  1. Kinda watched 'The Tree of Life ' with the wife who was fully into it . Reminded me of '2001 ' , a bit , as the story seemed to be going somewhere for a bit , and then it'd take a break and show you a bunch of artsy crap that was just confusing .Mind you ,I was reading a book at the same time and just looking in ....

    Can't really rate it fairly then , as I wasn't paying close attention , but , then again ,kinda glad I wasn't .

  2. Ok , that's a good start .Remember there are 2 leagues going and you have to sign up for both if you wanna play both .

    I see you joined points ,MC , so that's cool ,as that is the league people start in to learn or what have you , so if one no longer wants to/can't play , it doesn't affect the play of the rest of the rest of the league as much . As for football , you are right ,bud -my bad .You do indeed play it out all the way . Been outta SF too long ,I guess . :D

    Rocky ; may let you run the whole show this year,if you enjoy it . I'll PT you later. Wasn't sure if you were really serious or just goofing with me .Just wanted to get this out there so people are well prepared to sign up , etc .

  3. Kenne , you've broken my heart a number of times -and you , a sports guy , no less . It's harsh , but you gotta do it or be out .

    The baseball game is a pain -I won't deny it - but the reward is in the long run . You have shown me season after season , that is not your interest .

    So -those are the terms : either give me your password for when you lose interest , or don't sign up . Choice is yours, bud . :)

    I'm really pissed you would bother me about this as I have always been willing to give novices a fair shot at the game ....

    I'll extend a long -term favor and add that for football as well.

  4. Yep . :)

    Unless you convince me you will play beyond April and give it a shot to the end of the season , then up yers . :D

    It's just a bag of bones , but the rest of us try to play all out ...

    Either that , or you give me the password to your account so I can release your players when you quit ...

  5. It's that time ,kids ...time to see what you are made of this season , again .

    1. Songfact's VII 2012 Points

    2. SF Head to Head VII

    PW: carl

    Just sussing who is interested this year so far . Rocky ? ...bite me . lol Mind you ,if anyone, other than Rocky, would like to try being Commish , let me know . In fact ,I may even let Rocky run it , provided he's on his knees and confesses his sins to me -which I then happily post . :cool:

    Joe ; you are playing this year , and time is not on your side , my friend . Best you get worked up and keel over now rather than later . It's a better payoff for Joanne and kin , afterall , you selfish pri*k . :cool:

    MC ? You can't play because ... well ... you can't play, and have given up after a month or so every season or so for the last couple years , so don't even sign up . I know you are a gambler and hate a losing ticket with no patience for it....so ...Thanks , bud .

  6. lol You're still a mod , and haven't been banned to my knowledge ( though god know's you should have been -many times , in fact ) . Now you are older and disillusioned and cynical , and lost all sense of impropriety ...how you doing ? It's the Queen's jubilee , afterall , and time for better relations within the Commonwealth . :shades: :guitar: Call me . ;) :googly:

    I say that as a man of the cloth , however ...

  7. I am now an ordained priest of the Universal Life Church Monastery . I can now do the following :

    It's free -and so far no spam .

    BTW ; if anyone is feeling rather guilt ridden and wants to unload all their sins , PT me , and I'll absolve you . :D

    Bless you , my children . :cool:

  8. To categorize wealth as being "Obscene" and then in the very next sentence make the statement:

    has to be one of the quickest flip-flops I have ever seen.

    Wealth has it's deserved place, and is not a problem for me nor most people ,I think .Did you not note the term obscene-nor can't get the point, nor it's meaning ? This form of wealth , as we all know ,is unearned individually , but instead comes from speculation or taking advantage of people and situations , and I'm stunned to see you stand behind it; Steel -a false poet ?!?!

    It is using a faulty marketplace that takes advantage of situations where people don't value ,or are not allowed to value ,their own contributions into that wealth generation, but yet rewards those who simply have titles in a particular corporation, regardless of their worth or effort . This makes it somewhat medieval . Forgive me if I dare to deny you , and spit on , the potential for a palatial home and lifestyle and numerous servants /slaves . Read some Dickens-again ,my lord .

  9. On the contrary , social development in the 20th century ONLY came from leftist movements that were willing to often die to see the movement of wealth from the hands of those that had way too much -and they knew it ( if they answered honestly ) - into the hands of what was to become the middle class -and capitalism saw this as good . Well led , or at least as well as possible given human frailities , and funded governments willing to regulate have made all these movements possible .

    A strong middle class with spending power and a sense of hope has been the pinnacle of capitalism , and saved it from the bloodbath that will ensue otherwise -and rightly so .

    You have spent too long in S.America where EVERYTHING is corruption , and nothing makes sense in any economic model . Left or right is just a power play -nothing more .

  10. You'll be fine , son. I don't sense any panic in you nor a lack of what you have to BS to pass the tests . Godspeed . :)

    BTW ; I wrote my last exam in my course the morning after dropping LSD and drinking all night-no sleep . One of my best results . Good luck to you ! :thumbsup:

  11. In 1976, I voted for Jimmy Carter as a result of a single statement that he made while campaigning, "I will reduce the size and scope of the federal government." In 1980, I voted against him, because during his first term, he failed to even make an attempt at doing so.

    As an American living in a foreign country, bloated to its shoreline by bureaucracy, observing how that fact, like the python, slowly, consistently smothers individual creativity and eventually swallows the self-sense of enablement, I am more concerned than ever for my native country and her future.

    It was logic like this that set the ball of decline into motion . The President doesn't run the economy, but certain agencies are necessary for free-running capitalism to be checked if it goes too far . Absolute free-markets are a fairy tale , and given human nature , will ALWAYS do more harm than good if allowed to do so. Carter was the most decent man you have ever had as President -individually . He gave no BS and spoke straight .America went for flag waving and a sense that the free-ride would/should never end ,if you could just find a court jester to tell you so ...enter Reagan and the downward spiral .

    Obscene wealth was never the 'American dream ' ,I'm sure . Nothing wrong with being wealthy , but the certainty that most of your fellow countrymen are doing ok is lost today-to your own peril ,I think . I'm pleased to hear there have not yet been a lot of really outrageous acts during this downturn ,as they certainly are possible .That is not security , but a step back to medieval times, and the American rich need to remember France circa 1789-just a lot less respectful of the wealthy , though , and well armed to boot.

    You were young then , and thus forgiven . Don't do it again , please .
