their first outing is legion. heck rick mirer won rookie of the year as a seahawk and after one season, the debate 'bout whether vince young thrive in the nfl were hardly finished after year or week 1. particularly for dual-threat qbs on whom there is no nfl film, defenses will play extreme conservative. trying to gauge any level of future qb success at this time would be premature. dak got the w. not just prescott, but week 1 sunday is typical followed by overreaction monday. HA! Good Fun!

is difficult for us to hate the guy seeing as how we have never seen him as an adult in anything... ever. road to perdition? he were thirteen or fourteen? 'course we couldn't get through more than 2.5 episodes of supergirl. sorry guys, but the show were kinda terrible, other than over-the-top calista flockhart. didn't disney do a cartoon 'bout a spunky female superhero? kim possible? from what little we saw o' both, the cartoon were better. HA! Good Fun!

well, https://shipwiki.wikispaces.com/Enterprise?responseToken=45a01415294d3ccebc73de13e7a2f81e natural progression HA! Good Fun!

the question is whether those plans existed before or after the model were used in the pilot episode. am suspecting that the model were a reality and then somebody afterwards decided to fill in the empty space with a "rational" ship design. am not enough o' a star trek fan to know if the chicken or egg came first in this situation. HA! Good Fun!

playing in a good room can make your music sound better. HA! Good Fun!

Let me guess....the people who claim she is unqualified are......Trump and GOP supporters ? clinton has experience. is not same as being qualified. to once again mention the foreign policy blunders o' the obama administration would be a d HA! Good Fun! ps if kgambit or others wanna fight with bruce 'bout US foreign policy mistakes o' the last 8 years, so be it, but we has done the groundhog day shtick too many times for it to be funny. Guys please lets not be worried about discussing US foreign policy, I am very comfortable having this debate yet again. Some of you guys feel Obama failed or made several blunders, I know some but what exactly would you guys say are " failures of the US foreign policy " ...just make bullet points if you want so I get the general idea, because i can't be bothered to review the half dozen fruitless and previous incarnations of the foreign policy debates that exist on this board. fixed HA! Good Fun!

am with you on this. am not getting how the "goldman-sachs" response became the reflexive argument to counter trump's reluctance to provide tax returns. trump supporters wanna see transcripts? ok. fine. how on earth does that diminish the value and relevance o' trump's tax returns? why don't trump supporters wanna see his tax returns? got a businessman with no political experience running for President. so... tax returns. HA! Good Fun!

Let me guess....the people who claim she is unqualified are......Trump and GOP supporters ? clinton has experience. is not same as being qualified. to once again mention the foreign policy blunders o' the obama administration would be a dead end in a discussion with bruce. am sorry, but you do a mighty fine ostrich impression when it comes to foreign policy blunders o' the obama administration. has had same discussion multiple times and you always wanna start it anew. sorry, but is true. like it or not, clinton were involved in those foreign policy gaffes. *shrug* that being said, as 'tween clinton and trump, we would choose clinton... particularly 'cause trump's grasp o' foreign policy issues is misinformed to the point where it is actual frightening to consider ramifications o' President Trump. alternatively, trump positions on foreign relations ain't genuine and is tailored to resonate with a large number o' angry and ignorant americans who simple like to hear a candidate who talks tough and simple, which don't make us feel any better. clinton's qualifications may be terrible, but trump is the alternative... and gd mentioning johnson as an option is gonna necessarily be a bit muted given the 3rd party candidate's recent public bafflement. we got choices, none o' which is appealing. regardless, clinton does have experience, but that don't make her qualified. HA! Good Fun! ps if kgambit or others wanna fight with bruce 'bout US foreign policy mistakes o' the last 8 years, so be it, but we has done the groundhog day shtick too many times for it to be funny.

No I didnt because it would be unfair to scrutinize either candidate's history in this way and then judge them on this type of past action Things like the email scandal matter to me And I am being balanced, I could post daily inconsistencies of things Trump says that are inaccurate but I only post the " big " things he says Are you really saying that a candidate's past performance in business and/or government isn't pertinent in judging their qualifications for POTUS? Or is that just a convenient excuse that lets you sweep uncomfortable things under the rug? this election is weird... weirder. oh sure, all major elections track away from the issues and from actual candidate qualifications, but this Presidential election has predictable devolved to the point where the major topics being debated is candidate health and whether trump or clinton is the bigger jerk. other than broad-stroke ideological differences, the American people appear little concerned 'bout qualifications o' the candidates. that ain't shocking or different than in the past elections save for the degree to which qualifications has been marginalized. as you note, past performance in business and government would seeming be relevant, but mention tax returns and trump supporters sneer... and is no better for clinton folks. weird. HA! Good Fun! ps tax returns

is gonna be pvp players who is very unhappy 'bout the form removal. assassin/shadow, powertech/vanguard and juggernaut/guardian tanks has been using dps gear on their tanks and switching forms as is advantageous since... well, since hybrid builds were removed. to a lesser degree, pvp sages and sorcerers has also benefited from the ability to switch forms. well, thanks for the info. HA! Good Fun!

it annoys us that our tomato soups, with almost few exceptions, taste better when we use canned tomatoes. wth. unless we go through the effort o' actual roasting our tomatoes, it is our experience that canned tomatoes is superior for our soup. am not certain why that admission bothers us so much, but it does. our roasted red pepper and tomatoes soup that is actual superior with fresh tomatoes is simple. roast the red pepper (cored and halved), tomatoes (cored and halved), garlic (skinned) and onion (skinned and quartered) with a little (too much) olive oil. puree vegetables, any roasting pan drippings and brown stuff, plus a couple seeded chipotle peppers. add stock and heat... bit o' salt and a smidgen o' sugar if is too acidic. cilantro or basil both compliment well. but this is pretty much our only recipe for tomato soup that requires fresh tomatoes. weird. HA! Good Fun!
