I know what you're thinking, "not poisonous". And to that I say that this dangerous mauler of an animal can kill you much faster than any poison can.

Wow, seven minutes without a new post. That is pretty rough for what's usually the most busy thread.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I think I finally found why I just don't have any love for the BoSox anymore.
The thing everyone needs to recognize is that the Red Sox bandwagon fanbase is different than others. The Yankees, the Cowboys? These teams have ******* fans who love them because they win. The Red Sox are different.

ESPN and multiple national media outlets picked up the Red Sox story in 2004 after their famous comeback over the Yankees. They told the story of the underdog who hadn't won a World Series in 86 years. This made people root for the underdog, who went on to sweep the Cardinals.

Suddenly, the underdog team that people rooted for was suddenly the World Champions, and they called themselves fans of championship winning team. To this day, when the Red Sox have a $162MM payroll, these know-nothings villainize the Yankees for being the "evil empire," when, by this point, they're just as bad. Theo Epstein may have won championships, but he turned this club into one worthy of hate.

The signing of Carl Crawford for entirely too much money, and the trading of a top prospect for a player who went FA at the end of the season was what broke me out of the blind devotion I've had to a club on which I was raised. I didn't watch a single Red Sox spring training game, and I won't watch a Red Sox game with the intent of rooting for them this or any season as long as Epstein is GM. I won't root against them, but I do love watching Epstein's attempt at the Steinbrenner strategy blow up in his face.

Pugs always look so distraught. I love it.

Corgis are better.

Wyatt, maybe the reason you aren't into the Red Sox is because you are/were a bandwagon fan?


Pugs are EASILY my favorite breed

Re: Off Topic 2011

I have a black pug. She was a rescue from a breeder that did sickening things to the runts of the litters. Luckily, we got her and she's gotten to live a full and happy life with other dogs who love to love.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Yeah, but there are a lot of posts on this recruiting company complaining about it. I don't know what to think.

It can still look good on a resume. A lot of time experience go a long way.

Re: Off Topic 2011



From left to right: Simba (RIP, these last 5 years haven't been the same), Madison and Kobe. That picture was taken probably 7 or 8 years ago. I love how each of their personalities is perfectly displayed in this pic. Simba was a motherly, calm but fierce type...Madison is a tweak and Kobe has really no idea what's going on, just happy to be a part of things.
