    It makes no sense for the Liberals to build a wall when all their constituents live on the other side of it

    Jason Garrett is an idiot at the goal line in that situation you take a knee twice take away 1:30 the 2 minute warning and then score without exposing your QB to injury.

    Of all the dumbass things to bother me, this one really does:

    Unless your dad also plays for your team -and- shares your first name; there is no reason to have "Jr." or II or whatever on your jersey. Idiot.

    (This is actually the team's fault for allowing it.)

    Agreed. I think Ken Griffey, Jr., was the last pro athlete for whom that was necessary.

    I'm really old-school in that I'd rather there be only a number anyway; but that battle is long lost on most teams. But the whole Jr thing is idiotic- it's not a name it's a suffix.

    I'm waiting for some self-centered jackass to put "Sr" on his jersey after naming his kid after himself. Or even better, "Esq."

    I got to the airport 2 hrs before flight in anticipation of crazy security protocols like normal for Buffalo and .....I was the only one. Legit only one going through the line so now I guess I'll take a nap

    It's a JR thing. You wouldn't understand.


    Sorry man but Jr. IS a name. At least it is a legal name-it does not matter if the person uses it in daily life or not.

    Ok I'll try to get this all to cover my flight
    1. Check your GD luggage ppl
    2. If you are flying DO NOT bath in perfume. Remember you are used to your smell and smell blind I'm not and estee Lauder makes me gag
    3. When landing if you immediately get into the isle all that does is make ppl around you smell your well marinated as$. It's a line ppl not rocket science.
    4. DONT CLAP for a landing.
    5. If any of these confuse you....drive

    I will say that I have never been on a flight where anyone clapped. I admit that I don't fly frequently...

    But the perfume statement is spot on. And take a bath or shower! I had a guy in the row behind that smelled like he hadn't showered in a week.

    One day we will all be named 122455 or 1110001110000 anyways so Jr and Sr will cease to be.

    Have you ever fired a chronically under performing individual that is also a repugnant narcotic
    I swear women once they hit 60 can not smell anymore so they over spray themselves. I hate everyone on a plane except the stewardess that bring me drinks.

    I hate it when people clap on a landing, what do they plan on doing if the pilot crashes? booing him?

    No, but I have fired a chronically under performing individual that is also a repugnant alcoholic after verbally assaulting a client.

    I also fired a contractor who called in sick for the second day, from jail.

    People with compact cars that think they need to "swing wide" to make a turn. I mean those little cars can turn on a dime so why in the world would you cross into my lane to turn right. My next truck is going to have the largest steel bumper guard that the market has to offer.. something that makes a fool think twice before getting in front of me or crossing into my lane. Of course, it will all be in vain because how in the world would I expect anyone to notice my compact car crushing bumper when they are updating their social media instead of driving..

    My predesessor was let go for much the same reason. We were late on an order and the customer called wanting to know when the order would ship. This person's response was " how does it feel to want"? This person did not feel that this incedent warranted being fired. What a loser!
