I Called In Sick Today

oh my godhttp://twitter.com/#!/DP_57/status/3186424316694528

Having spent a year of my life pretending to be interested in your hockey pool thing, I found this tweet quite exciting. I think I remember complaining at you for trading Perron back in the day because he is a Blues player.

Hell, if he put it on YouPorn, I've probably seen it. I always thought that nose looked familiar.

Oh crumbs, please someone find it online... that would literally (well, not literally) be the best thing ever.

But I always wondered if it was supposed to be that the story was completely made up, or that the story was basically correct, just with a lot of the names and places substituted for by the stuff on the bulletin board.

I think he was making up a story that matched up with the facts but adding in the stuff on the bulletin board. So, it fitted in with everyone else's stories because it was kind of parallel to the truth, but he changed enough to obviously write out his true role in the proceedings. I want to watch it again right now. Honestly I had forgotten about the bulletin board and that aspect would have totally surprised me when it got to the end even though I've seen the movie tons of times.

no it's something else based. sorry.

This cracked me up.

Usual Suspects is one of those movies that relies on the twist to keep you from realizing that it didn't really make any sense.

[ShakeZuma 585]

hey you know what else doesn't make any sense? yep, you guessed it!your face.

[speedz99 145]

I didn't guess that at all.

[ShakeZuma 585]

thought about you today speedz. an indian dude walked by my desk and I was like "hey! he looks like speedz!" so you look indian.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

it's pronounced "sheeeeeiiiiiiit"

I'll defer to the local.

When I was younger, I could do a really good Beaker impression. I used to randomly bust out into Beaker or Colossus (the sound he made when you used his super-power in the old-school X-Men Arcade Game) all the time in front of people, just to see if anybody would be able to recognize it, and thusly earn my immediate and unending respect. Nothing made me happier than when one of my dormmates freshman year described himself over the phone as a 6'5" Beaker, and the other, when he first heard me make the Colossus noise, looked at me and asked if I wanted to go play Marvel vs. X-Men in the West Quad lounge.

When I was a kid there was a nearby arcade that my dad would take my brother and me to on the weekends. And they had one of those x-men arcade games where 6 people can play at once. If I was lucky and we got there before it was too crowded, I'd take Colossus (I was older than my brother, so I always had first dibs). I mean, Colossus was clearly the best one, right? His mutant power was so superior to everyone else's: he would just kill everyone around him with his yellow glowy-ness.And, of course, the death of your enemies would be accompanied by that low, gargle-like growling noise: "ARGHHHHHHH!"

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

I can still do a damn good Beeker impression.

Meeped your post.

I would play with Colossus 90% of the time because I just liked his super-power noise so much. I'm not even sure how to type it phonetically -- something like "UuuuuUUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!" I suppose, but that doesn't really represent the change in pitch -- but I'm sure it's available somewhere on youtube. If I wasn't Colossus, I was Nightcrawler.And if I wasn't Nightcrawler, I was Marge Simpson. And if I wasn't Marge Simpson, I was the Elf, running around stealing all the food. Or, if I couldn't get to it: "Elf shot the food!"

A real-life owl and the pussycat. A kitten and owl have become inseparable. The unlikely friendship began after a litter of stray kittens were handed in to the Hawk Conservancy Trust in Hampshire, after they were found abandoned on a nearby road, and one of the litter has become firm friends with Nigel, a white-faced scops owl

He doesn't even have a beer in his hand. Borrrrring!

Here's Wade showing the effectiveness of the double teapot defense:

Well, it probably isn't technically a double teapot so much as it's a double-handled teapot with no spout.I'm a little teapot, short and stout...and so on and so forth.p.s. nbaplaybook.com is great.

Usual Suspects is one of those movies that relies on the twist to keep you from realizing that it didn't really make any sense.

Ketchup is great, even if you never have seen Usual Suspects.

Alrighty...Show of hands....how many of you have ever went hunting?(perhaps a hand or two raise)Now....how many of you successfully took a whitetail deer from it natural habitat of heavy brush and cover?(blank faces)OK.....(takes drink of beer)..... how about being called by your father who is sitting on top of the house and being told that if you want to take a good buck get your ass out the bedroom window along with the thirty ought six?(shocked faces)Yep.... its trueThe kid killed an eight point buck this morning from the roof. His mother is none too happy but ole papa is mighty proudPics to follow

[brvheart 1,752]

Your son shops at Hollister too!?!

[vbnautilus 48]

Does anyone know how to track down whoever is responsible for those commercials with babies who talk with adult voices and operate computers, and then how to hire a hit man to kill that person? PM me.

[AmScray 355]

Is that an 11.5" M4gery with a perm flash hider?Seriously? Deer? With a 5.56 out of an 11.5" pipe? Or is that a 14.5?Either way, I hope it was close. The last Bambi I binked with an AR was a 20" A2 at about 60 yards (with irons) and it took three, all pretty well placed (was using ball, though). I can't kill animals anymore. I tried recently but just couldn't do it. I used to go hunting and kill shit without a moments pause but now, I can't, yet my disgust for human beings grows a bit deeper every day; absent the laws and significant consequences, I'm pretty sure I could kill them for sport alone. I think this somehow corresponds with whatever bodily changes that are also causing me to go bald. As you age, you simultaneously become both gentler and meaner, at once, in the most unexpected of ways.

I'll chip in, and I don't even own a TV anymore.Hi, AmScray. 4:30 AM where I am: I'm going to bed, maybe get to sleep around 6:00 or so.

Yep, every trip back to the west coast he has to stock up on the stuff. No surfing around here ya know. He even got me a couple shirts last time. Damn things fit pretty small thoughI feel like Im wrapped in saran wrap or something in them

Its a pre eighty six Colt sixteen with a fourteen five barrel....I use that flash hider as a thread protector for when the suppressor isnt used. The threads are all the way at the front of the flash hider for those who want the short barreled look on a NFA compliant sixteen inch barrelHe actually took it with a Remington seventy six hundred in thirty ought six using Winchester one eighty silvertips.... he posed with both of them because the sixteen was "cooler" I guessI dont hunt anymore, either....lost that "killin feelin" many moons ago. I watched the buck for a while and then decided to call the kid up since he wanted to hunt that day and someone else would have gotten it anyway. Im getting ready to take him out and teach him how to skin and quarter the thing. The beer is already flowingPic requests anyone?Speedy?LG?I will anyway

[ShakeZuma 585]

now this is my kinda sick thread. somebody post some pictures of fat chicks and I'll be in heaven.

Not fat to me...but prob speedz

Well what's this noise all about? I've never been against hunting as long as someone eats what you kill. I mean, I don't think I could actually shoot a wild animal unless maybe it was legitimately as part of population control, but I'm not against other people doing it. Sport hunting is for complete assholes, though.

[Napa_Don 688]

I've been pheasant hunting for many years and have never once had pheasant. Not to say it didn't get eaten, just not by me. Either somebody else in the party would take it or I'd have my brother clean it and then he'd either take it or give it away. I wish I knew how to clean animals though. Feel like that's a skill that should be learn'ed.

I found out that my pal's buddy used to date Jenny. We talked. I.. know the buddy. He is in my fantasy football league and I play him this week. If I win, I will do everything I can to work things out with Jenny. If I lose: I'll post on the fantasy message board that we both banged the same girl.My Lineup:D. GarrardM. Jones-DrewL.
