Out with the OLD (2011-2014 thread), and in with the NEW.....

JG, nice to see you doing some house cleaning. Good for the soul.

OHIO STATE! OHIO STATE! OHIO STATE!

Time to go on a Duck Hunt...LOL

Too much ale over the holidays. Couple of weeks on the old wagon methinks!!

Did anyone read that article about the Dutch mayor? He makes a lot of sense.

Embrace Western-style democracy — or “f-off!”
The Moroccan-born mayor of the Dutch city of Rotterdam has some tough love for his fellow Muslim immigrants who don’t like the freedoms and tolerance of their adopted countries.
“It is incomprehensible that you can turn against freedom,” Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb told Dutch news program “Newshour.”
“But if you don’t like freedom, for heaven’s sake pack your bags and leave. If you do not like it here because some humorists you don’t like are making a newspaper, may I then say you can f— off!”

Stand up guy. Can we exchange Obama or Bonner for this guy.

Why can't our Politicians tell like it really is , like this guy.

Good stuff

I am a family man, love my kids and always will. But as they get older what a bunch of miseries they have become. Thank the Lord for young Matty to keep me on my toes

I can sympathize. But, I've been fortunate. Only one of my six gives us heartburn with no end in sight.

I heard on the radio news yesterday that Saudi Arabia is experiencing a cold, snowy winter. Biggest problem...Muslim fathers are make snowmen with their children and that's a Muslim no-no. You can't make human images; salacious, provocative, lewd, etc.

And they expect you to turn into an ATM, dispensing a non-stop flow of cash for their endless needs....

The Atlantic City Race Track (horses) is closing Friday. You probably didn't know they had one. It opened in 1946. Opening day attendees included Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Princess Grace. For the past dozen years it had an off-track betting facility and would have a few days of racing in the Spring with attendance around 12,000. Early day attendance was in the 30,000 to 40,000. To drive by it you would think it was abandoned. Owners cited the lack of interest in horse racing, the economy and the recent closing of 4 casinos. No plans for the property.

That reminds me of something one of my daughters asked when she was about 8 or so. She wanted us to buy her something and we told her that we didn't have the money. So she said "Just write one of those checks." Of course, we then educated her about how checks work.

LOL When my girls were little and I told them I didn't have the money to buy something, they'd say, "go to the bank and get some." They were under impression, you could walk in and ask for whatever amount you wanted. Ha ha If only!!!

Did you know?

Frank Langella had a relationship with Whoopi Goldberg. So did Ted Danson.

What the fcuk were they smoking?

I suppose you got to admire Hollywood actors that see beyond looks.

Hit and run in Jersey of a fella I know, hope they catch the driver


http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Ber...-288890561.html

Hit and run is common occurrence in South Jersey. My guess is the drivers who do this have something else to hide like; DUI, no license, no insurance, warrants, etc.or they were texting.

Hope he's in America legally (a lot of Irish people aren't). Otherwise he'll have trouble getting the right treatment.

Whoopi wears a mask. She really looks like Halle Berry.

Yeahs he's over legally getting an operation on his broken leg done, best of luck to him,

Also Mary, whoopi wud need more than a mask during sex,

I find a double bag wud be perfect, that's when you put two brown bags over her head incase the first one pops off

Ah-ha! I knew it!

This morning, our daughter had a ceremony with her class for drug prevention through the D.A.R.E. program. It was really a nice event. Near the end, a slide show of pictures was played synced with music. The first song played was by Whitney Houston. Really? A woman who OD’d in her bathtub was theme music for an anti-drug program? Who will be next year's keynote speak for sobriety - Keith Richards?

Ok, I'm the first to admit I am NOT a sports fan. I couldn't tell you any players in any sport (for the most part). However is this stupid deflated ball thing something that needs so much air time? Doesn't seem like earth shattering news if you ask me. Who cares!!



TIS

Sure, you're a woman. Old men take deflated balls seriously.

Ha ha ha Putting it that way, yea I can imagine a man would have a somewhat different viewpoint. LOL



TIS

What is going to happen now with Brady and the deflated balls situation?
Who is gonna to be checking his balls for the Super Bowl ?

No but seriously what are they going to do about it?

I have a ball that is over inflated....sorry, that's another topic. The NFL needs another hot story to keep up the ratings. In another week we will be so sick of this story. New England beat Indy 45-7. I don't think is was a ball issue.

I just found out about this from my son.

When the Metrostars first went into giant stadium they put in soccer field turf. Then the next season the Giants actually cut the artificial grass and made it shorter that they thought would help them in pointy.

So it was shit for soccer.

Everyone does things to favor their own interests.

I think when Ali first fought Foreman them made the ring sag to favor Ali remember the rope a dope.

Shit like this happens all the time in sports.

I've wanted to go here to enjoy a good cup of coffee and take in the atmosphere after seeing a short video on the news while I was in Jersey a couple years ago. Has anyone been there? Is it worth a visit while in the city?

Just a random story that made me laugh.

Yesterday while listening to the radio the host said he had just interviewed Debbie Reynolds (I think a biography is coming out soon). Anyway, he played short segments of the interview.
He asked about the paparazzi back then and she said it was awful cause they'd be right in front of her house. However, she thought it's probably worse today.

Well, it got to a question about her husband Eddie Fisher and the famous Liz Taylor scandal. She said she had known Liz from somewhere (school maybe). Anyway, she said that when Liz's husband died (She had 8 but I assume Mike Todd), she sent Eddie over to console her. And, she said "boy did he console her. Next time I'll send a card." Made me laugh

I always liked her and I certainly remember the cover of every movie magazine having Taylor,Fisher, Reynolds on the cover. Ha ha Then of course not long after covers changed to Taylor/Burton.
