    It's obviously not going to work, and on top of that, the disease this guy has affects the central nervous system, of which the brain is part. Which means even if it did work, (which it absolutely will not, I can't stress that enough), it wouldn't help anything.

    - From the 2004 ALCS Game 4 Gamethread. A reminder that no game is over until the final out is recorded, and things will always get better. Misspellings unchanged as a reminder that Yankees fans are just terrible.

    Too right. My wife was always uncomfortable with mine and we usually just didn't attend.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    I can relate. Life is full of awkward social situations whether you're single or married or whatever you are, unless you're some mindless extroverted tool.

    This forum, on the other hand, is great because I can talk to all you people without actually having to spend time with you.

    People who get bent out of shape if stores say Happy Holidays rather than Merry Christmas.

    My town (well about 5% of it anyway) voted to increase their property taxes so that we could have a fancy new Firehouse/Police Station/DPW sandbox even though what we already had was fine! The Police Station was brand new in the 90's and it's not like our population has exploded since then. I guess the big draw was "well, it allows for the diggers and snow plows to be inside a building at night so that they can be warm and cozy." Instead of trying to just fit it into the town budget and have the Police maybe not buy $75k vehicles to be used for traffic cops they figured that residents should just pay more as it is.

    At least our town councilors don't want medical marijuana to be sold here, so that's a plus! That local tax revenue sure wouldn't help.

    Now that everyone is seeing the increase in their property taxes, everyone is flipping out on the town FB site. LOL. Idiots.

    It sounds great until you realize that you have to pay for it.
