Fantasy Football
I was in three Fantasy Football drafts over the weekend. They went pretty much like I expected, the first one I was prepared for and all in to it. The second one I was pretty in to, it was a group of new guys and my brother in law. All the guys were younger than I am so it was pretty interesting to see how they approach the game. The last draft was guys from work. I was ridiculously hung over and burnt out on the whole draft deal. I’d had enough…was looking to get it done with and my picks really reflected that. I’m going to list the picks below for my first two leagues, the last one I can’t remember all of or get to right at the moment. I’m a novice to the ff stuff, and I’m not trying to pass myself off as any kind of expert. I fully expect to lose out on any money, but we’ll see how it goes. I enjoy the jockeying around and the competition back and forth, a bit of smack talk..then there is always the chance to win a couple of bucks. This is about the extent of my gambling for the year as well. I throw a 20 at blackjack once in awhile, but I never go to casinos…seems like just throwing money away. At Least with this I get a few months of entertainment out of it and I feel like I can actually affect the outcome…instead of just opening tickets or pressing a button. Read the rest of this entry »
VeraSun
There’s an article in the in-forum that says verasun is asking farmers to pay back 80% of what they got for selling their corn to the company. The people they are asking to pay the money back are the ones that sold 90 days before the company declared bankruptcy. On the surface something like this [...]
Uh oh…

Correction Department spokesman Stephen Morello said Michael Enright, of Brewster, N.Y., was taken from the Rikers [...]
NFL Gun Policy
Shaun Rogers was fined a game check, about 400k, for carrying a gun into an airport in his luggage. I got curious about the NFL’s dangerous weapons policy, so I looked it up. Most of the wording is in line with the company I work for, which isn’t terribly surprising…what was surprising to me though [...]
Strasburg
SI is reporting that Strasburg is going to need Tommy John surgery for a tear in his right elbow. I’m not a big baseball fan, but I am a fan of the way the Nationals seem to be trying to build their team lately. They are trying to work the draft, they picked up this [...]
Regimen
The other day it hit me like a mac truck…I gotta get back on the regimen. I bought a gun cabinet off the neighbor across the street. He made it himself, it’s good quality and looks very nice…and it’s pretty big for it’s capacity (6 guns). We had to move it from his place over [...]
Accountability
Why is there no accountability for personal f’ ups? There is an article in the in-forum about an “accidental discharge” of a handgun. How is it possibly accidental? The firearm was loaded on purpose, the action was worked on purpose…the owner knew it had work done on it…where did the “accident” happen? Why is this [...]
