  1. 1. She files a T&L Advance request, gets a company check, deposits it. 2. Goes on trip, pays for all expenses with company credit card including any necessary purchases such "replacement laptops" and "tailoring"; keeps all receipts. 3. Files Expense Reimbursement report using all expenses' receipts, gets company check, deposits it. Profit. If she's not following the plan, you need to mansplain it to her.
  2. we Awesome... except that the 'splosion is with DIET Coke, not regular.
  3. Prepare to be shocked, then. We don't need to run Arch against those in order to seal a Win... but we damned sure need to practice and to show the ability. It's all well and good to have a QB with zero run threat... when you've got a RB or two of Bijan or uninjured Brooks abilities. We didn't have that last season, or in the CFP previous. Whether we have that in the upcoming season - and CFP - remains to be seen. Having both that sort of hero RB and a running threat at QB... that, I firmly believe, will propel us to the pinnacle. Gonna be a fun ride.
  4. Nah. The QB run threat has to be real. Regardless of opponent, when they fail to cover it, you run or at least option it to the pitch/pop guys left uncovered.
  5. What are the odds you'd see the same EMTs three times in a row?

    Getting old sucks

    Interestingly, the 18-year-old not only does not age for the next twenty years, he continues to wonder that same thing, he does so nearly every time he sees his reflection in mirrors and other shiny surfaces.
  7. If things had been different, then they wouldn't be the same.
  8. Carriers or no, if Yamamoto had the sense to take out the fuel tanks, the Pacific war likely would have been quite different.
  9. "Canadian" means a can a day? That's it? A can a day? I don't fucking think so. But thanks, anyway.
  10. Scrambles will be part of it, certainly. I'm not looking for a "package" so much as adding a run element to the tried-and-true plays. A couple of runs a quarter is one out of about every eight plays total. Ending the run with a slide or a step out of bounds needs to be drilled into Arch's head.
  11. When you wade through just a bit of the aggyness, you can often find new material for the books of Surly Motto, Surly Bands, and/or Surlyisms. Today's item is "head over heals". It fits all three volumes. There are probably more, but I'm heading on over to the Baseball Forum to check on the Earley birds.
  12. Not to Ehlinger extremes, but I think there has to be enough QB run game to make play action an effective threat, and the horizontal game has to have a pitch-pop-run option with QB keeping enough to spread the D wide. Both ways, the QB run absolutely needs to happen at least a couple of times a quarter to keep it fresh in the Ds' minds. I would think, with Sark's gift - and love - for misdirection, we'll see some formations with no real possibility of the QB running... and he'll run. I think Herman called it "go fuck yourself", but Sark is classier than that, and will probably call it "DAMMIT!"
  13. There's a documentary on him (her?), or an apparent relative, part of an entire family. Oddly enugh, they're circus performers, acrobatics. Years ago, I saw one of them being displayed on the Midway at the State Fair - JoJo the Dog-faced Boy.
  14. New word day... Womanswer Asked Miz Long, "hey, gotta bag of trash, shall I take out the kitchen garbage?" "Not right now. You know, if..." "Hold it, darlin' - I'ma take that as a No, I'll check later, I'm cleaning up some..." "You never let me finish! I just wanted to tell you..." "Naw, babe. I don't need to know why, I get it." "You asshole! You're alway mansplaining stuff, and ..." "Waitaminnit. That's exactly what you're doing right now. But you're a woman, so we gotta call it something else. I got it! You're giving me a womanswer!"
  15. Both wrong. The glass is twice as large as is needed. Maths confuse so much.
  16. He had a few runs where he was left so unaccounted for that with all the receivers covered and all the rushers handled he "scrambled" for twenty or so. None of those were designed runs, though. Arch is going to have to be spied, and that opens up a receiver or a running back, every. single. play. I'm still puzzled that we didn't put Arch in any time we got to the ten. Still, 13-3 ain't all that bad a season, and we were the only repeat final four, and we are seriously likely to do it again. We should all be gruntled about our situation.
  17. Three southpaws pitching starters is a scary thought for opponents. I think I approve this approach to the season...
  18. Went to see the Doc this morning. He asked me what seems to be the problem? I told him I noticed Miz Long and I don't seem to be enjoying sex as much as we used to do. He said "Jesus, Tex! How old are you now?" I said "I'm 81, and she's 74." He laughed, and said "Yeah, okay, so when did you first notice this?" I said "Well, the first time was last night, but then twice again earlier this morning."
  19. Seemed to me like he looked at 0 first before turning to Sawyer.
  20. I keep seeing that 4th down strip, scoop, 'n' score by Sawyer as a result of the RT (Williams, was it?) brainless "block" allowing Sawyer to blow right by him... That one play makes me think the OL is likely not any worse for '25. Thinking the mere threat of Arch's legs demanding defensive attention absolutely requires one defender not on a receiver or runner. This must certainly be a boost for our offense. Any play that sees Arch heading right instead of dropping back suddenly adds an "ohhhhhh, shit" moment to damn near every defender. One or two of those ZR or at least ZR-looking plays is gonna lay their D's wide open. A couple of Arch runs, a couple of pops, a couple of pitches... damn... Profit. I see it coming.

    I have to admit that I hit a sugar low every once in a while (not more than once or twice in a period of several weeks), pretty much always because I have a couple of cups of black coffee for breakfast and nothing to eat and then skip over or put off dinner/lunch. My physical response is just shakiness, which so far is a warning to me. Having lived with a needle-shooting diabetic many years ago, I have a standard response to that of hitting a couple big spoons of honey and glugging fruit juice if available, and preparing a meal immediately. I also try to keep some packets of honey in my vehicles' glove boxes in case I hit that wall while traveling. I can't recommend strongly enough to AB and all of y'all, to keep some of those honey packets in the car.
