I have theories on how this toilet Imploded.

B) SLedgehammer
C) A wormhole the size of a neutron opened and then closed.
2 of these things are considered, "Not Possible" by modern adults, So I will guess B).

You mean LT, the 32nd best running back in the NFL? Norv Turner hasn't a clue as to how to run the ball and stop the run.
Rant\
My claim on the Gulf ends when I get to the Dead Zone. That's not us. To fix that mess, you have to fix the Mississippi, all of the agricultural run-off, and reverse the effects of the levees that don't allow the river to periodically break its banks and cause floods. Too many humans to try to get along with. I LOVE the speculative news stories that act as if the Dead Zone is a mystery. Think about the footage of the I-35 collapse in Minneapolis... not an inch of natural river bank to absorb sediments, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or nutrients. That's what winds up in the Dead Zone. I'm approaching 50 and have been doing this for a looonngg time. Lake Erie was in flames when I was young and things have come a long way since then.
It's up to kids in their 20s to tackle the Mississippi and it will take their entire careers before they start seeing progress. Sorry, Med. It's you folks in Kansas and along every tributary that are ruining the northern Gulf. The future efforts already began around 5 years ago, under something called NPDES Phase II; if you look around your neighborhoods, you may notice that storm water drains are now getting labels, saying things like "I lead to the Jones River." That's what those labels are about... NPDES Phase II. We can't handle your grass clippings, motor oil, and other yuck once they get down here. They have to be stopped up there, before they get to the river.

Annie- Choose out a country that no one really knows where it is. Burkina looks nice. Sub Saharan. Probably has problems. Doesn't exist anymore. Formerly French territory.
then there is Yap. A small island chain (5 islands) that is most known for Snorkeling and Scuba diving adventures. Give them rules like, "You are not allowed to drive off the island" make a big stink if someone does.
So long as you keep everyone worried about this, you can enjoy your time. Oh yeah, make sure to have conspiracies to watch Art Bell. This should keep him happy.

Well, Annie, since you did admit that I walk on water, and since I personally know that Dave did put you in charge of the entire west coast, I'll concede to you.
But the Chargers suck this year. I was just trying not to be a fair weather fan!
Good Luck, sweetie!
Posted by: Eleanor | September 29, 2007 at 02:58 PM
Male docling just scored on a walk. I suspect the catcher for the other team was on the actual Texas Rangers.
Posted by: diverdowndoc | September 29, 2007 at 03:04 PM
El, just be patient. Norv Turner will bring in somebody that understands the running game, which is what the Chargers were built for. You can't turn a power team into a finesse offense without years of drafting and trading personnel.
By the time the Chargers face my most-exalted Jags (November 18), they will be a concern for me. I wish we could face them now while they're still trying to play a finesse offense!
Posted by: iTune | September 29, 2007 at 03:11 PM
IS this why the Mariners are always bombing in October, Fair Weather?
Annie- I would recommend never actually taking over Yap. First off, there small change weighs 2 tons. Just say that they pose an ecological danger to the fishes in the sea. Which is true, because they eat the fish. So long as people are worried about Yap, they won't notice to much in the Western States.
Can anyone guess that I am studying Geography 101 this quarter?

Well, iTune, I'm reminded of what Chris Collinsworth said last week:
"Memo to Chargers: You don't fire a coach who goes 14-2."
Although I do think that Marty was 100% responsible for our blow out in the post season last year.
Posted by: Eleanor | September 29, 2007 at 03:24 PM
Since ALDCP'oEWCO is in charge of the Chargers, perhaps the memo should have been sent to her.

ALTDCPodWC Offensive, I think USC is away today... so parking may be cheaper than you think!
El, a less well known guy made an interesting observation last week. Usually (apart from rare exceptions), Super Bowl winners have been in the playoffs for several years before they win the big game. The team Marty built was designed to get into the playoffs and stay in them. San Diego didn't give him enough time to stay in long enough to win it.
