Will they also let them throw the ball for the "kick-off" instead of physically kicking it?

I wanna know when polka will get its turn as the SB halftime entertainment.

I gave you a little green "invite" for this...pretty funny!

RAAAAAW

Dang...I had my money on Jethro Tull and Chicago.

WWHFD?

Tailgating delicacy? We're always looking for a tradition to call our own. I'm just sayin'...

Soooo...more like Family Guy?

I know this was posted in the WW Tavern, but thought I'd bring it into the "light" a little more. Sun Belt board I thought dahbeed's post about halfway down is the best so far...he summed up the GMG board nicely: unt board: probably one of the 'wittiest' boards i've read. it's like you walk in the middle of a seinfield episode and they all get the joke and you fake laugh but you know half of it went right over your head. (hates 'em some smu too) I've now got a new signature.

I like my GMG humor just like I like my underwear...extra dry.

Hey...boredom at work can do strange things to person's psyche. But I won't apologize...hell, if millions can find NASCAR entertaining, me finding entertainment in listening to the Ticket can't be all that strange.

I won't disagree with you about the Hardline...I listen to the for sheer entertainment, not deep sports knowledge. Corby's thought was that this may push Texas to become independent soon. He threw out 2 years, but it was probably hyperbole used in the context of an informal discussion they were having. $30M a year in total TV revenue is much higher than their conference mates and larger than any other single school in the nation (I believe). Might it push OU and/or A&M to seriously look at the SEC?

Corby on the Hardline just reported a new TV deal between Texas and ESPN: Texas/ESPN deal Corby's predicting the conference will be dead in 2 years...a litte extreme (but accurate?).

But that's why I loathe it...no matter how hard I resist getting involved in the poo-fling-fest that is political discussion, eventually my will power gives and I lash out with a post or two (I try to keep them short and sarcastic though). It's a character flaw that my therapist and I are working on.

Don't forget common sense: Snopes review of the story I loathe the return of Fox News commentary to the Eagles Nest

Looks like you and I are representing our entire time zone.

Well...unprecedented since 1948. But don't let historic facts get in the way of you and your party's celebration. Congratulations to them...now the work continues as we as a nation keep digging out of the recession.

Some of the signs seen at the rally (per a blog entry by a CNN journalist): • God Hates Nags • The Rant Is Too Damn High • Restrain the Craziness • Civil War was an Inside Job • Texans for Staying in the Union • Obama: At Least He Isn't James Buchanan • Hitler was Hitler • Want Less Government? Move to Somalia (not that there's anything wrong with that...) • Real Patriots Can Handle a Difference of Opinion • Real Americans Don't Use the Term 'Real Americans' • I read the Constitution for the Articles • I Masturbate and I Vote • Moderate to the Extreme • Palin and Pelosi: Both Nice Ladies

Who in this story is the hottest, the wife or the secretary?

I heart you.

No...I think the problem is that this system was set up PERIOD. I think local government services of fire, police, and schools are the best (and most successful) examples of social services working for the people. Are they perfect? No and they can greatly vary in their success from location to location. Healthcare is a "national" thing as it stands right now...so you're stretching to make your anti-healthcare point. Maybe socialized medicine would work better on a local level given the better connection with the constituents. With that, I would probably agree. Concerning the fire service: Not knowing the background of how and why this system was put into place, it sounds like either the city's fire service should have been extended to all those in the county outside of the city limits (blanket coverage voted on by those citizens and supported by their extra tax revenue) or those outside of the city limits should have a volunteer service established that could offer them some measure of protection. That's my own uneducated thoughts, though. I'd like to hear FFR's educated opinion on this "pay for spray" program.
