    Ever Driven An English Car With…

    Yeah, in Scotland in 1988, just for a few days. Very weird feeling at first, but I got used to it quickly enough. Rotaries really threw me, and there are alot of them in the UK. I couldn't imagine driving one here on the right side of the road. I would have thought it wouldn't even be legal.

    That's it. JFK was assassinated by Big Turkey!
  3. I can't think of anything worse a player could do to jeopardize his earning potential than attacking a ref. I'm sure that's in the back of every players' minds.
  4. The 1st of "many"? I bet they don't win more than 4 while Tiger's kid is on the team.

    Is It Me ? (Game Shows With Trivia Questions)

    That actually wasn't Celebrity Jeopardy. That was the Second Chance tournament, where the contestants were all previous Jeopardy champions. Those 3 contestants were all good enough to win at least one Jeopardy game at some point. Yeah, I'm not a fan either, but everyone knows who Garth Brooks is

    Your Three Things That You Lost That Were Important To You To You

    @BeenHereBefore For the umbilical hernia, I had zero symptoms. No pain at all, no lump, nothing. It was shown on a CT scan I had for something else almost 4 years ago. I forgot I even had it. I just happened to look at the old scan, and the reason I was having it fixed now was due to an inguinal hernia on my right side. During my consult, I mentioned the umbilical hernia to the surgeon. He said it was nice for him that I had it, since he could use that hole for the laproscopic instruments, then he would sew it up at the end of the operation. A friend of mine has a big lump near his navel that he hasn't gotten looked at yet. I said "You've got a friggin umbilical hernia. Get it looked at, you putz".

    My wisdom teeth My vas deferens My sexy navel (I recently had an umbilical hernia repaired, and the surgeon had to reconfigure my belly button. It used to be my best feature, now it just looks like an azzhole)

    edsr will not be down for breakfast

    I'm pretty sure you mentioned your dad could be an ornery old coot at times. If so, I'm sure that made him more interesting. Sorry for your loss, ed.

    Bill Belichick is a Facade. Not a good coach!

    It doesn't...I've posted this here a few years ago, but from 2009-2019, the Dolphins, Jets and Bills had the 2nd best winning percentage in non-division games compared to the #2, 3 & 4 teams in the other NFL divisions.

  17. Yeah, it looks almost intentional there, or at least like the guy could have avoided doing it.
  18. This was always in the back of my mind when my sons played hockey. I would always buy them neck guards, whether they wore them was another story Only one coach in all the years my sons played required his team to wear neck guards. Not that they're perfect, but I'd like to think they'd reduce the risk.

    Cartoons you don't like

    I never liked Scooby-Doo as a kid. Don't know why, it just annoyed me. My brother would watch it, and I'd just leave the room.

    Anticipating the snap perfectly.

    That's how I understand it. Nothing I've seen says you can't do it on regular plays from scrimmage.
