The Everyone's Welcome Thread (even Canadians, SEO experts, and oldies..you get the idea).

I thought I'd start a new break room thread. The great thing about this thread is you can say whatever the heck you want (except adult) and it's ON TOPIC.

All you have to do is post whatever is in your head when you are here. Simple.

Here are some acronyms we like to use:

YPSBT Your Post Sucks Big Time
YPITDB Your post is the dog's bollox
LPOD - Last Post of Day
FPOD - First....
SPOD - Second.
FPOTWN - Funny Post of the Week Nominee

Grace Delete / DefaultUser / WorldsWorstDomainer will personally thank EVERY SINGLE post in this thread UNTIL someone says something about post count and gets too obsessed about reputations and starts gaming the system etc.

^ That has happened so no more ...was fun while it lasted.

Johname will personally LIKE every post in this thread until he doesn't

No racist, sexist, homophobic material that woudnt be acceptable in the 70s please.
We are ok with boobs and we are ok with men with abs (or whatever it is that makes them attractive). Ogling is healthy. Violence, not accepting that it is shallow and non-meaninful judge of people etc. is not. The most important virtue of this thread is respect for all.

Here are some topics that this thread has had:

The following subjects are
BANNED

So Kardashian related material is not allowed - even gratuitous boobs or bums because no one wants to see or hear about them.

POLITICS OF ANY KIND IS A NO NO.
Especially if it is demeaning to the liberal elite or the conservative morons.

I suppose Anarchy is ok

I AM PERSONALLY UNDECIDED ON SOME POLITICS so things like the below?
I think the crowd should decide.

We are also lady and animal friendly

I've scuttled over 100 in the last few weeks at a loss of high $xxx w/out considering time. Keeping maybe 40 - 50 so have about another 100 to go. It's been more like sacrificing them at the expense of a few high priced acquisitions + time.

Hoping the buyers make some good change or trades. Feels pretty good.

I am always trying to figure out how things are done. This is just out. First the obvious that the follow lines on the road. But whats the real danger here? It your head hitting the pavement! That height and speed enough to kill. How do you prevent it? Easy tie a line from one truck to VanDamme through his pants to a safety belt. The company's insurance policy wouldn't allow this without it. But of course everyone involved would have to sign a non discloser.

Damn!
If DU leaves?
He will never again know the joys of the latest in baconology!
Or the weather in Iowa.
Or the latest goodie my wife baked.

Tomorrow morning, I pick up two of our granddaughters.
They will spend the day with us.
Wife already gave me orders: no roughousing, no running, no noogies, and anything that will make her unhappy.

Wherever it was that I first saw this video it said that safety equipment had been edited out. No way would the insurance company let them do that w/o some sort of safety harness.

Donovan McNabb says NASCAR drivers aren't athletes, fans revolt

The answer is simple, depends on your definition of 'athlete'. I tend to go with the Olympic definition, that motors and 'athlete' don't get along.

[enlytend]

I'll agree that it takes a lot of mental and physical endurance to drive like that for hours on end, but athletes? The car is the one that's "running."

 

[johname]

The human body's peak performance year is around 28. So any sport where you can go well over that age an still be at the top of your game, is flirting with stand (or sit) and deliver participation. Not the Olympic track standard of 'athletes'.


I know NASCAR fans its not easy siting for 2 hrs driving 500 miles and peeing in a bottle while Jeff Gordon bumps your backside.

 

[iowadawg]

Got the two granddaughters here.
Now we are going out for lunch, providing someone lets me know where.

Let's see McNabb get in a car, and go 200mph for 2 hours or so, with a bunch of other cars doing 200mph.
He will change his feeble mind.

Shooting? Archery? Equestrian? Sailing? Curling? All olympic events . Though not "track" events.

 

[johname]

lol that's not an argument but stating just the severest classification of an athlete. That the elite is over the hill at 30. If your not then there an extra element involved, like standing coordination. This type of classification based largely of the running (or swimming) speed of a human and the age it peaks. Its mostly university performance lab type of classification for theses and research papers

Usually you look at both extremes when analyzing a situation. The other extreme would be anything a human does where there is motion and a declared winner is an athletic competition. And the participate is an athlete. That would include competitive eating lol.

Brother freaking out on FB. He went to Auburn. They were up 37 -17 in the 4th. Georgia then scored 21 points and they were up 38-37. Then Auburn 70+ yard TD pass, tip ball off Georgia defenders into Auburn receivers hands, saw it at the last second. Turned it to the game real quick to catch it. Probably will be play of week. Of course Georgia has 1 more shot at TD.

 

[johname]

There were up 37 -17 in the 4th. .

I turn the channel at this point. Thanks for the 411

Some interesting stuff in the news...


"FBI warns of U.S. government breaches by Anonymous hackers"

"The hackers exploited a flaw in Adobe Systems Inc's software to launch a rash of electronic break-ins that began last December, then left "back doors" to return to many of the machines as recently as last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a memo seen by Reuters."

"the stolen data included personal information on at least 104,000 employees, contractors, family members and others associated with the Department of Energy, along with information on almost 2,0000 bank accounts.
The email, dated October 11, said officials were "very concerned" that loss of the banking information could lead to thieving attempts."

Not sure how to take this article about "Anonymous" ..are they a group to protect the average or to "rip them off"..



Haven't seen no updates about the "train wreck" or it is all publicity stunts?
