  1. 'tallyho' is a greatly underappreciated term. i think you're on to something, IE.
  2. those are some expensive kickboards and goggles.
  3. he could have always gone with "i'm not here to talk about the past".
  4. on Cheeers, norm always ended his letters with "i hope the red sox win the pennant, sincerely, norm peterson". i prefer "onward".
  5. yes. in fact, he's the gardners' neighbors' first cousins' hairdressers' auto mechanics' media consultant. but then, you probably already knew that.
  6. the ball will now be coming out of jeppy's hand well in florida.
  7. we got as much out of him as we could. one good year out of thirteen is pretty darn patient on our part.
  8. if they keep monitoring diligently, it shouldn't be an issue.
  9. i think a fair punishment would be for all the people ahead of me to sit out the remainder of the season.
  10. well, this changes the entire landscape of college football as we know it.
  11. that zoo bus ad is fantastic. those have got to be some incredibly expensive paint jobs on the cars.
  12. freese for bumgarner, straight up. get 'er done, jer.
  13. why doesn't president merkel just issue an executive order allowing all of them amnesty? i mean, that's how you're supposed to handle this situation, right?
  14. i would have no problem if the president just unloaded massive amounts of rockets on known taliban camps. these are pretty evil people who contribute nothing to improve the quality of life for anyone.
  15. * At least 141 killed in Peshawar, says army spokesman * Seven terrorists killed, according to army * Three days of national mourning announced * Taliban sought no terms, began shooting immediately the last one is just unconscienable.
  16. i think there are about 200 places that call themselves some version of Ray's original pizza. i've heard they're all good.
  17. this is chuck reminding bill to SHUT UP!! what a great movie.
  18. grammatically, it would be better to say "the Lord has arrived", but i'm guessing the author took some poetic license to make it fit in the song a little better.
  19. Tank's solution: Create a base salary system, where your base salary is determined by years of play. * first year base - 500k * second year base - 750k * third year base - 1m etc. then load it up with incentives. bonus money for each RBI, HR, double, run scored, sac fly, walk bonus money for fielding pct, number of errors, DPs turned bonus money for pitchers for each win, save, K, shutout, complete game bonus money for getting MVP, cy young, ROY, sliver slugger, gold glove bonus money for getting votes for each of those awards bonus money for making the all star team more bonus money for team wins, making the playoffs, advancing in the playoffs, getting into the world series, team era, team winning percentage, etc. having team incentives can help make sure that players are focused as much on how the team does as how they do personally. i have no set amount on what the bonus money should be, but that can be negotiated with the players union so that your better players are earning more. it's all performance based and should eliminate silly contracts like albert and hamilton have.
