ICE COLD

Some bounty hunter you are

I decided to cancel my Twitter account. I don't want to sound paranoid, but I got the feeling people were following me.

I feel confident that I can out Panera a Panera breakfast sandwich now. It took a bit of refinement, but my homemade version is on par.

Prepare to feel sad.

After Brazil flooding, loyalty to the dead – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs

You ever see some local place on one of them fawning food network-type specials, and it's just some mediocre piece of crap, overhyped joint, and it makes you question the validity of the network entirely?

If anyone out there is interested in labbing / just bringing in fresh perspective on a football GM sim im working on, let me know via personal message, or MSN ([email protected]) not a working email address).

I only need 2-3 people, and they will not be compensated. Of course you'll get the final product free when it comes out, if one ever comes out. It's just something im fiddling with, and i need perspective and opinions through the process. You'll get to test out match engines and what not. If that sounds like fun to you, let me know.

Also if you contact me, let me know your football / programming knowledge, and how much you usually play games and what kind of games.

Thanks.

Seems like a random thought that needs it's own thread, in my opinion.

After nearly 8 years of karate, I took my first full hour class of boxing last night. Dang, that was intense. Lots of cardio work. Did it with my son Andrew too. That was maybe the coolest part of it. And the most frustrating. He was barely breaking a sweat. :)

I wonder how many different ways I can introduce myself to new reps this week? The same old spiel gets old for me even if they all only hear it once. Pity them, they have to work with me now ;)

No. I'm in Wisconsin so unless they have a special on 'Great Deep Fried Food' I doubt I'll ever see one.

I've felt that most of those places probably pay for advertising especially on the 'Best Thing I ever ate...' show. One item was a Steak/Shrimp dinner for $7.77 in Las Vegas. Really? that is the best thing? Flank steak and 3 small shrimp???

What was your experience and with which restaurant?

I will no longer 'Feed The Beast' for ratings and pay attention to shitbags like Cowherd and Florio. I have better things to do.

While I enjoy profootballtalk.com because it's constantly updated and is a decent place to find news from all around the NFL, I am really surprised/impressed at how Florio has been able to parlay that into the NBC gig and all.

Florio is a serious shitbag.

What makes Florio a shitbag? I am just curious, not challenging.

I usually just read the "news" portions of his website and not so much his editorials and I've never really heard him on the radio or seen him on TV.

My first day of classes is tomorrow. Totally not in the mood.

The TV spots are horrible, and his editorials drip douche. It's the moral righteousness that he chooses to write with/respond with that is horrible. I respect how he came out of nowhere to become a player, but he is nowhere near the level of other pundits in both reliability and in prescence. Plus it is impossible to have an outsider perspective when you work for NBC.

After that crap piece on Aaron Rodgers, it is obvious he has an agenda. That was piss poor 'journalism' just meant to generate hits on the week of the NFC Championship game.

He was in on the Roethlisberger rape heavily.

Aaron Rodgers has a lot to learn about where his money comes from | ProFootballTalk

yeah, this is cunty as fuck.

Now, as a Packer fan, I'll admit that taken at face value it does look bad.

However, even when it was brought up by numerous sources that Aaron Rodgers does work for the MACC fund and other charities quietly (he hosted a event for kids with cancer where they all receive $100 gift cards and there was no reporting done on it) AND it was revealed he just signed something for that lady the week before and talked to her AND the lady was interviewed and said it was no big deal, Florio doubled down and became even more douchy in his followup.

Aaron didn't give her an autograph, but he just used that lady and unwillingly put her in the center just so he could together a shit piece to drive numbers. Fuck you Florio.

Yeah, the "Final Word on X" columns are a special kind of shit.

I have to see my doctor tomorrow. I don't mind female doctors for things like a sinus infection, but tomorrow will be awkward when I have to have her look at a painful bump on my ass.

Make sure it's not a fistula!

better then your dick!

What is, "Nothing."

I could almost hear this type of conversation with a doctor.

Hot Female Doctor: "Ok let me see your penis."
M GO:"..."

While I'm here...

Hey, M GO BLUE!!!, let me see your penis.

Maybe this is a bad segue from the previous few posts - but what the heck do girl scouts do with all that cookie loot? I mean, I know there's the meetings and the outfits and everything, but we're talking, I'm pretty sure, thousands of trillions of dollars.

Pumpy now knows the answer.

Had one of my best Facebook days ever today. Found quite a few relatives on my dad's side that I'd searched for numerous times with no luck ... suddenly today they seemed to magically appear. Several replies already & I'm thrilled to to reconnect with all of them. That's a side of the family that's been scattered to the four winds for most of my life (all 8 of dad's brothers are ex-military, so they've ended up all over place).

Very cool to me, but also meaningful for my son to at least see some of these folks. The resemblances to the previous generation that I remember but he never got to know are pretty striking, brings back a lot of childhood memories for me.

I've had numerous pizza drivers try and call me from their car on their cell phones, trying to suggest that I meet them at the front door of my apartment building. Motherfucker, I'm buying this crapass cardboard pizza for an inflated price, paying a delivery fee, and giving you a tip so that someone will bring me a pizza, not so someone will bring me a pizza part of the way.

Well, I'll give Florio credit for owning up to shitty journalism. At least he apologized for his Aaron Rodgers piece.

he just did that for more hits.

That is kinder than what my wife said. I think her response was something along the lines of he could go fuck himself.

I'll just throw in my 2 cents here and say that the worst thing about Florio is that he doesnt know jack-fucking-shit about football.

Arena football is about as cool as taking a bath with your dad.

Either the day of my surgery or the day after, I watched Despicable Me. I cannot for the life of me tell you what happened in the movie. Guess I'll watch it again. :)

The word "can't" does not exist in my vocabulary. Which makes it very time consuming for me to explain to people that I am unable to do something.

Just use the words can not. It means the same thing.

"Sorry, I can not."


There, I gave you the gift of time.

Darn you Dan.

Reading some fucked up account of a Philly abortion doctor who was doing some nazi level shit....google it if you care. This planet is fucked the fuck up.

Just to prove I have a way with women, I walked in & said "There is no way to put this other than to say it. I have a boil or something on my ass." My doctor said "Well, show me your ass!" :D

the fuck?

There's a joke or two in there somewhere. :)

Has anyone else noticed time speeding up lately?

Is the Earth losing some of it's mass?

If only you could put time in a bottle.

Meanwhile, after four hours of running errands around town while driving my mother-in-law's car (long uninteresting story) I believe my current stress level could be described as "can grind Giant Redwoods to dust with bare hands".

After work today, I'm right there with you, JiMGA.

The black dude on SNL who does Will Smith is awesome.

He's got a great Denzel Washington too - and I guess a ton of others I haven't seen yet.

Just testing my new ping function. Works fine.

Jay Z, too.

Didn't a new season of The Biggest Loser start? Every time a set of moobs is lost, an angel gets wings.

I need to post in this thread more.

Remembering my "brother" Will yesterday. I posted a number of things I remember him saying yesterday.

I started goofing around and flexing all the time at work in Chicago when I was lifting like crazy and seeing some results. Mind you, I knew I wasn't built like a truck but it definitely was an improvement. Will's response one day to me flexing? "Poli, those are nice pop guns."

Will always told me how terrible I was at softball. I think he was kidding. One day as he was telling me how terrible I was, I reminded him I was his shortstop. His answer? "Poli, you're the shortstop because I can't find anyone better to play it." (and when he did, I was moved to second base lol)

Will introduced me to ButterBurgers and Culver's in general. Yesterday I destroyed my diet and had a butterBurger deluxe and cheese curds from Culver's in his memory. I probably had this conversation a hundred times.

"How many butter burgers you want, Poli? You know I'll take care of you."

In truth, he always took care of me. He knew money was tight since my ex and I were having problems. He never let me go without.


On our way to a softball tournament in Sheboygan, WI, we decided to stop by and watch a Brewers game. Will subsequently got drunk. On our way out of Milwaukee, we stopped and got gas. Will came out of the gas station with drinks.

"Poli, drink like a Porn Star!"

"Dude, this is Rock Star, not Porn Star."

"Whatever, just drink it!"

"Dude it's 11. We got (softball) games first thing in the morning. I'm not drinking that!"


Will, be a Native American, often joked about a pickup line, "What can brown do for you?"


Probably the best thing I remember hearing him say, one that always makes me smile, is "Poli, I've never slept with a Master Chief!"

We worked for a Master Chief...she was on the USS Cole when it was bombed. Great woman and great to work for. However, she wasn't attractive in the slightest. Will had got drunk enough at the Christmas party, however, to try and test the waters. I kept trying to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen. Oh, and it didn't work.

I couldn't post the last one at facebook because the Master Chief in question is a friend on there. I'm not exactly sure she realized Will was trying to put the move on her!

"Don't be a sissy!"

Did you see he's originally from Pittsburgh (Mt. Lebanon)?

Mt. Lebanon man held on murder charges in abortion clinic probe

Jay Pharoah.

He does a ton of impersonations.

His Eddie Murphy is fucking amazing.

I'm frickin' sick of all the movie remakes. I wish the studios would stop this nonsense. Of course... if the lemmings keep filling up the theater, they will continue to produce them.

Lethal Weapon doesn't need to be remade. There is nothing to add or improve upon.

If anyone has seen Moron, they're asked to call Aurora Police at 303-627-3152.


I assume they are being deluged with calls.

Was watching a British movie the other day and a character referred to her house being "burgled". I chuckled. I wish I was a language scholar, and could explain why Americans think "burgled" sounds silly and instead use "burglarized".

My surgery was two weeks ago and I've been staying at my parents' house ever since. Even with video games, movies (including OnDemand), internet, and books, I'm bored out of my mind.

I don't know how people stay at home for longer durations. People at work are asking why I'm coming back on Monday; I just can't figure out what I'd do at home any longer.

Giant crayfish found in Tennessee is new species - Yahoo! News

Nice try, but FOFC's needle doesn't move below Colossal.

Don't time to track this down in the thread, but the wife and mother-in-law have been watching Oprah's new network. She could poop in a paper bag and sell it to women, she is the golden goose, jeebus!

Eh, not yet. OWN ratings (so far) are less than half of Lifetime in Prime, barely a quarter of Lifetime's total day ratings.

Speaking of Lifetime.. here's a story about a 23 year old woman who on her own, figured out that she was kidnapped by another woman from a hospital when she was just 19 days old, and reunited herself with her mother.

I figure Lifetime is on the phone right now, asking for the rights to her life story, and asking if it's ok that the main villain in the made-for-tv movie gets turned into a male who's a rapist. :)

Kitten home from UGA Vet after "alteration" & front declaw (no real choice when in a house w/ 2 already declawed).

Now he's fighting the cone/lampshade thing so much that his paws are bleeding, after hours vet on call says monitor him & "limit activity". Has this vet ever lived w/ a kitten? "Limit activity"? Fine, then sedate his furry butt, otherwise fughedaboudit. 2 y/o humans on meth are less active than him.

And if I have one more vet suggest "maybe lock the cat in the bathroom". WTF? This kitten will flat foot onto the f'n mantle in the living room, y'think maybe jumping on/off bathroom counters onto tile floors might be a little worse for him than the sleeper sofa here in the carpeted basement?

Last night was to be hockey practice #1. Cancelled. :(

My son was pretty bummed...but forgot about it a few minutes later.
Along with that, last night was the worst snow removal I've seen in Pittsburgh in a long time. It wasn't a terrible snowstorm, about 3-5" depending where you are in relation to the city. But, my streets were not even touched. The main roads and two lane highways included.
I'll never understand trucks with plows, riding people's asses in traffic, honking for them to move...all while the plow isn't even on the ground.

After all my years in Wisconsin, I can say that I've never had nor seen a snow plow do this.

Then again, the vast majority of snow plowing occurs at 2 in the morning.

We go have us a crawdad fry?

I am so fucking bored. Like for real. I get paid to literally surf the web all day. It's been like this since October. It sucks.

I'm fucking bored.

You should schedule some meetings.

You know I would, but I basically have no responsibilities or contacts. Someone is paying around $200/hr(I think, I don't see it) for me to fill a position that's not needed.

So I pass the time seeing how far I can push the people that are making money off me. I'm good at pushing buttons, yet I still haven't found the limit.

I had a job like that a few years ago, long lunches (2 hours usually) were the norm and no one even noticed. All of us ended up getting moved to different departments.

Well, at least it's Friday and a little bit past 3. So, your weekend should be starting fairly soon.

LOL, yeah dead on with the lunches. Luckily I only live 15 minutes away. Hopefully I'll be out of here within the next few weeks.

One day I would love to go to the Sundance Film Festival.

i was rkmsuf all along

Heh, that was my last job, post-merger. We were absorbed by a company that had some 30-40 IT people - I had absolutely no reason to exist there. I finished up the project I was working on, got my people set up on the new company's network, few other minor things. This took a week-ish. Followed by me sitting there. All day. Every day. For 4 months, till they finally started to purge all of us that came over in the merger.

3-5 pints of guinness during my 2 hour lunches and 15,000 smoke breaks were what got me through the days.

Add in the fact the 4 months before this I was pulling 80-100 high pressure hours a week in. Finished that and suffered whiplash doing to this.

Someone's trying to kill me.

I miss that Crim guy.

There are two people on FOFC who I absolutely will not respond to even if they address me directly. Strangely, TCY Junkie is not one of them.

ARENA FOOTBALL

I have always wondered if Pumpy thought the movie 300 was about someone getting a perfect score in bowling...

I was pissed when I learned that movie morning glory wasn't about a horse with really good workouts.

I keep trying to get them to fire this guy who drives to greensburg every night. If I get his route, I could bowl with Pumpy. Granted I am not good.

co-worker just got back from Park City. VERY expensive there, apparently.

Yea, I've certainly looked into it. It's even worse during the festival from what I understand.

ping still works
You mean it's not? :(

BRING IT, DADDY!

Sadly...no.

Is it weird that it is 9 PM on a Friday and I'm watching Doogie Howser?

From a co-worker of mine..

Folks in the UK, please tell me this is not a real commercial, please?



Mow the Lawn.. complete with a shaved pussy(cat) at the end.


What. The. Fuck.

It appears to be real, one of a series of commercials called "The Neighbourhood" produced by Wilkinson Sword to promote their line of women's bikini razors.

Although the one you posted doesn't seem to be there at the moment, other spots in the series including "The Landing Strip" & "Tidying Up Downstairs" are on their website
