2. Thanks for getting my back Hank.



They should serve Motor City Bagels for breakfast. People love the local touches like that.

I'd forgotten about this type ill-behavior being so common (both meanings) back now. You and Penske each did 3 or 4 things today that would get you banned for life under Paigow's rule.

This is what I've been missing? Sad.

I would have expected a discussion of evacuee fashion at the very least, or, whether it is better to give comfortable clothes to evacuee friends or clothes to help them rebuild their lost wardrobes so they can find new jobs in Texas.

Actually, when I was a registered Republican, it was when I was living in a large rectangular state in the Mountain Time Zone.

Wait, you abandon us and then come back and yell at us for wrecking the house? I pissed in your potted plants.

On information and belief, fur doesn't taste all that good, even if you have fuel to cook with.

It's comforting to know that my good friend sebby has my back when I'm AWOL.

Thanks, man.

The squirrels are out of the attic (they were the bigass gross ones too -- red squirrels, the commie bastards of the squirrel kingdom). For the bats, however, we need to wait until winter time (I don't know why -- but that's what the bat man said.)

I will admit that I did not stay calm during the bat affair, and I would have wanted to spare the bat's life, but I didn't know what to do with it. I think bats are cute, actually (well, except for that rabies thing -- that's not so cute). I even put up a bat house (outside) for bats to come and roost in my yard.

But as you've made me feel really guilty, next time, I'll serve it some dinner and set up a bed for it.

I think I did 3 and Hank did 4.

At my house, in the discussions of the temporary adoptee we have discussed whether or not the child will have appropriate resort wear for our winter vacation. We decided probably not and better to buy the kid some stuff now (when summer clothes go on sale) than to wait until Dec/January, as resort wear is more expensive at that point.

Thoughts?

Relevancy? No offence.

Yes, tiddy is better than furry.

Under the pyramid scheme Paigow based upon Amway, you get "credit" for everyone you brought in. That gives you 7 bads, by my count.

Capital idea, old chum!

Of course, the clothes will be hopelessly out of fashion for 2006 . . .

Ah, the efforts made by the well-intented, yet ignorant, crowd. Anyone who has visited Louisiana, away from strip clubs at least, would know that the thermal weight a native wears would differ greatly from what someone in the North would find comfortable.

I remember driving to Padre over spring break one March and stopping at a truck stop somewhere in La. Us Michigan residents were wearing shorts and t-shirts, and were quite comfortable. the La. residents around us, however, were dressed in sweaters and jackets- most wearing the sweaters, with only a few having them tied around the shoulders.

Have you thought of any of this, and have you considered whether your charge would feel comfortable telling you the clothing isn't warm enough? Other than imagining your newly earned halo have you given any thought to this at all?

I wonder if you might be more helpful to the child if you wait and buy appropriate clothing at the vacation site. to be honest, I truly wonder if it might be best for you to simply donate money, and let the more culturally sensitive attend to the child.

NOLA
 

If he doesn't get the child, he doesn't get the unpaid servant for his own children -- which would go a long way toward offsetting the costs for food and clothing. I really would think he's going to let the charity case wear hand-me-downs from the prince/princesses Penske, and I heard a rumor that they will be making a firm decision on the "whipping girl" role (given today's social mores) by midnight (Pacific) Monday.

NOLA
 

Is this another Penske sock?

NOLA
 

dissent. I agree that Penske is the furthest thing from mentally healthy of the posters on this board- the K races, the "fectas," the multiple socks, the lying about his personal status/stature, all of it adds up to a classic diagnosis of neurosis- borderline psychosis. But he has always been solidily in the range of normal given his abnormalities,

I can recall no evidence of child abuse, and I feel an apology may be in order.

NOLA
 

Well, if there's no abuse of the existing children of his blood, and the whole concept of "whipping [child]" is that it gets the punishment the royal child would not, ergo there will be no abuse of the whipping child.

Are you sure you went to Harvard? I guess Bush went to Yale, so maybe Ivies aren't such the pedigrees anymore.

Right on! Now, that's what I'm talkin bout.

NOLA
 

Now I understand what Wonk was talkin bout. Wonk, I hereby publicly apoligize for whatever statements I made about Fringe when we dined, al fresco. I was wrong.

Fringe, I will withhold the personal invective, although it would be richly deserved and easily accomplished, however, anytime you would like to compare notes on charitable donations or giving back to one's community in non-monetary ways, let me know and we can have Hank moderate the analysis. NPI. I'll bet you $5K I win.

NOLA
 

Right on! Now that's what I am talkin bout!!!

How do you know I have any children of blood? There has been no paternity test results unveiled. To date.

I've created a lawtalkers group at the ESPN eliminator football challenge.

http://games.espn.go.com/eliminator/frontpage

It's a private group called lawtalkers and the password is footballpool.

I propose that all who play make a donation to the board, in multiples of $10, based on what week you are eliminated. That is, a person eliminated in week 1 would donate $10, a person elimnated in week 2 would donate $20, etc. On your honor, of course.

And is some moderator wants to set up a seperate board for this, I'm cool with that.

Football pool
 

Sounds good, but I think we should work the other way. Entrants knocked out in the first week would have to donate $160, the next week, $150, and so on (I think the NFL season may be 17 weeks with the bye week - maybe we could assign bye weeks among the entrants). This approach is better for the board and it rewards merit, or at least would eliminate the temptation to pick Cincy in Week 1.

Football pool
 

Not only do I not understand how this works, I even clicked on the link to find out, and I still don't understand. If you decide to go with SS's method of bilking honest folks out of their money, I'll be an easy $170 (but someone has got to explain to me how this works.)

Football pool
 

It's simple, really. Each week you pick one team you think will win that week. That's it. If your team wins, you advance to the next week. If your team loses, you are eliminated from the game. The only hard part is, you can only pick any given team once in a season.

Does that help?

Football pool
 

I do not think it is fair for Ty@50 to participate. As for those who correspond with him off board, I suppose we will have to be on the honour system, although I believe Sebbie repudiated the notion of honour codes in a recent posting exchange.

Football pool
 

Hmm. That is simple enough (in theory). OK. I'm in. (Where can I find a list of all the teams? The last time I followed football was in the 70's. The 1870's.)

Football pool
 

Three things:

1. Goddamn, ESPN.com sucks. Fucking incomprehensible as to how to joing a group; no links to anything useful at all. Apparently I speak spanish, because the link to join a group was in spanish for me. Their suckitude never ceases to amaze me.

2. I'm already doing two eliminator pools, so I'm not sure I'll remember to enter a pick here every week, but I'll try.

3. I would just wait to see how many people enter and then have the contribution scale down so that the winner donates nothing, last place donates the most. I agree that it doesn't seem right for those in the lead to have to pay more, but that's just me.

I appear to have my entry linked into the group at this point. Ready to go.

Has anyone ever used these folks to move? They bring containers to your house, you load 'em up, they come back and get them, and ship 'em to wherever you're moving.

Did anyone see Richard Simmons- New Orleans native- interviewed this weekend? He was wearing a pastel tank top. For a network interview about an enormous diaster in your hometown, is that appropriate? I believe it was Sunday, so pre-labor day, if that matters.

Football pool
 

1. I agree. They suck. And I am a spanish speaker too. But they do all the pool leg work for you, like keeping track of what teams people have already picked, etc...

3. That's fine with me. Since it's all on our honor anyway, and as you know, most of us have none.

What material? silk? Shorts or speedo?

It's embarrassing. We held our fantasy football draft on ESPN.com, and the java application kept disconnecting people. Managers were inadvertently drafting 3 QBs in a row b/c they couldn't re-connect. We cancelled that draft and moved back to yahoo. I hate ESPN. It's time for ESPN to have some real competition. Just copy whatever ESPN was doing ten years ago (when it was still good).

Football pool
 

I saw a guy at the beach yesterday in a real banana hammock. Not a speedo, but one of those male stripper hammocks. I actually think it was a Candid Camera type of thing. He picked a spot to lay out right in the middle of this big group of people...and then got up ten minutes later. He was also carrying a briefcase.
