I do enjoy a run-on sentence in the late afternoon.
There's no evidence that officials in 15 other cities noticed they were there, and even less evidence that, had they noticed them, they would have reacted any differently. Didn't the article say in both Seattle and NY they were removed without incident? I mean, on one hand - you've got something with wires, batteries and a display. Of course, on the other hand, you've got a Lite Brite. Also, possibly a cell phone, PSP, remote control... Shit - don't drop your purse in a public space, they'd have to blow it up with a half-million dollar robot and 24 hours of news coverage. But, sure, hey - panic in the streets. Why not. I'd be scared - apparently these things giving the finger are from THE MOON. Really though - I imagine there are other ways of handling these things rather than simply calling in the Coast Guard, or whatever. We act like erring on the side of caution these days means declaring martial law. Doesn't make me feel safe. More like the contrary.
Haircuts from the 70's
These things don't look like the Lite Brites I remember. They used to be the size of a small picture tube television. When did they go flat panel?
We were locked down in my building the other day because someone left a suspicious package in the bathroom. It was a thermos. If a terrorist was going to place bombs all over Boston, I seriously doubt they would have placed them in highly visible locations and made them look like Lite Brites. Common sense never enters the picture when dealing with these things. Everyone immediately skips common sense and goes straight to alarm mode.
dusted: HFSNW. Kudos to those who refuse to be afraid. mrfrisby: recently.
I had a lite brite. I'm also somewhat color blind. Put that together with the fact that the thing had a habit of tipping over and I learned to dislike the thing.
Everyone immediately skips common sense and goes straight to alarm mode. Including you, huh?
Que? Why are claws the first response, kitty?
Off topic: BullpenPro has been retired. I had to make a change, due largely to the fact that my poorly selected username's profile was out-Googling my own website. We'll go with this one until I tire of being called crafty, a souse, or a fire engine chaser. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. And for those of you who would just as soon forget BullpenPro, well, now you can. Sort of.
Should have used the Ron Mexico name generator for a new nickname, dude. ;)
No shit. Why do I give you these tools if you're not going to use them?
Wow, Bpp, 3850 to 15952. That sucks.
Welcome to the 5-digit club, BPP TCS!
I'd change my tag - but really don't want to give up my member #. Sad, really, but I like being of the first 1000.
So, because Souse mentioned googling his username, I googled mine. I found the football predictions from Sept. Chico correctly picked the Super Bowl teams. I should also mention that Holden did as well, but not until after Week 1.
I did? Holy shit, I did. Well, that's a first. Thank you for not mentioning that my other 23957826345 predictions fell flatter than the back half of Nicole Richie's Oscar dress. (Oh, Stephen A. Smith's show got cancelled. So that's two. Hey, sell the back forty, ma, I'm the next Jeane Dixon!)
If a terrorist was going to place bombs all over Boston, I seriously doubt they would have placed them in highly visible locations and made them look like Lite Brites. bperk, do a little "what if" here. If I wanted to make sure a bomb were not discovered, I would do exactly what happened here, and I would also put in a 911 call to make sure that the emergency response teams were running all over the city. In the meantime I would plant a couple of real devices in innocuous looking packages where they would do a great deal of harm. Next week I am checking into a rehab facility to get over my addiction to 24.
Chico, you also guessed that the Jets would be second in the AFC East, that the Cardinals would be 5-11, that the Cowboys would lose their first playoff game, and that Parcells would leave at the end of the season. Your awesome skills are uncanny.
SousePro needs a bigger shirt. But not quite as badly as the guy behind him.
I'd change my tag - but really don't want to give up my member #. Sad, really, but I like being of the first 1000. posted by WeedyMcSmokey The original moniquer WeedyMcsmoky will still exist wont it? So you could keep the first one hundred account as well as a new nic with a biggie number. I think anyway.
But not quite as badly as the guy behind him. I just assumed that username had already been taken, or I would have been all over it. Lucky guy. (This post was amended using the "Edit" feature. Awesome.)
Oh, Folkways, you know that the lower the number, the more gravitas that user's words are given, and the more respect is to afforded to them in every -- oh look, apples!
Oh, Folkways, you know that the lower the number, the more gravitas that user's words are given, and the more respect is to afforded to them in every -- oh look, apples! Plus, you get to have a SpoFi t-shirt, you don't need a friggin' cape.
Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids. NOVEMBER 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin. STRATOGALE! April 23rd, '57. Cape caught in a jet turbine! META MAN! EXPRESS ELEVATOR! DYNAGUY! SNAG ON TAKEOFF! SPLASHDOWN! SUCKED INTO A VORTEX! NO CAPES!
Those of us down here in the teens don't get distracted by apples.
I've been using the Jedi mind trick to get people to join the five-digit club. Obi Wan did say it'll only work on the weak-minded.
But tieguy, apples are delicious! (and we joined on the same day, so don't get all hooty-snooty-patootie just because I was actually doing my job that day and didn't sign up until that evening, you slacker.)
I couldn't bring myself to change to a new user. I take pride in my 1500 or so total comments.
Good Lord, I can't get used to BullPenPro's new screen name. In retribution, I'm going to randomly insert his name into threads as to continue the google hits on his name.
Please I'm still getting used to MrFrisby. Everytime he posts I think, "he sure seems nice and friendly like he knows all of us..."
Is BP's boss at Pink's ready to fire him for publicly stating Nathan's is better too?
topjimmy's failing a drug test comment was deleted. He's cool with Paris puking.
He should have studied more. A little pratice toking and he would have passed.
I'm still getting used to MrFrisby. From a skate rat to a, well, RAT rat.
topjimmy's failing a drug test comment was deleted. Shit. I had my money on the hot dog thing.
chico: blahblahblah ;) (And I agree apples are delicious.) (Especially when they are American apple pies, with a crust made of the sugar of civil liberty and the flour of equal justice for all.) (God I miss fafblog.)
From a skate rat to a, well, RAT rat. Jonathan Frisby was actually a very smart rat. Not as smart as Nicodemus, but smart none the less.
Was Nicodemus the chick from Big Brother with the green hair and the even-lamer brother from Kentucky?
Not as smart as Nicodemus, but smart none the less. yeah, well nicodemus was no roland.
Jonathan Frisby was actually a very smart rat mouse. Nicodemus couldn't have been that smart. He should have known better than to walk under that cement block being hoisted in to the air. That's like OSHA rule #1.
Note: Nicodemus is not to be confused with this guy.
I'm getting all misty eyed about this but HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY SpoFi and many more.
One time I said something really dumb on sportsfilter. Well, lots of times probably. But one time, I was so ashamed that I had to change my name to Bill Lumbergh so as to totally disassociate myself from my former self. I've been doing better as Bill Lumbergh. Wish I could do that in real life sometimes.
Me too, Bill. Me too... I've been a member here since 2002. Have posted a grand total of two stories. Both of which were in the last six months or so. Though I plan on doing more very soon.
