Why haven't I been watching Arizona all season? That QB's a cutie!

Anybody have squares? Here are ours. (We were very glad that first TD got overturned.)
1st Q: Pitts 3 Ariz 0
2nd Q: Pitts 1 Ariz 1
3rd Q; Pitts 6 Ariz 8
4th Q: Pitts 9 Ariz 3

Wish us luck.

Linda said...

Holy crap, we just won $150.00!

RecknHavic said...

Congrats on yalls big win!

Those stuff jalapenos look really good. How was the za?

Too bad for the cards, thought they had it when they scored w/ about two minutes left.

RecknHavic said...

Kurt Warner? he's like 52 yrs old ya know.

That's funny you mentioned the Sham Wow. S has been wantin to get those fro awhile. Sharp got some and actually had me come by his house one day & demonstrated em for me. Hafta say, they do really work.

Well, are burgers turned out exceptionally good tonite, S added about a 1/3 a cup a A1 when we seasoned/mixed the meat. HAd me a burger and a half and a beer. I know, I AM a party animal.

Linda said...

I know, what a drag. I didn't think I cared about that game, but it was exhasting. (We actually won another $25 after that!)
Peppers were good...za is always good. Didja grill?

$'ll go to good use..our water's orange which probably means new hot water tank.

Linda said...

Whoops, jinxed ya. Good to know about the Sham Wow. My dad said I can get something just like em in stores, but I told him the ad said "beware of immitators". :)

I'm watching Sex in the Bible.
Don't ask, I don't know.

Geez..couldn't even finish the beer? Weirdo.

RecknHavic said...

No, burger and a half and a whole beer. I'm tellin ya, I'm wild and crazy.
Besides, had to save room for thin mints. YES! S picked some up today so I'm back in girl scout cookie nirvana.

Enjoy your...sex and..uh...Bible stuff.

Weirdo.

Linda said...

52...he's 37. Besides, 52 still isn't too old. Jim Zorn (Redskin coach) is 55. I'll admit, that's a little creepy. Ok..I'll draw my line at 10 years older.

Linda said...

That's funny..I saved room for cheesecake.

Linda said...

Ok, I think that means you left, but...was it me or were the ads sub-par? Nothin really memorable.

RecknHavic said...

I'm back. Yes, they were exceptionally poor.

I was just readin about our boomin national debt. I know...I'm a glutton for punishment. So bac=sically when I retire it'll be into a super depression era that will make the original one look like good times.

Pass the thin mints please.

Nestor said...

Congrats on your win. Most of the stuff about the bible that I've seen on TV is garbage. They usually have very secular people try to explain the bible. It's usually like Stan trying to exegete scripture. You take someone with no biblical background and have them speak their nonsense, and give them a platform that gives them an air of authority on the matter.

So was the Boss, well, the Boss? I saw that Tony Soprano's Consiglieri put on a few pounds. I didn't really watch, and the surround sound wasn't hooked up where we were watching it so it was mostly just watching the game and talking since there weren't too many people who had a dog in the fight. A few rooting for Pittsburgh, but most pulling for Arizona.

RecknHavic said...

Ok, what's w/ the CNN on the laptop? :)

Ck out your movie collection in the pics. See that WR has a special place a honor.

Funny how Rox is actually watchin the pup gm.

Not me. I was thinking exactly what both head coaches were thinking. They scored that touchdown too soon. I knew Pittsburg would take advantage of all that time left.

Stan Rosenthal said...

Nestor, from my recollection, the only scripture I ever quote is from the 10 Commandments. What is it about the 10 Commandments that you don't understand????

Oh well. (-:

Linda said...

Darn groundhog. Phil's lucky I don't have a good gh stew recipe.

That's D's homepage.

She was really into that show. She likes watchin dogs on tv, it's weird.

Linda said...

I don't wanna go to the dentist today.

Linda said...

Try this. It's not hard, but the first time you do it is sorta interesting. See how many times it takes you to get 100%.

Nestor said...

I got them all on the second try. The first time I got the last one wrong. I was getting excited at the end and choked.

Linda said...

Ha! I choked in the beginning of the first try. Then I got hold of myself.

RecknHavic said...

13 % on first try. 100% on 2nd go.

Linda said...

Lol...13%? Oh that musta burned you up.

RecknHavic said...

A bit.

Hey, did ya here about the free Denny's grand slam breakfast manana. From 6am till 2 pm it's FREE! Too bad Denny's sucks.

Altho...it is free....

Linda said...

I did hear that. We don't have one that close or I might consider it. Not to mention the crowds. Can you imagine how busy? yuck...people.

RecknHavic said...

And the weather. Supposed to be in the THIRTIES here tomorrow mornin.

If I go, I'm waitn till mid mornin due to crowds and temp.

Linda said...

Oooh, Kwame's gettin out of the pokey at midnite. News says he's headed to Texas. You can have him.

So Glenn's show was good tonite. He didn't flub up his words too much, comedic timing was good...then came the last 5 minutes. He gives this speech about..oh who knows. I was distracted. I was distracted because they split the screen. On the right side was a normal head shot. You know..mid tie and up. On the LEFT side of the screen.. is a shot of just his eyes. A rectangle of his eyes. It was reeeealy dumb. Now his eyes are quite gorgeous, but still. Corny as all get out. Oy.

RecknHavic said...

You know, I still haven't caught his new show. Listened to him the other day on hate radio, but hard to catch much other than the first few minutes (which usually are the best tho).

How you likin Sirius?

Linda said...

It's great! I flip through 3 times as many stations and still can't find a song I like! Did catch Howard the other day. He's not very nice.

Linda said...

I'm grinding my teeth and I'm awake. That means I need sleep. Oh, no cavities today! :)
gn..

RecknHavic said...

Glad to hear it. Looks like you can eat away at them girl scout cookies now. Me..I finished off my boxa thin mints tonite.

gn

Stan Rosenthal said...

Linda -
> So Glenn's show was good tonite.

I can't imagine *ANY* of his shows to be good. Any night.

Fact is, he made Worser Person In The World again last night (but I think KO was referencing his show from the night before.)

Nestor said...

Stan,

"Fact is, he made Worser Person In The World again last night (but I think KO was referencing his show from the night before.)"

Glenn will probably wear that as a badge of honor.

What is the old Smash Mouth line from All Star???? - "She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead"

RecknHavic said...

Sooo, I've talked the wife and big kids (givin the boy a skip day) into breakfast at Denny's mid- mornin (cause I got me a short day today). Anybody else bravin the crowds for a free meal today?

Linda said...

Are you gettin waffles? Good luck..don't forget to tip your waitress. Nah...thinkin about popcorn at 1:00, tho. Isn't now mid morning?

Nestor said...

When you guys get a chance, check out Glenn's pic of the day.

Linda said...

That's hilarious! Love it.

RecknHavic said...

Been goin after it (to a point) w/ the atheists crew at TH this mornin (Dialogue W/ Darwinist's is the thread).

NOW we're headin to Denny's (albeit: late mornin).

Linda said...

That's funny...I've been at Ref. Man reading Jack go at it.
Enjoy!

RecknHavic said...

Well, Denny's was a bust. The line went out the front door and clear around the side a the rest. We hit HEB, came home & made our own grand slam (pancakes, dippy eggs, sausage and bacon; mmm..bacon).

Nestor said...

Well, the early bird gets the Grand Slam.

RecknHavic said...

Dang early birds.

Linda said...

Aw...sorry to hear that. I had popcorn. Went and saw Milk. (I can't find The Reader around here at a good time, so that was my 4th.) I'm sorry, but there's no such thing as a boycott of a Best Pic nomination in February. I have a job to do.

RecknHavic said...

And you do your job well.

Linda said...

Thank you. Even though I felt your eyes rolling.

Linda said...

Have you seen that t.v. commercial for "Loud 'n Clear"? The sound amplifier that fits in your ear? I love the part when the guy's listening in on a convo some girls are having at a party. He's all pleased when he hears they call him cute...never mind that he's also creepy as hell w/ that sound amplifier in his ear, eavesdropping on everyone there.

RecknHavic said...

Yeah, it's funny and kinda creepy. Altho, after bein at my father-in-laws enough times w/ the tv turned up to stadium volume, I'm not dead set against those things.

Linda said...

There's your next Christmas gift for him. You're welcome!

Gettin chinese grub tnite..mmmm.

Geez, Glenn was really chokin up tnite. I dare say it went further than a lump in the throat, and entered the realm of out right crying.

RecknHavic said...

That Glenn, he's so emotional.

We went up to y7oungest's school tonite for a PTA dinner, art thingy.

We're eatn Lil Caesars now :)

Linda said...

Better stop after the first few bites.

We've got a pancake dinner at school tomorrow night. The crowd's gonna be like Denny's.

RecknHavic said...

I hope not, those Denny's patrons are desperate, desperate people.

Linda said...

You're funny.

Happen to see our high tomorrow? ouch. Good news is Saturday..they're talkin 47. Rain, but that's ok. I finally have every piece of ice off the driveway. I did it Sunday when it was 36. I was scrapin up big sheets of it...very satisfying.

RecknHavic said...

Yes, 14 degrees is definitely ouch worthy. Mid 60s today here.
Do you remember the 60s?

Linda said...

No, 'sniff', I don't.

I was just tellin the boys this morning that before we know it we're gonna be swimmin at gma's! This is about the time of year we all start dreaming...

Linda said...

Wow, nice 10 day. I'll give it to you..you do have perfect winter weather.

If only it weren't for the humidity and giant bugs. You do have giant bugs, don't you? Like monster spiders and poisonous stuff like scorpions? That may be just what we tell ourselves to make us feel better.

RecknHavic said...

Well, the rattle snakes usually take care a the scorpions for us, and as far as monster spiders go...the kids like playin w/ em.

It's the armadillos ya gotta watch out for.

Linda said...

I thought they were all dead.

RecknHavic said...

You're think of the armadoodoo.

Linda said...

Ohhh, right.

Linda said...

Having been to both Lowe's AND Home Depot today..I highly recommend to my single lady readers that they frequent these stores.

RecknHavic said...

Ahh..you're referin to the Contractor Pick-up area I presume.

Linda said...

Lol...there's an "area"? :)

RecknHavic said...

Sure, near the lumber where it says Contractor Pick-up.

Linda said...

har har..

Linda said...

Man alive...Lost is getting confusing.

Nestor said...

Maybe it's not about the people on the show being 'Lost', maybe they want the audience to be 'Lost'.

RecknHavic said...

It is confusin.
S made a good point c/o that theory about the button resetin time every 108 mins..how could there have been day & night? Wouldn't it always be constant to the time the button was originally pushed?

Btw, I knew it was Ben who hired the lawyer and also figured Jin was still alive; I mean, he had already survived one boat explosion. I guess he was inside the loop of the island & just floatin around zappin through time.

???

Linda said...

I think Nestor's right.

I'll have to think about the day/night thing. Later.
I figured out Ben, too. And I knew it was Rousseau in the raft at the end. Ok, maybe that wasn't rocket science, but still. Jin wasn't even on my radar.

Stan Rosenthal said...

Jin, I got your number. 8675.309.

It's currently on EBAY. :-)

Quote Of The Day

“Lost time is never found again.”
Benjamin Franklin

Linda said...

That Ben. Why did all those ol time guys find the need to be so profound? I bet they sat up late jotting things down by candlelight tryin to out do each other. I'm thinkin Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin had a little competition going.

Nestor said...

Wasn't it Jefferson and Hamilton? I thought they had some kind of beef. I think Franklin had beef with John Adams. I could have that all messed up though. I do know that Adams and Hamilton had beef with someone though.

Linda said...

I was just kiddin around. But I do think Adams and Franklin had a few issues. Appeared so from the NINE HOUR miniseries I watched.

Hit Home Depot again to get the rest of the painting stuff. I didn't see the Contractor Pick-up area...I DID however, see the Contractor Check-out area. There was a real sign..I was laughin by myself. :)

Now I'm drinkin hot chocolate cuz I got chilled to the bone out there. Did you know if you shake the Swiss Miss canister back and forth, the marshmallows come to the surface?

RecknHavic said...

That marshmellow things good to know. I always fill like I'm gettn ripped-off cause they disappear.

Contractor-ck out..that's funny. The Contractor Pick-up area is outside; there's a big sign. I guess ya ckem out inside & wait outside to pickem up.

Linda said...

I like the way they think.

Nestor said...

A question about Home Depot. Here in Texas it says: "Texas' Home Improvement Superstore" I don't think I've seen that in any other state. I remember it always saying: "America's..." or "Your..." but not "your state's name here Home Improvement Superstore" I wonder what it says up there in Michigan.

Linda said...

In commercials you mean? Cuz I can't say that slogan sounds familiar. Maybe I just haven't noticed. I'll be more aware and let ya know.
