You guys have beer left after the party? I don't think you're doing it right.

Hey, thanks. It was definitely time to pull the cord;I'm pretty sure if I don't get out of here now I never will. This week's been rough on the nerves, with this whole excited/terrified situation playing out in my mind, but it really does help knowing that at least a few people out there don't think I'm a complete…

Has there always been a booze thread down here? I need to read past the food/fashion/Sweet Clam hates Amelie part of the board more often.

Man, camping provides opportunities for some of the best food imaginable if you plan ahead (although I will admit to never having tried this with an infant). A few years back I was camping with some friends and we were struggling to figure out what to do with the grease leftover from the pound of bacon we cooked with…

It's become something of a tradition the past few years for me to make a steak and mushroom pudding on an early fall weekend and invite a bunch of people over for pudding, wine, and pumpkin beer (another fall favorite). It can be kind of hard to find some of the ingredients in the US-suet seems to only be available at…

I won't go into too many details here, but my most embarassing travel story involved a severe case of Deng Xiaoping's Revenge, a Chinese host family with no English skills and no private bathroom, and a deep sense of apologetic shame for everybody involved.

Probably his brother for not settling the teachers strike. Ari is a pro-union guy.

I have the same problem, I'll watch Jerry Jones micromanage this team into the ground for 1000 years before I draft someone from Philly. I've found it's easier to just try and avoid players from the NFC East if at all possible. The hatred in our division just runs too deep.

I don't even know how that happened, we didn't have enough people for a league so we filled out the ranks with randoms from our offices, some of which apparently aren't familar with the game of football. I didn't expect that much out of Ryan either, but it was a nice surprise.

Also, Flutie Flakes were by far the best breakfast cereal for landscaping pranks. Those colors don't run. (Proceeds from the cereal did go to Autism research, so you felt extra good about using it for mischievous reasons)

I'm playing for the first time in years, and most of my league is so laughably bad that there are really only 3-4 other people I have to worry about. (Folks started drafting defenses in the 3rd round, and one dude has 5 QBs in his lineup). I also went RB first, picking up Ray Rice and Frank Gore early. I still wound…
