I don't.
Not in the weather department, anyway.

If you're going to go in to criminal court and fire your court-appointed lawyer and then tell the judge that you'll represent yourself because "This is all just a bunch of buffoonery," don't you think it would be a good idea to wear a long-sleeved shirt that covers up your tattoo which proclaims to all the world (including the elderly victims, the D.A. and the judge) "Show No Mercy?"
Yup, I thought so, too.
The judge is a Duke grad. He showed no mercy.

Which shows proof-positive, the value you could have shared. What a dumb ass!

It was supposed to be clear today, but we had snow flurries for a good chunk of the day. No real accumulation, though. If it's going to be this cold (in the 10s or 20s), I'd like to get snow, dadgumit! We really just have a dusting.

I, too, love that site. I've been tempted to use it at work on numerous occasions and have restrained myself.

I'm watching the Miss America Pageant. My cousin and I usually watch it together via Skype in order to heckle.
My favorite so far is Miss Oklahoma. Not liking Miss Texas on piano. Sorry, but piped-in orchestra along with piano?

I bet it's more interesting than the Tebow vs. Brady NFL playoff game.
With 3:16 to go in the 3rd, I believe the Patriots are going to score 316 points.

Not unlike the Holes, Tebow and the Broncos lost by 35 or so.
Unlike the Holes, the Broncos remained on the playing surface for the whole game.

Not a joke, but still damned funny.

We had a distant cousin competing in Miss A last night, Miss WVA. Her grandparents live a couple of miles away. Oh well...
The football was so lopsided I couldn't keep watching. Sorry LG. We found out 'Who Dat'.
I enjoyed a nice Porterhouse and beer, was so bored that I went to bed very early but very satisfied in knowing that order remains in the universe.
Tarholes suck, win or lose, and the national audience they had could see exactly why. I don't understand why the poor 5 guys that Roy left out there, did anything other than slowly walk toward the corner of the court that leads to the locker room, so as to time their exit with 0:00. If my coach had abandoned me out there...

What a great recruiting tool he's got now. Huck...what a hero!

I watched Miss America last night. The top 5 was the most beautiful group of girls I could remember in quite some time.
I was pulling for Miss Oklahoma since she shares the same name as my aunt. I was hoping to hear my aunt's name called as the newest Miss America. Oh well. . .

I liked Miss Oklahoma best from the final group.
Did you think it was a bit harsh that they put the entire group of 15 onstage and had them ready to perform their talent and eliminated randomly from there? I thought it was a bit on the cruel side.

I thought the cruelest thing was when they did the "save" thing and told the contestants to line up behind either Miss Alabama, Miss Virginia or Miss North Carolina. I guess we know who didn't win the title of Miss Congeniality.
