Ten Things Women Hate About Sports (not that Faldo cares)

Why coed sports are a bad idea.......or a great one.

A female sports fan wrote an article listing the things women sports fans hate about sports. Fair enough. Men hate some things about sports too.

Like the "instigator rule", stepping out of the batters box once in, Jerry Jones, pro basketball, soccer, female referees, female sideline reporters and ….well all female sports where the women are dressed like ….well…. are dressed at all.

But here is her list:

1 – “The Kiss Cam” - She says it’s because they may be at the game with a guy they don’t want to kiss. Really? Then you have no business being there do you?

Do you think he brought you to the game to hear your insight into the Wishbone Offense against a Eight in the Box Zone? No. He wants to look down your blouse as you turn your head to watch the game and look at your butt as you ascend the stairs in front of him. And then hopefully score a touchdown himself later in your endzone. If that is not a possibility for the poor sap, let him take his buddy who will at least buy him a beer for the ticket.

2 – “Being pandered to by sports teams” – Please. Women demand to be pandered to – or the Democrat Party and 90% of the television shows, movies and malls would dry up and blow away – as they should anyway by the way.

3 – “Players wives” – Hot chicks are always threatening to women…..even to other hot women. Get over it – or start a cat fight. We would prefer the latter.

4 – “Having our motives for liking sports questioned” – Like when you ask why the "coach" is going to the "hill of dirt" to change "quarterbacks"?

5 – “Pink Jerseys” – See # 2. Who do you think is buying them? Women! And why we are on the subject, where is the Prostate Cancer jersey and why aren’t you buying those?

6 – “Negativity about women’s sports” – Hey, if it sucks – it sucks. If you want us to watch, have the women athletes dress near naked or be naked. Even then – it still sucks because we can’t watch it with our buddies or our WAGs (wives and girlfriends). Watching with the guys makes us all look desperate and like we are not getting any. Well, we are not, but we don’t want our buddies to know that.

And unless your WAG also ‘likes to look too’, we will be on the couch or worse if we are caught watching. So, just forget the whole thing.

7 -  “Spitting” – Hey, we don’t demand to watch you put on your makeup or a Lifetime movie and then complain about what we see. Deal with it.

8 – "Playoff beards" – See #7.

9 – "Women in sports movies" - See #2. You are the reason they are there. So the men in the movie will have a love interest in the movie for you to get yourself involved in or at least so you have someone to relate to. Otherwise, the film will not get made. Only porn movies get produced without being pandered to females specifically. And how many of those do you want to watch with us men? Faldo rests his case. 

10 - “Women in sports who are bad at their job” – Well, that would be almost all of them. So many “almost all”, Faldo changes it to ALL. But they are there because of women and of course - #2.

Women and #2. They go together when it comes to sports.

The Media and Democrat Lying... has got to Stop!

Obamacare on a roll.

This government shutdown is about trying to stop a Freedom Shutdown and a Financial Meltdown. Period.  

This kind of lying – even to his Kool-aid drinkers - has just got to stop!

Obama: “If you are someone who reads Faldo’s articles and now thinks Obamacare is horrible…..”

Why I ought to…….. Barry, if we were in a bar, I’d ask your skinny butt outside.

Listen, Barry. Faldo is not the one making Americans sick about your healthcare law. Your healthcare law is.

I hate to break the truth to you Barry, but Faldo is not the problem here. You are. Your words are. Your broken promises are. You communists are, along with your Democrat Kool-aid drinkers.

Faldo did not sell this healthcare law on a bed of lies, you and the rest of the Democrats did. Remember this?

“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.” – Obama speech at a medical conference.

Tell this again to tens of thousands of retirees of major companies who have been dumped from their coverage and told to find their own coverage. Now Faldo didn’t break that news to them Barry, their companies did.

Faldo didn’t push companies to start hiring more and more part time workers Barry, your healthcare law did.

Faldo didn’t incentivize fast food restaurants to drop company benefits Hussein, your healthcare law did.

Faldo didn’t make doctors and medical businesses opt out Lie-Daddy. Your healthcare law did.

Faldo didn’t make healthcare costs skyrocket, you idiot. Your healthcare law did.

Faldo didn’t grant hundreds of exemptions to Democrat friendly companies. You did Barry, you slime ball. If Obamacare is so great, why are Democrats avoiding it like the plague…. that it is?

Faldo didn’t delay one key provision after another, including just recently – on-line enrollment. Your administration did Barry.

And it was not Faldo who said we had to pass this law – “just to see what is in it.” That was that mentally ill person from California – Nancy Pelosi, Democrat – that said that.

Faldo did not ignore basic math. You didn’t even attempt to do the math Shit-for-Brains. You said you could cover 30 million more Americans and also throw in everyone with previous health conditions, and not see an increase in premiums.

Faldo did not say you could get something for nothing. That is the lying platform of the Democrat-Communist Party since the beginning of your degenerate philosophy.

Faldo always said that Obamacare was really just a method for a massive tax increase and total control over citizens. Only now are you admitting – you did raise taxes, just the other night.

Here is where you are right about Faldo.

Faldo was on to you – and all Democrats – as to what you are, and what you truly want to do, decades ago. Faldo did the math and the analysis. Barry, you could not, would not and did not.

Faldo wrote it and proved it. You didn’t have to prove anything and the nation is suffering for it.

Take it from the man who is always right (except for the Hillary instead of you as Dictator prediction). The number of part time employees with no benefits will continue to rise.

The number of retirees dumped by their company pensions will continue to rise until all are dropped. The number of doctors dropping out will continue to rise.

The number of Democrat donators and flunkies demanding waivers to opt out will continue to rise, proving your “healthcare plan” and death panels is really for your opponents.

None of these facts are lies. Faldo has proven once again – you and the Democrats always lie.

You always say Faldo is the skunk at your picnic.

The stench is not coming from Faldo reporting on what you and your fellow Democrats do.

That stench IS you, Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama, Muslim Communist and wanna-be Dictator.

Liberals Want it Stolen...Just Not From Them

The American Taxpayer

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.

The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea. How would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the conservative side of the fence."

If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him..

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it..
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

Rjmech Wins for the 4th Time

 

Imogene Thomas wants an Rjmech ribbon cutting cerimony.

Starbucks Management Are Idiots – Pure and Simple

Democrat donkey - helping the American citizen.

As is the American voter – legal, illegal, multiple, made up or dead.

Because all – except for some of the legal voters are Democrats.

But as a business, how do you purposely make the decision to alienate a large segment of your customers? Starbucks did, and their CEO appears on TV to prove they were not misquoted.

Starbucks is banning guns from their coffee shops. Now forget how moronic it is as you can’t enforce it and you are showing you just want to ignore the US Constitution. But you are also telling all criminals – come on in to Starbucks! No one there is armed. Come on in and safely rob, rape and kill everyone in the building.

I’m not going to enter a Starbucks. Not because of their stupid rule, but because I am not wasting my time, bullets and risking my life possibly having to defend idiots dumb enough to enter a Starbucks store.

Yes, I am stating I do not want to be in a position of having to save the life of liberals. Let them reap what they sow.

Speaking of being sitting ducks under liberalism and Obama, another US military establishment is attacked and a large number of people were killed. What would the liberal media be saying if a Republican was president?

But instead of looking at the root cause (all guns locked up on military bases per presidential edict), the lying communist media turns out stories on how the gunman “practiced at gun ranges” and “legally bought a shotgun used in the shootings”. Translation – close that all down and we will all be safe.

Yeah, right. They took all the guns from the citizens in Nazi Germany. Review history to see how safe they were. And if you want the feeling of being safe in a liberal society – walk unarmed in Detroit or Chicago sometime. Or visit a Starbucks.

Obama – speaking of that communist piece of human debris – actually made a speech where he said that WE are arming the Muslim rebels in Syria with assault rifles so “they can fight against a government that doesn’t represent them.” He said that, completely unaware that he and the rest of the communists called Democrats are trying to ban assault rifles in this country. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY NOW?????

Obama – and that criminal, racist murderer Eric Holder also gave illegal assault rifles to the drug dealers in Mexico. The plan was to make the killings and the weapons look so bad in Mexico, it would lead to a ban here.

All it did was get the intended result of hundreds of innocent Mexican citizens killed – but also a US Border Patrol agent. Yes, a US border agent was killed by a gun given to the criminal by his own government. Again, if it was a Republican president, what would the media be doing with this story?

On the domestic front of this communist regime we are under, Obamacare is being attacked – by Democrats – finally. The communist criminal unions have finally realized that their rank and file is losing their good healthcare for “garbage care” – THAT IS MORE EXPENSIVE!

All Democrat money laundering operations are asking for waivers to get out from under Obamacare. They finally realized that Democrat supporters can also be slowly killed or executed under Obamacare.

In addition, Obamacare paperwork asks for proof of US citizenship to apply. “WHAT”? – Democrats scream? “We didn’t need it to vote for you”!!!

So enjoy your weekend. Your healthcare is being destroyed. Your military is being allowed to be slaughtered both here and abroad (Bengazi anyone?). Murders of US citizens – especially in liberal gun free zones continue to skyrocket.

But don’t worry; the Communist Democrats won’t be removed from power ever again. At least not by an election.

Again, enjoy your weekend. They are running out.

Absea98 Wins His 1st in 2013!

Only the Irish have Jokes Like This

It's ok, but her heels should be higher.

Sometimes You Have to Let Go

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train.
His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp.
"What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.
" Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.
" That little shit, O'Conner," says Sean, "He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."
" That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."
" Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself, didn't you have something in your hand?"
" That I did," said Paddy. "Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was. But useless in a fight."

Listen Carefully
An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.
A cop pulls him over.
" So," says the cop to the driver, where have ya been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.
" Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening."
" I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.
"D id you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest,
that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk.
"For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

Faldo Agrees – It is THAT Good
Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.
"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya".
" Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"
" That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda." There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."
" I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."
Finally, she looked up at Tim.. "How did it happen, Tim?"
" It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat ofcGuinness Stout and drowned."
"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me the truth, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"
"Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times to pee."

Last Request?
Mary Clancy goes up to Father O' Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears.
He says, " So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?"
She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news . My husband passed away last night."
The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?"
S he says, "That he did, Father."
The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary? "
She says, He said, 'Please Mary, put down that damn gun...'

Any Port in a Storm
A drunk staggers into a Catholic Church, enters a confessional booth, sits down, but says nothing.
The Priest coughs a few times to get his attention but the drunk continues to sit there.
Finally, the Priest pounds three times on the wall.
The drunk mumbles, "ain't no use knockin, there's no paper on this side either!"

Lump2 Wins 5th of the Year; Faldo and T3chlady Win Seats!

Lump2 doesn't just take poker players to the woodshed.

Lump2 ties K9isadog for the most wins so far this year, but it was not enough to catch our leaders.
 

But don’t get Faldo wrong, Lump2 will be right in the hunt for the 4^th quarter seat and the two Total Points seats – as he sits in 3^rd place there.

Actually, the 4^th quarter will be crazy close with two separate races running at the same time – for THREE seats in the NPP Finals!

Talk about exciting!

Mikeniks-Faldo hung on to the 3^rd quarter lead, as T3chlady came up just short of knocking Faldo out and taking the seat alone.
After Faldo failed to cash, T3chlady had to win in order to do it. But when she came in 5^th  - now only LittleRedElf could catch her – by winning tonight - for the FaldoWild Card seat.

Internet connections plagued The Elf tonight or the results might have been much different. He finished 3^rd to miss the 3^rd quarter seat, but takes the lead in the Total Points Race!

LittleRedElf will also be a factor down the stretch – as will K9isadog.

But that does not mean a current player or new player could not dominate the 4^th quarter and win a seat that way! We all start at zero – starting next week!

So be here or be square!

On to the action:

20 min: Tigercub8189 (16^th) Missed it playing my hand.

23 min: Wingsfancurt (15^th) sees his two pair run into Theedouble*d’s full house.

That only leaves T3chlady who can catch Faldo. She is 9^th in chips currently to Faldo’s 5^th in chips. Stay tuned

Derf-63 Wins for the Second Time in 2013

Danica Patrick runs fast and hot after Derf-63!

Derf-63 built a big stack at his first table and then continued his run at the final table. With this win, Derf-63 joins the crowd chasing Faldo for the 3^rd seat in the NPP final.

T3chlady and Pre01 also can run down Faldo to win the 3^rd quarter seat.

Ah, but here is the rub! Faldo is a wildcard! If he wins the seat, the second place player also gets a seat!

So, the real leader is T3chlady, who is being chased by Derf-63, Pre01, and LittleRedElf.

As always, an exciting finish all the way to the final week in Quarter Three!

The Education Continutes at NPP

Manure... An interesting fact

Manure : In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas of course. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles, you can guess what could (and did) happen.

 Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

Several ships – and people - were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just

what was happening.

 After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction

' Stow high in transit '

on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ' , (Stow High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.
You probably did not know the true history of this word. Neither did I. I had always thought it was a golf term.

 And Where it Comes From

 A guy traveling through Mexico on vacation lost his wallet and all of his identification. Cutting his trip short, he attempted to make his way home but was stopped by the U.S. Customs Agent at the border.

"May I see your identification, please?" asked the agent.
"I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet," replied the guy.

"Sure buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no entry," said the agent.
"But I can prove I'm an American!" he exclaimed. "I have a picture of Ronald Reagan tattooed on one side of my butt and George Bush on the other."

"This I gotta see, "replied the agent.
With that, the guy dropped his pants and showed the agent his behind.

"By golly, you're right!" exclaimed the agent. "Have a safe trip back to Chicago ...."
"Thanks!" he said. "But how did you know I was from Chicago ?"

The agent replied, "I recognized Obama in the middle."
