    The person below me game...

    I concur wholeheartedly. Now if an old man says it to me in a bar, I will discuss politics, blonde and red-head chicks, etc. and I hope that he leaves his fortune to someone he barely knew. (For those of you who are completely confused: it's a song.) The person below me has a hard time saying our (US) President's first name without sounding like a chicken.

    Total tossup. I seriously can't decide. Both quite sexy as hockey players and men. Whipped cream or Cool Whip?

    I had a sore throat at the beginning of the night, and by the end of the night it was very sore, so I was going to leave. My friend (who was a bartender) suggested a certain drink to clean out my throat. I could hardly swallow, but I tried it anyway and choked. Once I choked, I started gagging, rushed the can, and made it to the toilet. I found out later that I clogged the toilet and my friend had to plumb it. It turned out that I had a nasty case of strep throat. The person below me has patio furniture.

    Which part? Yeah. If we could afford to feed, clothe, house and care for everyone who needed it, wouldn't we already be doing it? Or we just a bunch of bastards who don't care about people? If the government has to step in and force us to do it, we don't deserve whatever benefits it will produce until it runs out of money. We'd be doing it with volunteers instead of a system that charges us to collect the money, charges us to spend it, and then screws up everything in triplicate. (I told you I was GOING OFF on everything today. I usually don't even discuss politics because I can't stand either party. I'm a bleeding heart libertarian: Give to people who truly need it and give the ones who just want it a kick in the butt to go get it themselves.) The person below me is verbose today.

    WC in Pitt. pretty much a done deal for 2011

    That sound you hear is my father rolling over in his grave. He would rant for hours if anyone dared suggest that anyone but the Lions play on Thanksgiving. He didn't like even the idea of a second game after it. Since he's gone, I guess I have to do the ranting. (Ahem.) The Lions playing on Thanksgiving was started by the Lions themselves during the depression. They gave their salaries for that game to people in need. I don't know if they still do it or not. Knowing you kids today, probably not, but back then, let me tell you, we knew what it was to be poor. We didn't have all those fancy-schmancy Ataris and all those rock and roll records that sound like monkeys banging on drums and screeching- what is that crap you listen to- the Captain and Tennille?- what was he ever a captain of? No, sir. The Lions started that game and it's theirs for as long as they want to play in it. Win or lose. Your mother works hard every year to time dinner for halftime, and she doesn't understand football at all. If she's going to do that for the Lions, then they deserve to have that game. I don't care if they never win the Superbowl- it's about as likely as the Red Wings ever winning another Cup without Gordie Howe- but it's their day, and no one can take that away from them. Pass me those Doritos. /rant I don't know if it was true or not what he said about the Lions donating their salaries, but if it is, then they deserve to have that game. As far as the Winter Classic goes, that is the NHL that started it, not a specific team, so they should be spreading it around. Maybe they could have one in Winnipeg- Coyotes vs Wild. Whether the Yotes are in Phoenix or not. Bring them "back home" for a game. It could work.

    I am allergic to almost every perfume/cologne/aftershave on the planet. I get near someone wearing a "normal" amount and my eyes water, I get sick to my stomach, and I get a headache. The more they wear, the worse I get. I've quit jobs over it. People can't be prevented from wearing it. Apparently it is included in the right to bare arms. You can't force people not to wear it or tone it down. *******. The person below me is GOING OFF on everything today.

    Swedish Ref to be First European Trained NHL Referee

    I get it now! The NHL is the best league and he wants to learn from the two refs who actually know their Nash from a Boll in the ground. It's all so clear to me now. I had thought he was saying we had the best officials in the world. I was going to check his immigration card to make sure that he wasn't part of a Swedish terrorist group targeting mullets. Welcome to him. Bork! Bork! Bork!

    Barrie: You looked younger in your photo. I'd have guessed you in your late 20's. You don't have to sign up to post photos. You just have to have them in a photobucket or some such thing and click on the picture thingie and put the link info stuff in the box. Perhaps someone more technosavvy can explain that better.

    Just got home from work, so I'm beat, but not sleepy. I guess it depends on which definition of tired you go with. The person below me has dirty feet.

    Half of the guys at work. It's still better than perfume and all that crap. The person below me thinks that Montreal will burn if they win the Cup.

    Try not to breathe. I'm too polite to people's faces. My dear friend wears cologne that could gag a cow. I always entice him to go out for a smoke so it masks the odor for a bit. Shampoo and conditioner or all in one?

    As long as I can be inside or in the shade. I burn easily. The person below me wonders why on earth people wear stinky stuff when it has no purpose other than to make them smell and to make people's allergies act up.

    Toss up. I'll pick Sprite in the bottle and Scary Mist from the fountain. Lama, llama, or ram-a-lama-ding-dong?
