    Haven't had this much snow here in quite a while. System has been circling Charlotte today. Still coming down but tapering off. Have been hearing some limbs snapping every once in a while. Power has flickered off twice.

    Unfortunately, reports say there has been two fatalities associated with it. One from a falling limb and the other a motoring accident.

    Otherwise it has been very pretty to watch.

    2013-14 NFL Season Thread

    A facemask by a quarterback on a pass rusher? :eh:

    In the Niner game? Didn't see it.

    Yeah it was Kap, the Pansies didn't enforce it though they took the sack. And the end result was one of the 46 Niners punts in the game.

    A great win for the Panthers. Best team (altho 9ers have some injured players) they have beat this year. Great game again for our defense. Panthers may have the best defensive front 4 in football. FB Tolbert, (man he was a good acquisition!) gets game ball for recovering Stewart's fumble at end of game.

    The division is looking more winnable by the minute.

    Could the Dolphins be at the beginning of a 16-0 season? :codger: <<< Shula

    8-8 might win it.

    What about the Bills though they've Manuel and a few pieces?

    Well let the Bull shit begin.

    Ref just stole one from the Panthers. 2nd game of the year, so we were due. Pass interference. BS. :rage:

    The greatest weapon that we possess is unconditional love. With it you can not be defeated. With it you can conquer anything or any one. Those who oppose you will try their best to make you lay it down. Do not do it. It is the Ultimate weapon. ;)

    Well that's Boon. And these are his adventures. That I know of. :LOL:

     

    So a little about Boon.

    I got Boon when he was 6 months old. His original owner was a contractor I was doing work for at the time. His dog, a female Black Lab, had been bred with a full blooded Golden Retriever. He actually pointed the father out to me one time when I was working on house that happened to be close to where the 'sire' lived. A very stately example of a canine he was. Anyway, he had already gave 'Boomer' (Boon's name before i got him) before to a lady who had decided she had got more than she bargained for. :LOL: So he asked me if I would be interested in a dog.

    I was reluctant. He was persistent. I think my job may have been in jeopardy. :LOL: He says he'll bring him over and let me take a look at him the next day. I say ok. :LOL:

    Well true to his word, he does.

    Now when he does, me and my help are painting this screened-in back porch. And we got the radio playing pretty loud. So when JC, that was the contractor's name, brings him on the porch I can't hardly hear him when we're trying to talk about whether or not I want him. So I'm about to go turn it down. It was sittin on the floor. And Boon walks over there and stiffed it. Cause he's sniffin everything. And hits the volume (a turn dial) with his nose and turns it down. Swear to God he did. So I told JC I'd take him.

     

     

     

    Yesterday I was over in the garden. And as usual Boon was with me. And as usual there's some kids playing basketball in the neighborhood that lies parallel to our property which runs the length of the neighborhood. And as usual Boon's got to go check them out.

     

    Boon spends a good deal of his time during the day in a fenced-in area adjacent to the rear of our house. On guard duty of course. And he is very diligent.

    Now these kids have to pass by boon when they go up and down the street. Coming back and forth home from school and so forth. And Boon will definitely let you know that he sees you walking by his property.

    Now there's a whole gang of these kids. Most of them are in elementary school. A couple maybe just starting middle school.

     

    But back to the story. They are over there playing basketball. Two of the girls and one of the younger boys.

    Well there is a thin patch of trees which separate the street and our property. And Boon loves to prowl around the edge of it. And the sound of their playing of course drew him to them. He doesn't bark at them this time tho he has before, but one of the girls who is scared of him happens to see him standing there and of course screams and runs off. :LOL:

    And Boon didn't bark then which is quite impressive.

    Well Boon loses interest and goes on down his path that he likes to keep tabs on. Well shortly the kids return, and I think well, I better go over there and and talk to them. So I do. And we have a nice conversation, but in a little bit Boon makes his way back to where the action is. And I tell her not to be scared. That Boon has never bitten anyone. I tell her that dogs can sense fear and it makes them nervous. They think that if you are scared something is wrong.

    But she's having trouble believing me. Now Boon's not barking but he's checkin her out. But I promise her that he want bite her, and not to be scared. .

    And she stands real straight and says, "I'm not going to be scared." She said it so matter of factly. And I was very proud of her.

     

    On a side note here's a pic of of two of the boys with their "First Big Catch" they caught today. I was proud of them too.

    Oklahoma Tornado

    The pictures are terrible. Last I heard was 4 confirmed dead. But from what I saw that could easily go higher. Praying relief gets to them quickly.

    Our local newsman said that this one took nearly the exact same path as the one in , I think 1999, that was the strongest tornado ever recorded with wind speeds est at 301mph.

    Which makes it the highest wind speeds ever recorded on earth.

    Some people will go to drastic measures so others do not notice that they have a big nose.

     

    This one made me laugh the hardest..... I had a hard time choosing though.

    Congratulations!

     

    Please accept my aplogies for the delay.....

    Thanks sundog, but I think that I am disqualified from this round because I posted eight captions when I thought I only posted seven. We will have to wait for GoaR to see what happens in this case.

    Your winning quote was your fifth one, so I think you won. I think if your eighth quote won then it'd be controversial. Then again, I haven't read the rules. :cheers:

    I was thinking that might be the case, also. The rules aren't totally clear about it. Anyhow, I will post a picture to keep things moving along and then see what GoaR decides. :cheers:

     

     

    * First, compliance with the above rules is strictly voluntary (except #6) as I am not a forum moderator, only the game scorekeeper. So I ask in the interest of keeping the game fun, flowing and with relatively little complication and confusion to comply as much as possible.

    #6 rule is no lewd, etc...
