Things are looking up, finally, after several years of checking every two weeks to make sure that I wasn't going to be overdrawn before my paycheck hit the bank. The final piece of the puzzle would be the end of the mandatory furloughs we have had for the past six years. That is expected in this legislative session - which means that we will still have them through the end of the current fiscal year, but they would disappear effective July 1.

Yea I agree most families live paycheck to paycheck. Most families have iPhones, two car payments, eat out all the time, their kids have cell phones, they have cable and multiple flat screen tvs. Now obviously yours is easier to prove, but I'm pretty sure im close to the reality.

Adam: Another name for Muhammad. The strongest name of all according to the Q'uran. Also the most popular name in Kenya. Usually associated with terrorists.
^This is what the internet has as the origin of the name Adam

if only there was a asoiaf thread to discuss it. 

the deflection of peace.

So two al Rondons?

At least we got two Taliban draft picks in the deal.

Great thread. Me and my family were just talking about this at the dinner table tonight. And it's been the water cooler topic at work for three weeks straight now.

i have a 15 yr old daughter and i have a wife. i never have cash in my hands long enough to notice or care.

First thing I thought of too...  not sure what that says about us.

racist

Good thing you didn't see him at a NAMBLA show

I'd rather see Caddyshack 2.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Which sadly probably means I will watch it in theaters like Caddyshack 2.

Ghostbusters is like Stripes.
 
It doesn't work without Murray. 
 
I won't be seeing this POS.

The reason why I love baseball is it's a thinking man's game and if you strip away the "you have a bat and hit a ball" simpleness aspect of it, it's one of the most complicated sports on Earth. Like the defenders of the shift have said, it's a key strategy and important to the game. I agree there are a lot of time wasting aspects of the game (see: Beckett pitching) but there is literally no reason to get rid of the shift. It's as much part of baseball as the hit and run.

Eliminating the shift takes away from the brilliance of the game. Baseball is mental. If a batter can't hit the ball the other way, then he needs to hit it hard enough to defeat the shift. Its ridiculous that you're going to take away a defensive tactic because of offensive deficiency. 

Eliminate the shift and a pitch clock? 
 
Wow, I already hate this guy. 

so let's just put America both road and home jerseys.

that was very fair and balanced. i particularly liked this analogy:
 
". . . the "partnership" between America and Islam (we buy their oil, they kill us) . . ."

More like Senator Dumbford. Amirite??

Senator James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, shows his inability to count to four.
 

 
Politics is one of several reasons I no longer live in the Sooner State. Having an R after your name ensures your election, no matter how much of a moron you may be.

When Bruce was a little boy the founding fathers stole his bike.
That should tell you all you need to know about those ruffians.
