If a check never makes it to forrest and nobody actually wrote it, does it still bounce?

Yep, and he's currently the highest scoring non -QB in the league (6th overall point leader)

The answer to this might be important to how I handle my student loan debt going forward.

I'm willing to consider that I might have been wrong about this, but we'll have to see how it plays out. He can't keep scoring 2 TDs a week, can he?

Really? I was looking up vision street wear the other day because I used to love their clothes. I ended up down a rabbit hole reading about the guys they used to sponsor and whatnot and while I knew gator had killed someone I didn't know he was in the petty video or that the girl in the video was the thing that ultimately drove him to murder.Ball Son Urchin said:Head Like a Hole.What song?Ball Son Urchin said:Driving home from the city yesterday with Miss and one of the moppets. We were singing and car dancing, because that's what we do. We were cruising along at about 130 (I think that's about 8 gallons for my American friends) when a rig blew a tire and sent debris everywhere. Cars started skidding and bumping into each other in front of us. I managed to steer around a couple of collisions without hitting anyone and got free of the mess. This is when Miss yelled "You didn't even stop singing!!!"
This must be some sort of media trivia question. I've seen this mentioned/linked on Twitter a few times over the past couple of weeks.

I wrote this post back in 2008. This, a post about politcal parties, and a post titled "The Difference Between Monet and Manet" are the only things I ever wrote for that blog. About a year ago something happened and now the blog gets between 1k and 2k visitors a month despite having not been touched in years. I've highlighted the parts I think are really interesting.

World War I in a nutshell:
World War I
World War I, also known as “The Great War”, took place mostly in Europe between 1914 and 1918. World War I is also sometimes called, “The War to End All Wars” which makes no sense because it did no such thing. Sort of like the Civil War being called “Civil.” Anyway, there were about 20 million soldiers and civilians killed in World War I and another 20 million injured in some way. 20 million. Times two. For some perspective, you could fill Yankee stadium to capacity every home game for 8 and a half years and not get to 40 million people.
The war was mostly battled between Germany and Hungary against Britain, Italy, and France. The Russians were involved (fighting against the German side) ’til their revolution in 1917. The United States got involved for the last year of the conflict. World War I was the first war where planes participated in the destruction. Of significant note, World War I essentially destroyed the world order that had existed for about 100 years. The Russian empire? Niet. Ottoman? Gone. German? B’bye. After things were said and done, about half a dozen countries (including Finland, Latvia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Lithuania) had their independence.
So how did this awesome display of humans destroying everything around them begin? The prevailing theory is that a single shot from a single assassin left a power-vacuum in a really appealing place, thus bringing a bunch of greedy despots to a dinner table where there was a big steak on the table but only silverware for one person. The truth is actually a bit more complicated then that: on June 28, 1914, a young Bosnian-Serb named Gavrilo Princip shot and killed the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. Austria-Hungry, justifiably pissed off, demanded that the Serbs take action against the radical group to which Princip claimed affiliation or allow them (the Austro-Hungarians) to come in to Serbia to investigate. The Serbs did nothing so Austria-Hungary declared war on them. Here’s where things get tricky: through decades and decades of agreements between countries to protect each other’s interests and defend each other in the event of a war, a lot of favors were called in by the Serbs and Austro-Hungarians seemingly overnight. Give it a couple of weeks, and a continent and a half are officially at war.
Here’s the rub: Ferdinand should have never been killed that day. Princip’s group had 7 assassins lined up along the route the Arch-duke would be driving. Each was supposed to try and kill him. The first guy choked and did nothing. The second guy hurled a grenade that missed the Arch-Duke’s car and hit another in his convoy, injuring two people. The Arch-Duke and his crew sped away safely. Later that day, they decided to go visit the folks injured by the bomb at the hospital but his driver took a wrong turn. When the driver realized the error of his directions, he tried to turn the car around but it stalled…in front of a sandwich shop where Princip happened to be eating lunch. When the car stopped, Princip stepped out in the street with a pistol and from about 5 feet away at 11am, set off a chain of events that led to World War I.
And since things are never simple in international politics, it’s only fair to point out that a wide range of other factors contributed to the extraordinarily fast pace that things went from docile to devastating. The German’s and English had been in an arms race of their own over the ocean… the German mobilization plan caused them to move quickly to avoid fighting a war on two fronts… the Russians seem to think that economic imperialism from the West is in part to blame… the United States held in part that trade barriers caused the war…and most all of Europe is in agreement that everyone was so concerned about maintaining a balance of power among all nations that the moment the balance was upset a little, everyone went bonkers to protect their own self-interest with the belief that the balance could not be restored. It’s possible, even probable, that Europe was a powder keg waiting to blow in the 1910′s. That said, for some reason, it didn’t catch fire until Arch-Duke Ferdinand’s driver stalled his convertible in front of a sandwich shop.
So, once things got going, what happened? Strangely, much of the first fighting happened in Africa between the British, French, and Germany. A week or so later, the Serbs started fighting the Austrians that had crossed their border. A week after that, the Germans and Russians got in to it. While that was going on, the Germans didn’t have the resources to fight the English and French to the west, which ensured that the conflict would not be a short one. Not to be outdone, the Australians and Japanese were picking off islands under German control in the South Pacific. Soonafter, Allied forces had taken over all the islands Germany had in the area.
World War I was the first war to use some really nasty advances in war technology. For example, large infantry units had hell moving around due to barbed wire being strung across the European continent. They also had difficulty moving across open land due to the introduction of the machine gun. And, just in case they made it close enough to the enemy to consider how they would fight them, the soldiers got to breath poisonous gas thrown at them by their adversaries. And if that weren’t enough, big hulking masses of steel called “tanks” were now available. Ah, the joy of technology!
For the next 2 years, no one made much progress in “winning” anything. Mostly, the war was a contest to see who could kill or maim the most people on the other side. The participants also succeeded in digging trenches and foxholes all over Europe to serve as protection and shelter. To get an idea of how many miles of trenches were dug, get in your car and drive from New York City to Los Angeles and then back to New York….and you’d still be about 300 miles short

For some reason this reminded me of my pal Mike Garcia. One day Mike got into an argument with this guy who owed him some money or he owed some money to and in the course of the argument the guy tells Mike, "You're nothing but a stupid taco bender." Mike was mad, not so much about the intelligence/racial insult, but because he had never heard such an outlandish insult. He was literally without speech.I just wanted a recipe for taco balls...I ended up getting lost like when my mom took me to department stores in the mall...just wandering around aimlessly, hoping a kindly woman would help me.Quick!

Cal asked me Saturday if we were going to be moving again soon. I told him no, we are never moving again. Judging by the smile on his face, this gave him a lot of comfort.
Then today I get a letter from a lawyer saying they want to re-zone all of the 107 acres land behind our house, probably including the woods we all love, to put in houses, apartments and a commercial development. I talked to the lawyer representing the land owner and "there isn't a developer on board, this is just in case they want to sell to a developer. It might be 3,5,10 years before something is done."
I talked to the city engineer and he said he would have a proposed drawing mid next week I can look at.

I talked to the city engineer and he said he would have a proposed drawing mid next week I can look at.
I'm giving my blood tomorrow morning and getting fall down stupid drunk tomorrow night. #### #### #### Mother ####

She's "in recovery". Most of the sores are gone and she seems to be between pregnancies.

Got a jury summons from Travis County. I don't live in Travis County. I do live within the Austin City limits (see you hipsters this weekend), and according to the way this is worded, they can still summon me. Of course, they can (and have) summoned me in Williamson County, where I live. Shark move? Should I just go down there and tell them my hair is telling me to kill?

While I'm grateful GM sent me $2,060, he still owes me $25.

Son, stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse. People are no damn good, but they will always need land and they'll pay through the nose to get it! Remember," my father said...
Picked up the Old Forester Birthday Bourbon today. That bottle is so awesome and the color of the bourbon .... I want it.

So CSI has basically become another JAG and NCIS right? Pretty much dedicated to an audience 65 and older?
I can't believe this is still on.
