And if Mace is reading this, yes he served in WWII, as did most of the greatest generation.

I figured as much. Sorry for your loss, WW.

Mace

Would you stfu, already, please? Uhh, no. You don't know wtf you're talking about. What the fuck do you know about recessions, expanding economies, or anything else related fuck all? You're a middle-of-the-road douchebag. You act as though there's something noble by pretending to have zero politica...

I can't tell you all how glad I am to have read this thread so that I know who to blame for those massive increases in my investments during the 4th quarter of '09. That fucking Obama. Hell, that motherfucker is gonna cause me to pay a shitload more in taxes. The cocksucker. It appears the unemploym...

The 70s? I was there but, for some reason, it's all a little hazy.

Alford is the cancer who was responsible for Iowa's demise in basketball....and Lickliter had very little to do with it. Most of the players transferring out of Iowa City upon Lickliter's arrival was, in no small part due to Alford. Alford didn't demand that his players attend class....they were the...

Van, you're such a fun hater!! Seriously though, I am considering naming my kid (he's on the way) George Brett. The problem is I'm not really a big fan of the name "George". Also considered John Hayden (after John Hayden Fry). The problem with that is my name is Jon (short for Jonathan). ...

Mace

Well, we've now seen Sam in a t-shirt, so I think it's only fair that we now see his wife in one.....a wet one. Nice catch there, Sam. No wonder you feel so young. Props to you. :)

Mace

See ya in 20 years you decrepit old fucks. :hfal: Probably not all of us. If you are still around then, I'll be the one who looks 40. Hell, R-Jack, everybody "looks 40" to me these days.....except Mikey, Charger Mike, Wolfman, and Sam. I like hanging out with those guys just so I look you...

Let the celebration commence.
Isn't it time for your afternoon Metamucil/Ensure cocktail, and a little nap after you change your Depends?

Thanks for the reminder, Mikey. I'm getting forgetful these days. :)

Mace

Props to the 55 year olds. I was there 5 years ago and some co-workers hosted a party at the local watering hole, and managed to talk the local DOT to pony up a 55 mph road sign to decorate the entrance of the bar. Hope they'll be able to do the same when I reach the Interstate speed limit too.

Mace

Yet Alford moved on the "plum" job at New Mexico and turned them into an NCAA 3-seed. Yes, he did, and how did that #3 seed work out for him? Pretty easy to win games in a shit conference and then get an undeserved high seeding in the tournament. There's a reason he left the Big 10 and ha...

I'll see your "two elite eights" and raise with a Final Four. (1980...since we're going back 30 years). Well then, let's go back to your lifetime... I'll see your FF, and raise you a Championship. The Tall Firs championship was in 1939, well before my lifetime, and the same year as Iowa's...

The only part of the bill that doesn't sit well with me is the mandate that everyone must buy health insurance without offering up a plan that is affordable for everyone. I suspect that the public option will be coming at some point in the future. Which lies? How about the "death panel" sc...

Mace

Rising approval of the healthcare bill is, at least in part, due to the public finally finding out what's in the bill and being able to recognize all of the lies and scare tactics spewed by FOX News and the Republicans. Same old shit....err...American politics.

Mace

Props to the Spartans and a great effort out of UNI. MSU took away the 3 and got the job done.

UNI is up by 7 at the half and Purdue/Duke is a 2 point game right now. Maybe you're watching the better game.

Mace

Do you think Marty can start shipping us our prescriptions from Canada? I mean, shit, Levitra is $20 a pill and, at my age, fucking ain't quite worth that much. Speaking as an Iowa farmer, that's about four bucks a second.

Mace

Insurance premiums go up due to the ever increasing and ridiculous cost of medical procedures and prescription meds. Reduce those costs and insurance would be far more affordable for the average Joe. I know that's an oversimplification of the healthcare problem, but what can be done to reduce those ...

Mace

Nice game by the Vols beating Evan Turner and tOSU. Not much of the Baylor game shown here, but it looks like they piss pounded St.Marys. Hoping UNI has a good showing tonight and can do what Iowa could not do....beat the Spartans.

Mace

Looks like Iowa's AD is waiting for all of the good coaches to take other jobs. Ben Jacobson, the UNI coach, just signed a 10 year deal with UNI for $450,000 a year. Rumor has it that Iowa offered Bruce Pearl $3 million a year and he wasn't interested. I'm guessing that Iowa will either have to sett...

As for what it takes to be a cop, some places can demand more than others dependent on their pay levels, but, it ain't rocket science. A high school degree and a few years active duty in the military is generally good enough. To get hired....probably. But actually make it through the academy & ...

I've yet to see it, but I'm hoping to pick up the DVD this weekend.

Yeah, I know what you and CM are talking about. Wasn't it Mickey Mantle who said "if I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself"? Yeah, don't we all.

what tod said. mace, sounds like your wife more than earns her paycheck. if she was in ct, she'd be making a fair bit more. of course, her living expenses would be quite a bit more. as for the 'we get a better pension deal because we sacrifice on the earning end while employed' arguement, it may ha...

Those are state and local public sector jobs. At issue is the continual bloating of the Federal Government. And P.S. For a dude who bitches about Human Resources .... well .... whatever .... there's really no point in arguing about it. The issues, as raised by smackaholic, were the ones that I addr...

Speaking as one of those lazy bloodsucking public employees...at least a recently retired one.....who is also married to someone in her 35th year as a school teacher, I have to wonder what the fuck you morons are whining about. I've dug ditches, poured concrete, worked on asphalt crews, scooped hog ...

Mace

The impact on my wife and I is irrelevant, fool. We're talking about disrupting the institution of marriage to include people that were never intended to be married. The burden is on you to provide a justification for wrecking that institution. You may begin... There are a lot of heteros who were n...

Mace

You really are as stupid as everyone claims, dumbfuck. LMAO! Yeah, I fucked that comment up...should have said cannot exempt rather than can exempt. I sucked it on that one. The point was that states have the authority to exempt some public sector personnel from SS. And, yes, that means all of them...

if i am required to play in this ponzi scam, so should cops, teachers and others who enjoy fat pensions partly because they can fund these plans with money the rest of us have to throw down the SS rat hole. and now, these same folks will get special treatment on this healthcare clusterfukk.

A baseball swing is incredibly hard to change, even with repitition. Ask Drew Henson or any other top prospect that has a hitch in their swing. Even if they do put in the time, it's not a guarantee they can change. That's why I said "it isn't easy"....but it can be done. As for a baseball...

Drew Brees never had a trainwreck of a passing motion like VY or Tebow. Never. He had a popgun arm that was virtually useless at the professional level. He changed his delivery, got more of his body into his throw and his distance and velocity dramatically increased, so don't tell me something as t...

That show was my first introduction to Bill Cosby and resulted me buying a large number of his comedy albums.

I hope so, 'cause Ali will never have to buy another one.

If you're interested, I can probably find some UNI gear for ya, Mook. :)

That is toying with some serious "IN YOUR FACE!"

That's what happens when the only people with guns are the gang bangers and criminals.

I am sensing Mace's tour as a sub teacher is decreasing day by day. Probably not, Derron. I enjoy the flexibility of being a sub and so far have made about $1200 a month to supplement my pension. Give it up before we read about you in the Iowa fish wrap. Apparently just bitch slapping the student u...
