Happy Birthday! Have fun!

Haaappy Birthday Andy!

Happy Birthday Lisa! Hope you had a great one!

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that Renee. Stay strong and come back when you can.

Yeah, I live in the south.. I know about every way imaginable to cook bacon.. lol.

You have your strengths my dear.. and maybe it was only you that thought you were trying to emulate others. I thought you distinctly different from both as well. You're a bit poetic and thoughtful. Surreality has more depth than any of my stories... for sure.

Have a great birthday!!

Isn't that the point? Not a fan of bacon... and I think the cooking smell and the smell of it isn't good at all.. lol. I'm going to make Aaron stick to his nice smelling shaving stuff.

What was that ole bat thinking? Taking a play thing away from a young man..

I don't like twinkies and twinks aren't my thing either...

Well I would, but I forgot how to do that.

How do you know it would end the friendship? There had to be a close bond there if he wanted the guy for his best man at the wedding. Saying, hey, "I've had a crush on you forever, she's a lucky lady, and I'll shave her head if she ever hurts you.." or something along those lines. But on the other hand, there is no point at this time FOR him to say anything - he missed his chance. It should have happened when the feelings became a stronger/unbearable. I realize not everyone is as outspoken or brazen as I am (understatement of the century?) *Glares at anyone who even THINKS about commenting on that* But if something is eating away at you, you need to say something or it gets worse. It would be inappropriate, I think, for him to say anything about it now. Maybe 10 or so years down the road when the hilarity of it might arise from the entire situation.

In DA2, not being able to save the mother was a pretty pathetic moment the first time.. I remember rushing through there slaughtering everything and almost dying, just to have her already dead. Then the ending when, no matter what side you took, the Chantry was still blown to hell. Other than that though the game kind of lacked a lot... and overall that sucked since the original was so good. The end of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare got to me a bit too. I'll shut up now... lol, because I'm afraid of sounding a bit butch having played all these games.

God I hope not.. lol.. my goodness these little annoying people.

It's just something he should have gotten himself to admit and to get over long before this point ever happened. Feelings can be changed, but you have to be willing to stop and reevaluate those feelings before you can. He never told the guy, never let the guy know how he felt romantically. There were just too many unrequited feelings bottled up inside - that - if he faced them or told the guy, would have been released. It's not easy to do when you're afraid of losing the friend and the relationship as is - especially when you know that it won't get better with him being in love with and marrying someone else. You have to take measures to protect your own happiness sometimes though.

I hope everyone has recovered from all the turkey and family!

I went like twice.. the second time I found out that nothing was worth all that hassle. Especially when most of what is sold during black Friday in stores are sold online and days after the black Friday sales. So no, never again.

I don't really care that Vandy, Ky, and Ole Miss have slumped and are at the bottom of the SEC. Those dominating teams at the top are there because they are better.. and they are always in the top of the over all rankings because they are better than the rest of the nation.

Alabama played #5 Michigan on a neutral field (41 - 14). Florida is playing at #10 Florida State this weekend. South Carolina is playing at #11 Clemson this weekend. Oregon's out of conference games were: Arkansas State, Fresno State, and Tennessee Tech - not really much of a competition for the team, but they all scored over a touchdown on them, Arkansas State putting up 34 points. 34 points would be enough to win in most football games. Notre Dame was the top opponent for Stanford and they lost. Notre Dame plays practically the same schedule every year as an independent. Southern Cal played Hawaii and Syracuse earlier this season and will play and likely LOSE to Notre Dame, who again plays them every single year, so it's not a surprise. And you talk about the SEC being top heavy, well look at the Pac 12, their top teams have MORE losses than the top teams in the SEC and the last place teams are: 1 - 10, 2 - 9, 3 - 9, 4 - 7. So you cannot justify your argument about the SEC being top heavy when a lot of the conferences are shaping up the same way. There are 9 teams bowl eligible in the SEC right now - could be 10 if Ole Miss beats Mississippi State (which I don't think will happen). Big 12 has 7 Pac 12: has 8 Big 10: has 6 since Ohio State is banned from the bowl season. ACC: has 7 Big East: has 4. The PAC 12 has made a lot of improvement, but stacked against one another the SEC is still better and if there were more teams to play one another people could see that. There are reasons why the SEC and the PAC 12 don't see a lot of action within the two conferences though. First, the BCS BOWL system. They are set up that the top teams from the SEC, Big 12, Big 10, ACC, and PAC 12 all get a share of the larger bowls, but only to the top teams. You will see most of these top tier teams avoid one another so they can keep those big money making games intact, because there is a fat pay check for both teams that play in them. That same thought applies to the Championship Bowl Game - which could be any of those top bowl games depending on who the number 1 and 2 teams are. It is a system that a two or three loss team has no chance at the Championship with. I actually hate it. If that ever changed then you will see these teams all branch out and play one another more often, but they won't. It just isn't intelligent to do so for any of the major bowl conferences to schedule more than two games like that. (Although for some dumb reason UCLA did this year). There is just too much risk and too little reward. Also these football teams travel 120+ people to every game. The funding may only cover one or two of those games and I bet most of them would like that funding to go towards one of the top BCS Bowl games instead of an out of conference regular season game.

Happy Birthday Mikie! Have a good one!

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great one.

A lot of teams play out of conference games late in the season. Florida has Florida State for their last game of the regular season almost every year. Alabama's loss was to the power house likely Big 12 champion if they had stayed - Texas A&M. Florida lost to No. 7 LSU. Georgia lost to #6 South Carolina. They play one another all conference. What happened to Oregon's high powered offense when they finally came up against a team that could play defense? The SEC is all about DEFENSE... Oregon wouldn't have a chance. They ARE the class of the Pac 12. Kansas State might as well not have even been in the building during the first half of their game against Baylor. In the BCS system - which I'm not a real fan - it is ok to lose early.. to fall late in the season is worse. The SEC still has the best conference in football - that will likely stay.

Calgary Colts would have sounded better.. Stampeders doesn't have a nice ring to it.. I hope you can celebrate though Nadian.

I think he looks like a male version of Emma Watson. Not my type.

Why does this scrawny assed little thing keep popping up here on GA? I really don't care that he's chasing beautiful women that are over a foot taller than he is..
