FB: Liberty League

[Senor RedTackle]

RT on his way to airport after his "engagement announcement week" with FILs. Lots to report but RT on his blackberry now and has been under strict lockdown, "no laptop" orders since Thur night by FMIL. RT apologizes for going incognito but forces have been beyond RT's control. RT will need some advice on how to keep from checking out the FBILBBGF (future brother in law's big beeasted gf). She was throwing her wares around all week, taunting RT. RT glad to be headed back to Albany to be rid of said temptress.

Next ordrer of business...drop 25lbs.

RT taking a poll...who are the skiers in LL,Inc?. RT would like to do a board meeting in Killington in Feb.

Been away from posting a bit, but wondering if anyone else has seen final AFCA Division III Football Poll?

Absolutely ludicrous...After Top 25 (which rightfully includes Union, Hobart, Ithaca)...AFCA has Fisher with 36 votes, Cortland 33.......Alfred gets 2 votes and Rensselaer gets 1 vote!!

Alfred (9-2) and 13-7 winner over Fisher (8-3)
RPI (8-2) and 26-22 winner over Fisher (8-3)

Kind of like voting Whitewater #1 in the nation after the Raiders of Mount Union defeated them, 35-28.

D3football.com Top 25 poll much closer to reality! Kudos to the gurus of D3football.com!

ENGINEGRO PULLS OFF DUEL FANTASY FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

LLPP All Star and original RPI Playa Hata Enginegro has completed his mastery of not one but 2 seperate fantasy football leagues this fall. The Time Haters prevailed on the strong play of Chad Johnson, Chris Cooley, and a suprising effort from Ravens WR Mark Clayton.

Gro's other team Pimpin' Ain't Easy, was the start to finish leader thanks to a live draft of the ages. No one was able to stop Shawn Alexander, Carson Palmer, Antonio Gates, and Anquan Boldin to name a few.

Now over $300 richer, the liquor cabinet in Gro's house will be well stocked.

Garnet came across these 'remedies' and thought his fellow LLPP members might find some of them useful.

HOME REMEDIES

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic! Simply pour a cup of
boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost
instantly removed.

2. Are you clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by
getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs about lifting the toilet seat by simply
using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: just cut yourself and bleed for a
few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.

5. A mousetrap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you
will be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will
forget about the toothache.

Garnet -- #6 made 'gro snarf coffee on the computer screen. might have to try that sometime.

4. Has this ever happened to you?.... you catch some trim out of the corner of your eye. Naturally your head swings in that direction and you realize that said girl is somewhere in the 13 age range. Usually the father is nearby. Guilt sets in... then you blame the parents for letting their daughter dress in a short skirt and hooker boots.

JT can relate.  On JT's way into NYC from Dirty Jersey he drives past the Fashion Institute of Technology (college) and often catches glimpses of well decked out honey's on the way to class.  All are at least 18.

Not more than a few minutes later he passes the Manhattan Fashion Industries H.S. All the "women" look older than they probably are.

As the weather gets warmer,  JT hits a daily fashion show of the skimpiest outfits.  Girls never dressed like this when JT went to HS and college.  From April through June, JT tries to time his drive to hit the maximum amount of red lights from FIT to FIHS.

Anyone notice the "you can't repeat karma" notice has been bumped up from 12 to 18 hours? or is this just a vendetta against karma happy Gro?

Yeah... what kind of BS is that?

[Regulator]

Gro-

DSB is about to take DS to Vegas for a winter wedding and the ONLY thing you care about is the FF money you won and that the Karma frequency has been extended 6 hours?

['gro]

Reg, don't hate on Gro's FF skillz or his obsession with karma. Now Gro must wait 18 hours to smite the living hell out of you. (nah nah Gro would never smite a fellow hater).

DSB is a touchy subject. Gro doesn't have a younger sister so he really can't relate to Dawg's struggle, but Gro is sympathetic to dawg's plight. On the other hand... who HASN'T been in DSB's shoes? Meeting the parents is a draining and life altering experience, especially when coupled with

a.) travel
b.) holidays
c.) overnight stays
d.) all of the above

The cards are against DSB and all boyfriends out there. Anything that can go wrong, will.... including but not limited to:

touching GF's booty (intentional or not) and getting caught by mom, dad, or brother and instantly labeled sex crazed pervert

The father (and if applicable brother) are either going to love you or hate you right from the start.

GF's brother, younger or older, will usually spout out things of a sexual nature in order to make you respond and inadvertantly disclose his sister's inner freak.

Having to go outside in the freezing cold just to release internal gas buildup from GF mom's lasagna.

Constant mispronunciation of your name (ok that's Gro specific)

Meeting senile grandparents who ask "new boyfriend? what happened to (insert ex-boyfriend from junior high)?"

there are more... LLPP help a Gro out.

p.s. DAWG, Gro supports your cause 100%. Sisters need to be protected. If DSB were to in any way harm or shame DS you send DSB up to Chatt town. Gro know's some pipe hittin' enginegro's who will go at him with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

bonus karma to whoever knows where that last line came from.

hey-ohhhh! nice call wishbone, even more than Gro expected. Never heard of Charley Verrick. Only fitting since Tarantino takes (aka steals) a lot from other movies.

Charley Varrick had Walter Matthau as a bank robberwith I believe Joe Don Baker as a mob guy sent to take him out because he robbed a mob bank.  Worth a watch if it's on DVD or cable.

Hey all you Union fans.

I am reading an interesting Christmas gift from my mother-in-law entitled, "A Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Never knew it but kudos for having a distinguished alumnus known as William Seward, aka, "Seward's Folly", now our Forty-Ninth State - Alaska. 

Most impressive, and he came so very close to edging out a rail-splitter from Illinois for the GOP nomination in 1860.  Curious what you may learn when you open a book and then your mind!
