So yes, I'm watching lots of college and pro football this October.

I am sooooo disappointed in you. This isn't like you.

Given the affiliation of all about you, that alone is reason enough to remain a Phillies Fan

Bull, you are missing a golden opportunity to vex not only your spouse, but all your in-laws!

You may not get another opportunity like this for decades! Or if we're lucky, the Yanks will suck again next year.

At the very least, you should watch every game of the the NLCS, and once an inning exclaim "Joe Torre is a genius. What bunch of idiots would ever let him go?"

No no, you need to understand that they hate that Joe was let go (as do I), so watching for the purpose of supporting Joe is a GOOD thing.

I have pissed-off in-laws in several States, and have decided that it is time to back the attack for a while. Besides, my Mother-in law has been exiled to Texas (just up the road from VR), along with the dreaded older sister of Mrs. Bull, and we have not communicated with either of them for over 8 years (wife's choice). I'm talking about the brother who is an Opthamologist (free eye exams and glasses at cost, etc.) as well as the fun Nephews (with beach houses and mountain retreats). There is a reason for everything!

In that case, perfectly understandable.

Is the Mother-in-law better armed than VR, or just meaner?

I could save the $20 and drink the latte myself....but, as long as they stay in Texas, I'm happy!

VR would have no hope!

Every time I see one of those Halloween decorations where the witch is depicted as having flown face first into a tree, I get a big smile on my face......

Please tell me that you took that photo yourself....and it was near Fredricksburg.

You can lower that price down again now. Monday, a gallon of regular 87 octane gas was $2.61/gal cash, $2.67/gal credit near our warehouse.

Trust me 8 more is not going to help. "Thank you sir! May I have another?"

Can I recomend an over the counter decongestent to make you clearer. Ether that or pull VR's finger.
