I know you've mentioned this before, but what so special about Pistachios from Iran?

because thats where they originally come from and where they grow the best.

Do they have a more natural growing procedure than the efficient harvesting and sophisticated growing techniques that are used in the US which leads to a tastier pistachio?

Just had my draft pick selection "show" for my at home fantasy football league with friends, which has a $200 buy in. Been going for 4 seasons now, I've won twice... you get a trophy, etc, winner takes all.

Ended up getting the 10th (out of 10) pick in a .5 ppr league. Can't say I'm mad.

If she's ugly, it's art...

Edit: Actually, I wrote this prior to actually viewing the link... BEING nude is not art...

Painting or photographing nudes can be. Thus my joke.

I'm guessing her performance art involves a chrome pole.

I listen to The Herd on the drive to work in the mornings just for his Spaning the Globe segment so I can get all the news before opening a webpage but man, the commercials on ESPN radio are depressing. Who wants to wake up to divorce attorneys, tax advocates and DWI laywers?

ak7 · Post #1080 » by **ak7** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 4:40 pm

that's pretty much America in a nutshell. people needing divorce attorneys, tax advocates and dwi lawyers.
