11 weeks down, 52 more to left.

1 year and 3 hours to go until I a hold my little girl's hand in mine and we take a little walk together to meet her husband. I wonder who will be more nervous. I wonder who will be more red eyed. Time for photo grey glasses. [grin1]

I dread the day I may have to go through that.. it may take every fiber not to chase down the groom and pound a knot in his noggin.. lol.

In other words.. I am so not ready to even contemplate it yet.. lol.

Being serious.. wish you luck Wayne over the next year. Glad she has found "the one".

As for you Shawn, You will make a fantastic Tevye as you sort it all out. And you will.

I would pay money to sit and watch you struggle as you look into your daughter's eyes. *insert popcorn smilie here*

Thank god that's not the case.

When I was in high school my teacher had us call him "der Lehrer". Not that I remembered it. I had to use google translate to make sure. Being 15 year old boys, we easily got side tracked into other words and other issues. The conversation came to a quick end when someone asked what the word "Führer" meant. This was in 1972. He got pretty upset. I don't recall the kid having any ill intention, just trying to learn. The teacher said that the German people typically use the terms "Spitzenreiter" or "Oberhaupt" which made us laugh. He was not in a mood to kid around that day so we had to get back to the books. The teacher was American born so it was always confusing to me me why he would act so harshly. After thinking about it over the years I concluded he still had family living in Germany. I wish I would have had the courage to ask him. My college German instructor defected from East Germany. He would not speak about it no matter how hard we pressed him. Once toward the end of the semester he gave a brief description of his and his wife's flight. I would have loved to sit and talk to him about that for hours.

You would probably have recognized his looks or at least how he dressed if you saw him. He wore a tweed jacket with a sweater underneath it every single day. It didn’t matter how warm and humid it was that was the proper way to dress. He was not very large. I don’t think he was more than 5 foot five inches (168 cm) and about 140 pounds (65 kg) but he stood straight and made sure everything he did was proper.

I guess I got a little side tracked.

Zero2Cool (16h) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (19h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (22h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
