Pretty sure I just got a scam text message. Said my debit card was limited and game me a number to call. Only problem was the email address it came from didn't sound like anything remotely related to PNC Bank, and on top of that, the phone number only had 9 digits

If you can will you forward that info to [email protected] so we can track it?

Just tried, but I kept getting a message saying "unable to send more than 1 SMS message to email address. Pleas shorten you message" even when it was only the original message I received.

You're Canadian. You have boxing day. Leave our Black Friday alone.

Re: Off Topic 2013

^lol, that reminds me of when I was in middle school and we faced a basketball team where everyone from that school was above 6 feet tall. We questioned how abunch of 12-13 year olds could be that big, and even if they were, how they were in our division(since divisions are ranked by the schools past performances) since there's no way that a school with so many huge people,had similar win-loss records as us.

Thinking about going to see Thor. By myself. On a Saturday afternoon.

This is what my life has come to.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Isn't that the kid that got a scholarship offer from Hawaii, or was that a different 6'4, 400lb running back?

Makes me wish I would have played running back in high school.

Boxing Day in Canada means:

Start of




lol also, Canada no longer has "boxing day sales" so much as they do "boxing week sales". In other words, it's just stores cheap way of getting people to go to their stores all week long instead of just on boxing day. Sure, after December 26th, many items are sold out already, but unless you're getting something huge(like a TV or computer or something) no real point of shopping in Canada on Boxing Day since prices stay the same until around New Years.

And you thought Abbrederis was full of grit, heart and determination? This kid. This kid has so much of it his normal body can't contain it.

easily the best thing you will hear today, or possibly this week





It's exactly what it looks like.

****ing glorious. But no "You Make My Dreams Come True" mix? For shame.

Since this was being talked about earlier, I've been working at Wal-Mart for 2 years and change and don't see myself leaving any time in the near future. I guess I either have really good patience and a high tolerance for bull**** or I just like punishment. I don't know.

I just actually had to train a new guy for the back room (where I work) on PS4 launch night and literally the first words I said to him were "Welcome to hell". My manager told me not to scare him.

Thursday night was one of the few times there was actually a positive to working there though, getting a PS4 and Madden for 20% off and getting to avoid all the other crazies waiting for theirs.

When I was in HS, one of the schools that we played had a 6'3, 230 lb. RB and to prepare, our defensive backs coach had us practice tackling the defensive linemen. So, who does 5'8, 140 lb. me end up having to take down? Our 6'2, 300 lb. All-State OL/DL who is now a backup C at Rutgers. Needless to say, that didn't go very well.

That's the way it is here, but no one ever seems to realize it. I think I've gone out on Black Friday once. I was still able to get things for a similar/same price weeks later. Hell, my dad and I got a 60" plasma a year or two ago for the same price it was on Black Friday just a week before Christmas. Especially now with price matching and what not, it's shocking how many don't realize they could just wait a week or shop from the comfort of their own home and get what they were going to get any way.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Yeah Boxing Day is and has been pretty much dead the past few years here. I know the last 2 years or so it seems like we're trying to adopt Black Friday more and more.

On one hand I do miss the excitement of Boxing Day but on the other hand I sure as hell don't miss the hordes of people and traffic, the lineups, and just the overall madness.

I'd always draw the biggest dudes for Oklahoma drills. I was scrappy though, probably about your size back then. I had/have sneaky leg strength, while I'm pretty boney in the upper body. But if I got a grip I could drive you to the ground. Big dogs fell easier!

I always loved playing defense over offense.
