I think Colt fans tend to forget Payton's first few season's weren't spectacular, it took him till about year 6 to really establish himself as an elite QB, his first 5 yrs. in the league he averaged 20 INTs a season.
Partly because my dad hates them so I grew up hating them but Billicheck drives me nuts and Brady being a big whiner doesn't help things. Their fans add to it as well.
He had a great year and not many weapons on that Colt's offense. He's got what it takes I think.

I'm not saying I expect him to go out and break tons of records or anything like that right away but 8 INT's in 2 games, in the playoffs no less is horrible.

I agree he had a good year and was down one of his best weapons in Reggie Wayne but he still had a horrible game.

Yes, he had a horrible playoffs, but he had moments of brilliance in there. Let's also not forget he went up against an excellent defense in KC, and one of the greatest defensive thinkers in football history in Belichick.
I have respect for the Patriots, it's why I have no problem admitting both Belichick and Brady are easily future Hall Of Famers and great at what they do. I flat out don't like them at all though.

I didn't mean to imply that you didn't, but I can see why it came off that way. Yeah, I hate to admit it too, but they're both two of the best ever at their positions.
Colts fans should be happy they made it that far. Last week they needed a the cheifs to lose half their players to win and the cheifs are extremely average for a playoff team. It was unrealistic to expect them to get much farther.

I suppose excellent was a bit of hyperbole, but I think they're better than you give them credit for. At the very least you have to acknowledge that they have a few top caliber players on that side of the ball.
I'm having a real shitty Monday. I was supposed to have a meeting about taking some pictures and video for a pizza place, but the owner blew me off. That especially sucked since I had to drive about half an hour out of the city just to get there, meaning I spent an hour of my day just to get ditched by this guy. Then I go to pick up a prescription at CVS and I get charged four times more than what I usually pay for it, so now I have to call my insurance provider to find out why. This is the second time I'm going to have to deal with them in four days, and it's always a pain in the ass.
I was thinking about seeing if I could get another job interview with the mental hospital I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, but now I'm not so sure I should go for it. In addition to the fact this week is off to a shitty start, it's only been two weeks since I last smoked weed, and I'm not sure it's out of my system yet. Maybe I'll buy a drug test from the Rite Aid tomorrow and see how that works.
This has just been a shit show of a day for me as well.
First I get my boss talking to me in a way I didn't appreciate, showed a real lack of respect towards me.
Hurried up and recorded an instructional video for how to use a Chromecast. Probably going to be shit but I don' care at this point.
Get back, get every single fucking problem thrown my way while trying to create two PDF forms that painstakingly slow to do. Lunch break finally comes and three emails from my boss regarding issues during break for me to check on. Get back, now on the line with an installer saying my department fucked something up for him when not one single one of us has even had a chance to look at his issue, nor do we have the power or ability to "fuck it up" as he puts it.
I don't think I've ever wanted to stab someone in throat so badly before, but I'm getting close.

It sounds like your day was going shitty before lunch even started. That sucks. At least it's almost over, and then you can go home where you can stab whoever you want in the throat without having to worry about getting fired from your job.
I'd also like to add to my list of complaints: apparently my phone can't make phone calls anymore. Every time I dial a number and hit the call button the number disappears and my phone acts like nothing happens. I'd go to the Verizon store and get the upgrade that I'm scheduled for, but apparently I'm trying to get off of my parent's cell phone plan, and in order to do that I need to wait until my contract expires in 6 months and not upgrade my phone before then.
I kind of want to go into cryogenesis and wake up when all my problems have disappeared. Is that a realistic option?
Normally, I just have a sandwich for lunch, but today, I had planned in advance to grab a McDonalds as my friends wanted to meet me there. It was pouring outside, but thankfully, I had my raincoat on, so I was relatively dry. I arrive at McDonalds to find one of my friends and some random chav (about mid 20's) having a fight in the middle of McDonalds, in the plain sight of young children of all things. My friend managed to take the chav off his feet before me and another friend (who had been lackadaisically glancing at the occurrence until I told him to help me) had to hold him back, which resulted in all four of us getting asked to leave.
The rain had began to settle down by then, which allowed me to make the stupid decision of not wearing a coat. As the 3 of us walked back to my friends dorm to talk about it, guess who passes us in their car? The toss bucket accelerates when he sees us with the sole intention to drench us with a nearby puddle. He succeeds, and despite a trio of middle fingers, he didn't stop.
A shower thankfully prevented hypothermia or anything of the sort. According to my friend, the whole thing started over him jumping people in the queue, some of them again children that experienced the fight. It amazes me how fucking ignorant some people are.

What you can do is called an Assumption of Liability. Basically your parents would need to call Verizon and give permission to hand ownership of your line over to you. You then go in and complete the process and create an account where your line gets transferred over to you. This doesn't have to be when the contract is up as I've done this when I took my number from my parents, and it was done a second time when my company took over my line:
Assumption of Liability
I want to transfer my account to a friend or family member. Is this possible?
Yes, Assumption of Liability (AOL) is a process that allows you to transfer the control of your account to another person. AOL also enables you to assume responsibility for another persons account, such as a spouse, child, parent or friend.
To find out if you are eligible to participate in an AOL process, please review the Assumption of Liability requirements .
What are the requirements for transferring my account to a friend or family member?
This is a process known as Assumption of Liability (AOL). In order to perform an AOL, all of the following requirements must be met:
Current Account Owner
You must ensure that the balance on the account you want to transfer is current. You will continue to be responsible for account charges until the transfer has been completed.
If the line you are transferring is the primary line on a Family SharePlan® or the only secondary line on a Family SharePlan, the remaining line(s) must be placed on eligible calling plans prior to processing the account transfer. Please contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 for assistance.
You must contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 to authorize the account transfer and provide the name of the person who will be taking over the account.
New Account Owner (person taking over responsibility for the account)
You must read and agree to the Verizon Wireless Customer Agreement Terms and Conditions prior to assuming responsibility for the account.
If the line you are taking over is being added to an existing Verizon Wireless account, your account must be current.
If you agree to the Customer Agreement Terms and Conditions and up to a one-year contract term, you must contact the Assumption of Liability Department at (888) 832-4540. A representative will assist you with completing the AOL request.
Note: Your service assumption will be subject to a credit check. You may be required to switch to current pricing and promotions. A security deposit may also be required.
You can then do your upgrade and be good to go. Or do the upgrade now and the Assumption of Liability later. Again, the contract doesn't need to be up in order to do this.

They have some exciting players but Johnson and Flowers are the only all around players I would call top caliber. Halo and Houston are great pass rushers but let runners by way to consistently to be considered great and their pass rush doesn't help when only one reciever is consistently covered. Berry is the most frustrating because hesm treated like the best safety in football because he is good against the run and rushing the qb, but he blows coverage all the time. If they got better corners and learned to play together they will deserve the credit they were getting but until then the cheifs won't beat any top teams.

Line cutters are the absolute worst, because there's no good way to handle it. Either you're going to make them look stupid because they didn't realize there was a line and they're going to have their feelings hurt so you look like the jerk, or they get belligerent and challenge you, and it's hard to turn away from an argument/fight where you are so obviously right.
I have two examples of something similar happening to me recently, each with a separate outcome. The first one was at a grocery store for the self-checkout lanes. There's really only one lane, but it has four machines, and everyone queues up in one line, but the line was sort of sloppy, so some lady started making a second line, and when a machine opened up she started to walk forward when an older dude yelled at her and said, "Hey, the line starts back there!" To which she replied, "I thought that there were two lines." He yelled back, "No, just this one! You're cutting!" So she slowly walked to the back of the line and apologized, explaining that there was no need to be angry. The old dude came off looking like a huge dick in that situation, but at the same time, I can understand why he reacted the way he did.
The second one was at a restaurant. I dropped my dad off at the door to reserve a table and went to park down the street as the lot was full. As I was walking into the restaurant, some couple was looking at a car that had just pulled into an illegal spot (It was right in front of the walkway to the door of the restaurant), and they were wondering if that was legal. I told them that it wasn't, and the lady just started flipping out. The driver got out of the car and she started berating him, "You're a terrible person! What if an elderly person or handicap person has to walk by your car to get in and slips and fall! You are the worst type of human being. You'll pay for this someday!" Harsh, yes, but the dude that parked there just brushed her off with an attitude of, "I can park wherever I damn well please." We left the restaurant almost right away because the wait was insane, so I didn't see how the situation was resolved, but I'd imagine that the guy got a ticket.
Nobody wins when people do things that are obviously rude, which makes it all the more perplexing why people do things like that.

That is helpful. Unfortunately, my mom is in Aruba and my dad is on a business trip in LA, so I won't be able to take care of this until Wednesday at the earliest, but I'll definitely take care of it. My phone right now works and all, and it's probably my favorite phone I've ever owned, but it's time for an upgrade.

How many defenses in the NFL have more than two or three truly top caliber players for their position? Two? Three? I get what you're saying about some people considering Houston, Halo, and Berry great when they aren't, but they are at the very least All-Pro players, and the types of guys that make the big plays that change games. If they can add another high quality DB to play on the other side of Flowers, the Chiefs are a major contender.
Today has been considerably better than yesterday. I did a photoshoot at a pizza place and the owner was super nice and she gave us a lot of the food we used for the photos, and we're going to make $200 for the whole thing. I was in such a good mood that I gave some of the leftover food to a homeless person on the drive home.

He probably threw it away when he realized there wasnt money or wine in the bag.
All seriousness though, if more people did what you did then hunger would be less of an issue. Hell, they could make it part of a city-wide ad campaign. Eat all you want & pass the rest on. Restaurants have so much wasted food it is crazy. One Italian place near work is like a homeless haven on the weekends. They take all the leftover salad, pasta & pizza and pass it out. Super cool people & its a shame other restaurants would rather throw it all away.
Was that a running gag throughout the show, or did they just decide to make one episode where they all slap each other? I only know about this from the commercial played during the Broncos/Chargers game.

Running gag. Marshall and Barney made a slap bet about something I can't remember. Through some shenanigans, Barney lost and ended up getting the choice of (these numbers might now be exactly right) 10 rapid fire slaps or 5 whenever Marshall wants to distribute them. He chose the latter, so there have been a couple episodes now where that was a focal point.

To be honest, the guy was a complete idiot. According to my friend, it was about the half the queue that he jumped as my friend was in the middle and there were kids further back in the queue. More chavs tend to come out in the night time which is a lot more dangerous, but the good news is that McDonalds has bouncers ready for those times, so less shit goes down; or in the actual restaurant area that is.
I think the first example is definitely a genuine mistake (I don't blame the guy for being annoyed, but he could have been more polite), but it pisses me off when people blindly park on disabled spaces. I only recall my parents doing it once when my dad needed to buy paracetamol for my sister when she had swine flu and Tescos was shutting. Other than that, I can't recall a time where I've seen my parents park on a disabled spot before.
Ignorant people roam this world. Seems like Cardiff has an infestation at the moment.

I needed to look up what a chav is. Thanks Urban Dictionary.
Why any able-bodied person would park in a handicap spot is beyond me. Most of the time handicap spots will save you like, a ten second walk on average. If you have ten seconds to spare, you should probably park in a regular space.
