I'll one up you

In Holly Jolly Christmas, the guy sings "ho, ho the mistletoe, hung where you can see. Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me."

What kind of sicko that neither me or my girl have ever met is wanting me to kiss her for him? Is he some sex pervert who gets off on stuff like that?
Watched it Sunday night. Wife would use the book every year when she was teaching 5th grade. She was impressed by how they handled the adaptation to the screen. Her only comment was that the movie focuses more on the actual Christmas story than the book.

It had us laughing. Will probably work its way into our rotation.

Great choice on the Earl Thomas Conley song.

What I'd Say was the third of four straight number ones off his Heart of the Matter album. What She Is (Is A Woman In Love), We Belive in Happy Endings (duet with Emmylou Harris), What I'd Say, and Love Out Loud.

Just went and looked at his singles discography - starting in 1983 with his Don't Make It Easy for Me album, he had 16 of 17 singles go #1, with the one that didn't peaking at #2.

Not trying to be asshoe, but how would you split that million up to retain players?

Pick one guy and give them the whole thing thing? Target 4 guys with $250k each? 10 with $100k?

At what point does that get diluted enough so that it isn't persuasive?

And the easy solution is to simply eliminate conference championships from automatic bids and just set the highest-ranked teams 1-12 as the criteria for being in the CFP

This is the way.

However the SEC and B1G would end up screwing that up as both conferences are going to start demanding a guaranteed number of slots for their teams.

So both are 34C , yet their "body stats" list them as 36"?

Because the number in a bra size is the size of the chest without the tits (band size). The number in figure size is the chest with the tits (bust size).

But the numbers are still off, as each inch between band and bust equals a cup. A 34 inch band size with a 36 inch bust size would work out to a 34B bra.
You picked the wrong week to come back up. Christmas Day temps around the lake are supposed to be low 70s.

Terrible. Do we have any information on what happened to cause the crash?

Nothing yet.

NTSB press conference today said they recovered the cockpit voice recorder and were sending it off. Plane didn't have a flight data recorder (neither were mandatory for that plane flying that type of flight).. They expect a preliminary report in 30 days, full report in 18-24 months.

From early reports (people saying the plane didn't sound right, came in very low trying to get back to the airport) speculation is mechanical issues, potentially with an engine. Flight plan had it going from Statesville to Tampa and on to the Bahamas. Was probably fully loaded with fuel, and from takeoff to impact was 10 minutes or so; all of that avgas ignited upon impact.

Based on an aircraft accident a friend of the family had in the late 90s, I'm guessing there wasn't a lot left to recover.

What I didn’t anticipate, though, was the sense of having no “go to” resource anymore for things like family history, wisdom, etc. You will never get to ask another question, and you are now the one that your family looks to for that. You’re it. No safety net.

I completely agree. Stories you've heard dozens of times but don't exactly remember the setting. Where did a certain family name come from. Tips and tricks for getting that fudge recipe just right, because there's some little thing that was never written in the recipe.
Assuming most, if not all, by now know about the plane crash in North Carolina yesterday that killed former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family.

Among the others on the plane was the pilot's son - Jack Sutton - who was a junior at Auburn studying flight management.

Then add in the close call for Dale Jr and Amy, as well as Jack Roush putting his plane in a farm pond on the way to Talladega and almost killing himself.

Seems like it was on fire before it landed

Saw something earlier about debris on the 9th hole of the golf course next to the airport. If you pull up a map, the 9th green is right near the intersection of east aviation blvd and old airport drive. I tried to drop this pin on the green. Either there was a massive explosion on impact with all of the avgas, or it was burning/coming apart before hitting the ground.
quote:

With the report of five adults killed, it sounds like they had pilots flying

From what I am seeing, the seven killed were:
Biff, his wife, their 5 y/o son, his 14 y/o daughter from his first marriage, a friend (used to drive Kenny Wallace's motorcoach), pilot, and the pilot's adult son.

I'm near 50 and I still clearly remember an episode where they rescue a group of space midgets that can use a shared telekinesis to impact things around them. They begin to chant "off think" over and over and Wilma's clothes start unfastening before she is rescued. Even as a very young lad I really wanted that scene to continue to its logical conclusion.

How’d the wise men know to go to Nazareth?

They were wise?

Maybe the star led them?

Maybe they went to Bethlehem and asked around and someone was like..."Oh, you mean the Christ kid and his family? They were just here for that census thing and then went home to Nazareth. We were so glad to see them go; we had shepherds, drummer boys, all these folks wantin' to see some baby that was sleeping in a food trough."

The baby would have been about a year or two old when the wise men visited

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were most likely back in Nazareth. They had already taken Jesus to Jerusalem for presentation at the temple, so there would be no need to go back to Bethlehem. At that point the census would have been concluded.
