Yes, and Chuck Norris would be really badass if he knew a thing or two about martial arts. :icon_wink:

The use of the term "throw them under the bus" has officially out lived the term "throw them to the wolves". Somebody please come up with another one now.:bigcry:

How about "transferred them to ULM?"
As in,
Boy, Jerry Jones really transferred Wade Philips to ULM when he blamed him for last week's loss.

i've always liked the classic "sold them down the river," but people who have never read mark twain may not understand the reference. i think we should start using inudesu's idea in conversation and see where it goes.

I'm working from home today. There's a special feeling about doing engineering on your own couch.

Picked up Stephen King's The Stand for the first time the other day (only about 1,000 pages to go:().
Decent so far, but I will say it isn't something you want to begin reading while fighting off a cold.

No, but I do have some Tostitos and some salsa and a nice big glass of Publix sweet tea.

I edited this post to correct the spelling, but it makes me wonder what idiot decided that "transferred" needed an extra "r."
I guess it was the same moron who formalized the spelling of llama.
Why, oh why, is our language so stupid?
Re: Comments That Don't Warrant A Thread
Was the BHO thing yesterday a historical moment or an historical moment? I've seen and heard both. Grammar police?
Found it! an goes before words beginning with a vowel ( I knew that one), but also before words beginning with a silent h. Since the h in historical is NOT silent, those who have been using an historical moment are dumb arses.
The above post is written mostly to aggrevate Inudesu.

According to this site, I guess the key is how you pronounce "historical." I think it should be an historical but I could see where someone who regularly drops their h's would say it the other way (British accent?).
