Did you know that about a half dozen of the 6 Flags parks are up for sale? It seems that he doesn't know any more about running them than he does a football team. Anyone who lives here knew it was a bad idea. We live anout 45 minutes from the park and yet we go to Busch Gardens or King's Dominion.

Trust me. Here in D.C. we love our Redskins but we can't abide that ostentatious little twerp. When you get a bunch of us fans together the only thing we'll all agree on is how much we hate Snyder.

Maybe South Park can do a show on him. It'll be the only enjoyment we'll all get from the man, himself.

"My husband, born and bred in the South, fries Spam. Yuck. I told him once that he did not like any vegetables. He said, yes, he did: fried potatoes, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, fried corn. '

Hi Brillke,
My sister's husband wouldn't eat anything unless it was fried. Preferably deep-fat fried. Even dessert. Yuck!

Save me some of those fried green tomatoes! Love the dish, love the movie, love the book most of all. I'm posting and cooking right now,

**Actually SisterZip, I'll jump into this with a guess that dcjewbear might agree with what I'm going to say. I think that being a DC-area baseball fan might top your St. Louis football sob story. We lost two pathetic baseball teams within a decade, had to wait 25 years to get a replacement, and then were so desperate that we were overjoyed to get the Montreal Expos, truly one of the absolute worst teams of modern-day baseball.

But at least we finally have a local team again, so we love them, no matter how bad they are. **

Back during the 2nd Senators incarnation a friend's father worked for Bekins and they had a box right behind the home dugout. I saw almost every game they played at home. I even got into the clubhouse where I met the great Ted Williams. It's been said that Ted was aloof but he couldn't have been more gracious to this 12 year old. He signed my program and I still have it. That was a good day.

I don't think the Nationals are so awful, really. They have a talented group of position players They just have no pitching, but then who does in the National league.

I do have to say that their first baseman, Nick Johnson, besides being a wonderful player, is one hot [expletive deleted]. I would do him in a heart beat. He's also a real sweetheart. I got his autograph as well. Is it juvenile for a damn near 50 year old man to fawn over a handsome ballplayer? Oh well.

you if you even think of leaving litter or SMOKING in my car. I can't deal with it at all. This is coming from a man who once had a 4 pack a day habit! LOL

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

How did you do it? I'm almost up to 2 packs a day and can't seem to kick it. I'm good for 3 weeks, 3 months, and once even 7 years, but I keep going back! UGH!

Ya know, The Everyday Women epi is starting again and the more I think about it the madder I get. Those poor women were humilated in front of millions of people. Someone who may be body conscience had to have their measurements taken by strangers ON TV. They had to do the
runway walk no matter if they were not feeling well or embarassed. Wouldnt you think they would at the least give these women makeovers? I hated Kaynes moms hair. Why not give them a spa day? They said they were there for four days. There was time. Bravo really messed this one up. Cant believe I liked this epi at first.

Shoot, nothing beats being a fan of the former St. Louis Football Cardinals (now in AZ). During the mid 70s, the Cardiac Cards were fun to watch, but because of Billy Boy Bidwell, we just didn't have enough talent to complete the mission. We then went 10 years without football. Even though I wasn't all that thrilled to have the Rams here, after 5 years we were finally rewarded. But it has been a long frustrating journey.

Just jumping in to lazy to go back to the board thing

First of all good morning everyone, how are you all?

OT

Now for my friend who is in the nations capital and says they love their football team.

I live in Dallas but am not a native, I love my Packers, thru thick and thin. Now loving Packers in the Dallas Fort Worth area is dangerous to your health. If you think you hate the Cowboys let me tell you how they, DFW fans, feel about the Redskins. "They are the lowest of the low. They don't know what a football is. They think the Redskins need to get a life." Yes the Cowboys are located for now in Irving but will soon have a wonderful new statium in Arlington. They are located between Dallas and Fort Worth, just as most things are, the baseball park, the airport, etc. This is because it is faster for a quick exit and return to their homes. What's the big deal? Now football in Texas, no matter if it is grammer school, high school or college is right up their with going to church. They are crazed. Since I got out of college, I have returned to only one college football game, not here in Texas, they go back all the time. Most individuals own seasons tickets to the alma mater football games. TCU, Southern Methodist, Texas and Texas A and M to name a few. There is a game played here in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas called the Red River Shoot Out. It is between Texas at Austin and Oklahoma in Norman. Let me tell you what that is like. Many go to the game, Oklahoma invades Dallas and the shoot out is on. (I stay home and pray the city is still standing after the weekend is over) The game this year will be on the 10 of October. The ticket sale prices are astounding. Range for $125 to almost $2000 a piece. Let me tell you the most expensive tickets go first around here.
When the Redskins come to town, if and when they do or can show their faces here, the area goes into their hate mode. According to the natives, the Redskins are the scourge of the earth and can not fight their way out of a paper bag. Yes the Redskins win a few but that is quickly forgotten because they say the Cowboys let them win. I personally do not see what the big deal is with the Cowboys and Redskins. I was born in the area of the black and blue division, that is where it is at.

Yes, the Bidwells did the same thing to the Chicago Cardinals...held em up and when it didn't work, off the St. Louis. We should have worked a deal like the Browns did...keep the team name (Browns, cardinals, whatever). Then we would still have the Redbirds (baseball) and the Big Red (footfall). I don't know that there was a more hated man in St. Louis than Bill Bidwell. And the reason we didn't get a team for so long was because the Ol Boys Network of owners sided with him. Thats why it took a female owner to get a team here. And it looks as though Billy Boy is up to his old tricks in Arizona. Better their problem that ours.
======================
There is a reason I did not comment on the "Bill Bidwell." I have nothing nice to say about him. He was an owner of the old school like the other one who owned and coached the Bears. They wanted it all, as I remember it wasn't until after he was dead that the Bears stopped playing at Wrigley Field and went on to play at Soldier's Field. He felt he would have had to pay way too much in rent for the Soldier's Field. Like I said they both were of the old school, they were in the same class as Chuck Cominsky of the twenties. They all wanted to own the fields they played in so they could get a portion of the parking, food and liqour, just anything that was sold or vended during the games. It was MONEY that moved them.

The funny thing is I don't like anything about smoking and still can't seem to stop. Smoking in our house is restricted to the sun porch and basement office.

Excellent ideas! I'm going to try both--especially the one with the jar cuz the smell thing is big with me.
