Mr. Matusz was certain he could make one and kept getting farther away.Quote:

Three weeks tomorrow. Nobody has really noticed or said anything. I didn't use a spit cup very often so maybe my habit wasn't that noticable. It's still tough and a little encouragement would help.:icon_wink:Quote:

Congrats my friend. You are well on your way. I chew gum a lot now. Perhaps that is a good alternative. Also, tic tacs.Quote:

My grandfather was a smoker until the 60s or 70s. He worked shifts, and he got home after a 3-11 one night, out of cigarettes. There were no 24-hour convenience stores at that time and place, and his craving kept him up all night. True to his character, instead of buying cigs when the shops opened, he got pissed! He was NOT going to let something have that much control over him!
Unfortunately, he switched to chewing tobacco, which eventually led to the throat cancer that killed him at a fairly young (considering his otherwise good health and activity level) age of 77.
Sometimes I wish the avatar and post-count were retained as what they were when a post was made. It would be an interesting record of folks' evolution on the message board.

My nephew was born 7/7/7 and his sister was born 9/7/9, so they almost had a similar phenomenon in their family.
I wonder how much I'd have to pay Tech for them to let me hook up a Wii to Dawgzilla and play games during the offseason?

Watching Mythbusters tackle the idiom "When S*** hits the fan" with a vertical fan. Maybe I am over-thinking this but isn't the idiom usually referring to a level of S that is rising and eventually hits a ceiling fan?
That was always my thinking. Someone heaving it upwards into a ceiling fan, spreading it around the room.Quote:

I decided to change my avatar. So if you will go to the football page, there is a poll to allow everyone to vote on what my new one should be.
Also, i realize that this comment in-fact has warranted its own thread, however, I felt like posting it here for all subscribers to see.
Shak Lucas is going to be a very good dlineman before he's done here.
I really like our line with him, Hitt, IK, and Broha. Get Lacraig Brown in the mix next year with a healthy Jellybean.. look out.

I'm gonna try to use that in a sentence today.
And with the Tenn/USC game on, i might even get to use it before lunch.
1. Drove to the store to get a 9v battery.
2. Put the new battery in the electronic device and found that it was also dead.
3. Decided to read the instructions to the device (carbon monoxide detector) and learned that it makes the same "chirp" sound to warn that you are in danger of dying from Co poisoning as a typical smoke detector makes to let you know your battery is weak.
4. I opened the vent on the fireplace and now I have a spare 9v battery.

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!Quote:

To say it sucked is an insult to the quality of all movies which have sucked before.

I said, "yeah that is from The Chronic." My sister-in-law says "oh, you mean the old Chronic, all the songs I know are from the new Chronic."
Several layers of irony/amusement working here.
1. Former SBC missionary/seminary grad debating Dr Dre albums with a former sorority girl. This is like a ULM fan and an LSU fan debating nuclear physics.
2. My brother pointed out that even though he knew we were talking about cds, it was unnerving to hear his wife and brother comparing the old chronic to the new chronic.
3. I felt old.
So, I was in West Monroe last weekend. It has been a couple of years since I've hungout in W.M. or Ruston, but dayum every woman I saw was smoking hot. You don't see that in Shreveport. I miss college.
I fired someone yesterday. First time I've ever had to do that.
It was not fun and not easy. I really, really hated it.

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

2. there seems to be more references to Christmas than the PC Happy Holidays.
my only observation from my limited exposure to the parade this morning: my wife's aunt saying, "look, kids, it's square pants bob pants!"Quote:

The Adidas unis Tennessee wears look like they got the iron on numbers from a craft store.
mmmmmmm, leftover deep-fried turkey, swiss cheese, and dijon mustard on homemade white bread, lightly toasted...
Adidas products overall seem to be turnin to crap. With Nike's overall dominance getting even bigger and Under Armour's rise, Adidas products just seem to have been getting worse and worse.Quote:

Headline says it all. I pass by this restaurant every single day on my way to work.
So I've gotten involved in volunteering some time at a few local schools around here. Today I took some vacation time to hang out with a Jr. High science class and launch 2L bottle rockets. I bought a PVC made launch pad on ebay. The kids built their rockets with a (fictional) budget with the purpose of keeping it in the air as long as possible. Part of that budget was PSI in the bottle, so the more you spent on materials the less pressure you got in the bottle.
It was fun to see their different ideas. This was their first experience in dealing with a budget and having to plan out a project ahead of time.
See, dare dey go again.... the Govemint out to get everyone. Can't just let people live their lives....Quote:
