There's no signal on the bridge and the call doesn't go through. So then the guy tells me to call 911 because he's going to throw himself off the bridge. Then he climbs over the rail and fastens his belt around it and sits and waits for the cops to get there.
Once the cops got there I took off so I don't know how it turned out. Dude was smiling the whole time so ... it was weird.
Was it bad that I took off?

Yeah, sorry to bother you. I had read a rumor this morning about Ernie being extended.

I'm thinking a Saturday night RealGM Wizboard dance off. Imagine Monte popping his booty to this track. Nate33 comes in moonwalking while Nivek types away at his matlab code.

3 in the morning at the Wizboard house
4 in the morning we'll be rolling to nate's house
5 in the morning the lights go out
6 in the morning you can hear monte start to shout
7 in the morning Nivek calling a cab
8 in the morning talking bout the fun he had
9 in the morning EG making a trade
talkin bout the overnight scenario, sce-nar-ee-oh

Meanwhile he probably lives like a king. What a country.

Surprising how much money you can lose leveraging bad investments. Dude is a singer, not a financial manager, I imagine he has hired some pretty idiotic investment advisors.

Just horrible.

Prince William police officer Ashley Guindon was killed in the line of duty on her first day of duty. She was just sworn in yesterday. That just sucks.

She was shot while responding to a domestic disturbance call near Woodbridge.

Rest in peace, Officer Guindon.

I'm not sure how things like that happen. RIP, Officer Guindon and condolences to her family, friends, and co-workers.

Culture of violence.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

Initial reports of the Aubrey McClendon death in a one car crash seem to imply the possibility that it was a suicide. More to come.

Who the hell commits suicide in a car crash? Unless you drive a 1912 Model T into a brick wall.

Reportedly at least 10 teams are interested in our RG3, I'd love to see him make a comeback.

I love that cbs and ncaa got twitter burned when their beloved bracket was released via twitter.

Is Charles Barkley brain damaged?
I can deal with the southern draw and poor grammar, but the things he says are just unintelligent and of no use in anyway, shape or form.

Why do TNT, TBS & CBS think he is enjoyable to hear, he is verbal nails on a chalkboard.

I love the disapproving/surprised looks he gets from kenny smith and Shaq when he says something he believes is controversial and he just sounds somewhat ignorant and uninformed. Its as if he ran his thoughts by no one. It is all impromptu.
I either mute, fastforward or turn channel when I see that rotund cranium spewing nonsense.

The one where all kickoff touch backs come to the 25-yard line is going to be counterproductive, IMO.

Now, teams are going to try to shorten the kickoffs to about the 5-yrd line to force a short return. The coverage will be swift and the collisions around the 10-15 yard line are going to be more violent than ever.

Teams are going to bank on kick coverage pinning opponents inside the 25. They will suffer MORE injuries on kickoffs, not less, IMO.

What do you think, Ruz?
