    There's no way he saw a carrier pigeon.

    more mountain lions!

    I'll bet a dolphin is pound-for-pound more powerful than a mountain lion.

    False. Ants are the most powerful creatures pound-for-pound on the planet. An 80-pound ant would destroy an 80-pound mountain lion.

    This post is a lot funnier if you picture this guy saying it:

    Leach Fired

    If your boss tells you to go home, you lose a day's pay (or sick leave). If the coach tells a player to go home, the player gets a day off from practice. That's not exactly the same level of punishment.

    Leach Fired

    In the real world, your boss would send you home and tell you to take a day of sick leave or go unpaid. That's not really applicable to college football. Otherwise, in the real world as long as you're getting paid you suck it up and do what the boss says (as long as it's legal) or you quit.

    Snowblowers

    Don't buy from Home Depot. I bought a snowblower from them that fell apart the second time I used it, and Home Depot wouldn't do anything to help me. I'd recommend buying a snowblower from a place that will service it too.

    Al Franken- NO ITS NOT POLITICAL, MODS!!

    I think I saw him do this a long time ago on SNL to show how Dukakis could win the 1988 election. That election didn't turn out the way he drew it.

    Track Phones

    TracFone Coverage | Wireless Coverage Map | TracFone Prepaid Wireless You mean a TracFone? I had one about eight years ago. I intensely hated it because you had to buy minutes every month or two to keep your phone active (which seemed to defeat the purpose of a pay as you go system). I let...

    Official Winter Storm Thread for 12/21 - 12/26

    Still just wet and rainy here in Johnston. I'm getting tired of just hearing about how bad this storm will be, I'm ready for it to slam into us.

    Top Christmas Gifts for Boys from the 1990s

    This was more late 80's than 90's, but does anyone remember Captain Power? YouTube - 1988 Captain Power Video Game If I remember right, the idea was to shoot your gun/plane at the targets that popped up while watching the show on video or in syndication. It sounded unbelievably cool for the...

    Top Christmas Gifts for Boys from the 1990s

    The Top 20 Christmas Gifts (For Boys) from the 1990s I had forgotten about some of these. That Crossfire commercial is pure awesome.

    Salt and Sand now or wait?

    If it's not slick now, I'd say don't worry about it. If a customer goes out during or right after a snow/ice storm, then that customer is taking a risk that it's slick out. Not that that would stop the customer from suing you if he falls, but it would mean they wouldn't have a good claim...

    Beagles are extremely stubborn. Keep it in the kennel, and it should get used to it eventually.

    Sorry. Might be good starters.

    Big Z as a Bronx Bomber.....?

    I think you've bought into the ESPN hype of Yankee prospects. Zambrano for a platoon-quality OF plus two middle relievers who might be good someday sounds like a fair trade to me. Of course it's all moot now.

    Red Light Camera

    I understand the whole foundation, but I'm not sure that the city would need to do anything special to show that the camera was working. I would think that the mere fact that the camera produced a video lays the foundation that the camera was working. You can then watch the video to determine...
