Thanks...I just kind of assume that when I post a bunch of times in a row for my own amusement it's most likely annoying to others. I mean, I'm obviously ok with that since I still do it, but apologizing can't hurt.

Hello,I am just a lurker who enjoys the funnies posted in this thread.I will take you noticing me as a credit to my clever screen name. That is all

[brvheart 1,752]

Really? You've never heard of Kevin Smith? Clerks, Clerks II, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma (certainly you protested against this movie), Zach and Miri Make a Porno (this one, too) and many others.I'm surprised.

I didn't know she was discussing movie directors and I simply didn't think about him.

I'm sorry, but how the shit did I miss

? Thank you, CNN.

IOWA! (... and DQ)

I find out my Bar Exam results today. Pretty hard to not vomit profusely. I was the only person I know of from my law school who worked up until 10 days before the exam so I am pretty bitter at my employer right now. (Most people either stopped working a month before or did not work period until after the Bar....fml)I think it is basically a coin flip whether I passed or not. I am going to be drunk at Monday night football tonight.....either celebrating or drowning sorrows.

This morning I was thinking that if I won $200M playing Keno (a lottery game), the governor might want to congratulate me, what with it being a state run program. And wouldn't you know it, the guy could possibly have the balls to ask me if I'd consider donating some of my winnings to government funded charities. I mean, that's all well and good, but the guy sure has a lot of stones to put me on the spot in front of the cameras like that. How can I say no to donating to charity after winning so much money?You know what...I would say no. And I'd tell him right in front of those cameras where he could shove his request.

I had this daydream once, except I offered a witty rejoinder, and then became a Hegemonic Political Demon, changing the country for the better by finding, grooming, and backing political candidates. I remember thinking at the time it was a lot like The Who's rock opera Tommy, somehow.

The problem is: my Toshiba laptop won't turn on, so I couldn't hide your nonsense with some of my own nonsense. Strat/Ouch: I think it's the power-source or something. It won't turn on. Is this a common problem with cheap Toshibas? If so, can I just buy a new power chord (<--- sorry, I have to spell it like that).

wang I have to agree with you regarding michigan vs. illinois. find myself listening to the former quite a bit more.

I would have no problem admitting that Illinois is a better album from an objective standpoint, I just really love Michigan. It seems way more personal to him. Actually, it's probably just way more personal to me, since I was born in Flint.The Bears/Steelers game yesterday took about 7 years off my life. The line was Pittsburgh-3 (-110) @ Bears+3 (-110). Here was the action I took:1) Steelers 4x2) Steelers 2x3) Steelers 2x4) Steelers 8x5) Steelers 4x6) Steelers 10x7) Steelers 4x8) Steelers 8x9) Steelers 6x10) Steelers 6x11) Steelers 20x (collection of random late small plays)12) Bears 1xThanks for helping me even out my ledger, player #12. By the time I took 20x in Steelers action, I shaded it to -115. Somebody banged it for 10x, so I moved it to -125. I still took 44x more in Steelers action. I kept checking the line at every source I could find, trying to figure out if I'd dealt a stale number, but no. Summary:Steelers 74x Bears 1xWith the juice, that ends up being more than a 160x swing depending on the result. For context, for an entire slate of NCAAF, my players wagered about 140x. It's really hard to explain the anxiety I felt during that game. I was wailing when bad stuff happened, like an old-school Italian widow throwing herself on her beloved's casket.

I would tell him that I will be using the money to fund an aggressive anti-lottery campaign.Yes. Also, I listened to that podcast with the gambling guy and I think you'd find it interesting. Apparently his book came out in 2001 or something, so I take this to mean you blatantly ripped him off and tried to pass it off as your own. For shame, TB, for shame.

I came up with the idea organically, but since I started playing, I've found a whole collection of like-minded individuals that gamble with almost the exact same philosophy, many of whom who have helped me develop new techniques for identifying profitable spots, as well as ways to remain pessimistic in the face of positive results. I am far from the only contrarian gambooler in world.I have never, however, read sports gambling book. I doubt my ideas are original, though.

Oh, I was kidding, of course. He said college basketball is far and away the best place to make money by knowing the sport. It's because you can focus on one small division and know everything about it, while there are just too many college basketball games overall for the books to closely follow.He also said the "wise guys" will start heavily betting an NFL game that has at least 75% action on one side (they, of course, take the 25% side).

Went down near San Diego for a business conference last week - one of the nights, we ended up at a Yardhouse which I had never heard of before Chris mentioned it about a week ago. Yes, 100 beers on tap so I of course had two pomegranate martinis and a pinot noir.It was my eldest daughter's birthday over the weekend and she wanted a replacement Chin. So I called the Chin rescue group and we trekked over to see the selection. At this lady's house, she had over 50 chins in various cages along with two golden retrievers. Over/Under from Wang on life expectancy for our new little guy?The lady has been doing chin rescue for over 30 years as she started out doing her university research on chins and got attached to them. Her dogs are trained to point to the chins when they escape from their cages when she yells "Chins on the floor!" Beautiful dogs and she mentioned that she got them for free on Craigslist. She was not happy about people giving away their dogs on craigslist as she says that fighting dog owners look for free pets to use as practice for their dogs.She had seven new chins that were recently given to her rescue group - the family which also had seven children had lost their home as both parents had lost their jobs. So the kids were being put into foster care as well as having to give up their pets. On a happier note, she also had a baby chin that a neighborhood dog had found in the bushes and carried over to its owner (lucky it wasn't my dog that found the baby). No sign of Mom and Pop but luckily the dog found the baby (10 days old) so that it could be rescued.On Sunday, we went to a husky social at a local park where they had about fifty different huskies/malamutes from three different rescue groups/clubs. Our dog paired up with another husky and pulled my kids and another adult on a sled which was sort of cool. He also got to see his old husky friends and seemed quite excited and happy. Bobbing for hot dogs and musical sit were also contests in which my dog failed to win a prize. A lot of the people there knew my dog so it was nice to talk to them about Rhody's past. Found out that my dog's previous owner had become a pot head at UC Santa Cruz and basically neglected/given up the dog to various neighbors along her street. Rhody always escaped from the neighbors and tried to find his way back to her home. Eventually, he broke his leg, the shelter picked him up and the rescue group got him before they put him down and fixed him up. Didn't know his backstory so it was nice to finally hear it.My eldest seems to be very interested in taking care of animals so the vet path is maybe in her future. Hopefully, when Matt is rich/famous in his practice, he can provide an internship to my kid.Oh yeah, I only saw a bit of the Emmy's, but Blake Lively's dress did catch my attention.

I don't know who Blake Lively is, but my initial reaction to speedz's picture was laughter. Not because she isn't hot (because she is hot), but because of how stereotypically skinny she was. That shouldn't be surprising considering the source, but I guess the image in my head of great breasts usually involve someone with more meat on their bones.Number of sentences in a row containing the word "but," including the quoted post: four.Also, "Blake Lively" is a pretty great name.

Ben Affleck is cheating on his wife with her.... or so I "hear".

[brvheart 1,752]

This gave me a hearty chuckle:"Why do people keep putting these award shows up against football? And last night was the premiere of ‘Bored to Death’ on HBO. If there was any possibility of watching the Emmys, that went right out the window when they opened with singing and dancing. But apparently I should have watched that because the awesome Neil Patrick Harris was awesome. That dude can do anything. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like him. He’s a more convincing cool ladies man than I’ve ever been, which is extremely troubling considering he’s gay and I’m not.Still the Emmys are fuckin retarded. They never recognize anything good. ‘30 Rock’ over ‘Flight of the Conchords’? Fuck you. The winner is always some lowest-common denominator mush. If ‘Best Painter’ were an Emmy category, Thomas Kinkade would be holding his trophy on stage and plugging his website while Marcel Duchamp sat in the audience smiling politely."

Wife and I were talking about NPH last night and though we both had liked him we decided he was quite the douche in Next Food Network star, (or was it Top Chef?) whatever. The guy made him get up and hold something and it got cold and he whined like a little beotch and just before the camera panned off you could see him getting ready to go off. Whatever. He's just a prissy fag and I like my fags a tad more manly I guess.
