"And now I must finish watching the Patriot Killers (NY Giants) destroy the Eagles..."

Life just keeps dishing out the milk and honey these days.

[Bob]

I could just see the microwave mac 'n' cheese slowly dropping from BigLie's slack jaw as the Eagles returned that punt.

[Harwich Rich]

Please don't feed the trolls

[Jeff in NC]

My 11 year old son's comment to BB's post was "if i wanted a comeback, i'd have wiped your mom's chin". That's my boy.

I did not post of course, because it would have fed the troll. And as has been pointed out to me before by harwich rich, it does not go well.

Sanfransoxfan - "thanks for playing" was great. Still chuckling at that. Its going into my prsonal repertoire.

[louclinton]

Good news for BigBriannna and other MFY fans: Goggle had instituted a feature that allows search results to be returned at a 3rd grade reading level. Much easier to catch those Lilo crotch shots for our feeble minded bretheren to the south.

[pseudosanity78]

Your 11 year old has pretty impressive comeback stock there Jeff. I'd like to buy 50 shares of that.

(er, that sounded a lot less pedo in my head...don't mind me.)

[Jeff in NC]

Yea, great line. Not sure how i felt about it coming out of my son's mouth, but you gotta love 'em, warts and all.

What i do know is this strip and you bunch of smartass wierdos make me laugh.

[Lazlo Freem]

BigBra,

Eat shit.

There, I fed the troll.

Sorry Rich.

[soxdownunder]

stupid patriots

[sanfransoxfan]

Jeff in NC - glad you liked - can't remember where I got it. btw, I did all my educ in NC (HS, Undergrad, Grad). Great state (Wrightsville B. surfer boy/lifeguard).

Our boy Cheese Faht (Big Brie) conspicuous by his absence. Sad - amusing in that "never gonna break a sweat engaging him" kind of way. Even your clever 11 yr-old zinged him.

[Jeff in NC]

Wrightsville beach. Smallish world. My days and nights are spent on the other side of the river around Southport and Oak Island.

I think we hear from cheese faht onLy once every so often because it takes him awhile to make his list of dumb things to yell at everyone about. Then he got a good beatdown the other day for spouting out a greater than normal amount of stupid. So back to the basement.

[Jeff in NC]

Just read this... Spending facts, unspun. Now everyone can argue with real numbers in their arsenal.

"The New York Yankees lowered spending on players by $12 million this year, cutting payroll by $5 million and slashing their major league-leading luxury tax by more than $7 million.

New York was hit with an $18 million luxury tax yesterday by Major League Baseball. The tax was New York's lowest since 2003 and down from $25.7 million last year, when the Yankees won the World Series.

Boston is the only other team that will have to pay. The Red Sox, who missed the playoffs this year, exceeded the payroll threshold for the first time since 2007 and owe $1.49 million.

Since the current tax began in 2003, the Yankees have run up a bill of $192.2 million. The only other teams to pay are Boston ($15.34 million), Detroit ($1.3 million) and the Los Angeles Angels ($927,000).

[sanfransoxfan]

Let's see, Jeff, that's about $7.7M per WS Championship for the Sox, and, um, $192.2M per WS Championship for the Yanks. I'd say good value for money.

[Bob]

I might be able to split work really early today, so here's wishing all your creepy people a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Even North Korea's getting into the Christmas spirit, threatening a holy war.

Anyway, have a great long weekend all. Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday, and something really fun to yak about when H.B. gets his ass back in gear.

[Harwich Rich]

Sexy Rexy as the new "Uncle Hulka with the big toe" ?? lol

[lobstaman]

If I'm a kicker of punter for the Jets, I'd be rather hesitant to go into Rex's office for a private coaching session.

[sonomasox]

Love the holy war. Take that, rosary beads to the face and a menorah to the gut.

Merry Christmas everyone! Not like anyone here looks for an excuse but time to eat, drink and be merry.

[Harwich Rich]

Merry Christmas in all it's many permutations to my extended Soxaholic family.Man,I'm eloquent tonight.(Something about animals speaking at midnight) ;D

[Kaz]

Have a resplendent Christmas, you creepy bitches.

[Realdoll]

Worth the wait! Hilarious!

[Bob]

I'm one of three people in the office today. It's actually very, very nice. Nobody yelling, nobody scheduling yet another meeting. Just quiet, productive time.

Well, productive for Soxaholix comment writing anyway.

[Harwich Rich]

Anything fun to yak about yet? ;(

[Jeff in NC]

Yes, Brandon Webb and Zack Grienke to the Rangers and Brewers. Another way of saying "not to the Yankees".

We had this dork friend in the neighborhood where we grew up who consistently excused his in effective playground abilities with the basic statement that "I meant to do that". Like when we were throwing rocks at glass bottles on a ledge next to a building and he could never hit the bottles - "I was aiming at the wall, guys".

[yazbread]

Have we clinched the division yet?

[Bob]

I was aiming at the floor under the urinal.

[Jeff in NC]

far better than aiming at your shoe.

[Bob]

Splashback got that.

[sonomasox]

Is it New Year's yet...need HB back for some creative juice.

Most of you guys can keep us going for awhile but this silence is creepier than a trannie real doll.

[Natalie]

For those of you who are working today, as I am, and need a boredom pick-me-up, I share with you this gem I found on NPR's 50 Wonderful Things from 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_sfnQDr1-o

I have no idea exactly why, but I had tears running down my face from the first note of the song...Hilarious. Now not going to get anything more done today, just watch Baby Monkey (Backwards on a Pig)

Gah, double post, sorry. It wasn't THAT good a link. :)

Down the main street of my mind/

[Bob]

Okay, almost time to split for the (half) day.

Have a great weekend all. And a happy New Year. Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday.

[Harwich Rich]

Happy New Years to one and all-now where's my Infinium??

[Lc]

Cool. Got to post in another year. Contributed nothing. Streak alive.

[Redleghockey]

Why couldn't BB be a J E T S jets jets jets fan so I could insert a clever foot fetish comment.....
