PLFKING

Tell me I'm full of shit if you wish....but I've never thought forcing a ringer to make one obligatory post made him/her a "member of the community". If the DZ.com records are about community camaraderie, then I think the minimum post number needs to be 20, or 50......something that makes that person a recognizable part of DZ.com. Just my $0.02.

I quit stressing over this years ago. Since Xmas is mostly for kids, I give them things that were exciting to me at their age, then let their parents worry about it....most of my gifts involve some sort of projectile-firing.

Was he already dead when you knew him, or did that happen later ? Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

I read it, and liked it a lot. I wish you'd hurry up and publish your book.

I hate to risk giving him the big head, but he is pretty swift. I asked him once how he knew so much at such a young age, and he replied "Lots of interests, and good genes." (...still doesn't know jack about college football, though...) Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

That's a quandry.....would it be better to meet him, and find out he really isn't funny.....or purposely never meet him, so as to hold onto the illusion that he is funny ? Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

You young punks

Cool rig. You are definitely the prettiest Reverend I know. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Me too.....I don't know s*** about the differences, but I can help translate Dave's typing. "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Copy that. Someone had a pocketful of 4-leaf clovers. That's some scary shit. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Thank you kindly, Ma'am......Napolean's site didn't mention winter operations, and Tecumseh's site isn't opening. I'll bring the phone numbers and call. Now that I see your pic, I remember seeing you at BD.

We had our chance last year, and blew it. Maybe next year. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

...are any of the DZs open during Xmas week (weather permitting), or does everyone close down entirely during the winter months ? Looks like I'll be in Ann Arbor for a week, but I don't think I can handle the family for seven days in a row. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

I COULD say that consistency is very important....thank you for ALWAYS being an a**hole (but I won't). I COULD say that I could have posted a thread every time OSU lost this year....but given the frequency of their losses, it would have been a huge waste of HH's bandwidth (but I won't). I COULD say that UM - OSU is still the greatest rivalry in college sports (but I won't, 'cause it's a given). I COULD say that I guess Maurice Clarrett didn't take EVERY penny available from the OSU coaching staff, 'cause there was plenty left to bribe the officials in yesterday's game (but I won't). I WILL say that Smith is a great scrambler. I WILL say that Ginn has got mad skills. I WILL say that Michigan did a piss-poor job of tackling. I WILL say that I haven't missed an OSU - UM game since 1975 (televised or in person)....but this year I had to drive to Charleston, WV to get into ABC's coverage area. I WILL say that Michigan is the Big Ten Champ again (*YAWN* -- that's like 50 times in the 80-year history of the conference -- ho hum). Hail to the victors, AGAIN ! Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Definitely. In the weeks preceeding, I could escalate my asshole qualities to new heights. We all have the capacity to improve, if we apply ourselves. And can you imagine what the world would be like ? You think crime is rampant now.....I think it would skyrocket in your scenario, 'cause no one would have any fear of incarceration, or punishment. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Well, we have a reputation to uphold here in the South....we have to keep our southern belles chaste and pure. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

One of my former co-workers was in the USC scuba diving club. She showed me a club picture one day....they were all wearing t-shirts that said Wet 'Cocks Go Deeper. EDIT: Forgot to add.....tune in tomorrow for another Buckeye thrashing at the hands of the Wolverines. GO BLUE !! Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Wow. That's kind of a spooky coincidence ....'Dead On Time' off the JAZZ album was the song that always pumped me up before my college matches (it's mandatory that the volume be turned to 10 or higher). And I always got a kick from the "Thunderbolt courtesy of God" album credit. Good on Nick ! With such a great pre-game ritual, I predict he'll be a stellar player.....good thing he got his great taste in music from his dad.

You meant to say 'lesion', right ? Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Happy Birthday, Val ! No flowers or telegrams.....but I found a really odd card that reminds me of her (I think it's a Balinese dancer, or something). Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Thank you, Sunny. That mental image will make my holiday dieting MUCH easier.

EVERYBODY needs at least one loss. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Here's one....I still have my original "Terrible Towel" too. The Malone-Brister-Stewart-Maddox years put it in mothballs, but Big Ben has restored it to its former glory.

Lay the filters on the ground, put your hands in the air, and back away slowly.

Here in NC we always called it "gravelin"....same game, except we'd go after carp too. And it taught me that you CAN run through waist-deep water pretty damn quick, when a water moc is providing the motivation.
