  1. Ðhat is a þorny problem, fer sher.
  2. This, right here. Soda, pop, soda pop, coke, cocola... I gave up and commenced to calling it "fizzy water"...
  3. First, proper plural is "yous" (spent time in Northeast Yankeeland). Second, "ye" appears to be an ongoing copying error. The actual word in original documents was ðe, using the symbol "eth", which is a "hard" or "voiced" th-sound, as in this, that, and other, but not with. The transliteration of a "y" in place of the "eth" is understandable. Thees and thous in the bible translations attest that the mis-take was not universal.
  4. Heisman Calibur is a decent band name, for a football town. You've spelt scoth incorrectly.
  5. Quite a lot of really excellent choices here. I approve of most of them as "Greats". But the top... Never a doubt: it's Carlin.
  6. No one knows, and/or no one's telling. For $9.95, some one will tell you some thing.
  7. Wrong. The discussion would be far mnore appropriate in the Quinn Ewers thread.
  8. Timeline notwithstanding, history will show that the truly great Artist of the Twentieth Century was Salvador Dalí. There was no Gala - it was always Miz Armybrat.
  9. It's why we celebrate your oeuvre.
  10. Quoted for Absolute Truth
  11. This seems to be a decent move for Sam. Gruntled.
  12. ESPN killed five stories?
  13. They key here being "since"...
  14. Why do you hate Methodists?
  15. If nothing else, Parker Livingstone is the Whitest Name we've had on the two-deep since Carrington Byndom.
  16. I still blame Mack for not convincing Vince to stick around for his Heisman and another Crystal Ball.
  17. Either your son, or yourself, has not been trained in any Art if PhotoGraphy at all - not to mention Attention to Pattern Recognition.
  18. Is there something in this picture you'd prefer your son not see?
  19. Tell us you can't lick your balls without telling us you can't lick your balls.
  20. There were shits in our tents, the night the bear went after the bag we hung in a tree. Turned out what he wanted was a tube of Colgate.

    Getting old sucks

    Had cataract surgery in right eye on 3/25. No problems, pain less than my monthly AMD med needle in eyeball, so not unhappy there. Second day now (3/27). No pain at all. The main thing I notice is that the "background" color of life is a brighter and whiter in the new lens eye than in the old (also with a cataract to be removed in three weeks, yellower and not as bright). So, that's good, and expected. Eye quack said it would be fuzzy for a couple or few days, but damn, it's a hell of a lot fuzzier than before. That, and the fact that colors are in fact not brighter. I don't recall there being much color difference before, but the old eye is definitely "better: color at this point... I get the fuzzy part, but the color thing is kind of bothersome. I mean, looking at the furniture in this room, it's mostl red leather and brown, and the red is noticeably brighter in the still-cataracted eye. I was thinking colors would be brighter, but... maybe it's just that the yellowish lens adds to red more than the clear lens does. Oh, well... guess I'll see in a few days, uhhhhm literally. If the fuzzy goes away I'll be a happy camper.
  22. Change "Foot Massage" to "Pedicure" and you got a deal.
