heh, sucks you had some deleted... at least they didn't dock you for 1000. That was a screenshot of the "view new posts" function.

dude, I really didn't know about many other teams outside of the cowboys, I mean I knew players, but I didn't really know a lot of them. Trust me dude, FF is a blast. You don't really need to know much, just go to NFL.com, and they'll tell you who / how to pick in less than a page...

http://nfl.com/fantasy/story/6434873

scroll to the bottom, just play, you'll be glad you did.

no, money isn't involved in this league, and you can put in as little or as much time as you want.. I'd say you could spend as little as 10 minutes a week making sure you have your players right, and checking to see if you won... or you could do tons of research on players, and spend more time doing football stuff than whoring on A-CL. (most people here dont do that)

the draft takes about 30-40 minutes, and after that, you don't ever have to log in again if you didnt want to. actually, you dont even have to participate in the draft. just sign up, and yahoo will auto pick the best available players for you.

I do fantasy NASCAR with a bunch of friends. It's a lot of fun to rag each other. At this time I am leading our group and in the 98% of the nation which is 500K teams.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

i was at the richardson library today and when i came out, i find my car got swiped by some moron driver who couldnt park. dug into my paint on the rear passenger door, scraped the tires, scratched the rims, and also scraped my rear bumper on the sides

you'd think that once they hit you, they'd back up and try again, but nooooooooooo, they just kept going to scrape more of my baby

oh, and of course, the idiot ran off

thats what i get for going to the library for reading books huh?

:angry: :thumbsdn:

Ducks, that really sucks. I know you are PISSED. Sorry and nothing you can do about it. I am always walking around my car to make sure I don't have any new dings. No way they just hit your car and kept on coming. Damn that is terrible. Sorry. Inferno

I would be FUMING if some one hit my car like that! Especially if they just took off. I know I shouldn't say this, but I can just see some old lady with a car way to big for her scraping your car and not even noticing. :angry:

Looking back at some of the magazines, they almost all mention the clutch being weak (one said "the expensive smell of clutch filled the cabin"). Then they went on to say the Evo is a better drivers car (as in better, not just cheaper) than the BMW M3, Porsche C4S, and the Audi S4.

I am thinking the '04 model will correct it or an aftermarket would correct it (and void a lot of the warranty). Damn.

How is the roomie's STi? Has it seen the light of day yet? Making it too much of a stable queen isn't good for its thoroughbreed roots...

If you want to see some amazing stuff, look at the
Vishnu web page for the WRX/STi, Evo, and Miato (one of these is not like the other). Oh my, do they have something going on there!

It's your zip code it doesn't like. When i typed that in it said the same thing. Just pick another zip code to use, who cares if your info is correct as long as they got your name down.

The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 30 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message.
It sounds better in the original German...

nope, his saturn blew up months ago at the hands of Alan. He then bought an MT MX6 so he could learn to drive standard.

To get around, he either uses our 3rd roommate, or whichever of cars im not driving.

Since I can't edit my earlier post to correct a misssssspelled word, the following must be sung by the administrator:

You say tomato, I say tomaato. You say Miata, I say Miato...lets call the whole thing off.

The German reference is to gestopo like administrators that prevent me from doing what I think is reasonable. Of couse there must be a very good reason. Who knows. Who cares. Just on a rant. Tough morning at the office. I feel better now.
