*kills self* No sympathy here -- all it would have taken for a second Flyboy season at the helm was a $5 commitment, but someone was too cheap. The fee was dropped and MikeSC got in for free. But at least you still have your $5...

You mean the one located in Fort Marcy Park?...

Waaaah -- poor John Kerry. Cry me a river in Vietnam so he can drive his swiftboat on it...

You can either submit your picks and TB score on this thread or PM them to me -- if you PM your picks I will send you a response stating I have received them. If you post your picks, make sure they’re in the order of the list below; it will make it easier for me to keep track of games picked. If you PM me your picks, I'll post them on the thread either after your opponent posts his picks, or when the deadline passes. Once picks are submitted, you can't change them. Unlike last year, I will be using the same end-of-season tie-breakers that the NFL has. I will be posting this information later on in the thread. In addition, for people new to this contest, I’ll be posting results and standings later on in this thread as well. I hope to have final results up no later than Wednesday, but I’ll probably have most results up every Monday or Tuesday after that week’s worth of games have concluded. Once a person submits his picks and tie-breaker score, I will list those picks and his tie-breaker score next to his team (IND, NE, etc.) the "DIFF" entry will be the picks that you and your opponent disagree upon. Please double check my listings as mistakes do happen. For those that don’t know about point spreads, the team with the (number) is the favored team, and they must win their game by at least that many points in order to be considered a “win” in my contest. For example: In the Arizona at St. Louis game this week, I’m giving the Rams a 13-point spread to cover. That means St. Louis has to win by at least 13 points (20-7, 26-13, etc.) to be considered the winning team in my contest. All the point spreads are taken from the Las Vegas line (http://www.vegas.com/gaming) and tweaked a bit by me just to piss you off even more.

Just spoke with bob via AIM -- the white guy is John McEnroe and the black guy is Tim Meadows

Kiss my ass you commie hippie faggot. Bolded for my pleasure, too...

Woah, woah, woah. Are we talking about the same thing? I'm talking about that thingy the cable guy installed so I can get the Internet and Cable from the same cable wire. Trust me, when I look at my monthly bill I know I'm paying my fair share. Don't harass your customers, bitch...

Heh, I didn't have the heart to tell some people in this thread that Slayer's comment was made in jest...

At my previous place of residence I had a splitter and had both Cable and Internet with no problem...

How many times have we been "this close" to nabbing him? I'll believe it when I see them drag him out of his cave with a net, much like they did with that Brain Bug in "Starship Troopers..."

I'm glad they're showing this coverage -- puts a face on what we're up against...

OK, here's what I don't get about the whole tipping for drinks: What's the big deal about pouring a drink, or bringing a drink to someone? If you order an expensive drink you should give the same tip as if you were ordering water. I'm not saying this because Tyler is launching a partisan, personal, mean-spirited attack on the President's two helpless daughters -- I'm just a social cretin and don't understand such practices...

Can't speak for other Bush fans, but here's how I handle it: Next time you run for President, don't put your campaign in the hands of a bunch of far-sighted Jews...

How do you misinterpret boos and cheers? Now I can understand if a crowd is yelling a person's name like "Lou" and a reporter thinks it's "Boo." Damn you Liberal Media...

Yes, and I covered that with the following:

Whose challenge are you accepting? Mine or MikeSC's?...

Thank God I read threads like this through first before clicking on the link...

What about him?...

OK, for the last, well, it seems forever, we've been talking about this stupid election. Bush is a Nazi. Kerry is a Flip-Flooper. Bush is our 9/11 God. Kerry is a Vietnam Hero. Now, I love me a good political debate like anyone else -- well, not really since I have an ADD conditition when it comes to reading posts that are not written by me and are longer than three sentences. However, I'm already sick of hearing about the latest poll numbers that mean nothing two months away from the election. I'm also tired of seeing "Who would you vote for as of 8/12/04 at 1:30 p.m?" threads. Of course, I know this political bickering will continue right up to the Election, and that's why I have decided to make it worth something. I'm calling on all you Kerry/Bush lovers/haters to put your money where your mouth is. If you support your candidate so much, or if you're opposed to a candidate and want him defeated at any cost, I'm calling your punk-ass out. I say let's make a wager on who will win the 2004 Election -- Bush or Kerry -- and let's put something on the line that will remind us of our glorious victory or bittersweet defeat. Our Avatars. Here's how it will work. Someone who is on Bush's side hook up with somone on Kerry's side via this thread by issuing an open challenge on this post. Someone who is on Kerry's side accept an open challenge of your choice by a Bush Backer. If Bush wins the election, the Bush backer gets to choose the Kerry backer's Avatar and subject line, and versa vice should Kerry win the election. Now I know a number of you are going to say "But I'm THIRD-PARTY INDEPENDENT." Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of here. I don't like most of you anyway. Now I figure a fair amount of Avatar take-over time should be from when the election is over to the end of the 2004 calendar year. And of course, the Avatars and subject line must conform to TSM standards. Now who's in, and more importantly, which Kerry supporter faggot will accept my challenge? Fellow Conservative Brigade members follow suit, if you have the nerve. Remember, only those that are Bush Backers issue the open challenge and only those that are Kerry Backer accept an open challenge. I figure things should work more smoothly if one side does the challenging and the other side does the accepting, if things should work at all, that is...

Too bad they've thrown just about everything at Bush and nothing has stuck. This seems to resemble Clinton in some ways -- if the other side keeps getting more and more red-faced it'll make the POTUS stronger in the eyes of the public. God, elected Democrats can dish it out but they sure as hell can't take it...

Odd how I haven't heard the America media refer to the rebels as "Muslims." And I think if I were one of these terrorists I'd rather be dead than captured. The Russians put Abu Ghrab and Camp X-Ray to shame. Don't mess with Putin...

Blah blah blah, Bush sucks, give eveything back to the people. Nothing that I haven't already heard from wacky Ralph. Although I did see a commercial the other day from some special interest group saying how great the telecommunications act was and that we needed MORE deregulation so you can work from Miami beach and attend a meeting via laptop in your shorts and have beach balls thrown at you. Or something like that...

I'm a bit doubtful about the "booing Clinton" AP story, since I heard Bush's sound bite on the radio and there were nothing but cheers. Of course I was listening to an evil CLEAR CHANNEL station, so they probably edited the crowd noise to make the Prez look good...

He may have gotten 20 or so deferrments during Vietnam, but I'm sure Cheney would gladly have heart attack #56 if it meant four more years of Bush. But seriously, for as much as I don't like the man, 58 is way too young for a former president to die. I hope he gets through this. I now open the floor up to the hippie/pinko/commie insults that will surely be hurled at me now...

Well if you didn't knock her up you would have had an easier time of it. You were the one that got her preggers, right?...
