warmer in Ovid, NY than in Yankeetown, Florida this morning.

Stop looking up Ovid....except maybe in a few weeks for their first snowfall.  Otherwise, ancient history!

Happy 'almost' Friday. Any deals from the various internet sites today?

Macy's has 30% off all designer stilettos. They have 11 Wide if your looking.

Yea, but isn't that only like size 8 mens?  So the'd only be good for Biebfish and JWacky.

Ebola?  Never heard of it.  Morning, all.

Well you will!  Morning Joe what you doing here on Thursday?

I work Tuesdays and Thursdays at the old office.  Trying to change it soon... talking with my supervisor at the internship, he wants to offer a paid internship position.  I just need it to be for 40 hours a week.  It's currently 20 hours/week during school, 40/week when school is out.  I do school online/at night, so I'm hoping he'll be allowed to give me all 40 each week. If so, I think I'm outta here.

Just blackmail your old boss into a years salary. That way you're still only at 20hr, but still meeting budget.

Good morning...

Good mornin BD!

Hi Shaun...  What's new...?  I finally broke down and bought some Brick Houses last night on the jam. My first purchase since June.

Not much, grinding out some work so I can get some free time and maybe work on my paper or group deliverables for my class this week

Morning gentl...mofos.

Morning neighbor, another beautifuly day in Central Texas!

Indeed.  We're in the sweet spot of Texas weather.

Well La-dee-freakin-da!

Hmmm, a little left over Tuesday bile, I see.

Yeah like it is our fault dumbasses choose to live up there!

Hillbillies!

Dumbasses!

Who won the war? 

The dumbasses won the last one which in itself proves they are dumbasses cause they stayed up there freezing their ass off while we live warm and high quality lives down here.

CNS, that's funny stuff

Some wars are won/lost but never ended!     You can't deny that by most standards we have better weather though!

True but your accents are horrendous

And yours are not??  We also got a hell of a lot better looking women too!

You mean those phoney pageant women?

Nope I mean those natural mega hot young women sitting in the stands on the southern school's sides!

+1  There is a reason I went south for school.  I ain't as dumb as I look.

Here's a fun little interactive graphic. Place your mouse over the state to see population inflow/outflow.  'nough said.

Like how the comment section devolved into political bashing. Classic

All the "good mornings" done, cigar deal sites have all gone to chit and too early in the morning to talk about beer so what the Fuk else we got to talk about? Border wars or Ebola which one you want?

Beer?

I like beer.

Morning, Scott.

Hey, I drank that Lobster Ale last night.  It was ok, but it was hard for me to look at the Lobster on the label and then drink it.  It kept tricking my mind into thinking I was drinking Lobster squeezings.

Are you saying, the map is showing the amount of people that go out of state for beer...?  Yeal, I can see that...

That time has passed years ago.  Back in the day they sold Coors in TX but not Louisiana so there was a huge migration to get Coors, my dad used to drive over to TX (about 30 miles) and load the station wagon down with Coors a couple of times every summer.  Then there was the youth migration from TX, AR and MS into Louisiana to buy beer and liquor when LA ws the last state with an 18 minimum age limit after the others went to 21.

...and they made a movie about it. It's called Smokey and the Bandit.

Good morning...

Morning hell, afternoon Dad.  What is with the damn Cardinals anyway?  You need to get your ass out of the N St Louis strip joints and get the ball club on track.

Think I'll have to cheer for the small market Royals. Growing tired of the Giants/Cards. Guess this is how ya'll felt in the 90's.

Giants are definitely a large market but the Royals are not a hugely smaller market than the Cardinals.

Talking more about the payroll numbers... STL is @ 115 mil vs. KC @ 92

Just to illustrate the spectrum, the Yankees highest @ 236 mil vs. HOU lowest @ 45.

Blame the owners of the 'small market' teams.  Lots of those clubs get more money in revenue sharing type money than they're payrolls, meaning owners put money directly in to their pockets.  ALL of those 'small market' owners could have a larger payroll if they chose.  There's no way Houston should be a 'small market' team.

More about the return on investment for me. Besides, your a yankees fan. Not really fair to compare what they throw at the team. Not everyone has their own revenue stream outside of 'profit sharing'. Didn't you see Money Ball.

C'mon Dave!

True... but all those owners have money.  Just sayin'.  Personally, I don't care HOW much a team spends, it's not my money.  How do the Dodgers compare in payroll?  They've gotta be right up there with the Yankees, if not higher now.

Top local story this morning was about a 7th grade boy who made a false Facebook page for one of his classmates. Basically to slam, tease and bully the other. Civil suit of $200,000 entered. They (the parents) were told to take the site down. 1 year later, and it's still up. Civil suit was won... bully's parents didn't even show. Boggles the mind.

Well here is our top story this morning, fourtunately about 90 miles from me up near Waco  where Tony's wife wants to move to.  Where the hell is Tony anyway?

American-Statesman Staff

Three Belton Independent School District schools are closed Thursday after federal officials said they were re-evaluating the health risk of two students who traveled on the same flight as a Dallas nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola, according to a district letter issued to parents.

Yeah. If this shit is anything like the movie... we're in trouble. Zombies will be sure to follow. 

NO Problem my BOTL the gubmint has got it covered already. 

CDC Pushes Preparedness For Zombies Over Ebola
"…If you're prepared for a zombie, you're really prepared for…an infectious disease," CDC Director Tom Frieden said in 2012

Great, now we're going to get a drastic increase in head shots...

Morning gentl...mofos.

Morning neighbor, another beautifuly day in Central Texas!

Indeed.  We're in the sweet spot of Texas weather.

Well La-dee-freakin-da!

Hmmm, a little left over Tuesday bile, I see.

Yeah like it is our fault dumbasses choose to live up there!

Some wars are won/lost but never ended!     You can't deny that by most standards we have better weather though!

True but your accents are horrendous

And yours are not??  We also got a hell of a lot better looking women too!

You mean those phoney pageant women?

Nope I mean those natural mega hot young women sitting in the stands on the southern school's sides!

+1  There is a reason I went south for school.  I ain't as dumb as I look.

Mississippi may be on top of the world now as it pertains to football, but that isn't what brings most of the 'students' to campus... It's the eye candy.

Damn, ya know I never even thought of that.  And I keep a frosty mug in my freezer too.
