Where's Pyro when you need him?

That's a question nobody knows the answer to because nobody ever needed him. :D

(but yeah, where is the bastard?)

Hiding. Obviously.

Playing MFO. Obviously.

As for myself, i'm at work right now. But can't do anything. I have lots to do, which needed to be done this week. But there's some 'technical difficulties' and the person that can solve it is on holiday this week. There's been other people looking into it, but so far they haven't gotten anywhere. So why am i wasting time here when i could be running for the MFO?!

Work is also quite tiring. Compared to my holiday i now get up 4 hrs earlier! I do go to bed slightly earlier, but i guess i'm still missing like 8 to 12 hrs of sleep just on the first 4 days of work.
 
Whilst being ill ruined my last weekend at a comic vent, I did manage to make a trader chuckle when he and another customer were talking about console games. I said I know nothing about them and that "when my friend told me he was playing with his wii (wee), I thought he was taking the piss."

I then had to inform him that certain sections of comics were now into order, and that my colleagues would tell me off if they knew I'd done that.

I've visited the specialist and the verdict is in. It consists of "What you talkin bout Willis?" Other that a few minor issues there is no sign of a mass in my post-nasal space at all!!! The best guess is that because the CT is performed while lying on your back and because I'm fat, old and saggy (paraphrasing what the doctor said), all the loose flesh just sort of sloshed back and made it look like a large mass. Still doesn't fully explain the swallowing problems though, but hell, no massive tumour inside your head is always good!
 
Ummm... I was going to send a message to my fantasy league members saying that fantasy points accrued by the New England Cheaters no longer count.

This was after Gronks 2nd td, thankfully not playing against him this week.
 
I think this game is funny - there's FAR more evidence that Roethlisberger raped a twenty-year old college student in 2010 than there is that Brady was 'probably generally aware' that a handful of footballs were slightly deflated, but I keep hearing self-righteous Steeler fans shooting their mouths off. Guess it's OK, since **** doesn't give a competitive advantage.
 
Am I the only one around here that thinks football is just a bunch of overpaid jackasses throwing a ball around on a field? The thing that pisses me off the most about sports is that they are making millions of dollars to throw shit or kick shit, or what have you. How does that make sense when I have to work 50-60 hour weeks to make a fraction of that?

No one is willing to pay money to watch an account file tax returns....

Also I agree American football is kind of silly. The games good, the 2 hours they spend standing around, changing teams etc is not.
 
They generate TV ratings . . . It's not about the athleticism, sportsmanship, or anything else, it's about the TV audience. It shouldn't be thought of as a sport so much as an entertainment option. So many people watch the game, it allows the league to charge high advertisement rates, which generate cash to pay the actors / athletes. The average length of a career for an idiot who chooses to play in the NFL is slightly less than three years, and I recently saw a stat that around 70% of players declare bankruptcy within five years of leaving the league.

There are the obvious exceptions for star players, but playing in the league is a horrible deal for most players, considering the risks involved. It's a cash cow for the owners.
