Too funny. Do you have to pay NOT to have Onstar?

Okay congrats on winning the SICKIE SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN! Glad the rest of you played and stop by and collect your lovely parting gifts. vb, PM me your address so I can mail the prize. You have to disclose it with pics like secret santa when it arrives.

So who wins? Swift for the correct guess or JLL for picking the pick that won?

Congrats nice cash!

Yeah, I didn't really care anyway. I'm moving on with my life. Speaking of which I'll post this excerpt from my convo with Irish chick. Speedz sounds like a typical Irish guy!Although if he overanalyzes stuff to much then he may be a woman....are you sure he's a man???Though if you check him and find he has no penis, then he definitely is an Irish guy!

So it was under $23K by $5K or under $18K? math is hard ya know.edit: so it was within $250 of this I suppose? JoeyJoJo - $18,118which does make sense since JJJ is always right.

I also think that the leading Christian in the world and the head of Catholicism was directly involved in the cover up was pretty thread worthy as well. In matters of faith and morals, the pope speaks in the name of Christ and the faithful are to accept their teaching and adhere to it with a religious assentSo, if he was speaking in the name of Christ, did Christ tell him to bury the child abuse for fear it would hurt donations to the church? Did Christ tell him not to worry if the priest in quesiton would molest more children? Did he tell the pope to re-assign the priest(s) so that they c

Umm, you got it backwards.

Did you know rats actually laugh? They can tickled and will come back for more. They are also genetically the closest mammal to humans. They also make good pets. There is the disease thing though.Oh, and you guys are way overthinking the Duke thing. I am guessing they were about 8-1 to win the tourney. Wang probably bet around $1000 which would be a big chunk of change for a college student. He probably got 9 to 1 and saw value, thus my approximate $9000 guess. It might have ony been a $500 bet and some other odd lower bet longshots as well to cover the other half. I'm sticking with m

Over there apparently decent guys are rare and they'll hump em like a dog a in heat. Well, it is a country full of cocky ass backwards gingers. Your opinion of Irish guys. I like this but the swings to big. I have to leave so you guys figure it out and let me know.

But it did have nerdy Rush fans!I also liked your cat conversation.I also have been carrying on a convo with my Irish friend. She was out at a pub, not drunk and neither was the guy in question. He moved in for the kiss and then pulled a total Sickie Fail. She insists her breath was minty fresh and wants to know why he wussed out. She absolutely hates Irish guys describing them as um, women bashers I guess. She also says there are 200 slutty hot girls with cool accents to every decent guy, of which there are very few. (Sal misses all the good stuff). So anyway, I need your opinion on th

Now wait just a dag damn minute. You need to private message me the winner and you don't have to disclose any amount. Hell, it's not like we could verify it or anything but we would take you at your word.You're in essence giving us a one in ten shot at ever knowing and being able to choose a winner. Well, unless we get to finish off the high/low contest or something.so I think it is in the me-Quack-Speedz range. That is still alot of cash to win and given teh amount you were willing to risk is my reasoning.Thoughts?Oh hell, Quacktastic then.

Yeah, great line. I missed the first half but.Cinnabon- I think she has the best voice of all of them and showed it again last night. I don't think alot of people cared for the song and how slow it was though.Crystal- The best by far (so far) and I think she came in with a grudge against the whole process but it's a shortcut to fame and well, lot's of money. I think she'll be an artist that has something to say, whatever it is, and I like that vs all the canned junk out there now.Lee- I think he found himself last week and showed tons more confidence this week. I liked the bagpipes as well

While we're waiting for others to vote I want to mention my new adventure I'm planning which was inspired by a webiste I came across. I plan to run a half marathon in half the states of the US. The thing about half marathons is that they re still tough and a feat to accomplish but it wouldn't leave me completely wiped out and I could still enjoy the areas I visit. It might take me ten years but it's a goal. Oh, and I'm running them all barefoot and likely would be the only person to have ever done so.

I'm curious about this question. Usually it's the landowners that are more likely to care about the welfare of their children and will also vote for things like schools, library and park levies. Let's state the obvious as well. People that don't own land are more likely to have bad credit, lower morals, in more legal trouble and pay alot less taxes anyway. It could be argued that with a higher moral value they would likely see that the government is more responsible with the money leading to more available for the needy.

Oh sorry. I have given great thought to this. Ultimately it's the amount he won, but you can base it on anything that he has given up like his list or you can do what I did and pick random numbers with no thought to it other than a gut feeling.

GL on the job Napa. Deb has been out of work 5 months now.

The school thing is downright scary. I have a good friend from Ireland and she despises the politicains. There is a job freeze in her profession, medical field, and has been out work 10 months. She also has a nursing degree from the states and they consider it toilet paper there.

Yeah, but that's how the Sickiecase Showdown works! It's like that on the PisR also which is dumb but who cares! I'll have my people compose a final spreadsheet (you know who you are) when the votes are in.

Okay, let's all guess and play the Price is Right (Sickie Version) Showcase Showdown. Whoever guesses closest without going over wins the grand prize, provided by me**to be disclosed when I think of something.Randy- $9,123.

where you from, Ireland?While this article is correct to point out that many public services in Ireland are still provided by the Catholic church, I think the combination of declining church attendance, the public outcry at the passing of last year's blasphemy laws, and the general disgust over the child rape scandals show that Ireland is slowly moving away from Catholicism in general, and religion in particular.I think this is a good thing, or to quote journalist Fintan O'Toole:"It was good while it lasted. For about six years from the mid 1990s until late 2001, Ireland felt free. At last, fr

that's me on a daily basis.

Our weather is so perfect so it is making working pretty much suck. That and people. BoobsBeerSports

They are in the bill but most are adjustments to existing taxes but alot of the new ones don't kick in until 2018. Those are the ones that I was refering to, not that most of the rest of them won't be changed or new loop-holes created. There is no way it turns out like they expect which isn't surprising.

One of the posts was a joke.
