Hey Biff I’m glad you’re back (seriously).

“Eagles will whip the Giants asses again. Just like last time.”

Giants Defending Super Bowl Champions. Eagles missed playoffs.

When was that Dave?

Oh while I’m here the Unemployment Phone hotlines are crashing because of the overwhelming amounts of people being laid off.

Here this is something to suck down.

U.S. Economy: Companies Cut Payrolls at Faster Pace

Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) — Reports issued two days before the release of U.S. jobless data showed private employers cut payrolls at a faster pace in December, threatening to send the unemployment rate to levels unseen in a quarter century.

25 years ago Asshat Hill was a very very bad place..

Companies cut an estimated 693,000 jobs in December, the most since ADP Employer Services began its gauge based on payroll data in 2001. Chicago-based Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. said firings announced by U.S. employers rose 275 percent last month from December 2007, to 166,348.

Lets see- if my tenant get laid off the who is going to help me with my mortgage payment?? Ohh man..

Joel Prakken, chairman of Macroeconomic Advisers LLC, said in a conference call that about 2 million more jobs will be lost in 2009, for a total of more than 4 million in the recession.

“In the last several months, the job losses have spread very aggressively into the services economy,” he said.

What??!! We cannot sell pieces of paper to one another??? There goes that “Service Economy” crap. Hold on to your nut sacks 2009 is going to be rough, right Dave?

The What

Someday this war is gonna end..

Divisional playoff weekend is one of the best, especially since the college championship is the same week usually. the conference championships are my personal favorites, though – the bachelor/bachelorette parties before the Big Day.

wasder, thanks for the update. I recall someone once posting here that if you did a search on buyer’s remorse, you would have a million hits. I’m glad you’re one of those who feels just as happy, if not more, after your purchase than you did before it.

Rob, I had to look up some other memorable quotes from Heathers. Here are a few favorites:

* Grow up Heather, bulimia is so ’87.
* If you were happy every day of your life, you wouldn’t be a human being; you’d be a game show host.
* I love my dead, gay son.

Let’s take a look at some of the homosexual artifacts I dug up to plant at the scene. Alright, got an issue of Stud Puppy . . .
Veronica Sawyer: Great.
Jason “J.D.” Dean: . . . a candy dish, Joan Crawford postcard, got, let’s see, some mascara. Alright, now here’s the one perfecto thing I picked up: mineral water.
Veronica Sawyer: Oh, come on, a lot of people drink mineral water. It’s come a long way.
Jason “J.D.” Dean: Yeah, but this is Ohio. I mean, if you don’t have a brewski in your hand, you might as well be wearing a dress.

Veronica Sawyer: This may seem like a really stupid question.
Jason “J.D.” Dean: There are no stupid questions.
Veronica Sawyer: You inherit five million dollars the same day aliens land on the Earth and say they’re going to blow it up in two days. What do you do?
Jason “J.D.” Dean: That’s the stupidest question I’ve ever heard.

Veronica Sawyer: I’m gonna have to send my S.A.T. scores to San Quentin instead of Stanford.

Veronica Sawyer: I can’t believe it. I just killed my best friend.
Jason “J.D.” Dean: And, your worst enemy.
Veronica Sawyer: Same difference.

Veronica Sawyer: Heather told me she teaches people real life. She said, “Real life sucks losers dry. If you wanna fu** with the eagles, you have to learn to fly.” I said, “So, you teach people how to spread their wings and fly?” She said, “Yes.” I said, “You’re beautiful.”

Yeah, I used to bring home one of the neighbor boys and we’d “fool around” together.
