Motley Crue The pizzas with all of the meats and veggies.

Nope. Today is Epiphany. The twelfth day of Christmas. This is when they come down. Of course, I don't usually bother until some time in February when I notice that they're still up. Had you not mentioned it, I don't think I'd have noticed today either. The person below me speaks another language fluently.

Well, guys, I guess that's it. The season is over. It's been fun and exciting. Hopefully we can build on this. We've seen some improvements, most notably in the department of "not taking stupid penalties, especially in the neutral zone". We can take down the Blue and Silver decorations and put up the Red and White. Mike, you can get the lights, Jimmy can take care of the streamers, I'll clean up the snack kitchen. The rest of you guys can tidy up the mancave and get the beer cans/bottles out for recycling. Don't worry about picking up the flags. The officials will be over to take care of that.

Sad thing, Mike, is that I once did have one shot, one opportunity to grab everything I ever wanted. I took that shot, that opportunity. He screamed like a girl and the restraining order is still in effect.

Lack of discipline has been part of the culture for the Lions. Look at all of the stupid penalties they have taken over the last few years. Neutral zone infractions occurred almost every set of downs. A new coach can get rid of those sort of things by enforcing discipline on the practice field that may eventually translate into improvements in the game where the lack of discipline is just being unable to hold back and wait until the proper time to start, but the kinds of things that Suh and Raiola have done in the last couple of weeks are due to a lack of discipline that comes from inability to control emotion. That sort of discipline takes longer to sink in and takes more personal responsibility. Excitement is easier to contain than anger if one is not practiced in controlling anger and frustration. Nerves are a mental issue. Anger comes from the heart. The heart is not so easily changed, but the head can be persuaded.

You should find your social life vastly changing in the new year. Your welcome.

Looks like we need a clue. Either that or you people have lives. I'll throw in a clue. Cerebral or phallic part producing sound from distant input in either AM or FM.

Happy New Years! I was busy sending texts on his phone.

Wishing you all a wonderful new year and a muy...

No ugly sweater for me. I wore a Wings shirt. The person below me has one thing that they eat every Christmas which they secretly hate, but pretend to enjoy so as not to hurt the cook's feelings.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (Good one. I had to think.) Dangerously slow to stop, but lined up neatly.

I don't listen much, so when I do, I'm in the mood to listen. I get annoyed with a few of the commercials, but not the stations. The person below me wishes they could buy something without having to give out a phone number and/or e-mail address and just, you know, buy that one thing.

Superbowl! Tuba or saxophone?

NO! I don't want snow right now. We don't have any, but tomorrow this rain is supposed to turn to snow and I have to drive to Mom's. I hate driving in slippery slush! The person below me carries a phone charger with them.

Spice girls. I was thinking Spatula women. Don't retire, Jimmy. This is fun! ET- you need to give another clue since you stumped us with Spice girls.

Yep, Bread. Still trying to figure out Something you use when cooking and a lack of a y chromosome

Actually, you're a bit too young- like a couple of decades. Although cake is tastier.

Grass. I can't shovel any more. I have to hire a kid to do it. Receive actual presents or gift cards?

They each have their advantages. If I put one up at my house, it would be fake. My father would turn in his grave. Actually, since he passed, Mom has put up a fake one and nothing bad has happened. The person below me lives in a place where there is currently snow on the ground.

Mister Mister? (Cuz, you know, Pizza Pizza...) Baked grain flour with yeast and stuff to hold it together

What is this Christmas break of which you speak? I will be at work at 6:00 am on Christmas morning. I will get to spend Christmas Eve with my mom and sisters, so that's good. The person below me likes egg nog.

Sweet. Not much a fan of salty. Drive, fly, or take the train?
