  1. I've been handed a few tickets I didn't think I deserved, but I just look at it as the law of averages catching up for all those times I should have gotten one and a cop wasn't around to see my rolling stop or see me run a red light. I don't like getting them, but if you look at it this way, it's hard to get too mad.

  2. I sat and watched it with my father just last night. It's amazing to sit and count the number of dead people in those casts.

     

    I didn't watch last night. I was too busy watching L'ville women knock Rutgers out of the Big East Tourney. But you did what I like to do. I enjoy finding shows from when I was a kid and watching them with my folks. It's a good way to see if they still remember and check on whether the old timers has set in yet.:D

  3. Or all the car doors!

     

    If you're going the vaseline on the car route, then wait until it is about to rain and put big globs a vaseline on his windshield just above the wipers. When he turns the wipers on, it will spread out covering the windshield with a slime that is impossible to remove.

  4. When they are sleeping, Saran Wrap them to the bed. Go around and around them and the bed with Saran wrap. Cover their entire body, arms, legs, everything except face. Then throw a blanket over them, so when they wake up, they won't know why they can't move. They will just know they can't. If they are inclined to be afraid of confined spaces, this makes this prank even better. BTW, if you can catch them asleep in a chair, it makes this much easier to do, and you will need an accompice.

  5. I thought of one more. I didn't realize how annoying this was until I experienced it first hand ant the UK/LSU game Saturday.

     

    I'll call him "Mr. Fan Coach."

     

    A guy setting a row in front of me was screaming out plays (from the upper deck). This guy was so into it that he knew the officials names. He also gave his wife very hard high fives after any basket UK made and any decent defensive miss.

     

    He really reminded me of Joe from family guy. He was very intense. At first it was ruining the experience. By the end of the game, I was laughing so hard at him I really didn't care that UK had lost.

     

    I dated a girl several years ago (almost 20) that had a dad that was consumed by "UK Fever". He would record every single game, then watch them over and over, taking notes. He would stop, rewind, start again, take more notes. He would then fax his "game notes" and a complete game summary to the UK athletic office, convinced they would make it into Pitino's hands. I have seen a lot of dedicated fans, but this is the most pathetic thing I have ever witnessed regarding college sports.

  6. Those who can't apply an apostrophe correctly when attempting to show possession. The worst is when you're in a school and you see the boy's and girl's bathroom. Who is this boy who owns the bathroom? And is he friends with the girl?

     

    A piggyback on this rule is those who use apostrophes incorrectly when attempting to show plurality.

     

    You must hate reading some of the post's on here.

     

    (I did that on purpose)

  7. I believe that tithing is a combination of time, talent and treasure. Giving 10% alone is not sufficient, IMO. But, I do feel that Wyrostek is correct in that tithing should not be limited to one's church alone. If there's a need in your community that needs addressing, I believe it's perfectly acceptable to divert some or all of your tighing toward those needs, even if your church isn't participating.

     

    To me, that is seperate from tithing. That is, IMO, an offering. Your tithe should still go into the storehouse (local church) to be used for greater good. There is certainly nothing wrong with donating or giving of your time to worthwhile social or community groups, but that really needs to be set apart from what you are giving to God. My wife's favorite charity is St. Jude's. (Mine is the Cleveland Browns) St. Jude's is a great thing and provide for services I wish we didn't need, but the funds that go to them are extra and above the tithing I feel is required to go to your local church. I feel the same way about televangelism. Some of these guys are the real deal and the money sent to them goes to a great work, but they are not the ones that will be sitting with you in the ER at 2am when a family member has had an accident or you would ask to preach a loved ones funeral. It will be your local preacher.

  8. The timeout Cooksey called with just a little over a second left lost this game. Ashland was out of t/o's. They couldn't stop the clock. He did it for them and gave them a chance to set up a play. If Ashland would have had to make the inbounds play on the fly, I believe this game would have had a different ending.

  9. I believe all of your tithe should go to your local church. If you don't like how they spend it, then get more involved with business meetings and make suggestions on how the money should be spent. My wife and I give at least 10% of our income to our church. The church, in turn, takes our money and puts it with the other members money and does a lot of good work. We support 33 missionary's worldwide, have a foodbank that is totally funded by the church, and have several other projects and activities that would not be possible if all the members used the "spread the wealth" mentality while tithing. We have a full time pastor, and even more important, a full time youth pastor. This is a great thing. he stays involved with our kids, and is even able to go to school and have lunch with them on occasion. Being that we are in a depressed rural area, one of the best uses of our money is our bus ministry. We have 7 busses that run, go on bus visitation every Sat morning, and provide the bus kids with a great breakfast every Sunday morning before Sunday School. The local church, IMO, is the best resourse to utilize the funds God has blessed us all with.

    As far as extra offerings such as a love offering or a collection for a specific purpose, they are just that - extra. These should not be considered a part of your normal tithe.
