Well the snake was probably keeping your millipede population in check. Once you remove the top predator you're going to have an explosion of centipedes, millipedes and other creepy crawlies. You might want to stock even more snakes.

139.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

Or stock ferrets and weasels. These will help with the snake population. You just need to achieve a biological balance really.

140.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

If you let one or two coyotes down there, you can keep the ferret and weasel population from going crazy. But then again, you've got all the noise at sunrise and sunset. When do you typically go to bed CE?

141.) crookedeye - 02/08/2016

lol.. that is a ture story about the snake though.. i can try and try to keep the bugs out of there...i buytraps and sprays..i dont even think its safe for me to go down there breathing in all the fumes from the sprays i got down there..they just keep coming!

the bug spray is like a feed for them..

144.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

Maybe you got the pheromone spray instead of the insecticide. The problem is both of them are on the same shelf. The packaging is almost the same.

The pheromone spray is like the Axe spray for men. It will increase the population.

I actually sat through the halftime, mostly because I was working on a big bowl of gumbo at the time and couldn't do anything else. The thing that stood out to me was the coordination in presentation and video. It seemed seamless. Petty amazing accomplishment with three separate acts, somewhat diverse.

Coldplay was Coldplay, Bruno Mars has more talent in his little finger than that whole band combined, and Beyoncé was typical Beyoncé. (Did you know that this forum knows to put the little accent mark on Beyoncé's name automagically? I sure didn't do it myself, LOL

I think Christie has hit the limit as far as the tough guy thing goes. I believe he's worn it out in the last couple of debates, even if people haven't paid attention to him in the past to see all the previous obnoxiousness.

It's not like I never enjoyed seeing him tell someone to sit down and shut up, but now that he's struggling to maintain a seat at the table rather than battling ideological opponents, his Republican and Independent compatriots shouldn't take any chest bumping from him. He has plenty of problems they can throw back at him, if they want.

His "governor and prosecutor" act has gotten old, too, as has the "the American people don't want to hear about all of this" bit, when other candidates are debating a point that leaves him out.

I have lots of other problems with Christie (not the least that he misrepresents his record and his positions pretty baldly), but my point is that I don't think he has much mileage left to him after New Hampshire. I doubt he will do very well in SC.

174.) crookedeye - 02/08/2016

I neglected to make this point the other day: For Christie to go after Rubio for being scripted and having canned responses is pretty laughable. Christie has a big ol' grocery bag full of his own: prosecutor, governor, 9/11, wife worked near the Twin Towers, Democratic legislature, what the American people want, blah blah blah.

If you got Christie in your drinking game, you'd be passed out or at least want a nap pretty badly within half an hour.

I guess he thinks Rubio is his biggest hurdle for the "electability" lane. Christie's not conservative enough to be going after him for the conservative lane. Maybe he thinks he is, but he's deluded if that's the way his mind works.

I suppose he has dismissed Kasich out of hand and done nearly the same with Jeb, although I think that's foolish. I don't think Jeb's dead yet (in the same way I don't think Hillary will avoid indictment).

But to Christie, perhaps, Rubio is the one he has to knock down. He can deal with Jeb later, if he has to. Makes a certain amount of sense.

I think he's been leading for a while. This is a small poll, but seems to be what everyone's pointing to:



[I]Trump commands 30 percent support from likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire, the poll found. John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz were virtually tied for second place, with 14 percent support for Kasich, 13 percent each for Rubio and Bush and 12 percent for Cruz.

[B]Other candidates were far behind. Chris Christie had 6 percent support[/B], Carly Fiorina had 5 percent and Ben Carson had 4 percent.

On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders led Hillary Clinton by 10 points, with 52 percent support for Sanders and 42 percent for Clinton.

Yeah, for a guy who's not shy about throwing his body around, that's mystifying.

Here's one of the other big stories. It touches on the "catch vs. incomplete" we were talking about yesterday, as well as the lateral vs. backward pass from the Broncos/Pats game. Tough times to be Mike Carey, lol.

Really, though, I've been yelling about trying to return some common sense to the catch and fumble scenarios for several years. I really hope they sit down this spring and find some sanity somehow.

I remember when that happened and I wondered why he recoiled like that. At least he took the loss graciously. :td:

202.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

About the catch...from what I remember, the ball did touch the ground but at the same time he had control, which is fine. The ball can actually touch the ground if it is under control. He had the ball securely. I thought it was a catch. I'd have to see it again.

203.) DParker - 02/08/2016

204.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

:grin:

205.) Swamp Fox - 02/08/2016

So far, I can't find any decent video of the play, replays or audio of the commentary. But this is worth a peek.





Mike P's job is to analyze the plays according to the rules in place, which is why I have such a problem with him sometimes. He never seems to comment (on air during the game) about what rules make any sense and which don't, etc., and of course the booth guys hardly ever say anything, either.

It would be nice to hear more commentary about the rules where there are issues, but sometimes it seems like the NFL has a gag order out on the booth. I think if a rule is stupid, clearly goes against common sense, or is hopelessly arbitrary or hard to interpret or enforce, somebody should be saying something about it on the air.

Also, as far as Mike Carey goes, I've seen comments from his bosses that give me the impression they want him to analyze "as if he were making the call," which is a little weird, because that could be different from what the crazy rules say. Do they really mean that? Or do they mean "as if he were making the call according to his understanding of the rules"?

I know I make a lot of calls that don't conform with the current rules, but that's because I don't agree with the current rules, not always because I don't understand them...LOL.

It would be fun to go back and take a bunch of plays and see how a fan would have called them vs. the zebras vs. the booth.

206.) Swamp Fox - 02/08/2016

I called it an incomplete because I didn't think he had control, or because he at least used the ground to control, and to my way of thinking that's not a catch. But I have notoriously different definitions of what catches, incompletes and fumbles are from what's being called on the field these days. You can't teach me differently, either. :wink

207.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

I'm looking at the frame and to me it looks under control/secured. It doesn't matter if it hits the ground as long as it is secure (nose of ball direction doesn't change as a result of it hitting the ground). We can argue about this until Hillary goes to prison but I think/thought it was a catch.

208.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

I can be bought though.

209.) bluecat - 02/08/2016

Say a 3-pack of Montecs and I'll tell you he was out of bounds too.

210.) Swamp Fox - 02/08/2016

I'll keep my eye out for good video (there has to be some coming) but if you just look at that still above, I think that's where it's hitting the ground and begins to move (eventually rolling over his hip, etc.). You're right that hitting the ground doesn't make the difference, but clearly the ball moved as the play was being completed, and so--based on my understanding of the current rules---[I][U]everything considered[/U][/I], it's incomplete.

I don't really recall all the history of how all this got so confusing, but the NFL should just stop already.

Require control of the ball all the way to the ground, and control upon hitting the ground, without using the ground for control. It really is as simple as that.

If a receiver or runner receives the ball, has full possession of it--however briefly--and then drops it for any reason, that's a freakin' fumble. I don't care if he did or didn't bobble the ball before full possession, lost it when he got hit, lost it after impact with the ground, or lost it because he pooped his pants when he saw the DB was gonna plow him---It's still a fumble. Yes, the ground CAN cause a fumble, and this nonsense of calling an incomplete where the player catches the ball, turns to run and even takes a couple of steps before dropping the rock also has got to stop.


And that's all I got to say about THAT! :-)

211.) crookedeye - 02/08/2016

back when i played 3rd base and how i analyzed the play being experience.. that was for sure an incomplete pass..
