I like the idea of an extra hour of sleep
But in reality it just means I wake up at 7 a.m.

Yeah...I woke up in the middle of the night
The clock beside my bed said 3:30, but it was 2:30 according to my computer. The extra hour didn’t help.
Where are my shoelaces?
Damnit! They had an extra hour overnight to conduct negotiations.
I expected some hot hot-stove action to have gone down by the time I woke up, but no. Hop to it!

So apparently Brad Penny got engaged to a chick from Dancing With the Stars
And as a result of people googling Brad Penny, this site has twice as many hits at 1130 a.m. on a November Sunday than it normally does all day on an off-season weekday. All because SC wrote a very brief story in 2008 when Brad Penny signed with the Red Sox.
Google is funny.

I think the 2006 Orioles were all about lard
And really any team featuring Kevin Millar.
Librarians are hiding something
another tip, not that you asked
I roll out the crust and than put it on a piece of wax paper (which I have traced a circle on), and then peel it off the wax paper. It definitely helps keeping it from breaking.
Librarians are hiding something
another tip
after it’s rolled out the way you want it, roll it lightly around the floured rolling pin to transfer it to the pie pan. pick up the pin with crust on it and unroll it over the pan.
MUCH easier than trying to slide it or pick it up.

just use your fingers and very cold butter, chop the butter up into maybe 1/4 inch cubes and squeeze away.

Surprisingly, the Bills are an 8:4 favorite over the Bears, while only Anthony Gaug and I picked the Texans.
I don't think that's a surprise
The Bills have come close to winning many times, combined with Jay Cutler’s stupidity on the field, I think the Bills are a smart pick.

I once got a huge box of corn for 5 bucks. More corn than a dozen and a half of us could eat.

Freshly picked is the way to go.
Grocery stores have fruit shipped from who-knows-where. You don’t get tree ripen apples at the grocery store. That’s the secret to good fruit and veggies. Simple, but true.

what I learned last year
was the raw stuff is definitely better than the safer cooked variety, at least when you make both the day of. People are scared of salmonella and whatever, but raw eggs are freaking delicious.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
people shouldn't be scared
no need to cook the eggs. a good egg nog will have enough booze in it to kill anything lurking.
our family recipe (see it in a shot glass above) has bourbon, brandy AND rum. plus eggs, cream, sugar. it’s about the best thing ever.

I don't hate Brett Favre
but he’s tiresome. I dislike AP, I dislike intensely Brad Childress for being such a little bitch all the time, yeah I just dislike them as a whole.

I hate him
He’s such a douche. And clueless. Childress is a bad coach, that’s it. Why hate Adrian Peterson?

I'm guessing Chris Johnson vs. AP for best running back.

no
because he actually said he was faster than Chris Johnson. that’s not just cocky, that’s just dumb. I actually wouldn’t say that I hate him, I just hate people who overhype him for the messiah that he isn’t.

I don't like THAT TEAM in Indianapolis no matter what unis they wear
Hey look, mister - we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere".
That's not how we roll here.

That's cool, dude.
I personally have problem with that. It makes sense, really. If the Orioles moved to another city and kept being called the Orioles and all that, would I be able to just turn it off? I have no idea.

Stacey, thanks for addressing this
I know I may be considered an SOB because I stayed a Colts fan, but the real thing, in my mind, Is a team’s name, colors and insignia should stay with the city. If the Colts would have gone to Indy with another name, I would not have been following them.
The Browns did it right. Their team went to Baltimore, but they kept the rights to their team name and colors. And when they got another team, it was the Browns. Something their city could embrace.
I just wish Baltimore could have done that. I follow the Ravens, and hope they win, but my team is the Colts. That’s just me.
But to stay a fan...
you’re basically rooting for the Irsays. They are the only constant, aside from the uniform. Johnny Unitas went to his grave telling Indy he was not the Indianapolis Colts passing leader, he was the Baltimore Colts passing leader, and told the Hall of Fame he did not want his memorabilia to have “Indianapolis Colts” anywhere with his name.
Hey look, mister - we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere".
I hear what you are saying
and I know Johnny U embraced the Ravens, and not the Indy Colts. Trust me, I am somewhat torn by the decision I have made to follow the Colts. And when Peyton talks about Johnny U, I have to roll my eyes.
And while I hate Papa Irsay as much as anybody, no one can dispute that the Colts have made their team THE NFL franchise team over the last 10 years.
I absolutely know how deep this whole issue cuts, and no one MFed them more than me when they left, but I’m a Colts fan. And an Orioles fan.
I can't it, but glad it works for you.

I can see why
At first, I wasn’t sure seeing regular people shooting at each other with semi-autos was a good thing.
But then I saw it as a literal interpretation of what happens with on-line play, and I kinda got it.
But I can see where some would have a problem with it, and you have a point.

I ordered both Black Ops and GT5 for delivery on Nov. 9th and was debating what to play first.
Lucky(?) for me GT5 got delayed again so I don’t have to make that decision.

I just checked it and I was like, “ooh second place!” then I saw that WW is in front of me with identical picks from here on out so second is the best I’ll do. And I’m still in dead last overall.

Channing Crowder says he was spat on
“Then they said something about they let [Dolphins linebacker] Karlos Dansby get away with a face mask the play before,” Crowder said. “Who the f—- cares? A guy just spit in my face! I don’t give a damn about Karlos pulling somebody’s face mask. Like they didn’t see [Dolphins quarterback] Chad Henne get hit twice when he slid. Yeah, a little Stevie Wonder and Anne Frank.”
Asked what the Anne Frank reference meant, Crowder said “Who was that? Is that the blind girl? Helen Keller … I don’t know who the f—- Anne Frank is. I’m mad right now. F—- it. I’m not as swift as I usually am.”

Aaron Rodgers got me some good fantasy points this week.
Too bad I forgot to set my roster this week. My defense, kicker, rb, and te all had byes. Plus I had Nicks on the bench from the NYG bye last week. Fuck.
