Comments That Don't Warrant A Thread

Hey, we did surgery this morning on a guy that had a 3 in. knife blade stuck in the side of his head...all the way to the handle. He's alive...so far.

Alright, so my cousin is 13 and yesterday had a bone marrow transplant. She has no memories before the cancer as this is her third bout. I went to visit her today. She was having moderate difficulty breathing and is constantly holding a bucket because she's still "getting sick" frequently and between all this, she started making fun of me for not hitting on her hot nurse.

I would like to know how these two people are doing today (or in the case of the first one, how he was doing when he left the hospital).

On a less serious note, I'd also like to know how this turned out.

GAAAAAHHHH!!

I just hooked a MONSTER in my back yard (on Desiard), must have been at least 6, 7 pounds. Got a real good look at him...

...then he bit off my rattle trap and swam away.

Done real good today. Pulled in 5 or 6, but I CANNOT let the day end with this behemoth having the upper hand. To Wal-Mart I go! I will have the last laugh, on this day...

I appreciate you asking.

Every single day is an adventure. She's no longer going through the chemo, which is good, but she has to actively monitor what she eats. Some days are better than others. The good news is, she got to go home and she's starting to do school work and stuff.

Madonna is worth over $600 million and ARod didn't pick her for her money. What's that all about?

Missionary position?

One of my shower curtains has a map of the world on it (if you are wondering why a clear plastic shower curtain from Wal-Mart isn't cutting it on its own, then you will learn when you marry). This map is in English. That is to say, it says Japan, France, Germany, and Turkey instead of Nippon, La République Française, Deutschland, and Türkiye.

But it lists a certain west African country as Côte d'Ivoire. This puzzles me.


Although I do see now that wikipedia says the government officially discourages the English usage. I wonder how they say the name of our country? Seems only fair that this should work both ways.

Would an Ivorian say, "La superficie des United States est de 9,4 millions de km², ce qui en fait le quatrième pays le plus vaste du monde derrière la Russie, le Canada et la Chine."

I bet not.

Sounds like you need a bathroom book.

That's what SI is for. The map is on the inside, so you only see it while in the shower. I'm trying to learn the 'stans.

Talking head terms that need to be changed...

"Mid Major" - Who are the Minor Majors? Sunbelt teams? Major Majors? BCS?

"He's a Division 1 prospect" - This one was wrong before they did away with 1A and 1AA, but please change it to "FBS prospect" or "other".

I don't know about the second one, but I believe the first one is a media euphemism for "bottom dweller," and refers to any school that is not in a B(c)$ AQ conference. Sort of like "working class" instead of "poor."

Which is why I hate the term so much. It hurts more to hear one of our own use it.

Maddawg,

I don't like it either (but, I have to admit that I have used it on occasion). What do you think is a suitable replacement? It would be nice to have a word that shows the arrogance of the BC$

Non AQ?

[Brian96]

Non AQ?

Probably the most accurate term (unless you want to add the "football" specifier), but not much of a dig against the B(c)$'s arrogance. :icon_wink:

Non AQ?

I'm a dummy. What does AQ stand for?

Automatic Qualifier, BCS.
