In the Sports Forum. Win a weekend getaway to Perth Amboy, NJ. Not really. But win this baby and earn the undying respect and adulation of your peers. Forget 'It's A Wonderful Life'. Remember. Nothing says Christmas Eve more than the SMU-Nevada game from Hawaii.

4. I knew I could count on you, Fork.
Ever been to Perth (that's how it's affectionately known in NJ) this time of year?

5. I've spent many a night in NJ.
Personally I kind of like it. They do have the Devils after all. :)

14. You got about ten days, Straight.
No need to rush. This is serious thinking. Health care? Afghanistan? This is high stakes shit. I don't think anyone has EVER gone undefeated on this deal.

34. Great call? As opposed to that bs at the end of the Texas / Nebraska game
Ordinarily I hate the Huskers but I wanted to give chaos a chance.

17. Do you have to be in the armed forces
to play in the Armed Forces bowl? And why is it you don't have to be from Texas to play in the Texas Bowl? Weirder yet - Navy is playing in the Texas Bowl and they're in the armed forces. Confusion reigns.

That's why GD depresses the shit out of me. Not even 11 months and a lot of these folks think O a failure. It's beyond me.

"Barack Obama is the Jay Cutler of the democratic party." ( OK that was me in the spirit of a Bears fan sarcastic thread Bitching at BO is like bitching at a coach who took last years' winless team to .500, with the season half over and still a chance to come out on top

29. Sometimes I feel like a little kid
coming out of the sports forum basement into the GD living room of adults. Doesn't take me longer than a trip to the fridge for a sixer to sneak back downstairs to figure out it's more fun in the rumpus room.

31. Only funny 'cause it's true
And I've been to some fine, fine garage parties, too. Out here folks have some pretty elaborate heating set up to keep it warm and rocking out with the cars.
