6 Y-not, do you know why bowling is better than golf? Because when I make a bad shot, by ball comes right back to me!

7 Man, getting that one year free subscription to AOSHQ content is a great prize. I have to pay for mine.

8 The whole dog, or just the tastiest parts? On a related note, my wee bully-dog just got back from the vet as she has been very lethargic and in pain, with no obvious cause. She was so bad earlier today that she was shaking and could hardly walk. Yipped in pain when she got up from laying down on the floor. Poor pup. Hope she recovers and is back to her effervescent self soon.

9 Edit for clarity: My ball comes right back to me. Not "by ball".

10 6 Y-not, do you know why bowling is better than golf? Because when I make a bad shot, by ball comes right back to me! -- LOL. That's why I preferred raquet ball over tennis!

13 Here's a list of websites allegedly affected by the Heartbleed bug Heh. OKStupid is on the affected list. My dark heart laughs. Didn't see Ace on the list. Good. I guess that bug only works on 21st century software.

15 Lessee, OKCupid, Slate, and Yahoo are all vulnerable to the heartbleed hack. The list noted those sites with no SSL but I couldn't determine if they were vulnerable or not. Karma's a real bitch OKCupid, isn't it?

20 Yay, no firmware updates appear to be available for my E3000. I should just chuck the damn thing, build a mini PC, install CentOS 6 on it, and use that as a router.

21 I would like to audit these results.

22 Brought up from below as it is important:

Florida/Georgia Morons: Daycare hit and run in Orlando. Guy running.

He abandoned car and rented a SUV at airport.

Be on look out, call 911, if you see a Mazda CSX1 SUV with a Florida license tag of CHR Q41. Report does not state color of SUV.

http://tinyurl.com/lffhvz7

The driver rented this car at Orlando International Airport after hit and run of Orlando daycare center, injuring at least 15, some serious, and killing one little girl.

He is a known criminal, with drug record as well as reckless driving with property damaage. Name Robert Alex Corchado.

Get the word out. Find this bastard.

Over at ESPN, the Puppy Muncher's results were:

President Obama - ESPN_POTUS
PCT 72.9%
Rank 2,987,736
Points 670

Which would be 67 points converted to a Yahoo bracket.

Posted by: Laurie David's Cervix at April 09, 2014 04:59 PM (kdS6q)

24
And the winning ESPN bracket had 1730 points, so Obama was over a 1000 points off the mark.

Solid B+

25 Didn't bother with a bracket this year since the yahoo fuckheads demanded a phone number no matter what.

26 So much red grizzly mama meat in this: PALIN WARNS HOLDER ON GUN BRACELETS: 'YOU DON'T WANT TO GO THERE, BUDDY' ... Palin posted a photo (see below) of the three bracelets she often wears and explained the significance of each: Hey Eric, these are my identifying bracelets: One honors our military; One honors independent Americans who have a healthy distrust of Washington's permanent political class and who will fight against elitists hell-bent on fundamentally transforming the USA; And one celebrates the year 1791 Â– that glorious year our Bill of Rights came to be, with the cross and bones symbol representing our FoundersÂ’ "Death to Tyranny" commitment, and on each side you'll see symbols of my faith. Complete with Swarovski crystals, I might add." "Eric, you can replace my identifying bracelets with your government marker when you pry them off my cold, dead wrists," Palin then added. http://tinyurl.com/phnfkcc She's a natural.

27 Reagan Reagan's Glorious Bracket 84 --------------------- Well that's convenient.

Posted by: MJ at April 09, 2014 05:08 PM (oari7)

28 We bracket Conservatives. It's....not exactly what you think and we have approval from the White Hu....errrrr..House. Does that matter?

29 So tomorrow Obama and the local Dem rep and the local Dem Senator(s) and the Dem Governor be gonna visit the Oso, WA landslide disaster area, on way from / to fundraisers no doubt. Can you believe it, today in Seattle Times is a big front pager about how an expert says nobody could have predicted the slide would go so far so fast. Totally un-expectedly. Gosh, isn't all them Dems lucky that expert got onto the front page just before they all showed up? They must be living right, so to speak, since otherwise people would be talking about how the Democrat govs/senators/preznits for the past many years ignored those other experts' warnings about it.

30 She's a natural. Posted by: artisanal Â‘ette at April 09, 2014 09:05 PM (IXrOn) Holder is a criminal & an idiot. I never knew he was as stupid as he is until last night when I watched some videos at The Right Scoop from yesterdayÂ’s hearings. Thank you.

34 What about President Obama's bracket picks? Why don't you display them? Because he probably won and you people don't want to give him the credit for being smart.

Posted by: Dorcus Blimeline at April 09, 2014 05:38 PM (iB0Q2)

36 Who cares about SCOAFT's brackets? Aren't the media pissed off at him because he is going to fundraisers after Fort Hood service today? I read part of a link from Mark Levin's show. I don't want to hear anything about The JEF unless I have to.

Posted by: Carol at April 09, 2014 05:44 PM (gjOCp)

49 I'm going to bed soon, as I have a big day tomorrow. But I want to thank each and every one of you for putting up with my shit during my difficult time(s). I now have professional counsel, blood pressure is under control, and got a plan. Just got off the phone with my best friend from old times, and that gave me a lot of hope and perspective. I just wanted to thank all of you in the Horde. Thanks!

Dude, check the FAQ for the blog.

You are supposed to include, "But first, you will blow me" at the end of that.

56 Okay, this is all very interesting, but where are the trophies? The tuxedos and stunning gowns? The orchestra? Show numbers? Thank-you speeches?
