Well, possibly the most important holiday, at least for the secular world in the USA, has come and gone. The Super Bowl has been played. Congratulations to the Packers. Rush Limbaugh is licking his wounds and hoping that next year his beloved Steelers will do better.
I didn’t get to watch much of it. My favorite part was the eTrades commercial, with the baby reassuring his doctor. Too cute.
We had chalupas for dinner, not much else. No big party, no huge barbecue meal.
What about you?

#85 You don’t know what your talking about. Nonesense. The only possible way that is true is if their weed dealer lived right next to them. At least closer than the closest alcohol retailer. “Nonsense” my ass. “Only possible way”? Get real man. I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt, washed it, dried it, folded it, and put it… Read more »
No great surprise here, really; Palin has quietly backed the end of DADT and expressed support for conservative gays and lesbians in the past. Speaking here with David Brody from the Christian Broadcast Network and excerpted by Breitbart TV, Palin doesn’t endorse GOProud but does defend their attendance at CPAC, and argues that the value of events such as CPAC… Read more »
Alcohol retailers have incentives to check IDs. And so if the incentive to check ID isn’t the problem, then what is? From what my daughters have told me, it was far easier for them to buy weed than alcohol Nonesense. The only possible way that is true is if their weed dealer lived right next to them.

#83 Darren, I did my best to prepare my girls for the real world. Alcohol retailers have incentives to check IDs. From what my daughters have told me, it was far easier for them to buy weed than alcohol, and I credit that to the stupid war on a stupid plant. The authoritarian state of Texas still permits young (under… Read more »

Bob, did either or both of your girls get involved in minor-aged drinking?
Like Reagan, Palin’s considerable savvy, knowledge, and talent are often brushed aside and dismissed by the establishment ruling class, who either think they know better and are superior to Palin, or who often foolishly mistake a candidate’s eagerness and willingness to do favors for them, an “inside baseball” game Palin refuses to play, as the ultimate sign of competence or… Read more »

Email back and say, “YOU work here, don’t you?” Then I’m sure HR will get in touch with you promptly.

Both are applicable.

Did you mean gold-digging?
Jerry Jones was by golly gonna set the Supr Bowl’s all time attendance record no matter where he had to squeeze them, but turns out the idiocy will forever be an albatross around his neck. Poor Jerry. Fans shorted in seating controversy. As far as the victims go, I think they made out pretty good myself. Goodell has said the… Read more »
Michael Berry’s Snow in Houston parody was #3 in it’s category with YouTube thanks to all us who sent it around.
#69 Super Dave You might despise Arianna Huffington as the gold-bricking ho she has always been, but you must give her credit for crafting a deal in which it appears she is being bought out when, in fact, she is swallowing the whale. Dangerous woman there and she has done it all on the riches of a great Houstonian, Mr.… Read more »

Anyone got a cure for the wintertime blues? After the 4-5 days of freezing weather, I just haven’t snapped back and felt like life was good again. No physical complaints, just the blues.

Harsh but true.
Too funny; WIRE: ‘HUFFINGTON POST’ backers had sought an exit… The move, announced Monday, comes at a hefty premium. AOL is estimated to be paying 32 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for The Huffington Post, said Benchmark Co analyst Clayton Moran. Similar content deals, such as Hellman & Friedman’s acquisition of Internet Brands in September 2010, typically… Read more »

#64 – We should all count our blessings we aint that person’s spouse eh?
This person is very easily offended. If he thinks you should be offended but are not he will be offended for you. No kidding.
#61 Hamous, That offended employee has too much time on his/her hands and needs more work assigned….:)

Reply back: “Some tools are irreplaceable. Other tools are. Which are you?”
THEN they’ll report you to HR.
One of my duties is to communicate safety topics throughout the facility. We have monthly themes and this month is Hand Safety. Safety can be pretty dry so I like to mix it up. I have this poster scattered throughout the building. So I get into work this morning and have an email from an employee whining that he is… Read more »
Dude42, I knew it was in jest. I remember meeting your kids, and wish you and your better half the best with them in the coming years. So far so good with mine. But there have been some iffy moments along the way. I can offer no one-size-fits-all advice, but when they asked me about my past, be it sex,… Read more »
Nor do I, really. My comment was made in jest. As a father of two young kids (you met them both) I have very strong feelings on this issue.
Why did “Little Jerry” Seinfeld just pop into my head?
Better LINK for the cockfight.
Way past tense Like before Mick Jagger became a geriatric old coot.

The blade apparently severed a major artery in his right calf. The man, Jose Luis Ochoa, was fined $370 last year for… Read more »
#52 – Are ya yas only acceptable in past tense?
#52 I don’t think high schoolers should use cannabis, alcohol, or tobacco. Trouble is, cannabis retailers have no incentive to check IDs. At times I wished I had smoked it. The band nerds (some of whom did smoke) knew better, but because I changed schools mid year and looked older than I was, a few low lifes got the idea… Read more »
Well no wonder you’re so pro-legalization now. You didn’t get your ya yas out early on like most folks.
#38 Tedtam, re: Snack Shackers. I never smoked cannabis in high school. However… We did regularly skip classes. In the spring, the 18 member jazz band would “tour.” Meaning that we’d show up early for school, pack the seniors’ cars and trucks with our axes, and go play for an elementary or intermediate school. With such an early start we… Read more »

Odd thing is… What’s one thing you’ve never seen in a tree or on a roof?

A cat skeleton. 🙂
Ohhhhh… I see. Turns out Tedtam is one of those cheerleader H8R types. I get it now.

I always kinda figured the cats liked being put in trees. Why else would they have claws in the first place?
Ah, it sounds as if you were one of what we called “Snack Shackers”. There was a place across the street from the high school where students could play pool, get hamburgers, chips, etc., or just hang out. It was usually populated by the long haired and cigarette smoking crowd, which were not seen as a particularly accomplished group of… Read more »
Hmmm…
Plus, Fergie has cooties.
As far as half time shows go, I’m still a marching band girl. Give me a good marching band with 6-to-5 marching, precision routines, and I’m impressed. I’d rather watch my high school band (we were dang good) than any pop group at half time any day. Meh. There’s nothing wrong with a good pop band. Many are quite talented.… Read more »
PS to above – Maybe they can get Carley Fiorina on the management team to finish them off once and for all.
I can’t think of a much better union that AOL and Arianna. This might even top the Time Warner years in terms of a market disaster.
#39 Pervert! 😉
The first thing that popped in to mind was a cold or virus.
Sarge/Teftam, I was a primarily a music nerd, but when I could, I helped out with theater and speech tourneys. You don’t meet very many girls during football practice.

Me, too!
