  1. Oh I get it, but I hope you understand what I'm saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xAMYHJYesM
  2. In less than a year, from FC to Jeff to Paoli. I guess rumors of Jeff's rising like the Phoenix were greatly exaggerated.
  3. To a certain extent, this plays out like a Batman episode, you've got Carol, Daryl, Michonne, pretty much all of the badasses of the series that are left, with their pants down, WHY DON'T YOU KILL THEM? This to me is where these shows kinda lose cred with me. Instead you leave the people who can kill you alive, and kill a bunch of kids. Makes zero sense to me.
  4. I got a sense a little ways in, a bunch of people were going to die. It was just at different points I would think OMG Carol, OMG the King, OMG Michonne..... Frankly I was never a fan of Henry, tough break kid! I was kind of surprised they cut Enid loose, I guess with the emergence of Judith, they didn't see a future for her. I thought since she was kinda Carl's main squeeze, there might be future for her after his death. Poor Brett Butler, the years have not been kind to her. She finally finds a steady gig, and they kill her off before she even gets settled in. Obviously the signing of Ezekiel's "Constitution", and all the wheeling and dealing being talked about at the fair, add in Siddig's speech, and we can only assume the Highwaymen are on board as well for yet another war. Alpha and Beta are far too strong of characters to just go away, but I certainly can't see them living in the basement jail for the next season either. What say you TWD Nerd, aka "Ref Ellenwood"?
  5. It was what I told my AD, assistant principal, and the girls on the team. We had two cheerleaders on the team one year, and that was the end of that.
  6. I agree 100% with her. When I was coaching SB, I had a policy.....NO EFFING CHEERLEADERS!
  7. 1) No one is coming to help you. 2) You are responsible for EVERYTHING. Two very simple rules.
  8. https://www.police.govt.nz/advice/firearms-and-safety/changes-firearms On the bright side of things, it appears my MKA1919 shot gun is still legal.
  9. I heard on the radio NZ officials have no idea how they're going pay for all these guns people are suppose to surrender. By all accounts I've heard, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 million guns involved, and the government is saying this could cost as much as 200 million. By my calculations that's about 100 bucks per gun. One of two things is happening: 1) Guns are incredibly cheap in NZ. 2) Not only is the government stripping gun rights from law abiding citizens, they're ripping them off as well. Lastly, one single man, not even a citizen of NZ, has essentially stripped Kiwis from the ability to own modern sporting guns.
  10. If I recall from government my senior year, about 100 years ago, one thing that the EC gives us, is a majority, which is also constitutionally mandated. Clinton won in 92 with like 42%-45% of the popular vote, with Perot siphoning votes away. I believe Reagan barely had a majority with slightly over 50% in 1980, with Anderson in the race. I'm sure there are other instances, but those two were both in my lifetime and I can recall them easily. I have heard on the radio, could be Warren not sure, someone championing the abolition of the EC envision 3, or 5, or 20 parties involved in the process. If we can extrapolate that out, it stands to reason we could have that many people running for president. So this create an unintended consequence? Look at the current D field for president, one can only imagine if we had multiple parties, one can only assume at least a handful of the 437 D running for president might consider another party. Look at quasi legit candidates, Bernie, Biden?, etc., if they took a third, fourth, or 20th party, they would legitimately take enough votes from other candidates to have a winner without a majority in popular vote, which ends up creating more chaos, anyone remember 2000? Personally I'm down with the EC. I think it's brilliantly designed to keep small geographic areas from dominating the political process. If we abandon the EC, nationally the only states that would matter to anyone are CA, TX, NY, IL, FL, and PA. Everything else will become irrelevant. As I understand it this is one of the reasons CA is considering a split into multiple states. CA being largely red, with the exceptions of most of the coast. Conservatives feel like regardless of how they vote, their voices are not heard, because SF, LA, and SD so dominate everything. As with so many things, it seems today people only see today, they don't look at the big picture. There was some chatter about abolishing the EC after 2000, but the Internet wasn't quite the thing it is today. I really believe this movement is a knee jerk reaction to 1-2 events people came out on the wrong side of. And given the current political climate, I'd say amending the constitution has about a snowball's chance in hell of happening.
  11. So starvation and poverty are now used interchangeably?
  12. I'm sure loss is accounted for in item pricing. I found it odd that in the link DE posted, they used a pic of produce, which is one of the biggest loss products in the marketplace. Go capitalism!
  13. opponent is tied in the database Our resident DBaser addressed this earlier. Contrary to Jimmie's comments, there's a little more to spreadsheets than doing goesintas. I wonder how often teams submit conflicts and discover their opponent doesn't have the same game on their schedule. I know it's happened to us, we think we have a game scheduled, only to find out they're on the road with a different school.
  14. I'm going to give it another watch. Frankly I was so exhausted with the weekend's events, I barely stayed awake for it. I thought it was plenty brutal with the children and all, but gave some keen insight into Michonne's actions.
  15. Coach Slone at Plainfield HS always took care of my helmet decal needs and did an outstanding job.
  16. No Florida trip this spring for us. I’m taking my wife on a surprise trip for our 30th anniversary. The only thing she knows is we had to get passports, and when we’re leaving. I believe the fall trip to Florida after Football season is going to be an annual thing, though.
  17. From a mathematical standpoint I think it would be virtually impossible based off the fact there is essentially and infinite number of variables with out of state schools. Many of which change year to year.
  18. I will admit to growing weary of some of these threads and don't even look at them.
  19. Any word on David Hogg's involvement? We could tie up two threads.
  20. You DBasers think it's DBase or die!
  21. Lawrenceburg is a doughnut community with decent paying casino jobs.......and of course Connies
