Answer: it really depends on point structure... is it PPR? 4pts/pass Td or 6pts?

Question: Its your Lucky Day!!!!! Until....................? Its your Lucky Day!!!!! You find a Big roll of money with a rubber band around it on a city street. You peel off a $50 for the bum who saw you pick it up (so he'll keep his mouth shut - his breathe stinks) and treat your friends to a Big dinner. As your finishing dessert a Really Tough looking guy stops at the table next to yours and says "Mr. Soprano, we could not find your money, but , we found somebody who can describe who took it." You don't have enough to pay cash unless you use your "found money", You and your friends don't have $50 to replace what you gave Willie the Wino, and if you pay with your credit card you might be trackable. WHAT DO YOU DO?

Answer: No one would be brain dead enough to mess with my friends and I even Mr. Soprano when we are shoveling food and boozin it lol

Question: this stinks! How do I find the right people? ok so for a long time now I've identified what I believe religiously most closely to paganism/wicca, and I've been trying to find people of a like mind. If found plenty of them, but the thing is...ok & just to clear things up, this is NOT meant to sound like I think Im better than anyone else because I DONT, and there are definitely exceptions to the rule, I've found a handful of the kind of people Im looking for, but generally speaking, the majority of the time, when I try to find others of a like mind, I wind up with a bunch of people who either cant handle their business, are very questionable, for some reason give me the willies to even be around, or all of it. Why is this happening and how do I actually find pagans/wiccans who arent like this? Ok so 1. I'm NOT trying to judge anyone, just need honest & good answers, 2.please dont tell me "just get out there and talk to people, open yourself to more opportunities" because I HAVE been doing that, I've been going to just about every social function I can get my hands on in the greater l.a area and 3.please no "jesus is lord and saviour come into the light give up the devil" rants. If you could help it'd be greatly appreciated, and please no rude or pointless answers. Thanks so much. (=

Answer: ::smiles:: I understand the willies. Sometimes at general pagan gatherings I feel that I have nothing in common with anyone in the room besides being polytheist (maybe). Personally, I feel more comfortable with those who have a specific path or tradition, even if that path differs from mine. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it is because their path has structure and thus their lives seem to have more structure. As others have suggested, maybe it would help to narrow down your specific beliefs to find others who you have more in common with. What traits do your handful of people have in common? Can you network through them to find others? Are you more comfortable with those who are new to their path, who have followed their path for several years, or those who have followed their path for decades? Perhaps you can volunteer to help out at family-oriented events like pagan play-dates or arts and crafts nights (for children of pagans). How large do you want your close circle of friends to be? Personally, I like a small group of close friends, but I know that everyone is different. I wish I could help more but I really don't care for large groups. I prefer simple gatherings with a handful of friends.

Question: All the so called fantasy guru's answer this? Why do people try and rip on someone else's team without thinking first. I have ripped on teams but it is because they really stink. I asked how good my team was and one guy felt it was his job to rip on my team which isn't nearly as bad as he said. First it is a PPR league. That means point per reception which apparently this guy doesn't know. He told me how my team was weak at RB and RB's are what makes teams good. I admit I don't have the RB's I wanted but they aren't that weak and I was picking 8th which sucks for getting a top RB. My 1st pick Randy moss who by the was had the 3rd most points behind Brady and Romo in our league last year. That's right he had more than LT! Next I picked Wayne who had more points than Adrian Peterson last year. My 3rd pick was Holt who had more points than any Rb I could have drafted in the 1st round at #8. So I have 3 WR's that had more points than any RB I could have gotten with my first pick. We can start 3 or 4 receivers each week because of flex spots. I also got Calvin Johnson and Cotchery at WR. Some guy ripped me because I got Cotchery. First off, he will be good. Secondly, he is my 5th receiver, come on. If you get him as your 5th receiver in a 10 team league, you are lucky. I got Parker and Graham as my 1st 2 RB's who this guy said stink. Last year Graham didn't play the whole season and was 10th in points for RB's in our league. Parker was 17th. Not great but if I took Gore or Lynch who were the best available in the 1st round would I really be any better and I couldn't have even got both of them. My other back would have been McGahee or Jacobs. Come on, how would that have made my team better? I would have gotten those RB's and weak WR's in a PPR league! This guy also ripped my QB's who yes I am taking a chance on Favre but in the 9th round it was worth it. Warner put up numbers better than Brady's the last 8 weeks last year. If he plays, he can be great in fantasy. Schaub might not be great either but hopefully I only need him for a week or not at all. Here is my team if you want to see it. 1. (8) Randy Moss 2. (13) Reggie Wayne 3. (28) Torry Holt 4. (33) Willie Parker 5. (48) Earnest Graham 6. (53) Calvin Johnson 7. (68) Jerricho Cotchery 8. (73) LenDale White 9. (88) Brett Favre 10. (93) Owen Daniels 11. (108) Matt Schaub 12. (113) Steve Slaton 13. (128) Dallas 14. (133) Kurt Warner 15. (148) Kevin Walter 16. (153) Ray Rice 17. (168) Dwayne Jarrett 18. (173) David Akers

Answer: remember me I blasted your team for simple reasons 1. on many questions that you have answered you totally disregarded the question to have your chance to try and show off what you think is football knowledge and cut up someone Else's team when the question asked was about a trade and not to rate it 2. If your team is a PPL and you have the 8th pick and you got Moss Wayne and Johnson and the only thing that matters is catches so you dont need a good QB or RB then how did that happen either your team is BS or the other guys in your league are idiots If you want to dish it out be able to take it

Question: Would all you Scottish seniors like to hear this wee Glasgow poem ? Ah wiz sittin on the upper deck o' a 37 bus Ah seen big Jimmie swillin wine An' stirrin up a fuss The driver stopped the the bus right sharp an' belted up the stair "Yie can get the Hell right aff this bus if ye gie us any mair" :Pal,no offense "big Jimmie said : "if ye knew what I 've been through Ye widnae say such things tae me or blame a man that's fu' fur Ah lost ma pile on the dugs taenight , Ah'll huv yes fur tae know Fur Ah put down all ma overtime pay on a dug that widnae go" The driver said " Ah dinnae care nor gie a Tinker's curse Yer swearin an yer bawlin is disturbin a' the bus Ah've hud aboot enough of you,a lot more than Ah need If ye dont haud that big tongue o' yours , Ah'll stuff it doon yer heid.� Big Jimmie looked up and picked his nose and he finished aff his wine He says " The way ye've spoke tae me has went right oot o' line Ah've sorted out 15 like you tae get intae a fight Get doon on yer knees and beg fur help ,yah dirty little shite.� At this the bus began tae clear as people got off fast Wi' good auld Glasgow chivalry the wimmen an children last They gathered round and they shouted out fur they didnae like big Jim :Come now driver sink the boot ,get stuck right intae him.� The driver smiled and waded in kicking and swinging blows Until he got Jim's big square heid a planted on his nose His knee came up, his fist went doon that wiz the battle o'er So he jumped a couple o' times on his heid as he lay upon the floor An' staightaway the polis came up tae capture Jim In threes an' fours an' dozens , well he laid them oot round him An' when wi' forty stoatin him he finally sensless sank Ah counted fourteen polis hats washed away doon a stank So if ye'er ever sittin on a 37 bus An see big Willie swillin wine and kickin up a fuss Don't try tae act the hero an throw big Jimmie aff Cos the poor old Glasgow polis , They huvnae got the staff.

Answer: I hung on ,and hung on in there and got to the end. Not bad for a Brummy lass. My Scottish(Hamilton) father would be proud of me.

Question: Obama supporters, what do you think about this....? Historically, many presidents have been referred to by their initials, For example:... Franklin Delano Roosevelt - F.D.R. John Fitzgerald Kennedy - J.F.K. Lyndon Baines Johnson - L.B.J. William Jefferson Clinton - W.J.C., "Billy" or "Slick Willie". George Walker Bush - G.W.B. or "Dubbya" If John Sidney McCain gets elected his initials would be "JSM". It's funny that right now, people are calling John McCain "Mcsame" or "Mcbush". That sounds like something I'd get at MacDonald's. "I'd like one mcsame sandwich, a coke and some fries with that". lol. I hope someone comes up with something better or is that the best ya'll can do??? Hey, check this out.... If Barack Obama get elected as president, wouldn't his initials be B.O.??? (Remember, we were all told by the media that we can't use his middle name "Hussein", so he can't be "B.H.O." I guess logically, he'll have to be refereed to as B.O. then) And when he messes up, we can always say "There's something that stinks real bad at the white house, It must be that B.O.". What do you think about that??? Is that funny? This is meant to be funny and as a joke. Ya'll take this way too seriously and ya'll seem to lack a good sense of humor. Lighten up & relax, I'm just messin' wit ya. Have some fun wit it. Peace out, hommie. ;-)

Answer: Hillarious

Question: McCain supporters, what do you think about this....? Historically, many presidents have been referred to by their initials, For example:... Franklin Delano Roosevelt - F.D.R. John Fitzgerald Kennedy - J.F.K. Lyndon Baines Johnson - L.B.J. William Jefferson Clinton - W.J.C., "Billy" or "Slick Willie". George Walker Bush - G.W.B. or "Dubbya" If John Sidney McCain gets elected his initials would be "JSM". It's funny that right now, people are calling John McCain "Mcsame" or "Mcbush". That sounds like something I'd get at MacDonald's. "I'd like one mcsame sandwich, a coke and some fries with that". lol. I hope the libs come up with something better or is that the best they can do? Now, I perfer the nickname "Carbama" (Jimmy Carter & Barack Obama) beacuse it sounds a lot like car bomber, doesn't it? Maybe we should start using that? But hey, check this out.... If Barack Obama get elected as president, wouldn't his initials be B.O.??? (Remember, we were all told by the media that we can't use his middle name "Hussein", so he can't be "B.H.O." I guess logically, he'll have to be refereed to as B.O. then) And when he messes up, we can always say "There's something that stinks real bad at the white house, It must be that B.O.". What do you think about that??? Is that funny?

Answer: WTF?? ROTF @ Carbama, now thats funny

Question: How come baseball players back in the day couldn't catch, throw or field well? When they show all the various games played like in the 1940s and earlier, why did the fielders suck so much at fielding? They never made diving catches, long running catches, climbed the walls robbing home runs, making quick hard double plays, throwing out runners at the plate from the outfield and all the other impressive highlight reels seen everyday today. You would see them frequently dropping the balls and kicking them and could barely get the ball back into the infield fast enough. Runners could easily steal bases. Pitchers never picked off runners. There was no gold glove or defensive player of the year award. No one back then really cares about a players fielding and it was all about the batting stats. The best catch they could find was that overrated catch by Willie Mays which didnt even look that impressive at all. But yet there were players hitting 500 and 600 foot home runs. Why did the players back then (1800s to 1940s and 50s) stink so much at fielding? Where there any players back then in all those eras (1880s dead ball era, 1920s, Ruth era, 1930s, ect) who could play defense like Ozzie Smith, Ichiro, Andruw Jones, ect?

Answer: Players back then may not have been as good in the field as they are today, and that has to do with a number of things: the quality of equipment (balls, gloves, cleats, even uniforms), the quality of the playing field (none of them were groomed like they are today), and the athleticism of the players. No one would argue that today's players are better conditioned than the players of that era, whose off-season didn't consists of meeting with personal trainers and nutritionists three times a week. You're missing one key thing, though. The first World Series was televised in 1947, and even then only a few hundred thousand homes had television sets. All of the footage you see prior to World War II is almost exclusively from newsreels, and while people in Detroit or Cleveland might have been excited in 1928 about a game between the Indians and Tigers, neither team was successful and there would have been little reason to capture any footage of them, let alone save it for prosperity. So what you have is not so much a lack of historical footage of great plays, but a lack of historical footage in general. Nowadays a game against two bottom feeders still has a decent chance of being televised nationwide, and even if it doesn't, a single play can land it on any one of a thousand sports recap shows the next day. The fact that there was no Gold Glove back then is immaterial. There wasn't a Cy Young Award either, yet no one claims that pitching was terrible back then. People cared about defense quite a bit back in those days - there's a reason Rabbit Maranville was elected to the Hall Of Fame despite putting up a batting line of .258/.318/.340, and the double play combination of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance was so well-respected that the phrase "Tinker to Evers to Chance" entered the lexicon of the general public and the trio had a poem written about them. All three of them are in the Hall of Fame, and it's certainly not because of their offense. Think about how good Ozzie Smith was in the field. Now imagine that the only footage of Ozzie Smith available was from his World Series apperances. Now imagine that the footage was black-and-white and grainy. Seventy-five years from now, would anyone remember how great Ozzie Smith was? No, we'd be talking about how great today's players are and how Ozzie Smith must have been done something right because he's in the Hall Of Fame, but wondering how it was possible since Ozzie couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

Question: What do you think about this.....? Historically, many presidents have been referred to by their initials, For example:... Franklin Delano Roosevelt - F.D.R. John Fitzgerald Kennedy - J.F.K. Lyndon Baines Johnson - L.B.J. William Jefferson Clinton - W.J.C., "Billy" or "Slick Willie". George Walker Bush - G.W.B. or "Dubbya" If John Sidney McCain gets elected his initials would be "JSM". It's funny that right now, people are calling John McCain "Mcsame" or "Mcbush". That sounds like something I'd get at MacDonald's. "I'd like one mcsame sandwich, a coke and some fries with that". But, If Barack Obama get elected as president, wouldn't his initials be B.O.??? (Remember, we were all told by the media that we can't use his middle name "Hussein", so he can't be "B.H.O." I guess logically, he'll have to be refereed to as B.O. then) And when he messes up, we can always say "There's something that stinks real bad at the white house, It must be that B.O.". What do you think about that??? Is that funny? What would you call McCain or Obama?

Answer: Something smells.

Question: The Jim Rome Show. Is there a WORSE substitute host for this show than "Money" Mike and Pedro Poppajokitch? I'm sorry but that loud-mouthed idiot HAS to be banned from the Jungle. He is freaking HORRIBLE and Romie needs to give he and Mike the boot, and this time (like Willie in KC) for good. Get that lame-brain off the air, he stinks not unlike tony kornheiser on television. What do other CLONES think?

Answer: I hate to say it, but they really should just do a "best of" while Rome is on vacation. I know it sucks. BUT, look at the alternative.... even if Rome hand picks a replacement for that week, it's still a poor substitute for the real host. Good call on the Kornheiser, too. Why can't he just waltz down to his local barber shop and jaw with the regulars? Leave us sports fans alone to enjoy sports without his hideous commentary...
