That was hard. Ripped my heart right out. We are a small Church. 50 or so on an average Sunday so we're more like a family.

Wow, they sure seem giddy over at http://mittromneycentral.com/

Is Mitt Romney inevitable at this point?

Yes, the next big fight will be his VP.  I suggest people vote against Romney in all of the late contests, even if it is for Ron Paul. Romney needs to know that the base is reluctant to support him and if he wants our efforts, then he'll have to give us something in return. Preferebly a young conservative VP who will be the next in line for the Presidency come 2016 or 2020 should Romney get two terms

Some giggling college girls bought one of the dildos, loudly stating they were doing so because they intended to give it as a joke to some other chick.  They had to ask the skinny male doof selling the thing for a bag. ("Like, sure, mister, like I really want to walk down the street with a freaking dildo in my hand!")

In any sort of situation living together, you soon determine that you have preferences in places they have neuroses. And if you just like the corners of your pillowcases tucked in a certain way while they figure that they need to be another way or you'll smother in your sleep, it isn't worth fighting about.

So married guys have to prioritize, and only accept conflict over the most important things in life. Things like the nature of interstellar life, the best scene in any Three Stooges feature, acceptable ways of taking out the trash.... All other potential conflicts -- by definition, the less important -- you might as well just let her make the call.

In my neck of the woods, it's a 1980's vintage GM 4-door tricked out with chrome rims, etc.  In my experience, the misunderstood minority youths prefer the 4-door vehicles because you can pack more homies in them and it's easier for all the occupants to bail out at once during a traffic stop.

I'm disheartened at the trend of the police essentially being directed to ignore criminals and go after the middle class because they actually pay their fines.  I'd be lying if I said I never gave middle class folks tickets but I always gave violators 15 mph over the limit -- that way I identified drivers who had absolutely no intention of driving close to the speed limit. 

However, I found better pickings by stopping cars with equipment violations.  I wasn't interested in the equipment violation (other then to tell the driver to fix his car) but about one-third of the time I find the driver had a warrant or suspended drivers license.

Hope you still got all your parts LRob.

Thanks for the advice, but I haven't started Batman yet.  Oddly, I can't multitask when it comes to video games.  If I start one in earnest, I have to finish it (or get very damn close to finishing) before I start different game.

Dead Island is still sub-par and doesn't live up to its full potential, but it's fairly good once you figure out the combat nuances and master using the map.  Some of the weapon modifications are ridiculous, but I'm happy with swinging large clubs at the massed hordes of the undead (or whatever they are).

Not that I ever liked the Cowboys when Tom coached them, just he was a more respectable adversary than that dipwad Jones.

Yeah that's my view too.  I mean just think it through.  You're going to get rid of Manning and go with someone who may or may not pan out?  And then consider the trade efforts.  Ok say he's "damaged goods." He's still got that huge contract then even for a player that's supposedly damaged goods.  And if he's not damaged goods and definitely worth that contract he has and the money he is due then why in the hell are you willing to get rid of that?  Its not like he's really suffered a downslide yet.

I remember a comment/discussion last year about how Peyton was having a bad year.  So I went and looked at his stats from this "bad" year and the year before where he took the Colts to the Super Bowl.  He had maybe one or two more interceptions, was identical on touchdown passes, and he had several hundred more yards passing in this supposedly bad year. 

If they traded him the Jags Titans and Texans Defenses would probably all have a collective going away party.

Thank God we got guys like Gary Sinise on our side.

Goodnight all. I wish you all good, and Peace and blessings for 2012. Lets hope America the good graces she deserves!

However, if we get the obama madness in 2012, I pray the that  you good people are still here, because America needs you, as do I!

Is any of that Austrian?  Crap, I don't speak that either, never mind.

So my girlfriend got the night off work. I decided to back out hanging with the boys so we could go out together. We were invited by one of her former co-workers to go out with her new boyfriend.

We get to his place and have a driver coming to pick us up. Everything is great. He seems like a nice guy and I've met her before, very nice. I pop a beer and sit on the couch, and as I'm talking, I try to ignore the leather sex whip that was left out on the couch next to me. Awkward.

She puts on a leather corset. She's a pinup girl who loves to dress up, so she looks great. But before we leave. . . he puts on a leather collar with rings on it. . . like, for a leeshe. Oooooookaaaaaaaayyy. . .

We get to the club a few minutes early. It turns out they don't open the doors until 10. We get in, and it's a big place with a giant projector screen on the wall that they're playing cool NASA footage on to the music. The drinks are both cheap and everything is 2 for 1.

My girlfriend takes out her phone because she has to take pictures of EVERYTHING. And we get rushed by a security guard. This guy is old and wearing something that's dangerously close to a dress. Just, not very intimidating security. He tells my girlfriend that there are NO PICTURES ALLOWED IN HERE and gives her the 5th degree investigating any pictures she may have taken on her phone. She's bummed out.

Then about half hour in, this midget goes into the area behind our booth and starts taking off his clothes.

There's a dominatrix. I'm in an S&M club.

I don't look. I don't want to look. I'm a little on edge and feel I wasn't given fair warning. The midget comes running out in his underwear, bound head to toe in ropes.

The friend and her boyfriend gather up their stuff and we move into the dominatrx area. That's where the midget got strapped down in front of everyone and had his nipples vacuumed.

I am getting drunk.

People take their turns with the dominatrix. She puts tape on nipples, hangs people from the ceiling in chains, and flogs people. The friend and her boyfriend go up on stage and she watches as the guy I was having a beer and a chat with earlier gets strung up and flogged.

Z Girlfriend and I got super hammered. Danced and kissed at midnight. We called the driver about an hour early and left. I am scarred for life.

I'm sure that is what they all are saying and believe, but when April and the draft come around, Indy will start having second thoughts. Keeping Manning does nothing for them in the short or long term. The Colts have a ton of holes on their O-Line, and a fragile Peyton Manning will not last long behind that line. Andrew Luck is more mobile and will be able to absorb more punishment behind that line. Also, by trading Manning, the Colts free up cap space and will pick up about a 2nd and 5th round pick in the draft. Use those two on O-linemen, and you have part of your O-line set for the next 10 years.

If they keep Manning, they get drama like the Packers had for 3 years with Favre. That set the Packers back about 2-3 years dealing with that. Plus is Luck doesn't pan out as a QB, well, you have to start over again anyway but this time without Manning as the "guiding hand".

Downside if they trade Manning, Luck doesn't work out,and you have to start back over again, but you  picked up a couple of O-lineman that will help your next QB.

It makes no sense for Indy to keep Manning.

Had a girl I was seeing -- fellow accountant -- who had a client of her own who sent in check stubs and receipt books wrapped in dozens of rubber bands. Odd. So, one night, we're cruising around and she suggests we visit the client.

Turns out it's a bar with a TS/TV cabaret in back. Maitre d' loved that she'd brought a guest and we got the best table for the show.

Quite a bit less intense than Z Ryan's experience, but I know the feeling where "going with the flow" turns into "this flows where??!??"

No, my GF didn't know either. The other couple didn't think it was anything notable to comment on. They just kept saying it's a great place that's different because no one there judges you.

$5 here for one person.  4 bucks on Tuesday's Matinee showing.  Their prices actually dropped.  It used to be $7

Someone had comment last week or so about girls getting either high pitched or whiny and I tried looking for a good clip of Elliot doing that.  I remember finding a few but don't remember if I posted it or not.

TWIST ENDING!

As the retarded guy in The Ringer said "when the fuck did we get ice cream"

Yeah, that guy is married to Christina Hendricks.

Love you!!

thats wow. just plain wow. OMG wow.

Gushie, I was in Minneapolis.

In the end though, I don't get too upset at things. I go with the flow. I'm not pissed that they didn't think to tell me it's an S&M club.

I know I've posted it before, but "stop finishing my awesome jokes" is my fave high-pitched Elliot bit.

Posted by: Waterhouse at January 02, 2012 12:51 AM (jbVeA)

There's also this one.

I'm trying to remember which episode it is.

Jiggily Ball one.  I just linked the bit

"They just kept saying it's a great place that's different because no one there judges you."

The underlined bold section is code ... yet everyone knows what it means. Always listen for it. It's best to discover the meaning via stories of others, as #427 garrett thankfully points out ...

But yours covers just the precise instant.

ok that makes more sense then i guess. Generally on the West Coat its considered rude to bring regular people into a club without warning them and laying out "ok dont stare, no n\camera, this is where we're goin" at the very least. My friend Aurochs has been a bouncer at those places before in LA and in SF in the Castro.

he would have treated a stranger with a camera more roughly.

Was Prince the house band?

Pro-tip: Don't use the flobee.

Resolutions:  Well, since I never keep them, this year I've decided that my resolution will be to gain weight.

Washington's crossing the Delewar:  This portrait still has him standing - not likely given the weather conditions.  There was a TV movie (Discovery or perhaps the History Channel, from back when they made decent shows) called "The Crossing".  Damn good show and seemed to be historically accurate.

I just broke up with my vacuum cleaner.

Yeah I did that once.  Once.

My understanding is that they will be marching in the follow on after the parade, which anyone who wants to is allowed to do.

Thanks for clearing that up, I grew up in socal and didn't even know that.

We just never see it on TV

I don't think were gonna be that lucky.

Late lunch, GGE.

Yeah, it's been a busy night, kind of unexpected since all I'm supposed to be doing is bringing idled equipment back online.

Good use of that new text message language.  Saved six keystrokes there in your hurry.  Good efficiency there.  Now get your ass back here.

Sure, no problems. Standard disclaimer, those are only opinions gleaned from my own observations, YMMV.

Posted by: Tammy al' Thor at January 02, 2012 01:45 AM (SsG4J)

Tammy you are right, I can't argue with that.  Actually being able to see the individual flowers and smell the floats was an experience. Here, have a corner of my man-card.

 ²Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

 ³What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

 ⁴One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

 ⁵The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

 ⁶The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

 ⁷All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

 ⁸All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

 ⁹The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

 ¹⁰Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

 ¹¹There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

I imagine that the Grail probes will be discovering The monolith, or it's non-fiction equivalent, very soon. The tip-off will be a renewed interest in racing our Chinese brethren back to the Moon. No, I am not giving odds!

Either we get a new thread or we start busting windows and burning cars in the street.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Monday, Jan 2, 2012! Time for most morons to get back on their heads. DonÂ’t forget to put 12 after all those stupid numbers. And get started cleaning up the mess as that picture on the ONT hints at.

Latest meaningless poll in Iowa

How bad is it? Pretty damn bad per this.

Remember how the lawless Obama said he did not have to follow the law. Now he says he can add to it.

Basically he says the law is what he says it is. And as long as Congress lets him do it he is right.

Well all that warm weather we have had here lately is long gone

Amazing how bad FDR actually was and how the press hushed it up after he started putting abunch of them in jail. .
