  1. The last hospital I worked on had one on my floor.
  2. I guess the conversation goes like this: "Asshole." "Sorry, don't have one."
  3. I'm not a big fan of wrapping breakfast in a flour tortilla, although I generally like Farmer Boys food. They moved into the Las Vegas market about 4-5 years ago. There is one about three blocks from my workplace, and one is under construction about three miles from the house.
  4. We have been looking in the wrong place. Apparently it was farther off course than we thought. This is a bad fake even by supermarket tabloid standards. The plane in the illustration has four engines and obviously isn't a 777. They could have at least spent $20 or so and gotten a proper model.
  5. The Federal system doesn't have parole, or a complex time credit system like most states have put in to control prison populations.
  6. One thing that played into it was that he continued the same tactics after being punished before, sometimes in defiance of court orders.
  7. Once again I shall open myself up for public humiliation by putting my prognosticating "skills" on public display. Nevertheless, Go Gators.
  8. Joe was so dedicated to the fight that he kept it up after they got in.
  9. Blanton is a large sample size, and we know how horrible he was a year ago. We could call up just about anyone and at least match that performance, if not improve upon it. The Angels are trying desperately to get some production out of that terrible contract before it ends, IMO, and it is clouding their judgment about what must be done. They are so anxious to see any sign of improvement in Blanton that they see it everywhere. If Blanton went the rest of the spring without giving up a baserunner, would it make any of us more confident to see him out there when the games really count? My short answer is a resounding "no".
  10. My opinion is that the plane landed somewhere well off the beaten (and closely monitored) path. As a retired American 777 captain said, it would make no sense to fly for seven hours just to crash and die. He said that a 777 light on fuel (which this one certainly would have been) can land and stop on a runway as short as 3500 feet - which leaves literally hundreds of possibilities within the flight range of a 777 airborne for seven hours. Several of them are on remote islands.
  11. Not as talented as when your Final Four are all gone by the end of the first round.
  12. My fear is that he will perform just well enough to make the roster when we break camp, but he will get shelled as soon as the season starts. Not like it hasn't happened before.
  13. Looks like Gus Bradley is bringing a few former Seahawks to Jacksonville. Not a bad way to begin rebuilding the defense.
  14. I would have as well. I didn't have the money this year to make the trip, but I would have liked the opportunity to add to the support that was already shown.
  15. Working mental health units, I had two people try it on my watch. One nearly succeeded. I don't dismiss stuff like this. Most anything can be lethal in the right circumstances.
  16. What is the over/under on the day they cut him? Maybe we should have a thread and let people guess.
  17. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: - Luke 6:37
  18. This time of year MLB Network is pretty much a waste. They carry spring training games, and nine times out of ten the game involves one of the six teams I am in a blackout area for, and the game isn't carried elsewhere. They even black out replays of spring games.
  19. According to this report from Huffington Post, Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps is said to be near death in a hospice center in Kansas. The news was reported by Nate Phelps, one of Fred's estranged children, who expresses regret for all the hurt that his father has caused others.
  20. My condolences to Niner fans for your acquisition of Blaine Gabbert. I have been saddled with this total washout for the last three seasons. His fourth quarter QB rating this past season was one point above mine. If Colin Kaepernick goes down, you won't win a game the rest of the season. Cut him now, while there is still time to salvage your season.
