    Random Discussion Thread

    We started Sunday school last week and one of my kids asked if we can see in heaven. I said I was pretty sure that we would be able to. A first grader said that he thought that "maybe we'll be able to see on special occasions, like before you're born or if you're getting cremated or something." I have no idea.

    The person below me game...

    I can dogpaddle my way to safety and swim short distances. Actually, since I have had sinus trouble, I haven't been able to swim per se. I just motivate in the water. The person below me has someone in their life that is irrational to the point of being worrisome.

    This or That

    Depends on the subject. If it's hockey- nonfiction. Eat too much or waste food?

    Official Detroit Lions thread

    My bf is a hard-core Vikings fan, and he was irritated by that call. He knows his football, but unfortunately, he's not one to go to for explanations. He explains things on the most basic level and never gets beyond explaining to me what it means when they review a play (like I didn't know that). I would like an explanation. Is there a new rule this year that I don't know about or is that just a pile of non-sense? Still fuming.

    Stanley Cup Predictions

    Is that still covered under the team's medical insurance? Drapes, Malts, and possibly Mo are gone for sure. Lids is a probable if we get the Cup. Ozzie just might hang out as a backup and mentor. That more than likely depends on how he does this season.

    #DanEllisProblems

    Especially for those of us who are inbred hillbilly rednecks who lost our teeth the old-fashioned way despite never having played hockey and have the intellectual capacity of a farm animal. Such things are silly jabs to the people speaking, but serious affronts to those at whom they are aimed. Perspective is a good thing. I plus your post, good sir.
  8. AfroGator? I think that's about the only Abby nickname we missed.

    Who will be the whipping boys for '10-'11?

    It will be whoever turns over the puck/pinches/breaks a stick/misses an assignment/ices the puck/sends it out of bounds/takes any penalty not called "five for fighting"/misses the net/knocks the puck in the wrong net/allows the puck by him on the way to the net at the most recent inopportune moment. If this person scores a goal during the game, he will be restored to demigod status, and the 1/4 of the board (or at least those in the GDT) who did not dogpile him will be crowing and telling the rest of the people to eat crow (which is a bad mental picture in and of itself). That said, my money's on Huds again.

    Nope. I'm not that picky, but I am that frugal. The person below me would like to see pics of the person above me's child at the convenience of the person above me or the spouse thereof.

    Official Detroit Lions thread

    WHY was that Calvin Johnson catch not a TD? Possession: check. In bounds: check. Control of ball: check. Past the plane of the goal: check. What the heck? Process? What did they think he was in the process of? Baking fruitcake? He was in the process of scoring a TD, which he did, and then falling on his butt, which he did, with possession of the ball. I'm going to puke.

    I'm in the living room. I'm watching the Lions. This is frustrating. The person below me screams at bad calls.

    Thank you. My memory is failing me lately. Old age. Hey, I'd rather be old and... something.

    NHL preparing for work stoppage with refs

    Maybe the refs are believing Bettman when he says that they are the best in the world and are right 99% of the time.

    It's not the breasts and thighs, it's the greasy box to stick your bone in.

    I've never been that big of a fan. I've had them before, and I liked them, but I don't think they are that much better than carpet or linoleum. They are better than those stupid peel-and-stick tiles I put in and now regret. The person below me thinks Matthew Stafford can pull it off this year.

    Dustin Byfuglien will move to defense

    Breech birth. They might just be allowing Buffy to play D because he wants to, and they want to give him the opportunity to win the position that he wants to play. If he doesn't compare well to the other D-men, then he goes back to forward. If he does, he gets the job on D. I don't think that his D skills are there to win the job, but at least they can say they gave him the chance, and it also gives them the opportunity to see what he has there if they need him as an emergency fill-in.

    Question about training camp roster

    I guess I had heard that. Since he has played pro, he can't play NCAA any more, so I guess the classes are just for education purposes. Do you (Rivalred) recall (remember) what it was that he (Abby) was getting his degree (certificate) in? I was thinking (surprise) that it was business (management), but he might have been studying to be a lawyer (liar- if you have the right accent).

    Kirk Maltby nearing 1 year, 2 way deal

    Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch. I was just commenting that many men look for T&A and don't focus on substance. She is not the plastic Barbie doll that many celebrities tend to marry. In other words, I was saying that you are not some hormone-driven lustbag in search of carnal satisfaction and that you have discerning tastes. Buppy said: Yeah, 2-3 hours isn't much, but in his case, the kids are very little. By the time he gets out of practice and goes home, they'll be in bed. On game days, he won't get there at all.

    Question about training camp roster

    Oh, sure. Give away all of our secrets. Once they are out of the college (NCAA) program, they can come to camp and/or join the team. Of course, they can just drop out of college and play if they want to. I'm thinking that's what Abby did.

    This or That

    If it's one of those where you hold the brush, I'll go, but the kind you drive through are one of my irrational phobias. Eat a food you hate or hurt someone's feelings by declining?

    Are you kidding? I would re-do my life if I could. Generally the only thing that keeps me from re-doing is cost. The person below me knows why there is no more "minus" option and will explain.
