  1. i already know what most of you are thinking about this, but there are versions of this out there that are tolerable.
  2. back in the 80s primerica was called A. L. Williams, and 4 or 5 of the guys in my men's chorus were into it. we heard the same nonsense about being millionaires by 30, and how one hot shot in the company bought a $185k ferrari with cash, and how this guy bought a killer house, and on and on and on. They tried to sell to us in the group on occasions, too, but they always came off as snake oil salesmen. one of the older guys in the group approached me and started giving me the sales pitch, and i flat out told him i couldn't afford to do it - i was 24 and making $14k/year. he looked at me and said, and i quote, "you know, I used to say that, too." GRRRR! annoying as can be. the only positive that came out of it for any of us as a group was that we got to sing at three of their west coast conventions, including the year they were at caesar's palace in las vegas (that was a surreal experience to sing for their worship service and then see them all explode like minions as soon as the meeting began, yelling and screaming and standing on chairs). Fortunately for our group, when we sang for them in San Diego, one of their members was really moved by one of our songs and donated $25k to us, which was enough for us to get into the studio and record our first album. of the 5 or 6 guys that were into this, not a single one of them became a millionaire, and only one of them lasted beyond 5 years with the company.
  3. So does this mean he won't have a role in Top Gun 2? Man, what a harsh penalty.
  4. Will be interesting to see what kind of effect Tavares adds to them.
  5. Most successful manager in team history, team won its first WS title under him, arguably a HOF manager, significantly up the list on all time career victories, most successful era of angels baseball during his tenure - saying goodbye to him and giving fans a chance to properly acknowledge his contributions seems like a relatively easy call to me.
  6. that's the kind of outside-the-box action that has MAGA'd us!
  7. well done, arch. on my first cruise to alaska, they had a cold pear soup one day for lunch, and i'm telling ya, i would have crawled over broken glass for more of it. it was THE best meal i had on board for the entire week, hands down.
  8. fingers crossed that she never has to find out.
  9. you have some stiff competetion, but this post definitely puts you in the running for silliest post of the year.
  10. if sosh doesn't return, it'll be announced prior to the final homestand so they can give the fans and the team an opportunity to properly thank him.
  11. you will get minimum chastisement from the dad who's been (willingly) to three One Direction concerts.
  12. i'm feeling a little more secure about being a vegetarian right now.
  13. “Our game is under assault,” West Hills Chaminade football coach Ed Croson said. gee, coach, i wonder why that is. poor you.
  14. sounds like you've been to a few seventh day adventist church potlucks in your day.
  15. we have a recipe but haven't tried it yet. looks pretty good to me.
  16. you might want to take a look at the minor league thread. there is emerging talent in the pipeline, and a fair amount of it. in fact, it's given us ward, fletcher, arcia, anderson, bricena, and barria this season.
  17. he looks like the baseball verion of greg oden.
  18. i'd feel really bad about signing her knowing that she would end up needing TJ surgery before new years.
