Winners are playing next weekend, the LOSERS are cleaning out their lockers.
From Webster’s Dictionary for English language learners dictionary. A really great book one might call it a standard in definitions, you may want to read it on occasion, accept what it has to say to you and remove this veil of confusion that seems to surround you.loser
los·er /ˈlu:zɚ/ noun
plural los·ers
[count] 1 : someone or something that loses a game, contest, etc. -
If you haven’t read Jim DeMint’s Op Ed yet, you should.
One lesson I learned in marketing is that, for consumers and voters, perception is reality.
November’s election results and exit polls suggest that a majority of Americans agree that government does too much yet still voted for more of it. The election taught conservatives that we can no longer entrust political parties to carry our message. -
Lady GagGag manages to push the bar even lower. I really don’t get it about her/it, nor do I want to. I think its popularity is a symptom of social dysfunction in this country and others who sell out its shows.

Squak: losers do not make it to the playoffs, winners do. I did not say that they won the big enchilada, clearly they did not, that does not mean that they did not have a winning season. They won their division did they not, does that not make them a winner? Continue to focus on that 15% of the glass that is not full, that is what losers do.
-
It’s all rigged. The TV networks put up the money and they get to decide who will play in the big game – it’s just that simple.

Foster thanked Cydney Bernard, a production manager whom she identified as “my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life,” her former partner of 20 years — a relationship she never hid and from which she has two sons.
I don’t particularly care who Ms. Foster bumps uglies with. Just quit trying to perpetrate biological fraud. It offends my scientific sensibilities.

Lovely and AB came over for dinner last night. We’ve invited them before, but they turned us down for various reasons, but then during the afternoon Lovely asked if we wanted them to come over for dinner. It turns out they wanted to pick Hubby’s brains about a house they are looking at buying, which to which they’d like to make changes, should they buy it.
Even though they had an ulterior motive, it was still good to see them. I truly miss hugging my daughter. -
#12: It is insulting on many different levels.
-
They won enough to make it to the playoffs and then they lost. They did not reach their goal for this year because they lost when it counted. This years opportunity is lost never to be regained. They have lost the opportunity to proceed further in the contest. Therefore they are L O S E Rs. Yeah they won the division title. Big whoop. So what? They did not win THE PRIZE. They lost.
I can see what your problem is Bonezz. You are spending way to much time staring at glasses of water. You may want to expand your horizons to something a little greater. -
Yep, the networks didn’t want to see Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers anymore.

I think I have one stuck in the spit bucket.

#12: It is insulting on many different levels.
How can “yew” be insulted? She is a parent with two kids and she might have well been married if only you homophobes would have let her. I would think you would believe her glass was half full or some trite crap like that, therefore a winner.
-
I think I have one stuck in the spit bucket.
Now THAT is a winner.
-
I agree with Bonecrusher. So they lost the big prize, they had a winning season and, from what I understand, improved over last year. Overall, they had a good year, and I wouldn’t want to take anybody’s achievement away from them.
Be disappointed, if you wish. I’m sure they are. But while I may not call them “winners,” I certainly wouldn’t call them “losers,” either.
These guys work hard and risk physical danger to play a sport they love and provide entertainment and lots of money for other people. If they have a good season, I applaud their efforts and wish them well for next year. -

Second place is simply the winner among the losers.

A Houston Sports Fan’s lament:
-
Tedtam
I am not taking anything a way from their achievement
they improved (sorta)
they did have a good year if one wants to quantify it
But from that point we split. A goal was set and they fell short. The better teams are moving forward, the losers are going home. Next weekend more winners and losers will be determined, ya see -
Win, place, or show. We showed.

Other than the first two AFL championships (won by the Oilers) and the two Rockets titles (won by default because King Jordan abdicated the throne for two years) Houston professional sports have been a lonely affair.

Lastros went to the World Series.
-
And got killed.
-
#37 Which means that they won their league, which makes them winners up to that point. Those that do not win their league do not get to advance to the World Series, that year the Lastros had a winning season even though they did not win the ultimate prize.
I would much rather have a team make it to the Stupor bowl or the World series and lose than never even make it to the playoffs. -
To those who asked, thanks for asking. It’s a mess. I’ll tell you about it sometime when I’m feeling a little better.

War effort proceeds as huge Texas base is activated
January 14, 1942
On this date in 1942, Camp Hood was activated. The temporary camp, named for Confederate general John Bell Hood, is now one of the largest military bases in the world. It been continuously used for armored training. By 1950 it was Fort Hood. Units from Hood have contributed significantly to all important overseas United States military actions since 1942. The installation, the largest piece of Texas owned solely by the federal government, has also been critically important economically and socially in the Killeen area. -

(Reuters) – Al Qaeda-linked Islamist rebels launched a counter-offensive on Monday in central Mali after four days of air strikes by French warplanes on their strongholds in the desert north, promising to drag France into a long and brutal Afghanistan-style ground war.
France intensified its air raids on Sunday using Rafale aircraft and Gazelle attack helicopters to pummel training camps at the heart of the vast area seized by rebels in April, while pouring hundreds of troops into the capital Bamako.
French planes were in action again on Monday. -

I WANT MY LANGUAGE BACK!!
One of the problems we have in this country is along with the Constitution the meaning of words has been tossed out to. People get all fixated about someone being called a loser is a good example. Boneface’s lame attempt to take a shot at me implying I am a negative person with his glass analogy is typical reaction of what I see today. It is not the teams self esteem that I gored, Boneface it is yours. All because you read into my statement something that was not there. I can find greater causes than this to defend btw.
Mass touchy feely, group grope junk think makes me ill.
The greater point is that there are winners and losers but losing does not imply a person or group is bad. i never implied that Bohnezz, you just saw what you wanted to see. They simply lost.

I’m ’bout ready to say that we give 100% support to Israel and let all them others have at it. If they try to mess with us, turn their sand into glass. Don’t give me the precious oil bit for two reasons. ONE, I lived and thrived on ARAMCO’s money for several years with no repercussions. They will continue to sell us oil at OPEC prices And TWO, we have 20 years of crude below our feet, all we need to do is go get it. (course we need to have a different White House to do that, but that can be done.) -

#46 Shannon: This is the first topo map of Mali that I could find. Here is one for Afghanistan. The terds in Mali don’t have as many places to hide as they do in Afghanistan, as such they will be much easier targets. This does not mean that they will refrain from using the civilians as human shields, as they most likely will use them and any other cover they can manage.

Schumer: Retailers Should Suspend Some Gun Sales
NEW YORK (AP) – Sen. Charles Schumer says retailers that sell assault weapons should stop offering them for purchase while Congress discusses gun regulation legislation.
Schumer on Sunday released a letter he sent to major retailers asking for a voluntary moratorium.
The New York Democrat says consumer demand for guns has gone up in the weeks since the December mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Schumer says Congress is debating the issue, and if measures get passed that limit these type of weapons, it won’t help if more of them have recently been sold.http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/schumer-gun-sales/LAdD1W3rCkWPC8yWnvxu8A.cspx
That would be precisely why they’re selling like hotcakes. Is he off his meds again? -

from my inbox. I have not verified the numbers.
The Numbers Are Now Talking
Sometimes you just cannot argue with the numbers. If these numbers are correct and true, the USA has bigger problems on their hands other than who was elected President.
From Bill O’Reilly’s message board:
Most everyone suspected fraud, but these numbers prove it and our government and media refuse to do anything about it.
As each state reported their final election details, the evidence of voter fraud is astounding. Massive voter fraud has been reported in areas of OH and FL, with PA, WI and VA, all are deploying personnel to investigate election results.
Here are just a few examples of what has surfaced with much more to come.
* In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama
received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for
Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).
* In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of
the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their
polling locations – and not one single vote was recorded for Romney.
(Another statistical impossibility).
* In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only
98,213 eligible voters.
* In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered
eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.
* The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie
County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.
* Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.
* In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of
eligible voters.
NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.
Imagine that!NO wonder the Ds are so vehemently opposed to photo voter ID.

The greater point is that there are winners and losers but losing does not imply a person or group is bad. i never implied that Bohnezz, you just saw what you wanted to see. They simply lost.
They lost and yet they still advanced to the playoffs, really? THEY HAD TO WIN TO ADVANCE. I guess that may be too nuanced for you but you know words actually mean something. You claim you want the language back yet seem to be unwilling to use it fully. The losers did not advance to the playoffs, the winners did. On balance, they had a winning season this year BECAUSE THEY ADVANCED TO THE PLAYOFFS, unlike their first few which were losing seasons.
Oh? So you settle for second best. That explains a lot.
I like 2nd a whole lot better than last. This does not mean that I do not strive for #1, it does not mean that I am a loser if I do not achieve #1 status, it does not mean that I will give up because I did not achieve #1, it does not mean that I will not try to improve. The word loser implies failure, 2nd place (or 5th for that matter) out of 40 or however many teams there are does not imply failure.

It must really suck to have your self esteem so wrapped up in a football team to waste so much space trying to save face.
They lost, they are losers ergo ……………………….. -
I really couldn’t care less about pro football. I might have watched a total of 15 minutes this year. You say you want the language back but do a poor job using it. I have no self esteem wrapped in pro football, ZERO, ZIP, NADA. It is you who are misusing the language or being ridiculously narrow and I am not the only one who sees it that way.

Good chilly morning Hamsters. Wintry 37 at 6, light mist borne on a northerly breeze, overcast so no starlight penetrates, generaly miserable. Could also be described as raw, but maybe that’s just a Midwestern term. Made it to 39 in the back yard at 11. Wow.

I think Slow Joe’s “Spread your legs” comment was to a female senator being sworn in. -
When I l hear the word “loser,” I think of someone who fails often or always. I’d hardly call the Texans’ season as a “losing season”. They didn’t do as well as we’d like, but they’re hardly bottom of the barrel, either.
“Loser” just sounds so harsh for the occasion. I find it hard to criticize them for having a winning season that took them to the playoffs. -
Who said I was criticizing? They joined the other losers that failed to advance. 🙂
-
It is sorta like staying up and playing poker all night and winning, but if at the end of the night ya go home with less cash than ya started out with…… well ya are a loser. I fail to see how ya could be called a winner. Nothing harsh about it at all.
Ya’ll be focusing on connotations of the word and I am focusing on an observable fact. There are winners and losers. In this case it happens to be the Texans who are the losers and the Pats the winners. -

That sorta breaks your whole argument.
If you were to consider those who went home with more cash to be winners, then there could be several winners – up to n-1 of them, where n = number of players. On the other hand, if you only consider the player who won the most to be a winner, then there would be only one, assuming that a tie-breaking mechanism were in place.
If we extend this analogy to pro football, then we can say that several teams were winners, i.e. those who had more wins than losses or made the playoffs. Alternatively, we could go by the strict definition, i.e. the winner of the upcoming Super Bowl. -

Nah, the whole second amendment/gun rights thing is a sham. Tell that to the Mexican citizens:
People in the area said about 800 residents were participating in the armed groups acting as unofficial police. The vigilantes ordered a 10 p.m. curfew for the two towns and are looking for suspected criminals. Schools have suspended classes.
In Ayutla, Romualdo Remigio Cantu, one of the coordinators for the civic group Union of Peoples and Social Organizations of Guerrero, said that more than 30 people had been arrested. The detainees are accused of drug trafficking, extortion and kidnapping, he said.
A man in a ski mask at one roadblock told reporters that townspeople had to act against criminals.
“They kill, extort, rape. You do not know if they are drug dealers, thugs, who want to grab everything,” he said. “We want to return peace and tranquility to the entire population. Only the people can restore order.”Only the people, eh? You mean, you’re not waiting for the government to fix it for you?
-
If we extend this analogy to pro football, then we can say that several teams were winners
Poker isn’t (usually) a team sport where the winner takes all. Except maybe hold’em.
-
Poker isn’t (usually) a team sport where the winner takes all. Except maybe hold’em.
The analogy still applies. We can observe the NFL season in its totality as an analogue to an evening of poker with some friends. The NFL season isn’t really winner-take-all; everyone gets some piece of the action on their way home. Some get a bigger piece than others just as some poker players go home with more change in their bag than others.
-
Hell y’all get mad at me for pointing out that they are losers by virtue of the fact the lost, get mad at this guy. I ain’t come no where near suggesting this.
Oh and then there is this quote:“Losing, I can’t stand it,” Watt said. “I can’t stand any aspect of it.”
Or howsabout this
‘Whenever the season ends, no matter when, it’s really hard,” tight end Owen Daniels said. ”The farther along you get, the harder it is to take. It’s one we wanted to win really bad. It’s tough to swallow … but one team gets to have a smile on their face at the end of the season, and it’s not us this year.”
Sure does not appear to me that they are claiming to be a “winner”
IN FACT “J.J. Watt Happened” Seems to agree with me
J.J. Watt: Texans’ season wasn’t a success“I don’t see it as a success. We don’t have a trophy, so it’s not a success,” he said. “If you don’t have a trophy, you’re not a success. We will work hard this offseason and put all we have into it and try to come back next year with that trophy on our minds.”
Watt said he was grateful to teammates and thanked fans for their support, but he added, “I feel like I let those people down. I feel like they deserve better.
“We gave everything we had. We left it all on the field, but we came up short. To me, success in this league is a trophy, and we came back empty-handed.”Oh and then there is Andre Johnson
“When you get back to the same spot, you think you’ll be able to overcome the things you went through last year,” receiver Andre Johnson said. “But we got back to the same spot, and we weren’t able to overcome them. The ultimate goal is to win the championship, and we didn’t do it.”
So if you do not win you lost no? Losers.
Oh and Boh-nezz it seems the Texans agree with me about accepting second best too.

Oh c’mon. surely you can do better than that. -
The fact remains that for most football teams, the goal is to get into the playoffs. One big reason for that is that they end up making more money if they do.
Getting to the playoffs is the payoff. How far you get in the playoffs determines tha mount of the payoff.
In football, only losers get early draft picks. -
Poker is not a sport. The only thing the Texans can legitimately say they won was the AFC South and a Wild Card game.

Actually the whine is a valid complaint. It has gotten the point in this country where you do not dare say anything at all for fear of hurting someones feeeellllliiiingggs.

The Intolerant Brigayde strikes again:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP) — A new chapter in America’s moral revolution came today as Atlanta pastor Louie Giglio withdrew from giving the benediction at President Obama’s second inaugural ceremony. In a statement released to the White House and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, Giglio said he withdrew because of the furor that emerged yesterday (Jan. 9) after a liberal watchdog group revealed that almost 20 years ago he had preached a sermon in which he had stated that homosexuality is a sin and that the “only way out of a homosexual lifestyle … is through the healing power of Jesus.”
In other words, a Christian pastor has been effectively disinvited from delivering an inaugural prayer because he believes and teaches Christian truth.
…
Second, we should note that Pastor Giglio’s sermon was, as we would expect and hope, filled with grace and the promise of the Gospel. Giglio did not just state that homosexuals are sinners — he made clear that every single human being is a sinner, in need of the redemption that is found only in Jesus Christ. “We’ve got to say to the homosexuals, the same thing that I say to you and that you would say to me … It’s not easy to change, but it’s possible to change,” he preached. He pointed his congregation, gay and straight, to “the healing power of Jesus.” He called his entire congregation to repent and come to Christ by faith.
That is the quintessential Christian Gospel. That is undiluted biblical truth. Those words are the consensus of the church for over 2,000 years and the firm belief held by the vast majority of Christians around the world today.

The gauntlet was thrown down yesterday, and the ax fell today. Wayne Besen, founder of the activist group Truth Wins Out, told The New York Times yesterday: “It is imperative that Giglio clarify his remarks and explain whether he has evolved on gay rights, like so many other faith and political leaders. It would be a shame to select a preacher with backward views on LBGT people at a moment when the nation is rapidly moving forward on our issues.”
And there you have it — anyone who has ever believed that homosexuality is morally problematic in any way must now offer public repentance and evidence of having “evolved” on the question. This is the language that President Obama used of his own “evolving” position on same-sex marriage. This is what is now openly demanded of Christians today. If you want to avoid being thrown off the program, you had better learn to evolve fast, and repent in public. -
People like Prisco (whom I like) and Merril Hoge (meh) decided Tebow’s presence was beneath the NFL.
And maybe it is. But you know what? Tebow never got the chance to prove otherwise. Look, his 8-6 starting record is misleading, and we all know it, but at the same time it happened. His track record as a starter is that of a guy who wins. However it happens, it happens.
Brady Quinn’s record as an NFL starter is 4-16. Bruce Gradkowski is 6-14. Matt Leinart, 8-10.
Tim Tebow is 8-6.
Kellen Clemens is 4-8. Chad Henne, 14-23. The brothers McCown, Luke and Josh, are a combined 15-27.
Tim Tebow is 8-6.
Tyler Thigpen is 1-12.
Those guys will have a job in 2013 if they want it. So will Tebow, I guess, if he switches to tight end. That way, when Matt Leinart drops back and throws it to him, at least a real quarterback with a real quarterback’s throwing motion will be bouncing the ball in the dirt. -
From the YCMTSU department re: Squawk’s #94, the article by Mike Freeman proclaiming the Texans as “the biggest fraud in all the NFL”:
A longtime New York Times sportswriter who left to join the Indianapolis Star has resigned from his new job after admitting that he falsified his résumé.
Mike Freeman, who covered professional football and basketball and did investigative reporting at the Times, apologized for telling the Star that he was a graduate of the University of Delaware. He said he attended the school for four years but did not graduate. -
C’Mon Boh-nezz
Let’s bury the hatchet and for the sake of the couch lets act like we are friends. I mean c’mon man yanno -
#124: I strive for clarity, information and humor, you OTOH, seem to strive for stirring the pot and deliberately misinterpreting what is written. It is actually very shamaalish and unbecoming, I really do not like participating on that level.

Something I might enjoy watching.
While I sometimes think that Squawk goes overboard in pounding on 2 of his fellow Hamsters, your comment above was much worse.

#126: IF anyone were so stupid as to call a pro football player a loser after advancing to the playoffs, I would enjoy watching the consequences for said stupid action take place.

Well, I guess that I missed the fun, got REAL busy this afternoon, my big amplifier blew up during a test around 3:30 but I leaped into action and got a big bandaid on it to finish up by 5:30. In the morning I’ll patch it up and we’ll be good to go.

So now I am stupid huh? Oh little sweet little babboo. Did big bad Squawkie tweak ums little ego. Poor baby maybe momma can can get you some ipecac for your widdle tummy ache.
You are a pathetic little man Mr. Crusher. You strive so hard to show your intelligence but the more you flap your gums the more you show your ignorance. You cannot handle anyone disagreeing with you in any form especially when you can hide behind anonymity of the interwebs and offer up veiled threats. You are a coward. Nothing more, nothing less. You have a foul filthy mouth and frankly I have absolutely no respect for you what so ever.
I started this conversation with you in a good natured manner but nope you had to wet your diaper and get all upset. Yup a little little pathetic little man.
Grow up little boy. -

And getting him to say something like that was the entire purpose of the exercise.
Because its, you know—funny. -
We are all adults and need not let ourselves be goaded into bitter arguments. On the other hand, the rule of the playground is, if you can’t take it, then don’t dish it out.
-
Or is that the rule of the jungle? I forget which.

This is misrepresenting what is written? Muhwahahahahahahah
loser
los·er /ˈlu:zɚ/ noun
plural los·ers
[count] 1 : someone or something that loses a game, contest, etc.Where did i misrepresent anything? You tossed out the accusation.
And humor? I tried to smooth over your hurt feeling with 3 vidiots. You would not know humor if it slapped you in the mush. -

There’s some folks out there who never get the hint that certain behaviours are distasteful, even when they find out that more than a couple people have noticed that he’s a jerk. -

It is called NIGYSOB. I really was not intending on getting carpal finger syndrome today arguing over something this trite. Some of us play the game well and others….. not so much. -
Of course, the big difference between jerks and the good people they act the jerk towards is that the jerk will continue to be a jerk long after his victim has had the good sense to back off.
-
I know humor.
The picture at the top is pretty darned funny. -
There’s some folks out there who never get the hint that certain behaviours are distasteful, even when they find out that more than a couple people have noticed that he’s a jerk.
Why izzit that the person who is usually considered the jerk (me) simply has a dissenting opinion or refuses to back down from their position, which in this case I stated over and over again to my opponent who was not my opponent till he decided he was my opponent.
BTW he indicated that he was my opponent when he decided to take a shot at my character. -
I did not intend to launch a new skirmish tonight.
NIGYSOB — isn’t that what got Tarantino into trouble?? -

Wow.
I just sewed two pieces of cloth together. -

I never get tired of this joke. Two Nobel prize winning economists walk into a press conference on the economy…
Paulie K is in good company. -
Dang;
I just fixed that underquilt I got grom the guy who got fed up messing with it. four inches of stiching, then reverse.
This thing really works. -
Nobel Prize is itself a joke in most fields now.

Thoughts and prayers to you. I do hope they get tot he root of your troubles soon. One step at a time though I guess. -
Bad Squawkie.
Great. He’s moody too.

For the record: living with / dealing with, and absolutely loving my Niki (and now my Janisen (she’s of age)) there ain’t no one I can’t deal with once a month. Bring it on!!!

I didn’t realize that Santana used to be that young. 🙂
Also, I guess Santana at some point in his career he began to sing his own songs. I’ve known that song for years but never realized it was Santana. -
MSNBC’s Martin Bashir condemns those who compare gun control laws to Nazi Germany’s confiscation of weapons, then dutifully says, “if anyone deserves to be compared to Adolf Hitler, it’s the NRA.”
Some people are so ignorant of history it’s dumbfounding. But, than again, it’s the perception of it all, not necessarily the facts. Tis how liberals win and continue to win.
MSNBC Host: NRA Like Hitler -
My only regret about today is that i did not ask bonehead (way early in the argument) what he thought about the Pats had they lost. Would they be “winners” had they had been the losers of this game. Course now the answer would be tainted so I really do not care.

Flipping around and come across Moyers interviewing Kruugman.
Now there’s a bad joke.
