    I wasn't going to miss the last day for the world. Thanks for everything you and the other mods have done over the years. It's been a wonderful place to visit. So many great conversations with so many wonderful people... I have to be at work soon and everyone will be wondering why I'm so sad...

    Been here since 2008 back before I got my first ever job. Now I got my first house. It's been a wild ride. I loved talking Stephen King (and even football) on this board. Goodbye, wonderful beautiful people. I will see you elsewhere on the internet hopefully! If not then maybe elsewhere in...

    And now Brady Watch 2020 really starts. I think it would be interesting if he kept it in the AFC and went to the Chargers.

    By all rights the Rams shouldn't even be in the Super Bowl. That missed call on the Rams defender toward the end of the Saints game was so egregious that I really do think every referee involved should be terminated. I'm sure the "apology" the Saints organization received from the NFL...

    I Am Angry Today Because . . .

    The lights are staying lit. I haven't had a single problem. Which is good. A shame I had to buy security cameras and post a Brinks Security sign in my yard to get some peace of mind, but I guess that's what it takes to keep folks honest these days. I suppose I won't be able to solve this...

    I think it's remarkable how the Rams have sort turned into a terrible football team. They are struggling right now when they shouldn't be and they are playing the worst football than most of the playoff bound teams. If they have to play a game at New Orleans in the postseason I don't think that...

    Keep in mind the Pats lost to the Lions and Jags, too. They were not exactly playoff caliber teams, either. They'll probably beat the Jets and Bills, but it's not a sure-win like it used to be for the longest time. One of them at the very least could provide another upset.

    I Am Angry Today Because . . .

    Well, so far I haven't caught anyone, but I've also prevented further damage by monitoring my cameras. So far I haven't seen anything outside of two neighborhood cats that roam around at night and nothing else bad has happened to my lights. I don't think the vandal(s) will be trying it again. I...

    I can understand why he does. Undoubtedly he tossed it in the heat of the moment. But I saw the video where he was willing to offer gloves, cleats, a jersey, and tickets to the lucky fan that has the ball. Not too bad, IMO.

    The Giants actually looked impressive in a game on Sunday. Granted, they played against El ButtFumble and the Redskins, but a W is a W. Considering the start to the season, I believe an 8-8 or 7-9 season wouldn't be the worst in the world for the G-Men. I hope the Giants can keep competing...

    I Am Angry Today Because . . .

    I'm trying to wire the wires back together. I wish I had a little real camera right now. I plan on putting some real cameras outside. I am just waiting a few days for the next payday. Meanwhile I'm hoping the 13 bucks I spent for two fake cameras will be a somewhat worthwhile investment. If it...

    I Am Angry Today Because . . .

    This is the last straw. Another light strand was cut today. So I went on Amazon to buy two fake cameras and some security stickers to put outside. This is only going to be a deterrent and a temporary solution, but hopefully it's one that will work at least for a little while. I'm still going to...

    I almost had seven heart attacks on Saturday watching the SEC Championship between Alabama and Georgia. I knew it would be tough. KIrby Smart knows how to bring it against Alabama. I just didn't think Tua would struggle as much as he did. Not just him either, but the entire Alabama offense...

    The Bengals will get Hue and then meanwhile Mike McCarthy will be at home twiddling his thumbs and wondering if anyone wants him... :D

    Yeah, I know. Doesn't mean it's cool. :( I've already talked with all of my immediate neighbors just to see if they've seen anything. If I got to talk to everyone in the neighborhood I will. I'll catch them in the act sooner or later if they want to keep acting cute.

    Oh, if their jealous now I'd hate to see what they feel like next week. It's only November 28th. I'm just getting warmed up. :)

    Funny thing is I call my neighbors the Griswolds because they decorate their yard over the top, too. I like to think we have an unspoken competition with each other. He has a lot more yard ornaments and decorations, but mine are all LED and look better. :D

    Some punk has been cutting my Christmas lights. I go pretty all out for outside Christmas decorations and I make sure our house draws people to come look at our lights. Two strands in particular were cut, but one of them was a long one that went a good ways around the perimeter of the yard. 40...
