Update: Heard this morning on the radio that charges will not be filed against the father.

The US military hands out stimulants still. In addition to high caffeine coffee or caffeine spiked gum in their rations there's also "go pills" for pilots and spec-ops soldiers. Look up dextroamphetamine and modafinil.

So I was remembering right.

Am I misremembering something? Because I recall there being a definition of Caucasian which would include peoples not considered white.

Of course, this lady and people like her don't consider Indians to be Caucasian...

The short version is that sulfur (and other) inclusions in the steel raised it's ductile-to-brittle transition temperature to a point higher than the water they were in.

Can it really be called a second Titanic if it has modern safety systems and engineering, adequate life boats and no steerage class?

Yeah, but if we take a step back, again, it's going to make for an extremely frustrating year. Or even couple of years.

Found out this week that Rackers signed with the Redskins.

I swear to fuck, the Texans are acting an awful lot like they just want to go right back to being mediocre this season.

Edit: Just "Rackers", not "our Rackers".

Assuming he's telling the truth and the doctors have given him a good prognosis, does that really count as 'delusional'?

Angus Young? He's not dead. Are you thinking of Bon Scott?

Flagg, I don't think the Saint Whitney of Houston bullshit would go away even if there had been mounds of the shit piled around her body. People have known for a while now that she was an addict.

For what little it's worth, I know three lawyers and all three had to go through serving petty tyrants when they were just starting off.

I fully support this move to a new direction for professional cheerleader auditions.

There's a little voice in the back of my head trying to scare me that he'll come here. But the rational side of my mind tells me they likely won't do that and for much the same reason they didn't go after Manning: Kubiak would have to change his system. I also think that TJ Yates might be considered...

I've said this elsewhere and I'll say it here: Ricky can have my porn when he pries it from my cold dead fingers. I had harbored some hope that the primary voters had some sanity left, but the ridiculous amount of support he's received has given lie to that delusion. To say nothing of the claim that...

Well, we cut Winston today to free up room to sign Mario.

If we don't manage it, so help me I'll... I'll...

In non-shitty news, I saw on ESPN today that we got a deal in place for Arian Foster.

From a weight perspective it's right near a container's limit, as I recall. Though if you want an idea of just how much that is, well, just look at the picture in the OP. There's probably a good portion of that behind the soldier in the picture.

Oh god... why did you have to remind us?

JACOBY! I BLAME YOU! If he could have had a couple returns, it may have made a huge difference. If you are going to blame some one though, blame that bug named Injury. I'm specifically thinking of that bonehead play he made on the first punt. That put us behind and we never recovered. I suspect we'...

JACOBY! I BLAME YOU!

That's actually pretty easy. Take whatever beer recipe you'd like and add fresh orange zest. The lighter the recipe the stronger the orange flavor for a given amount.

I actually add that to my holiday ale, along with cinnamon, a vanilla bean, nutmeg and ginger.

The football gods can kiss my ass.

I have to admit that I actually do want the Broncos to beat the Patriots, but it's total self interest. If they beat the Patriots and we beat the Ravens then the AFC Championship will be here and I'll get to watch it from the comfort of my seat in Reliant Stadium while cheering myself hoarse. I don'...
