Yeah that part was creepy. Although my favorite part was at the very end . That type of hilarious violence will keep me coming back. Its almost like a choose your own adventure, with bacon being the reader.

I think the more interesting Ray Lewis story is about the alleged use of performance enhancing drugs to recover from his injury this season.

Really glad that Jimmy Butler is doing well, if he can keep that up when Rose gets back Bulls are dangerous.

Yeah the CBS version as opposed to the BBC version (which i believe is on netflix as well)

Steve needs to capitalize on this. He could be on the cusp of the next Starbucks.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 12:43 PM) Finally watched seasons 1 and 2 of sherlock. f***ing amazing. If you haven't watched it, you should! I assume this is the British version? Ive been watching the US one, and its been solid.

You are martyring yourself on an internet message board, perhaps you should also not take things so seriously.

The Minnesota-Wisconsin game was pretty odd the last few minutes. Ill take the win but not a pretty game.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 05:20 PM) Promise ring might be the dumbest thing ever. Should have tipped you off to run the other way. lol I did get an ipod out of it, but yeah it was pretty ridiculous. I was young, maybe 22, living with a girl. Not sure what I was thinking.

Give us more specifics, dont make me go to Aimes and make you tell us. I actually may be going there for something called Viesa. So these are not idle threats.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 04:41 PM) If I get suspended from this so be it. I never break rules in this forum. I merely have opinions that piss Reddy off a lot and instead of actually responding to them he calls me "DISGUSTING" or "AWFUL" then begs for mods to ban me. I will say this though, you all need to toughen up. There are a lot of bad words out there and I firmly believe best way to neuter their intent is not to try and ban them (BAN CULTURE BAN BAN BAN) or search for ways to let them offend you, but let their colloquial use relegate them to innocent common speech. We may not always agree, but I actually agree with this. Ive never been suspended, Im not even sure Ive been warned. But I would never ask anyone to be suspended no matter what they said to me, no matter how much they stalk me. I would rather just be able to settle the score, but that goes back to, violence begets violence. I also agree that it makes no sense to ban swear words etc, because in reality I can probably say meaner things that involve no swears.

Oh I know. Ive grown up around the nonsense that is showing off fancy jewelry as a status symbol. Im not even sure many people could tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamonds with the naked eye. Ironically cz is almost always colorless. Back in the days of my youth I had a long term gf who wanted a "promise ring". I got her cz, boy did I never hear the end of that.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) For the record, the entire thing is bulls***. That is all. No its a good way to show ownership of your property. Much like a brand on a steer, an engagement ring is a way of showing other guys that "This property is mine."

Well only girls eat vegetables that is a fact.

Good enough deterrent Rock, should scare away most of the creepers. I am a fan of the diamonds on the band, especially in a white gold/platinum setting (not sure which that is based on the picture). For whatever reason I just am not a real gold fan.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) Well, I wear a banana hammock while doing it, because I like my junk firm in one spot, but I hate jock straps. And then I stuff a sock down there too. A very long tube sock. Really enunciates the whole idea. You have really been on point lately. Ugliest NFL Super Bowl Qbs, how to stuff your pants to make the girls think youve got a massive penis. I think you should consider becoming the "Dear Abby" for men, because there are a lot of guys who can benefit from your insight.

Diamond band is a little different than having 2 smaller diamonds around the main diamond. The small diamonds on the band just give it a shimmer, they dont really impose on the main diamond. I think the best comment is that you should love what you are getting, because this is hopefully going to be around for a long time. Also if you love it, hopefully your lady does.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 04:00 PM) If and when I do yoga, I am also going to wear yoga pants. I feel like it will really show off my package. You better stuff that s*** just in case.

I think single settings have a nice classy look. Its really hard to go wrong.

I go out of my way not to comment about Indiana or Crean. And Ill continue to do that, but if people make nonsense comments about Wisconsin, Ill respond back. I think that is pretty fair, and I think most people would do the same for their school.

This goes way back to an argument about Crean. Ever since then he has made comment after comment about Wisconsin. You can say Wisconsin is physical. But its a joke to state that Wisconsin is so physical and aggressive that you are legitimately concerned about your players well being, so much so that you do not even care if you win or lose the game. How can you defend that? It is nothing more than sour grapes. Its just tiresome. And its pretty unnecessary. Its not like I run around saying Wisconsin is the best team that has ever played in NCAA. I was predicting Indiana to beat them by double digits.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 10:48 AM) Yes Those articles are not written by trademark lawyers. If you want to see for yourself, http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess...4008:ehe35y.1.1 Go to "Basic Word Mark Search" Search Term: "tebowing" You will get 10 results. Live results are those that are active, dead results are those that the TM office has declined (for whatever reason.) You will notice that every live result is in connection with either a good or service. But that none of those services are merely "going down on a knee" that is not a service or good.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 10:47 AM) wasnt the Tebow trademarked? Once again I think it is the article incorrectly stating what is going on.

Im not sure you can trademark a move. He can trademark the image on a t-shirt or the name. Im thinking the move itself would have to be a copyright.

This isnt about Virginia. As soon as one state does it, every other state will feel that they are within their rights to do it. Most people understand that stacking the deck against an opponent who can also stack the deck does nothing except for create widespread cheating.
