go to http://www.etymonline.com/ and search s***.

Logic would say the hole in the floor was over a ceiling fan.

True. That would be the most logical location for the very illogical situation to occur.

Yeah, talk about s*** hitting the fan this year. When one of your most surprising players gets stabbed in the chest with a shattered bat, you know it's a bad season.

Yeah, Task Force Phoenix Warrior Transition Battlion at JBLM. We had our "town hall" today and he showed up with our hospital commander. The dude is huge and fit. If you didn't know who hesaws, you would think he currently plays football and is in his mid 20's to early 30's (whckngly, many people didn't, even the dumbasses behind me talking about college football). It really was an honor to meet him.

Researching grad schools, and I came across this and had to post it somewhere here considering what our sister school down south is attempting to do.

I volunteered to help clean up WMHS stadium in preparation for our little league football championships being held there today.

1. I will now be more aware of taking my own trash out after the game.

2. The waste is amazing! Maybe I'm old fashion, but I don't buy a kid a $3 drink unless they plan on drinking it or taking home what's left. I estimate that 1/3 of drinks purchased are thrown away.

It's amazing how many souvenir cups are left in the stands after Tech games. I stayed after one game and picked a bunch up. I got over 30 without having to leave the section I was in. Took them home, washed them (a few times) and now I have a nice supply of Tech cups!
