Also, eaten in bed, postcoital. So fantastic.

While basking in the afterglow last night, it took great effort not to burst out laughing, as I couldn't stop thinking about eating a chicken salad sandwich on a soggy hoagie roll.

Girl, tonight were gonna make love
You know how I know? Because its Wednesday
And Wednesday night is the night that we usually make love
Monday night is my night to cook
Tuesday night we go and visit your mother
But Wednesday, we make sweet weekly love

I ended up cancelling my flights. My buddy thinks that if he stays home and doesn't go to PV, his ex might take him back (no one else believes that she will). So most of us bit the bullet and cancelled flights, though some guys (who don't live in Cali) are still going to play golf and catch some sun. I figure I'll take more dough to Vegas and make up for it there.

Put all of the money your flight would have cost on black!

What's done can't be undone but that sucks.

I know a girl who's husband cheated on her a few years ago but they didn't divorce because of their 3 year old daughter. They remained together for the kid's sake but there was a lot of bitterness, he has to work his ass off to be a good father and regain trust. She probably didn't even feel like sex with him anymore. BUT during this time she met another guy and they had a 2-3 month fling. It's over now and the couple seems to be getting closer and closer like they were before his affair. So it's role reversal for her now, she's happy but it can all crumble in an instant.

I use Adblock at work to hide the more salacious avatars. Doesn't help me when I'm at home on the ipad though. At least I can explain to my wife that someone else chose those pictures and I hardly even notice them.

So I want to learn something new. Anyone know why traditionally a big man typically is the one to throw in the ball after a made basket? I can understand when a press is on but why on regular made baskets? Is it because they are under the basket and makes the throw in quicker or some other reason?

DC47 · Post by **DC47** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 12:50 am

I always thought it was because you never knew when the press would be on, and you want one automatic routine.

Perhaps defenders who saw a guard pick up the ball to inbound it would automatically start to press, since the offensive team would be at a disadvantage due to having one less ball-handler trying to beat them initially.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 7:00 am

I always thought it was because you want your shorter, better ball handlers to bring the ball up against the press.

Learned today that until the 1940s Nimrod was considered a positive term. Nimrod is a mighty hunter. A too smart for his own good writer has Bugs Bunny call Fudd a Nimrod and totally changes it to a negative term.

Whatever the fuck you do, if the ball is just sitting there and the opposing team or ref is not making a move to get the ball and you're the defensive player, don't throw it to the ref. Somehow speeding up the game is delaying it.

In Scarlet Johanssen's new movie she plays an alien that goes around and picks up guys and fucks them and kills them but I was just reading that all of these guys weren't even actors. She really just drove around in a van asking dude's on the street if they were single and got a bunch of guys to hop in the van. Would any of you actually get in that van or would you be thinking, "No ma'am...you may not have my kidneys."

If it is Scar-Jo asking me to get in a van she can have my kidneys if that's what it takes.

I'd have done it. Would you swim over to a boat full of naked hoes that wave at you? Because you may get orally raped in front of the Coast Guard.

I'd like to meet the single straight guy who would turn down Scarlett Johanssen. That guy would have to be an oddity.

Well, she's in character with black hair so you wouldn't know it's her.

ScarJo or your kidneys?

If a Swamp discussion was ever going to drag Zaz back in, this would be the one.

I'm two weeks behind on The Walking Dead and apparently the last episode blowed up the Internets. The problem is that with work travel this week and the NCAA Tournament, it might be a while before I catch up.

Talk about your tragedies!

We were many episodes behind, so when we tried catching up, we did so without ensuring out daughter was asleep (although she was in bed). She got up to ask for something and, well, my wife ended up being asked, "Why was that man biting that kid?"

Yeah, that's part of my problem as well. My wife doesn't like the show, so I have to watch on nights she and the kids are already in bed. With my 12-year-old now regularly up past 10:30, that leaves a narrow window.

Post by **brian** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:03 pm

I'm almost done with it. I'm watching through the rest of this season and then I'm probably done. I really don't care about any of these people any more at this point (excepting maybe Glen and Maggie). I hope they all get eaten.

Someone left a box of sugar free Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix up for grabs in the kitchen. The "Best if Used By" date is 4/13/13. Yum?

I'm curious to see what this Terminus thing is. There's nobody I want to get eaten more than Carl. That kid single-handedly ruins the show for me. Even the ones that he's not in...just knowing he's out there bothers me.

Meh, his kidneys have a shelf life of 2 maybe 3 years anyways, so fuck it.

I've noticed that most people using these 'e-cigerettes' feel compelled to blow obnoxiously huge plumes of their 'vapor'. I'm not sure if they think we're enjoying their bad breath with fruit accents, but we're not.
