I smiled.

I didn't even think it was such a hard kick. Tony Allen's leg was moving up and Paul's face just ran into it.

But still, ditto.

Let's hear it for two more years of ridiculous posturing jaw protrusions!

Football is doing its best to piss me off. First the Buckeyes win then Alabama losses and now the Texans are trying there best to win a game.

I hate to be this guy, but uhmm...

I don't know the first thing about American football. Beyond wikipedia, what are the equivalents of say 'the breaks of the game' or 'the natural' for this sport?

Rest in peace to Boudreaux (the dog in my avy). He was a better dog than I could have ever hoped for.

My condolences.
I'm a dog owner myself as well.
I can't imagine living without dogs.
Try to adopt or to get another dog to somewhat ease the pain of lost, that's what I did when I lost mine previously.

Thank you Mr. E

And I guess thank you Lars for that absurd troll post about Lin but only because thread got locked.

apparently Colorado may run out of marijuana tomorrow when it goes legal for recreation.

Texas needs to get its act together

If rocketsballin doesn't post again for a few months, we'll all know why.

Since it's to OT thread, I'm just amazed by the impact of cannabis in Colorado and how it's going to change the world.

Conservative estimates suggest $70 million in tax revenue for Colorado in 2014 alone.

I don't get the appeal of weed (don't get me wrong I smoked a lot in high school) but I don't think I have smoked since highschool except maybe once or twice at marley fest in Austin

I only know one person that smokes weed anymore and he's tryin to make it as a rapper in Houston so I think that is a qualification haha

What is fun about not being able to hold a conversation with the people u smoke with?

I guess I shouldn't throw stones alcohol does the same thing minus the occasional paranoia but with added hangovers

Nebula1 · Post #836 » by **Nebula1** » Thu Jan 2, 2014 5:30 pm

I'm only suggesting the topic as a business conversation. The impact of revenue across the board is dramatic and interesting.

I'm into personal choice so that's all I got on that front. I'm more fascinated by the $$$ impact of this Colorado experiment.

I'm also sick & exhausted with seeing kids go to prison over this stuff and having their lives ruined simply to keep prison occupancy up (these are often public companies with shareholders, after all).

The social and financial impact of this will truly change the world.

Amen. I'm quite surprised they were able to get past the.. barriers to this degree.
And I'll leave mine at that.

And doing a damn fine job, if it's who I think you're talking about :lol:

I tried to +1 this post twice, but I guess that we can't do that.

All this talk about too much oversight... Now I know prostitution is a victimless crime, but sometimes people should just be arrested for asking too little, and being stupid about it:
