Ah, but they have no hair on their tail. Indeed, one of the definitions of rat is that the tail is hairless. I had a teacher in Middle School who…but I digress and hijack the thread. Perhaps she did something with rat tails.
I had Brad Renfro as an alternate!!! 75 points!
you don’t get any points for your alternates. Those are in case one of you prime 13 kick it before the official kick off at 00:00:01 CST January 1st (any given year)
Look on the positive side.
Think of the many of us who do not hate you.
Instead of getting points, you now get to beat yourself up over not using him as a main pick instead of an alternate. You get the knowledge that if you had just moved him up, and someone else down (someone you used who probably won’t kick off anyway, and surely not worth so many points) then you could be celebrating a likely unique, many pointed, pick.
But now you will haunted by the old cliche of “Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.”
Life ( and death) can sometimes be so unfair…
I should have been clearer. I realized I didn’t get any points, I was mad for not moving him up on my real list.
I am so going to hell…
Oh? Then explain all those lab mice that get cancer.
Homeopathy?
Brad Renfro smokes rats?
meh. I used to smoke roaches. Why not rats?
Cancer researcher Dr Judah Folkman has died.
That was last month. Old news!
Durr! Should have checked the date, I guess. My apologies, carry on please.
Still relevant, because that item was just released by the coroner.
I’m shocked! shocked! by the revelation. :rolleyes:
Go figure. I make a joke about cancer and a cancer researcher dies.
Hmmm. Mebbe I should make jokes about the folks on my list. . . .
So, Mitzi Gaynor, Ron Popeil, and William Safire walked into a bar…
And the bartender says to Safire, “Is your participle dangling or are you just happy to see me?”
… and they all suffered skull fractures.
And then Safire said to Gaynor, “Is this some kind of joke, or are bartenders incapable of writing with their tenses in agreement?” :smack:
