Re: I Think I'll Go For A Walk - Death Pool Thread
I'm not much of a racing fan and wasn't aware of what an important figure Economaki was. My only exposure to him came every year at Indy (back in the days when the race was stupidly on tape delay), especially his interviews with A. J. Foyt. Anytime A.J. had to quit the race early it was Economaki's job to ask him why, what happened. Inevitably, Foyt was steaming, and had two stock replies to the question: (paraphrasing) 1. "The bleeping car broke." 2. "How the bleep should I know?" Remember, as an owner, A. J. once punched out his own driver. So Economaki had to know he was risking his neck sticking a mic in Foyt's face. RIP Chris.

Maybe he's eating what Mooshelle is dictating to our kids. If that's the case, he won't be around much longer. I've got the champagne chilling.

Honest to God, I had a flashback to that Steve Jobs picture that floated around the net just before he died...

1. I still find the "Mooshelle" comments amusing. She's still in far better shape than the vast majority of her detractors. Significantly so in some cases.
2. PSAs encouraging healthy eating and exercise habits =/= dictating. There have been some federal mandates to provide fruits and vegetables in school lunches, but whatever.
3. No one has ever had their lifespan shortened by produce. Unless its been poisoned.
4. Can't wait for him to die. Stay classy.

I agree on your first three. In this case, I will not shed any tears upon the deaths of well-established racists Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, whether that's "classy" or not.

I should amend. Sharpton is indeed a *****. He hasn't adjusted with the times, and its made him all the worse for it. Still wont get cheerful over his death, though.
A). Why put myself down to that level?
B). "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms". (Ephesians 6:12) Hate the sin, not the sinner. Sharpton's a reverend. He always should've known better and so should I.
Re: I Think I'll Go For A Walk - Death Pool Thread
Al Sharpton should die, and soon. Read up on what happened at Freddie's Fashion Mart after he brought his rabble rousing there. He has done nothing to improve the lives of the people he purports to represent. However, he has made good on his ambition to be the "baddest n-word in NYC."
Evidently you've been tuning out the stories from all over the country about high school kids rebelling against the "one caloric size fits all approach" of the new food programs. Now the feds are talking about a new program to correct the deficiencies of the first program. Hey, how 'bout letting the kids eat what they want? So the 225 pound linebacker can satisfy his hunger and the 109 pound member of the chorale hers?

Douchey or not, schadenfreude is a powerful and temporarily rewarding human emotion. There are a select few individuals that are worthy of indulging in it, regardless of whether it's the "high road" to avoid such feelings.
EDIT: I do not WISH the deaths of either of those individuals (or others "on the list"), but when the time comes - yeah.

Couldn't the linebacker just gone back thru the line to get seconds??

Or bring his own lunch.
Re: I Think I'll Go For A Walk - Death Pool Thread
I doubt the lunch police would permit that. And unless high school lunch periods are a lot longer than in the old days, I doubt he'd have the time. Besides, why should he be hassled by having to go through the line twice? How about if this big kid wants two hamburgers we just let him have them (assuming, of course, Mooshelle still permits high schools to serve burgers)?

What if he wants a hot lunch? What if he can't bring his own? What if he prefers the cafeteria food? Why shouldn't he just be allowed to eat whatever he wants? Why? Because Mooshelle says so? I've posted one story about a little girl whose lunch brought from home was determined to be "insufficiently nutritious" by the lunch police. You figure that's an anomaly, not to be repeated? And not a glimpse of the future?

Re: I Think I'll Go For A Walk - Death Pool Thread
Hell, I walked away from HS in 1999, but if memory serves me, I'm pretty sure our lunch period was at least a half hour, maybe even 45 minutes. If Big Man on Campus is still hungry, maybe he needs to stop putting the moves on Mary Jane Rottencrotch the cheerleader, and go back thru the line.

Re: I Think I'll Go For A Walk - Death Pool Thread
Ours was 20 minutes. Barely had enough time to get your food and eat it, and I went to a small HS with 3 lunch periods.

Re: I Think I'll Go For A Walk - Death Pool Thread
20 minutes for me too. But we got to eat as much as we wanted and our school lunch food was usually pretty good, but then, the lunch nazis hadn't invaded at that point. Build-your-own pasta bar, for the win!
