There's a quirky gift shop around here that sells a plastic thing - you press it against a piece of bread before you toast it, and then the toast pops out with an image of Jesus on it. It's become my wedding present of choice.T Bell said:God @TheTweetOfGod 3m
Sometimes Jesus appears on toast, sometimes pancakes, sometimes waffles. Always on breakfast food. Why? It's the most important meal.

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I sent you my payment. It was a $500 bill. You owe me $487.50 in change.Tecumseh said:

I did the 'Bob' when I was 15. I was on a cruise with my parents and remember hearing someone scream 'DON'T' as I was breaking the water. It ended up being a really, really good thing that I did a forwardish dive instead of one straight down. So I didn't end up with a head vag, but the chest was plenty scratched up.

I won't FB friend him until we meet IRL, what makes you think I would give him my cell number?

Dylan wore the Union hat we bought him at the Lincoln Museum to school yesterday.
So there is this motorcycle ride that comes through St. Louis every year called the Ride of the Century. Basically 4,000 idiots on crotch rocket bikes invade St. Louis and lay waste to Highway 70 doing crazy ### stunts. I got caught in the traffic last year from these ####ers.
Just had to vent a little as we go into the week end and these screw balls will be out all week end on the highways screwing around. Also, the MO state highway patrol puts out lots of extra patrols and road blocks to catch them which is great but also throws everything off when there is a freaking cruiser ever 10 miles on the highway.

"Big Stat FF" or "Big Picture FF" Has anyone ever heard of this?
Every week you start:
1 Head Coach
1 Team
1 QB
1 Offense
1 Defense
I'm not sure of the actual scoring (points) but it's something along the lines of:
Coach: If you head coach wins his game you get 100pts. If he loses you get 0
Team: If your team wins you get 100pts. If they lose you get 0. There might also be a "spread bonus" where you get 4 or 5 times the number of points they win by. So if you started the 49ers and they win by 10 you get a total of 140 or 150pts.
QB: Your QB wins you get 100pts. Losing = 0. Don't think there's any bonuses available there.
Offense: You get the total amount of total offensive yards they gained that day. If you have the Pats and they put up 500 yards of you get 500pts.
Defense: You must subtract the total amount of yards your Defenses gives up that day. If you the Bears and they give up 392 yards to the other team you subtract that from your score. I think there might be a rule where you only have to subtract half of the yards they give up.
When you draft you can take 2 of each of the above. You may not double up when it comes to Coach, Team, or QB. Meaning you can't have Brady, the Pats, or Belichick or any 2 of the 3.
But you can take the Pats as your Offense or Defense even if you have Brady, the Pats Team, or Belichick.
I also think there is a strict limit on trades and FA. Maybe only a couple per year. There might also be a rule about QB injuries. If your QB is out you are stuck with his back-up.
Anyone?

You guys know how much of a risk-taker I am ( 
).
I'm going to a party tomorrow and it's been decided that a bunch of us will have to stay at my friend's home since he lives on a mountain that's hard to drive sober. Knowing this, I bought an air mattress. It's still in the box, so I have no idea if it works. I've told myself all week I'd bust it out and give it a test run. I haven't. I feel like the car salesman in that episode of Seinfeld who finally comes around to Kramer's side of "driving til you pull into the gas station running on the last drop".
On another note, anyone here know the band Pink Martini? Lounge-y with an edge.

Don't know them, but they're coming to the Meyerhoff next Saturday. Would be happy to meet you for a drink before, if you're going. Though I just looked at the link and realized it's a "Gala Concert," whatever that means. Maybe you will have to buy a new ball gown.

Seriously, props to D-Man for wearing the Union hat. That's a winner's hat.

They are incredibly talented and something of a legend around these parts (Portland natives). You might catch teh gay if you stand too close to their piano player, but he's one hell of a musician. I've got a CD of theirs somewhere in my garage. I'm not sure how I'd describe their music....lounge-y is pretty good. They do a lovely cover of Que Sera where I'm quite certain the female vocalist is making love to my ears.

Yeah, I wore a suit and tie when they played our company event. They're a sophisticated lot. The lead singer is probably an Ofdee 5.7 but a GM 8 with her sultry voice. 
Full disclosure, I give Natalie Merchant the same grade, so YMMV.

Yesterday we were talking about the patriot Samuel Adams. Of course the kids want to know if he's the guy that makes/made the beer.
I told them "the Sam Adams beer company is only about 30 years old. The just named the company after him because he is a hero in Boston. It would be like me starting a beer company and calling it 'Abe Lincoln Beer'."
Right after class this kid comes up to me and says "If you actually named a beer company after Abraham Lincoln you know what you should call it? 'Lincoln Lager'"
That kid is going places.
