It's like they never heard of cutting either. We've come a long way.

I can't remember seeing anything in school, but I must have seen Skinny and Fatty about twenty times on the Afterschool Special.

I loved the film even though as a skinny kid the message that I shouldn't pick on kids three times my size seemed a bit confusing to me. Maybe I should have told Steve Kasner how much I liked it and he wouldn't have tried to sit on me again.

Is that from Full Metal Jacket?

Had to chuckle. Up late and watching a rerun of Meet the Press. Joe Biden just mentioned "the Underpants Bomber."

Never change, Joe. Never change.

Update: They finished up the segment talking about Cliff Lee and the Phillies! Awesome.

they really need to just go ahead & run those Zales commercials continuously, cutting out any of that annoying filler content in between them

I would volunteer to participate in an experiment where the question was 'how many diamonds would I have to cram up the nose of whomever came up with those commercials to cause him/her to pass out and begin coughing up blood?'

Dad: What does Totes Magoats mean?
Me: Totally
Dad: Totally what?
Me: It’s just an expression. Magoets rhymes with totes so people say it.
Dad: I think life is just passing me by

Mom: He pooped twice and ate sticks

My aunt passed away today. My grandma and grandpa have outlived all three of their kids. Hopefully whatever sucky genes they passed on skip me. :shock:

Why do you hate your children?

Also, sorry about your aunt.

I'm the guy who wants to spare the world of my genes, 'member? :-P

I wasn't too close to her since she lived in Georgia (her family actually attended church and were friends with John Smoltz). I think I may have seen her once or twice in my lifetime.

Barring a tragedy, it seems like it's very uncommon for both parents to outlive all of their kids, especially with as many as three. I wonder what the stats say about that.

Ya know, I can't even imagine how your grandparents must feel. That's not the way it's supposed to work- people ain't supposed to bury their own. (That's what Herman Munster said in "Pet Semetary"). It must be a horrible feeling. Although having grandkids my lessen the sting just a bit...

This was funnier to me than it should have been:

I'm always amazed that there are hundreds of comments on Facebook items posted by the Phillies or other sports teams I follow

And then I realize I have almost 50000 posts on a Phillies message board and have no room to talk in the matter

by **WheelsFellOff** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 16:41:16

And the only reason you posted that was to get closer to 50k AMIRITE?!

More like in the face of paper writing, sharing useless observations seems like more fun than it usually does
