Yeah, not gloating by any means. I really wanted to see Liverpool win the league if Chelsea couldn't (they couldn't, not last season) and that was an especially cruel way to have everything shift. I hope he gets some kind of happy ending in his last few years, it would be a legitimate shame to have that stick in…

Ack, I'm with you on a lot of this (and sorry to do this to you) but I'm a Chelsea fan and I vividly remember Stevie G. on his knees as Demba Ba steamed toward goal back in April. Your boys had the league in their grasp and he just tripped. I agree he is (or was) that team's heart, but, man, that mistake.

Also "were been" but that's secondary

"And what of poor Southampton? They were been raided by United, Arsenal, and Chelsea"

Between comparing raising children to 'bird dogs' and claiming you know exactly how hard to hit your kid to instill the correct amount of discipline without the loathing, even though no one does? You couldn't be Texasing any harder. Anyway, keep trying to justify your child abuse to internet strangers, keep fighting…

Oops, sorry, "putting a Glock in his 18 year-old son's face". My bad.

<i>"Corporal punishment can be used in the authoritative style of parenting when the child is younger with no long term effects."</i>

Yes, for real and for true. Also, WHAT? Of course it wouldn't! Pittsburgh already falls under the broad heading of "Suck", but it would be a wasteland without rivers, just like Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Amsterdam, Genoa, London, or literally any other city which was built around rivers as a source of water for…

Since we're dialoguing now, I feel compelled to tell you I was a little stoned at a beer store the other day and spent what felt like 10 minutes staring at a case of Cream Ale and wondering why the word 'cream' was even there. It just makes me think of some kind of beer nog, viscous as motor oil. Anyway, these are my…

Right but your whole case for claiming you're a good parent is 'Yes, I hit my kid, but I also slip him a crisp George Washington if he mows the lawn' and I guess what I'm wondering is, if you're already cool with hitting, what happens the first time he (probably as a teenager) tells you to screw off when you tell him…

Sam Adams and Dunkin' Donuts have the exact same approach to flavoring. Add 5 pumps of pumpkin/cinnamon/mocha slurry to a very whatever base flavor. When I drink Yuengling, I can at least remember to keep ordering Yuenglings (if I'm kind of broke). When I finish a Sam Adams and the bartender asks if I'd like another,…

You're absolutely correct, Yuengling has definitely spread west over the last decade, at the same time Sheetz has been spreading east. Also, regular consumption of Genessee Cream Ale will eventually eliminate any need for belts.

Wrong side of the commonwealth. Eastern PA is Yuengling country, western PA drinks IC Lite, which is just fermented steel mill runoff.

This is where I point out that, in addition to abusing your child, your 'cash for chores' program will crush any intrinsic motivation the child might have had toward doing those kinds of tasks and means he will never do them unless you pay him (or hit him!). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overjusti…
