Never had it or Columbus Day off. I'm still part of the "northern European origin only holiday celebration" land. Still hear the complaints too. Boy, are people going to shit a brick in twenty years when Harvey Milk Day comes along...

I would never waste my money on "microwave popcorn" with all that crap on it. Just throw regular popcorn in a brown paper bag and toss it in the microwave. Of course, that leaves you with the same problem as the Presto popper, but I'd rather add my own butter than have the stuff flavored by that chemical swill.

Excellent; I'll have to check it out.

Being a quarterback requires more than being able to throw a football through the middle of a tire from 20 yards away. Successful quarterbacks seem to share some common traits, generally rolled up under the broad category known as "leadership." There have been plenty of great black quarterbacks in both college and the pros who have had all the characteristics you'd ever want in a QB: Doug Williams, Warren Moon, Donovan McNabb, the Seahawks' Russell Wilson today (one of the top QBs in the league, IMO). Could Winston develop into a great leader? Sure. Does he demonstrate all those characteristics now? Nope. This knee-jerk reaction to any criticism of anyone who happens to be black seems somewhat -- jaundiced. IMO, etc. And yet we heard these same criticisms about the quarterbacks you mention. These same lines come up EVERY TIME a black quarterback comes along. But I'm the one with the knee-jerk reaction... And getting back to the original topic, Duckland is not so happy tonight!

Which means dick. For my purpose it meant that most people don't seem to have as high an opinion of Mr. Winston as Cali has. Which still means dick. Should I be shocked that most people dislike a flamboyant black quarterback in this country? We see the same arguments come up whenever a black quarterback comes along. Lazy, stupid, character issues, even "not the right kind of guy". Christ, I was surprised 'uppity' didn't make an appearance. I'll admit, I don't follow college football, and I know zip point shit about this guy, his play, the rape charges, or anything else; maybe this time all the cliches are correct. I don't know. But it'll take a hell of a lot more than "most people think" to convince me.

Which means dick.

Same here. Given a choice of "breakfast" or "more sleep", it's not even close.

That's okay, but if you can see doing Congo Bill instead of Jungle Jim...

I grew up on Green Acres and Rocky and Bullwinkle. And people still wonder how I got this way...

Here, why not take this test and post the results: http://www.free-test-online.com/middle/8th_grade_algebra1.htm 8/10; I missed answering one apparently. I'd like to hear an explanation of why you think that Brad's second statement contradicts the first, by the way.

I think that in most subjects teachers plant the seed and then it is up to as individuals to enlarge upon that over time. Maybe today that's true. As far as history goes, I graduated from high school in rural Georgia in 1975. For those of us in that time and place, it was up to us as individuals to uproot the seed, make sure it was dead, and restart again with decent seed.
