Such a weird movie. We don't get to have funny shit like this nowadays. We get people yelling at Zack Galifinackis and we're supposed to think it's funny.
I live 5 minutes from a very popular ski area. It has been 70F the last two days. We have gotten frost a couple times, and I think I saw flurries once, but the grass is still very green. The resort operators must be going nuts at this point (but maybe keeping their pools open).
I'm wearing shorts. In Michigan. In mid-Dececember. Even the squirrels around my hood are wearing Hawaiian shirts and little sunglasses.
I know there are going to be consequences to this global warming stuff, like having to carefully shave my legs all year round, but it's rather nice right now.
That squirrel is living the life! I mean, could what that squirrel has going on be really any worse than what any of us have going on? I'd switch places with that squirrel in a second.
"Oh this fucking sucks, young humans are shooting pellet guns at me and all I want is a damn acorn. Fuck being a squirrel."
It's kind of a chicken and egg thing though — fandom forms because those are the games you get shown, much of the time. A large portion of the population in my general area are transplants from NYC, NJ and Philly, but our tv stations are located closer to Scranton. But I guess that's how they get people to buy the NFL package, huh?
Just got around to reading the Jamboroo. Another good week for Emmitt Smith:
"But I think—and this is somewhat counterclockwise—that it’s GOOD to lose a game before you get to the pornseason. Brotherwise, you’ll feel that torsion build up." http://deadspin.com/the-nfl-should-seize-control-…
Thankee kindly, snow. Several of the SparkleKarens went nuts this week. Save some for the playoffs, fellas! (Also, it seems a little silly taking credit for one's fantasy team. Why, it almost feels like I've accomplished something!)
I wish OnSpot chains were a practical option for passenger vehicles. We've been putting them on the fire trucks for over 25 years, and it's awesome: http://www.realworktrucks.com/media/catalog/produ…
No, you never touch the chains. They are on a hydraulic thingy. You push a button while driving down the road, the little spider chains lower and spin beneath the tires as you drive. Push the button again, they go back to the resting position in the under carriage (and it's very important the tires are turning when you turn them off, but I think the later models have a safety lockout on them). That's the whole point of having them for emergency vehicles, there's no putting them on or taking them off, they're always there and you switch them on and off in seconds.
We never needed them much, but the roads in the foothills of the Sourlands are pretty steep, while the firehouse is in the flat, so you really don't want to stop at the bottom of the road and spend 30 minutes putting chains on a large truck while someone's house is on fire.
Very northern end of Mercer, southwest bit of Somerset and southern part of Hunterdon. They run from Montgomery/Hopewell up to Lambertville. Belle Mountain is in the ridge. It's not terribly high — I always joked that it's what people from Holland and England thought was a mountain ridge until they got further west.
ETA: They are steep enough that the water company won't run lines up. We had to put through an ordinance requiring developers to install big water holding tanks for fire use because there will never be hydrants there. Also, it was apparently a favorite haunt of bootleggers during prohibition, and where the mansion Lindbergh's baby was kidnapped from was located.
Oh, yeah, avoid the Wawa in Montgomery on Saturdays — cyclists make a point of driving down from The City just to bike the Sourlands en masse, and they end there and clog the place up for an hour. So much spandex.
Man. That's a real shame, when people be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that.
So many good quotes from that movie:

Or Seth Rogan. Why is he in movies?
I assume he is someone important's weed dealer.
Seth Rogen irritates the shit out of me. I don't think he's funny at all.
Yeah, Seth Rogan. Did you know he smokes pot and masturbates?
I'll bet ya two dollars that the Lions win today!
Good luck getting him to pay up. Be prepared to bike down a mountain.
on skis!
We finally got some snow in the mountains instead of rain, so the ski areas have re-opened. Perhaps a bit more needed so as not to take yer rock skis.

Not a tie with the Lambs?

THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. LOVE. THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE OF LOVE.
Stafford just threw a pick and OH MY GOD WHY THE HELL DO I STILL WATCH THE LIONS.
They are really Lioning it up today, huh?
I am still baffled by why the NFL/networks have decided that the stations here in NE PA should show Steelers games but not Eagles games.
At the risk of being mean to Eagles fans, this could be why:

Breaking !
The chord sequence for "Sultans of Swing" is pretty much the same as in "Please Don't Let me be Misunderstood."
I'm sure Knopfler did it as an homage.
There could be a couple jillion others too. I just learned Sultans, and had this 'Hey, wait a minute" moment.
The tempos are rather different, and there is the little bass turn in Sultans, but mostly, there are only so many chords, eh?
While your misunderstandings are swinging, how about some [ lost acoustic bluez? ]
Awesome.

That's why he'd rest his farters.
Halftime! Time for a crazy cat video: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/watch-hil…
That stuffed tiger will never mess with that cat again.
Seems the Seaslugs have finally woke up. Now how about those Tundra Pachyderms vs. the Dallas Cowpokers?

December at Lambeau and it's raining. Weird.
At kickoff, it was about 20 degrees warmer in Philadelphia than it was in Phoenix.
So odd. Glad I didn't waste money on snow tires*
* I will regret this statement sometime in March, probably.
Iggles won!

I am truly baffled. I got back from my long run thinking I would be joining Vodka in crying in my beer.
And STFU about Dalton's injury, espn.com: get back to me when you have three injured QB's FFS.
Fuck it, I think I'll do all of my long training runs on Sunday–that seems to help my team.
Now, this is how you excessively celebrate! Watch all the way through. He just does not stop! http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/william-gay-fla…
Fuck it, if they can only penalise you 15 yards, why not!

Of course, this was the best sports type 'celebration' ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oyxLFD2IIw
And both the Pack and the Hawks won…

Hi. Since Callyson got to mock an injury do I get to taunt the rest of the NFC north all year?
Karma caught up with the Bengals after Le'Veon's season. Just sayin'…
PS: go for it with the NFC North–I know I'm LMFAO about that division…
It could be worse. (AFC South and NFC East.)
That game was like a tank vs. a dixie cup. Who do you think is going to win?
Also gg cmdr, your team crushed mine. Hoping for a finals rematch in the playoffs!
Thankee kindly, snow. Several of the SparkleKarens went nuts this week. Save some for the playoffs, fellas! (Also, it seems a little silly taking credit for one's fantasy team. Why, it almost feels like I've accomplished something!)
Aargh! The Coach's Clicker! Tony Dungy, you're making me nauseated!
Not sure if Houston has a chance.
Then again, it's actually raining in Los Angeles for a change, so anything is possible…
Ugh. Another 15-yard penalty for barely touching Tom Brady. Seriously, fuck that guy.
BROWNS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo!

Me, imitating whiny Tom Brady voice, "Meh, I don't wanna play football anymore. I wanna talk to Giselle."
smokey: "I wonder if he calls her Gis [pronounced jizz] for short."
I will always here this when I hear Tom Brady's voice…

Oh well…looks like this game is over. Time to walk the boys. Have a good night, everyone, and I'll see you tomorrow!

The Belle Bump! (That's what my friends in Yardley called it, anyway).
