Mrs. Vox--is that the right caption for the photo, or is "loving wife contemplates homicide"?

This thread went from 51 to 62 pages in the 20 minutes that passed since a coworker sent it to me. It's worse than a game-thread

UPDATE: CNN IS ON THE CASE!!!!

I wonder if the pizza interferes with the 3D experience.

"unobtainium" ? Really

No one ever accused Cameron of subtlety.

He was pretty much right, I was just thinking "WTF, I just want to get out of here and back before BabyVox wakes up and she hasn't showered and it'll be 45 minutes for her to shower and dry her hair and dress, and the hair dryer will wake up BabyVox, and then I'll be dragging both of them around on my stupid quest for math flash cards and to get my coat from the dry cleaners and to pick up food for dinner..."

Don't think they will have to worry about that, tbh

Maybe CG stands for consolation game?

(I believe way back even before my time the loser of what was then the AFL and the NFL championships would play is a not quite so super bowl.)

I don't remember that. Before the merger, the second place team in the Eastern Conference would play the second place team in the Western conference. I remember that because the 1966 Eagles won a bunch of games at the end of the season and finished second and played the Colts in that game. It had a name but I forget what it was.

Anyways, I remember the Eagles lost a close game and then stunk for the rest of the 60s and into the early 70s.

You're right, of course. It did not involve the fledgling AFL at all. Can you imagine how tough things were back in the old days with only one playoff game? How did people live? Next, you'll be telling me people didn't have cable tv or x-box.

I'm out with my parents today, and my dad gets an email from his friend in Florida. It's so cold that the reptiles are starting to hibernate. People are thinking the lizards are dead, and are putting them in their cars to go bury them. Then the heat in the car wakes them up, and the lizards are pooping all over the cars, tearing up the upholstery, and attacking the humans.

Florida. Geniuses.

whoa that's some Tommy Boy ish right there

the lizzards falling out of trees thing was on the news around here in PA. bunchaidiots.

At least by my usual standards, I've worked like a friggin' dog today (since getting to the office a bit before 11--though I probably will have done about 8 hours by the time I leave). I guess I should get used to it, as full-time work has begun and I won't have any non-holiday "days off" until a long weekend in FL for spring training in late March.

I'm sure most of you are overwhelmed with sympathy for me on this thing.

That's a holiday day off. And the truth is I'll probably be working at home that day to get ready for the new job, though at least I'll get to sleep late.

I missed the "non" in front of holiday. But you get vacation days after a couple of months? That's pretty sweet.

Well, I'm taking those days. If they don't pay me, they don't pay me. Or I'll pretend I'm sick or something. Someone'll cover for me. it's all good.

tv dont you call it lee-jackson day in the south?

Some do--it's fading, and this part of Arkansas isn't really the old South--SW Arkansas isn't really about cotton, it's about pine trees and oil. But my place of employment calls it Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, with no reference to those other guys.
