[disneyspy]

this song reminds me of the show CHUCK

[realmenhatelife]

I really could've used Tom Brady this weekend.


Instead of watching the Eagles I went out and bought a denim jacket. I think I made the right decision.

WAS IT A LONG JACKET??

[realmenhatelife]

The playlist gimick is songs that mention items of clothing. No 'detachable penis' by king missle, though.

[realmenhatelife]

WAS IT A LONG JACKET??

A long denim jacket? Who do you take me for, one of The Nasty Boys or Ron in 1993?


They're so stupid, all the denim jackets are sized down by one size. So an XXL jacket is the size of an XL, they even tell you that. So why the hell would you size things exactly one size down?

[disneyspy]

woo hoo fez chimes in early,gonna be a good show today

[Dell]

If fez doesn't have joy now over ND, he never will have joy over anything. I hope they beat USC so they can get annihilated in the championship.

[sailor]

Boy did I have shitty victory this week!

[disneyspy]

when i see people that just roam twitter looking to start shit i unfollow them,there bullshit is so stupid they think their the internet police,kinds like that retard in central florida that patroled his neighborhood with a gun

[realmenhatelife]

This Moe Syzlak is dropping giant paragraph responses to every comment. Some people really lost their shit on this election, like they had money on it.

I hope the Redskins have an impressive win against the Cowboys...I also hope that there are no injuries to any of those athletic young men on both teams

i'm torn between who to hate more this week,the redskins or the buckeyes

Is it possible that my phone number has been spoofed and being used to place telemarketer phone calls?

[disneyspy]

seems like if they can call you and the number says unknown then they should be able to clone your number or input it into their out code

[disneyspy]

RMHL,did you get a complaint? cuz you cant report it to the FTC and let them take care of it

[A.J.]

Thats what I'm reading, however I'm not seeing anyone with my specific complaint. I've been getting a lot of spam on my work computer lately and I wonder if I have a virus that steals phone numbers for spoofing lists of telemarketers. This morning I've gotten two random phone calls from private residences, the one was a hang up and the other was a lady that said "yes, someone called me?"

if you cant dial out then your phone has been cloned and is in use

It's work so if I get another call I'm going to call our IT department. I haven't made any calls today so I havent run into a busy signal. We'll see, like I said it's work so I dont care as much and if my computer finally died I'd be psyched.

ha! prof whatley-are you fuckers ready to give me 4 minutes every 4 hours?

[jennysmurf]

Professor Whatley isn't very good is he? I bet he doesn't even wear a tweed jacket with elbow patches.

Oh no Falco, Watch Smith go off she will be ticked off. If SF D and Forte get 14 ea. it will be close.

[jennysmurf]

Oh no Falco, Watch Smith go off she will be ticked off. If SF D and Forte get 14 ea. it will be close.

Fingers crossed. I've got DSpy on "ignore" until this all blows over.

[disneyspy]

Oh no Falco, Watch Smith go off she will be ticked off. If SF D and Forte get 14 ea. it will be close.

smith couldnt get clearance to play so she made the right choice there but she'll need 20 points from each to make it close,which it wont be

[hanso]

so far i feel like the first hour of this show has been aimed at WF

And I missed most all of it more immigrant talk?

[disneyspy]

hanso,tell smurf i said blow out,not blows over as in i'm going to blow her ass out

[disneyspy]

And I missed most all of it more immigrant talk?

that and anti- obama racisism

[hanso]

I ment 15 must be this lude talk made me put 14

[disneyspy]

hanso,tell smurf that if she had listened to me and picked up carson palmer like i told her to she's only be 28 points behind me and not 41

[disneyspy]

hey hanso,tell smurf i told everyone that flacco sucked in that trades thread

[jennysmurf]

Man, this thread is dead today. Just me and Hanso posting.

[disneyspy]

well hanso,i guess it's just me and you today budday

[disneyspy]

hey hanso,remember that person in our fantasy baseball league that cried at the end and called me a sore winner? you think that was smurf? cuz there's no such thing as sore winners,just sore losers that call the winners sore cuz they are sore

[hanso]

Lol It is 40 read that wrong 33 forte 12 SF D....When someone on this LT said they where dumping Palmer (Dell maybe) that was my advice to her, grab him up.

[disneyspy]

she's a girl which means she's not very smart

I was taking care of business and I feel like a vampire drank a bunch of my blood.

[jennysmurf]

Lol It is 40 read that wrong 33 forte 12 SF D....When someone on this LT said they where dumping Palmer (Dell maybe) that was my advice to her, grab him up.

I had several people telling me what to do, and I couldn't sort it all out. I went for the easy trade that didn't cost me much, and it wasn't the best thing to do. Oh well, live and learn--I've learned not to play FF ever again. It's too stressful for someone who doesn't watch (or even like) football.

[disneyspy]

I was taking care of business and I feel like a vampire drank a bunch of my blood.

well thanks for coming back,me and hanso could use one more person to hang out with while we listen to the show

I try to forget got shit for trades when I had offered up something like two top postion players for one back.

Oh I'm leading the public NBA league had a great draft.

[Dell]

I never had Palmer (only kept Flacco for Bries bye week)...and to defend Jenny, it's hard to take seriously, any advice from someone with a worse record

Not sure. How much did Palmer have? Newton had 18.

[deliciousV]

[hanso]

Oh yeah :bye: that was nice of you. I didn't know it but cbob had made offers weeks before. I missed it on the FFL thread so I wasn't trying to mess up anything.

You are Misti, aren't you? I knew it!

[jennysmurf]

Oof. Made the mistake of calling my parent's house during the last commercial break. I forgot my Mom was at the office today, so I got my Dad. You don't just get off the phone quickly with my Dad. It's like talking to DSpy--he's about the same age as my Dad.

[sailor]

I missed the start of this bit, but they must have mentioned cheers, unless its just movies.

[realmenhatelife]

You are Misti, aren't you? I knew it!

I'm day misti.






And I heard this in my car, Rancid wasn't a pop punk band. They were just a punk band.

[disneyspy]

sorry but smurf called me during the break said she wanted to get off on the phone so we sexted for awhile

she kept calling me "daddy"

[jennysmurf]

It's like Johnny rotten saying those bands weren't punk because they didn't live the punk lifestyle. No different than rappers calling other rappers fake because they didn't grow up as criminals. It's fucking music. Relax.

[disneyspy]

when you were making it did you say "chili today hot tamale"?

[jennysmurf]

He's hardly ever here anymore. I think RMHL killed him. Poor guy.:down:

All this food chat making me hungry just can't decide what to eat.

[realmenhatelife]

I live right near the diner/gas station from The Happening. Noone comes to visit it though.

[deliciousV]

no, you can tell that because I'm still alive. If I had even had such a stupid thought enter my brain I would have removed it with my Mossberg.

i worked on macinac island a couple of years and had a stunning geek chick ask me about some house in SOMEHWERE IN TIME i lied and led her around just to get her

But Johnny Rotten is just being provocative, there are actual musical characteristics that make Rancid not a pop punk band. We wont even talk about emo.

[realmenhatelife]

Is Ron being sarcastic? Pop Culture Pilgrimage is exactly what AV club calls this.

[sailor]

i picked a friend up at fort dix and we just went the cheap route after stopping at atlantic city and got the draft,the picture and the shirt as you leave,we took 4 days getting back for school and had a blast

Were you ever one of the guys in the 'train robbery' bit? My dad told my brother they were shooting bad kids and it scared the shit out of him. I was 1 at the time.

Doesn't everyone eat really early on Thanksgiving? We always ate at like 4.

[disneyspy]

Doesn't everyone eat really early on Thanksgiving? We always ate at like 4.

as a kid in texas we ate during half time of the cowboy game

[A.J.]

Doesn't everyone eat really early on Thanksgiving? We always ate at like 4.

Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas was always appetizers at noon, meal at 1:00PM. That's because my grandfather's brothers hated to drive at night so the earlier we ate, the earlier they could get home.

[Dell]

i dont think i was a mod when that happened

not you...I cannot remember his name, but he was a lawyer up north that used to moderate the listening thread (he also gave me a demerit, something like that, for a sig pic being a few pixels too wide)

[hanso]

What ever time you eat turns out that's when the best game is on, all others were blowouts.

this year i plan to go to BEST BUY at 2:30AM so the crowd has time to filter out,waiting in line last year almost killed me,first thing i did was head for the rest room

Forget black friday, you get fucked in retail having to drive in during every snowstorm, work every weekend, while youre sick, and during every holiday. But for years I worked retail and I dont give a shit. If you dont like it, quit. I did. A store needs to be open when the customers want to spend money.


And Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday.

Bars are packed on Thanksgiving night because everyone is sick of spending all day with their families.

[hanso]

More folks die that time of year as it is just driving around in traffic.

[realmenhatelife]

Ron would also have you believe that his Thanksgiving consists of 48 hours of gentle hand holding and thick cableknit sweaters, pausing from your cider mulling only to give thanks for togetherness.

[disneyspy]

nice thing about having my driving priveldges pulled is i don't have to drive up north this year

had my administrative hearing friday(which is why i had to leave the thread early) and they'll be reinstated 2 weeks after they get my check,sent that same day
