OK,OK

Me FIRST

Shotgun!

Hey, SallieMae, since we're all alone here, how 'bout a *smooch*

Sallie and MV - get a room ... Okay, let me alter that. Get a different room. No online kissy-face here. This is football dag-gammot.

dag-gammot

OK,OK

Looking it up on webster www.m-w.com ... can I get an assist MV Dame? *hugs*

OK,OK

I just gotta tell ya, I just spent 8 hours last night in the library. In a law library. Should the opportunity ever arise for you to go sit in a law library 4 days before law exams commence, don't.

Let me clue you in. Law students are anal-retentive freaks. Well, most of them. The rest of them, me included, have coping mechanisms that basically involve us either screwing off or pissing everyone around us off. Usually both.

SO I am trying to study. There is this humungous sign on the wall that says "no eating. No talking. No cell phone activity. Offenders will be removed, etc, etc." Really scary she-it. I am high on adderall, (I am rotating between adderall and ritalin for studying. Someday I will look back on sentences like that one and wonder when I became a pillhead and when I actually acknowledged it. But Not yet.) So I am trying to wrap my mind around the acceleration clause exception to the rule of anticipatory repudiation (it's gone) and this tiny girl sits down next to me at a little study booth. She unpacks. Everyone in the room huffs in annoyance as she settles in. It was the main noise all day. A hundred law students huffing in frustration at each other, mostly when people came and left.

We are all high on study drugs, crabby, and on a deadline. The girl next to me pulls OUT AN APPLE AND CRUNCHES INTO IT. CRUNCH, snorf, snorf, snorf, snorf, gulp. Smack. CRUNCH, snorf, snorf, snorf, snorf, gulp. Smack. CRUNCH, snorf, snorf, snorf, snorf, gulp. Smack. CRUNCH, snorf, snorf, snorf, snorf, gulp. Smack. CRUNCH... people are huffing. People are shooting her so many evil looks that some of them deflected off her and stuck to me, probably because she was hot and I was not.

I turn to her, smile politely, and whisper, "take the freakin apple outside or I am going to beat your arss."

"EXCUUUUUUUSE ME?" she asks.

"SHHHHHHHH!" huffs everyone within 30 feet.

I pointed to the door.

"IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, SAY IT!" she yawps.

SHHHHH. SHHHHH. SHHHHH. SHHHHH.

I stand up. I am a tall gal. I have her by a good 6 inches. "TAKE. THE. MOTHER EFFIN APPLE. OUTSIDE."

She got up and ran outside. She returns with a security guard. I am back to anticipatory repudiation.

"HER!" she squawks. "SHE THREATENED ME!"

Point of information - a security guard at a law school has little to no power, KNOWS everyone looks down on him, and TAKES ADVANTAGE OF ANY CHANCE TO WIELD HIS SQUIRTGUN.

"I did not threaten her. I threatened her apple."

He hitches up his pants. "I think we have a problem here."

Brilliant, sherlock. It is statements like that that are the reason I am on THIS side of that uniform and you are on THAT side.

"Go eat a donut. Take the be-itch with you so she can eat her apple. BUT SHUT UP SO THE REST OF US CAN STUDY!"

Everyone clapped - and then immediately shooshed each other for clapping.

Silence. The security guard tries to stare me down ... yea like THAT's gonna happen. Tiny sorority girl informs me she is going to "report me". I have no idea what that means. I may get sent to the principals office. Do we have a principal? Security guard, also shorter than me, hisses that if he has to come back, he is going to forcefully remove me. I start laughing. Someone oinks. My first thought was that it was a veiled insult about my extra 2 pounds I carry on my arss. Then I realized, no, everyone was on my side. Security guard goes over and starts messing with the oinker. Someone else oinks. Someone else stretches and cracks a knuckle and is immediately and forcefully shooshed.

Sorority girl loudly gets her stuff and moves. I guess I had cooties or something.

She sat down across the library, PULLED OUT HER PHONE AND CALLED HER FRIEND TO TELL HER WHAT A BE-ITCH I WAS. Ahhhh, you should have heard the huffing and shishing. My friend came on shift at the front desk. He had her tossed.

I still have no idea what anticipatory repudiation is, and my adderall is wearing off and my head hurts.

But yes, I am still winning friends and influencing people and spreading joy wherever I go.

Dag-gammot defined:
You're flirting with disaster
So cease and desist

Anticipatory repudiation is an action by one party (either active or passive) making it impossible to fullfill part or (more typically) all of a contract. In this case, the other party in the contract need not perform part or all of their obligations. The other party is not liable for breach if this happens.

Silly SallieMae,

Why must you post stuff from Craigslist?

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/71020820.html

Cold it be that salliemae is just posting best of craigslist stuff here, on JlaC's blog? Nice catch Skinz.

I have to say that as annoying as it is, the one about the dead cat was very funny.

Watch the Parcells Monday press briefing. If you haven't tried it already, I highly recommend it. It is so choice.

OK,Ok
Actually, saved emails but this is the third time I've been *outed* and I just started last Tuesday (a week ago).

*hugs* to all. It's so fun.

Next season, Byron Leftwich is scheduled to make $5 million in base salary. The Jaguars are not going to want to pay him that much money if he's not the starter, which means the team could look to entertain trade offers. Leftwich would love the opportunity to go back home to play for the Redskins, and he also finds the Bears appealing.
-- NFL.com

For those of ya'll coming on the New Orleans trip, if ya'll need a tour guide, let me know. I'd love to meet some diehards, especially those who are giving up a couple days to help rebuild this great city of New Orleans. I'm trying to wrangle tickets to the game myself, so hopefully I'll see ya'll there, but seriously, I'd love to show ya'll around.

Uh oh. Now we'll have people daydreaming about Leftwich. I bet Gibbs is drooling over the thought, wonder what we'll give up for him? All our 1st round picks 'til Iraq is a peaceful democracy?
Superfriends on the D-Line, Dangermouse at QB and Papa Smurf calling the plays from tha booth.

I have always loved Leftwich. I don't think that dude will ever be that super tight QB that leads a team but he can be a good one for a great team. I don't know if that made sense.

I do know this, on the last post, someone said Starscream wasn't that bad. That's like saying, 'I respect the way Johny Runyan plays'. Starscream sucks.

My dog Soundwave summed it up perfectly:

'Soundwave superier, Starscream Inferior'.

Also, and I'm going to dork out on everyone right here, they got the original voice of Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) to do the same in the movie. They are working on getting the Megatron from the original (Frank Welker, who also did Starscream).

And Skinz, right on about when Robotech aired. The time slot it occupied the most was the 8:00 AM one that only super special ADD kids like myself would be up to see. Bang.

Does anyone realize that we are playing the iggles this week? How in the world are we going to stop them? Whatever, we beat dallas. Everyone say that outloud once to remind us all that there is still good in the world worth fighting for.

I was once friends with a dude who looked like Papa Smurf.

Where would we put the Thundercats?

Skinz, I had the same thought about Leftwich myself last week (before the NFL figured it out). Not that there is a pattern, but it would be a former Jaguar QB, hose for an arm (NOTE: I disagree with people who call Brunell's arm noodly ... its not a noodle ... he's just become cowardly across the middle ... its that right handed pat he does on the ball right before he throws that screws up his timing), not much of a scrambler.

Admittedly, Brunell seems more willing to scramble than Leftwich, but Leftwich is 4 inches taller than Brunell and gets a better view of the field over the line. [Leftwich is an inch taller than Jason, but I've thought that Jason's height will be a significant benefit to him once he actually gets a chance to play.] Note: Peyton Manning is the same height as Leftwich. If you don't want to do the math --> Leftwich/BBM are 6'5"; Campbell is 6'4" and Brunell is 6'1".

Bottom line: Leftwich fits Gibbs' wish list. Plus he got 25 on the Wonderlic compared to Brunell's 22, which means he's Super Smart. [Jason got 14 the first time, then 27 and 28 on subsequent attempts.]

where are my blue high heels! if i have to ask one more time...................

Thundercats would be the cheerleaders, yo. Raaaaawrrrrrr....

You guys are hilarious. You all kill the skins every minute of every day for their FA over draft strategy and how we always win the offseason and now you are all talking about Leftwich. I love Leftwich. I think he is awesome. I think he is a leader. But we already drafted the future. Remember that. The answer is not getting Leftwich. The answer is pressure the QB, stop the run, and score tichdowns.

AH FUCC

Guy's we are talking about kicking Marky Mark out and starting JC and now you guys are actually thinking "hey, let's add leftwich" to this three way love affair?

Let's find one damn QB that is YOUNG who has some promise and stand behind him and move forward. I'm 25 damn years old and can't remember the last time we had a QB who at one point did not go through something!

TO - THE GOV

Why did you pick that name?

Soundbites of Soundwave
"Prepare for oblivion"
"Laserbeak, eject!"

Ravage eats Thundercats for breakfast...

I never said anything about Leftwich being QB, I just posted what was said on NFL.com.

Relax. I'd like to see what JC can do.

From, that fat bleep, Pasquarelli:
It might be hyperbole to suggest the NFL has been relegated to a league of haves and have-nots. Certainly the superiority of some franchises, unlike in baseball, isn't reflective of the money invested in player payrolls. Just try asking Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder about that. And there are still, nearly every weekend, upsets that boggle the mind. But not quite as many of them.

He's just a bitter guy, and goes out of his way to take pot-shots at the Skins. He's a complete tool!

Leftwich was benched for good reason: he's a friggin statue in the pocket. Even the so-called "pocket quarterbacks" today (BBM, Brady, Carson, The Other Hasselback) are athletic enough to move around when feeling pressure. Leftwich is a young Drew Bledsoe. Stop looking for castoffs. Leftwich is getting pushed out -- NFL teams rarely allow a good player to leave willingly (exception: Drew Brees). Read between the lines, people. He's not that good.

I propose that we replace our defensive line with Grimlock, Sludge, Slag and Snarl of the Dinobots. There'll be never a problem with an effective passrush ever again. Of course, it'll bring up deep questions for the NFL as a whole, such as, "What's the personal foul penalty for eating the passer?"

Oh, and Swoop can become the captain of the punt team, so Archubingas can be freed up for another position, like "NFL's highest paid Gatorade technician", or something.

Dinobot pass rush
Pushes Philly air attack
To near extinction

Good Point Flim. I've heard rumors that Botox Boy in Dallas has contacted the agent for Bash and Vortex. I hear Satan, Jerry Jones and Bash's agent are tight.

What our defensive line lacks in smarts, they make up for in Dynamo!

Redskins not Cartoons
Are what we need on Sunday
Though, Robotech rules

Thundercats were of course, supertight. The problem though, was the show had some 1st class bamas: Snarf sucked, Wiley Kit and Wiley Kat were just terrible. That said, Mumra the Ever-Living was an incredible bad guy. The show jumped the shark though when they added the 'Luna-tacks' so you never knew who the T-Cats were battling.

The Sword of Thundara belongs at Redskins Park.

FlimFlam....yes man...yes.

As to the Pasqersmelli's and peter king's of the world, always remember that these are chooches. Top flight chooches from Choochtown in the Choochtoba Province of Choochnia. Those guys blow bubbles in the collective milks of the few GMs that will talk to them and give them that 'inside info'. Both those dudes didn't get love in Ashburn so they are always going to be bitter.

They'll kill the Danny for something (right or wrong) but they'll spin it if Jones or any other owner makes a simliar move and praises them for 'going out and getting players'. I hate both of them and hope they run into each other to form a Jabba the Hutt like creature that writes articles about the Patriots and is mocked by others.

Your cartoons are to modern.

The O-line OR D-line should be:

Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky (
a wild bunch of nameless guys in costumes of scruffy, unidentifiable creatures)

Anyone?

AMTFS you just made my day with that one.

From here on out the hell with 980. I got to listen to the Riggo Show. I just turned it on (thanks to 4th Floor) and Riggo just said Jessica Simpson looks like a man. Don't agree with him but damn it that wasn't funny.

Diddy -

somebody took my purple thong, what if it is the same culprits? that was my favorite one:(

5th floor, I see your Banana Splits, but I think you're punfnstuf to be so down on the D-line (the D has 4, the O has 5). Having Cornelius (who I guess would have to be Bingo or Drooper) back was big this week, so no need to mock just yet.

Also, other than the flirting btwn MVDame and SallieMae at the begining, does it seem this thread has drifted away from the topic about helping folks in New Orleans?

dcsween

Great point. I know it going to be great to head down to help. If I remember correctly there were some regs that said they would help those that were going. I hope you keep your words and contact Scott about that.

I heard another "rumor" this morning....seems Damon Huard (playing lights out in KC) will be a free agent after this season......Al Saunders...Damon Huard? I think not, though, as he already brought Todd Collins with him and we all know how well that is going....

Pasquarelli is a biased jerk. And despite his obvious insistence to the contrary, he can't write. You can always assume a guy who uses 50 cent words when 10 cent words will do is someone who is masking a clear lack of talent.

I also despise Dr. Z. There's a dude with an inflated sense of self-importance.

Peter King is largely innocuous to me.

NEWS ALERT

HEATH SHULER is now in the US CONGRESS!!!

ohh heath, sweet heath. i wonder if snyder'll invite him to a game.

you guys have to read the article on archieletta:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/07/AR2006110700916.html

i guess there's only one thing for him to do...give some of the signing bonus back to snyder just like lavar did this past season and make that flight to chicago that he never made in april.

Oh, Deal, you beat me to it. It's true. The Heath Bar will be wandering the halls of Congress, looking as lost as he always did. Wasn't he supposedly dumber than a bag of rocks? Politically, he is a classic Blue Dog, virtually indistinguishable from the Republican he beat. However, (excuse the overt politics), but if it means a Dem majority I'll take it

anyone post this yet?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1knSHK6-Xe0&mode=related&search=

Great post Meg. That helps us 'skins fans that can't catch all the video highlights of all the games. Much better than listening to Larry the homer give us misinformation before he corrects himself.

On another note, we are 3-5 this year because of the defense and that alone. If Brunell was playing like this in 2004 we never would have had Patrick 'cause 22 points would have been enough. Please stop wasting space with the dead horse of MB's dead arm, at least we're throwing over the middle now. That's all I want from him - that and no picks. Brady threw 4 last week against the Colts, talk about wasting decent defense.

Now, I know this won't stop the rant. That will only stop if Brunell steps up his game and the 'skins win another 3 in a row. Then at 6-5 the 'play Cambell now' rant may cease.

Sportscenter just put up a graphic showing the Skins record in years when the House changed hands between parties -- and it is NOT pretty. I think the most wins on the board (looked like about 5 seasons worth) was like 3 or maybe 5. Not good.

Cuz, you know, voting and football are directly related. LOL

Hey, in a season where there's a lot of questions with no answers, why not grab for every needle in the haystack while we're at it?

Why is everyone breaking John From Herndon's Heart?

Dudes and lady dudes, I think my Blidentity (blogger identity) has been compromised. Somebody posted something about a purple thong as my alias. Can we agree that it's only tight to do this when mocking boofer.org because he is a bama?

Cindy, is there a way to track where these shabingi come from?

I let out a stream of loud curse words last night when I saw Shuler, Heathcliff on the screen with a check mark by his head. My special lady friend asked me why I was upset. I was too frustrated to tell her. I went and got my computer, did a google search, and pointed. Brought back so many memories of ineptitude and sadness. That man represents everything that stinks about being a redskins fan. He is THAT uncle that went to prison in your family that no one talks about.

iggles. Sunday in the city that God forgot. Let's do this.

Not Skins related, but I saw this Post story (linked from Czabe's site) about an evil youth football commish who killed a team's playoff run because his kid didn't play the right position. Can you believe this guy?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/03/AR2006110301819.html

If anyone cares to contact him, here's his email: commissioner@southcountyyouth.org

Can we start talking about Philly now?

JLaC - What is their current injury status?

Troy Vincent - NFC's Special Teams Player of the Week, Week, Week.......

4th Floor: Good zards comments yesterday. Respect.

mcNabb is healthy. I think that pretty much sums up what should worry us. I am so excited for those downs where he was 8 seconds to throw...I just threw up in my mouth a little.

New rule for AMTTS: I do not talk to anyone wearing green during philly week. Bang. I propose a Blaw be ratified.

I hereby nominate Mr. Hinkle, said commissoner of the aforementioned youth football league, for the very first awarding of The Golden Shabingus, for his excellence in promoting the worst example of parents turning a fun game into a vehicle for parental vanity, and being a general pillock and a mighty tosser.

Do I have a second?

Hey, Art! Yes, there is a way to track sources of postings and if there is a repeated issue, we'll block the poster. Meanwhile, just holler if you didn't post something and I'll use my mad powerz to kill it. Or if, say, someone is lifting from other sites, say, craigslist, let me know and I'll take out the death ray.
Frankly, I was pretty sure you weren't a purple thong kind of guy.

Here's today's schedule at Skinzland:

Open locker room from 12:45-1:45; practice is at 2:15 (we can watch till 2:45); coaches/players available coming off the field around 4:15.

As for Heath Shuler vs. a bag of rocks...well, I suppose time will tell. :)
With Kansas booting Jim Ryun, though, Heath has to be the fastest Rep.

Did anyone notice Carlos Rogers "a.k.a." name on that Eastern Motors commercial was "The Interceptor"? WOW.

H-Man, been keeping up with all your stuff and must say that you've been on fire, limerically and otherwise. And, except for maybe a couple of skipped weather reports, I read ALL of the comments, just like JLC. Seriously, I don't know how this beat-reporting, real-article-writing, best-blog-hosting, Chloe-loving, bugga-bugga-trick-or-treating, Iron-Maiden-listening, pub-crawling, soccer-watching, TCCL-awarding, (insert-your-own-thing-here)-ing guy does it. He's inhuman. And poor Cindy. She's the one that has to keep up with him and keep him in check...

Incidentally, Cindy, if my calculations are anywhere near accurate, then as of 11:18 am, November 8, 2006, we're almost exactly 200 comments away from 10,000. Am I close?

I'll appease 4th floor.

Jon Runyan is probably my least favorite player in the NFL over the past 5-6 years. I can't stand his stupid look. He may be the hairiest man I have ever seen as well. I loathe him.....I feel better now.

Sorry, not appeased. I would be appeased if we can score more points then them. I can imagine this game being atleast in the 20s, prob 30s. We just gotta keep up with them since McNAbb average's like 40 pass play per game..........

If you said you didn't like Trotter, I might could have believed you....

Trotter is such a sand-bagger. The guy should be be nicknamed Steve Miller for the way he showed up in Washington singing, "go on take the money and run."

editor, now we know your power. btw, i assume that even when we use different "names" you immediately know who we are right? say i use "LG" you know it's me since you can see our e-mail address?

anyways...i have to get something off my chest. you know when you see someone (of opposite sex or same sex if you're gay) who's attractive, they're like candy to the eyes, visual pleasure, sweet but not thick, not long lasting. but then on very very very very rare occasions your eyes lock onto someone's eyes and it completely throws your whole life(everything you were doing) off. it makes your head spin. and you can't stop thinking not just about the person but examining your whole life.

well that happened to me today at 9:02 AM. after a very very very long time. and it sorta made me feel good, wholesome.

i'm sorry i couldn't find anyone else to tell to. and i knew if i kept this in i'd be still thinking about it later...which wouldn't be a nice thing to do.

no, i'm not sallie-mae...or a craig's list post. i just had to get it off my chest.

btw, what's the obsession with john runyan? i never noticed the dude before.

-LG

I might could have believed you

4th floor, are you from North Carolina? I have only heard this combination of words (might could have) in this state. If you start talking about going out for some sweet tea, I'll know it to be true.

I actually used that sequence on purpose because it sounded weird......

Chevy Chase during the day
Landover at night

To Four Fingers, I chose the name because I am a governor.

Can someone tell me who blew up that Cowboy (#76) on the Taylor runback. That guy was absolutely destroyed by a Redskin. Turns out it was Holdman.

The Woomba. It cleans your noonie. And I like that.

Don't forget Lexington BBQ Joe.

I'm not from NC, but "might could" is one of my number one favorite colloquial constructs, but I've never seen it in the past tense. As for sweet tea, anybody tried the new stuff from McDo's? Sadly, it's extremely good. And it shouldn't be. But I drink one a day. Best caffiene/sugar delivery vehicle available.

Actually, identifying bloggers isn't as simple as you make it sound, LG. We don't actually see your email addresses in the blogging tool we use. It could easily be determined, but I'd have to ask someone with madder skillz than mine. Honestly, I'd prefer not to look into your personal info. When I use the posting tool, I just see the comments and your chosen name. For all I know, there's only one of you talking to us! So I edit based on offensive or plagiarized content. Or someone protests that he does not own a purple thong. I prefer that this are be free-wheeling and you guys do a pretty good job of keeping our little area tidy.

MV Dame, you have skillz that killz!!!!!

WE ARE AT 9,818.

Follow me to the newer thread ("A Shootout in Philly?") for information on a special prize for the 10,000th post....

Actually, identifying bloggers isn't as simple as you make it sound, LG.

At a guess, I'd say (neither being employed by WaPo, nor familiar with their blogging software) there's probably an IP signature connected with any given comment. And, although IP addresses often vary from session to session, a "genuine" poster and an imitator, providing they both post in a reasonably short time frame, should be fairly easy to distinguish. Yes no?

Addressing the issues just discussed one at a time:

1. These phony posts (most of them seemingly related to women's clothing) are, IMO, a residue of the Boofer-Spoofer we saw throughout Sunday and Monday

2. Our serial re-poster (whom I guess never actually claimed authorship for her absurdly long, usually pointless and un-entertaining posts) seems to have abandoned her scheme of plagiarizing to (i think) appear smart, and is now posting sincere, original, and reasonably-sized (1 or fewer full screens) messages

So, while these things are indeed annoying, and should be curtailed, I don't think a blogging patriot act (or even a moderator) would be necessary or useful.

North Carolina BBQ is the best. Everything else is just cooked meat as far as I'm concerned. Sweet Tea... I'm not a fan. But I recognize its place beside BBQ and hush puppies. Virginia's contribution to the BBQ-sphere is Brunswick Stew. I'm told the best stew-masters are from central VA.

That's right, there is a such thing as a stew-master. If you want to know how to make a good Brunswick, you might could ask one.
