Dude. That's cold.

But, at least the Tigers traded for Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera this year and have the most formidable lineup since the '27 Yankees. Things are looking up. Any team with that lineup could win 100 games with 30 left to spare in the season.

Wait...that was last year. And, that didn't happen.

At least you have Michigan football. They didn't lose to any Div II teams this year, did they?

My Lions.

My one play off win since 1957 Lions.

My Lions who have now fired the coach Lions.


I sense a bit of jealousy from you all.

My Lions.

I remember how that play-off run ended. It was in Philadelphia. They were beaten like a red headed step child.

you know what I want?

i want the freaking owner to man up, say it was his fault, he's sorry, and it will never, ever happen again. Unforyunalty, Mr Ford lives by his grandfather's outdated credo: never complain, never explain.

It is statistically nearly impossible for it to happen again. So maybe take solace in that. I heard a few minutes ago that Mike Shanahan was fired, so maybe he would be interested???

I've got a thread that'll cheer up Mr. C -

Brilliant idea! clothier emerging from the shadows and posting something sensitive like, oh...I don't know this...


Are you people freakin' kidding me??! German Shepherds were the foot soldiers of the Third Reich. Good riddens to your four-legged, ass-sniffing "friend." May he now be licking his flame-warmed balls at the feet of Joseph Goebbels in the pit of Hell.

Take care,

...would just be a swell idea.

stop putting words in my mouth. Ya'll know what I would say.

Shouldn't the closing be...Merry Christmas, Clothier.

Speaking of insensitive bastards...WTF with people posting on internets forums shit like that? I know I am probably in the minority, but think it is odd enough when people post things about friends or family being sick to a general audience of people who don't know anything about them. It would be like wearing a sign at the grocery store telling all of your personal woes. What a fucking downer. I only like happy stories...like the one i95 told me recently about his recovery from gonorrhea. Good shit!!

Now this has apparently extended into pets?

Where next? Should I post about the sad tale of my snow blower needing a new carb float kit? We were heartbroken when it would only run with the choke fully open. It spit out blue exhaust like never before, and sadly, we knew that its efficiency would be compromised. The wide open choke also seemed to provide less power, and it could no longer toss the snow as far as it did in its prime. We gathered as a family and decided it had to be done. We had to go down to Carl's power supply and get that float kit. Yes it was a tough choice, but we need to take care of our power equipment dammit.

If any are moved, the float kit was $8.95 plus tax. Donations in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.

There is tons of this kind of stuff out there.

There are dedicated spots on some sites for just this sort of personal "issue" stuff. A couple cigar sites I hang out at, when I'm not trolling UNICEF chat, are full of prayer requests, tales of kids trips to the ER after falling on their heads (again), demented family members struggles with bipolar disorder, and similiar extremely personal issues that I don't care a bit about.

I avoid these threads.

Theres no way I could post on any of them without someone eventually tracking me down and seeking retribution for the comments that I would be compelled to make.

Dude, you're missing the (serious) point here that being that said "general audience of people" ARE these posters' (only) friends.

I have considered that angle, and will give the true shut ins a pass, but many who post such things have jobs and discuss other people in their lives so I still think it odd that they such personal details with people they don't really know.

Also keep in mind I am anti-social.

What sport are you fucking guys talking about? Competitive whining?

Quit trying to stay "on topic." That's another site.

Touche.
