Nothing particularly sick, just a sloppy guard and Rashad being able to take advantage, really. Followed by Forrest trying and barely succeeding at not breaking down in tears during his post-fight interview.

Good luck to everyone. Well, except Hawk since I'm playing you.

So what does that parlay pay out?

What is it, like, Moncton, New Brunswick? Well, not exactly. Imagine if Hamilton was a city-state, and had 31 million people. And of the 31 million people that owned cars, they live up to the stereotype of Chinese people not being able to drive, except that they can because there are apparently no actual rules for driving here and noone seems to get into an accident. Oh, and it rains all the fricking time here.

I'm kinda bummed that I won't be seeing this card anytime soon. In theory it starts at 10am or so here in China but I'm supposed to be heading into Hong Kong on the 28th and there's the whole "downloading PPVs illegally in a country that occasionally frowns upon looking the wrong way" thing. Well, there's always the hope that my cousin d/ls it before I leave HK. By the way, while some parts of China are nice, Chongqing is not one of those places. Definitely would not recommend coming here even if your brother-in-law is getting married there.

Kinda sucks that I didn't get to see her at any conventions I went to, but then again I could never afford the gazillion bucks required to go to a Trek Convention. And since the kid (new pics below btw) I don't get around these things as much, since I have no money thanks to my wife's brother getting married here in Chongqing, China (apparently a sister city to the T-dot-O).

Guess I can make my picks. By PM, of course. As for voting, Yes to both.

Chris, I think that if I lose both my games and Minny wins both their games I'll be SOL since I'd be 3-3 in division games (vs 4-2) as I think that's the first TB.

OK, so myself, Atlanta and Minny are 11-3 or better, and one of us is not getting a bye. Meanwhile, 11-3 would guarantee you a bye in the AFC. And I would not be surprised at all if the AFC/NFC roles were reversed next year.

I'm off to Hong Kong tomorrow, so good luck to everyone with the rest of the regular season if I don't post here before then...

It's not so much that I'm close-minded towards it, it's just that I haven't yet explored my options. Fair enough.

I don't see how one could hate on ravioli. To me, it's yet another variation on the dumpling. Dumplings are interesting because so many cultures developed a version of dumplings independent of one another, yet they're all so similar. And tasty. So don't let the fact that Chef Boyardee bastardized the food make you question it's legitimacy in the gastronomical world. Like deep fried food, it's good stuff.

It's pretty much the story of Jonathan Goulet - mow through the C-level guys, go night-night against better competition (with the exception of Hazelett, since he got tapped). Back to TKO for the Road Warrior, where his "go straight forward" strategy should still fool some Quebecers. Rich Clementi would no doubt tell Brandon to learn some Jiu-Jitsu.

Well, that was KO of the Night. Damn, Josh, what took you so long to do shit like that?

Someone's been reading Football Outsiders, no? A quick look at the numbers would seem to indicate that noone should be above 8-5 based on Pythagorean record, which is probably to be expected in a pick 'em league. I fully expect a regression towards the mean next year.

Only if it ends with Sylar killing the alien Queen and thus becoming the secretary of defence despite being a crazed killer.

Probably a good thing I clinched early since weeks 16-17 I'm in HK and likely using EPs... And I've no idea how I managed to get what I've got this year since in the NFC South I think I've always struggled just to make the playoffs. I'll probably be 2-14 next year...

East Meets West was brilliant, but Simply Ming suffers from being on PBS and having to do the "ok, and I've prepared ahead of time..." swap out. I always find that this creates a bit of a disconnect.

Holy Crap, I won the NFC East...

In the end, it doesn't really matter, because it's still a grind, even if this was one of the shorter Races in terms of time. You dominate like that, you get my respect.

The "old woman" and "y'all" would seem to point to Paula Deen

Yeah, I think Starr should stick with Spangler should the relationship go the distance...

Good to hear he got his passport back quickly. But it's gotta suck being the cameraman and production guy seeing the pack lying there and KNOWING that you can't say anything, even if it's partially your fault, because you can't break the fourth wall unless you yourself get injured.

When it comes to poultry, Asians aren't fond of white meat. As you live in the GTA, you know that it's not necessarily the case for non-avians.

I think there's a couple of White Queen's running around in the X-books. Or one of them is Goblin Queen or something. I've been trying to follow along but I haven't been following Uncanny due to my aversion to Land's lightboxing everything.
