  1. Ah the famous hotel continental breakfast. Bagel - 50 carbs. Biscuit - 35 carbs. Orange Juice - 10 carbs. I hope your planning to shovel the hotels parking lot after that.
     
  2. It's always easy to second guess a play after it's over but WTF Seattle? It's second down on the two yard line, you have Marshawn Lynch, and you pass it.

  3. Teams score on those quick slant routes in the NFL all the time. Butler just made an incredible play...the WR looks wide open when Russell is releasing the ball. No worse than Brady's first INT in the red zone.
     
  4. But it is worse than Brady's INT. Teams can recover from an INT in the first quarter. It's hard to recover when there is only 25 seconds left in the last game of the year. They could have played it safe and tossed it to the corner and then have two more plays after that with time to think about it. It was a bad call.
     
  5. Quick slants at the goal line rarely result in anything other than short completions, TDs, or incomplete passes. You're a Bronco fan...I'm sure you're familiar with Peyton Manning throwing short slants for TDs. Plus, they were running it against an NFL rookie who had never previously intercepted a pass in his career. Standard call, great play by Butler.
     
  6. It must have been a really bad fart.

  7. Chinese man forced to wear sign apologizing for not handing all his wages to his wife

    An apologetic husband was made to kneel outside partially naked with a sign round his neck after pocketing some of his wages instead of giving them all to his wife.

    In China, the man traditionally hands over his entire wage packet each month to the wife, who usually manages the family's financial affairs.

    Yul Pan, however, is one of many Chinese husbands who secretly pocket some of their wage for their own use.
    But Mr Pan, 34, left the money in his trousers - and his wife found it when she went to wash them.

    Furious, she threw him out and told him he would not be allowed back until he performed a suitable apology in which the neighbours also realised that he had been shirking his responsibilities as a husband and a provider.

    Obligingly, he stripped off his shirt, put the sign that she had provided around his neck, and sat in the courtyard repeating over and over again how sorry he was until she finally allowed back inside.

    A small crowd gathered to witness the man's embarrassment in the city of Hangzhou in eastern China’s Zhejiang province.

    The sign said: 'My dear and wonderful wife, I know I made a mistake, I will hand in all my payments in the future.'

  8. That sounds more like traditionalism than feminism.
     
  9. That's pretty much just Chinese and southeast Asian women in a nutshell. They treat their husbands like bitches. It's why I'm always suprised when Western men think they want an Asian woman because they'll be subservient. They're pretty much the exact opposite of that. They'll cut your dick off, literally sometimes.
     
  10. Well I guess men can't be picky when the ratio is 10 men for every 1 woman.
     
  11. This man was able to eloquently summarize the latest antics of Kanye West.

  12. Another day, another Snowmageddon. I'm starting to think that I live in Buffalo.
     
  13. No snow here but a pretty thick layer of ice. Decided to stay home today.
     
  14. 63 degrees here. Nice and warm.
     
  15. Boston has already broken it's all-time 30 day snow record at 60 inches AND it's not going to stop snowing until sometime in the AM on Tuesday. That's pretty crazy because 1978 has always been the benchmark...Blizzard of '78 this, Blizzard of '78 that is all you heard in the past when it came to "real" storms and snow totals.

  16. I need a video chat solution. One end needs to have a camera point down towards a table surface but have a screen that's facing up so it can be seen. Is there any way to get this to work with FaceTime? I think I'll be stuck using a laptop and usb camera on a stand.
     
  17. Well it looks like you can use facetime for Windows and with Windows it must assume you are using a webcam of some sort so I can't see it being an issue.

    I see what you did there, facing down 'at your desk ;)'.
     
  18. Am I missing something? Wouldn't you just FT using the back camera?
