holy shit -- i don't have school monday and tuesday. still no power and my town isn't on the list for getting work done in the next three days.luckily, my parents have heat and power, so my family is staying here tonight, but i will camp at our house in highland park with the dog.
Not enough is being made of that Panthers touchdown. The ref blew the whistle and waved his arms. Skins players stopped. Apparently play can continue afterwards? Total bullshit.
Finally, RGIII is starting to get what Redskins football is all about. Last couple of games he's lowered his game toward the rest of the crapbirds around him.
Running theme of the power outages: dads letting wives take kids to her parents and staying home alone in cold to"keep an eye on things" instead do dealing w/ in-laws for multiple days. I know three guys in town who've done this. Not including Mr. Truck.
According to the Internet (which is always right), tonight's Triple D episode:
This trip, Guy's grubbin' at some popular hangouts. In St. Louis, the classic British pub cooking up gourmet grilled cheese and a porchetta masterpiece. In Kill Devil Hills, N.C., the brewing station serving righteous shrimp and grits alongside craft made beers. And in Cranston, R.I., the corner spot dishin' out the pasta loaded with little neck clams.
Lunch # 1: Thai peanut glazed local yellowfin tuna sandwich topped with a golden-pineapple salsa. Served with chips and salsa. $10
Lunch #2: Crispy cornmeal fried oyster sandwich with lemon-caper remoulade and served with french fries. $10
Lunch #3: Jump lump crab quesadilla stuffed with jack and cheddar cheeses, roasted onions and peppers, shoepeg corn, and our honey habanero bbq sauce. Served with salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos. $11.50
geoff - if you were given the chance to make another prediction on tomorrow, would it differ from your original? rob? mine would differ - i'd have to change from the stormin mormon to barry.
apologies rob, but refresh me memory - your race is where this wkd?
i got on the bike yesterday for first time post-snip and proceeded to get 2 flats (tires, not balls) within 4 miles of my house at which point i walked halfway home in bare feet before getting picked up by a neighbor.
Danimal...I still only see two outcomes tomorrow...close Obama win, or Romney landslide. I'm struggling to reconcile polls with reality. I've been all over VA the last 2 weeks and I will be baffled if Obama wins here. But polls today have him up from 2 to 8 points. It doesn't make sense. For example, Obama only won VA by 6 points in '08--NO ONE thinks he will do better in VA this year as opposed to '08...so the existence of polls that out of whack calls all the polls into question.
Conversely, I can see some polls being wrong...but ALL the polls being wrong seems pretty far fetched.
Gun to my head: I'd go with Obama...but if I had never seen a poll and made a prediction just on what I've seen in VA and OH, I'd say Romney in a landslide. Its two or three to one Romney yard sings/bumper stickers in both states.
It seems like the tv ads for Romney have become less and less frequent here in the Northern Commonwealth. I thought that was a negative indicator, if anything, of the challenger's thoughts on his prospects.
and speaking of ads, am not sure if it is this bad in virginia, but we get somewhere between 3-5 phone calls per day. i've also received 2 copies of "2016" in the mail from two different groups. i guess someone thinks i'm an undecided.
and one other interesting item i've never seen before, and this has come twice - a mailer that shows my neighbor's voting history over the last 2 elections. it doesn't show who they voted for, but only if they voted or not. and it has resulted in me bitching at the slackers about voting tomorrow - so i guess it's effective.
I get an average of 4 calls a day...and I have been volunteering for Romney since February, voted in every GOP primary since I turned 18 and worked in the Bush Administration. They call everyone. A lot.
Bottom line tomorrow: If under 30 voters turn out at '08 levels, Obama wins. If they fall off significantly, the polls will be wrong.
Watch VA in the returns. Polls close at 7. If its called for Romney by 9:30 or so, big night for GOP. If its too close to call or goes Obama, game over.
So now you know that Coachman started as a WWE announcer.
I've not gotten a single political phone call and I've voted in every election since I turned 18. I don't have a home phone though. I'm guessing that's the reason.
Improbably, a guy I went to high school with is the Democratic nominee for NJ's 5th Congressional district. I say improbably because he's very stupid. You want proof? He has a typo on his website in the section where he spells out the importance of education. Elsewhere he repeatedly spells his own name wrong.
that first pic puts a whole new spin on chasing tail.
ReplyDeleteKate Moss - now bonier than ever.

ReplyDeleteNFL has got to bring back the real refs. This is getting out of hand.

ReplyDeletemonday, 10:00 pm, triple d features tortugas lie.
ReplyDeletetriple d? i don't think of tortuga's when you say that.
ReplyDeletelaughable effort by the skins
ReplyDeletemy source tells me the outer banks brew station also featured on that episode.
ReplyDeletedave, triple d stands for drinking, dining, degenerates.
One of Obama's folks just called to offer me a ride to my polling place. I'm major.
ReplyDeleteReferees having a banner fucking weekend.
ReplyDeletethat giants touchdown was some bullshit
ReplyDeleteI love you, Doug Martin.
ReplyDeleteChuck Pagano's locker room speech was impressive.
ReplyDeleteDougMartinDougMartinDougMartin.
ReplyDeleteDoug Martin: TDs run of 45, 67 & 70 yards today. 244 yards so far today. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteRunning theme of the power outages: dads letting wives take kids to her parents and staying home alone in cold to"keep an eye on things" instead do dealing w/ in-laws for multiple days. I know three guys in town who've done this. Not including Mr. Truck.
ReplyDeleteSeems like an even trade off.
ReplyDeletevery disappointed that the giants couldn't pull off an inspirational hurricane victory, despite the sympathy of the referees.
ReplyDeletemy children need to go back to school, or there is going to be several more hurricane related injuries in new jersey.

ReplyDeleteI had to google him.
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, I'm watching MNF in a Buffalo Bills bar. In Norfolk, VA.

Christie is milking this hurricane as an excuse to touch a lot of women.
ReplyDeleteAfter a 15-hour work day in my home bunker, I am enjoying whiskey #3. Working from home (and not having to commute) has its benefits.

ReplyDeleteLance Moore has an eyeblack sticker under one eye? How does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the other one fell off. Or it's a tribute to Lisa "One Eye" Lopez. Are you WFH all week? That's my plan.
