That's all I meant it as, a giggle. Anyone who took it otherwise is taking the internet way too seriously. Back to baking, anybody here a fan of biscuits? I am. Fresh buttery biscuits out of the oven with some honey or fresh strawberry or blackberry preserves...mmmm, heaven. Found a weird recipe that included 7-Up that I am curious to try. Cake, Pie, or Tart? Which is your preference and why? Each has their pluses and minuses (has anyone ever found a true fool-proof pie-crust recipe?). Also, does your preference differ depending on whether we are talking about eating or making said desserts? Last question: Cheesecake...is it cake or pie?

Hahaha! My sister-in-law watches one of those Real Housewives shows...can't remember if it was New Jersey or Miami...and when she was flipping by the channels I saw that show you mentioned, too! It's called Extreme Cougar Wives and it is on TLC. What exactly TLC expects us to learn from that show is a mystery. Meanwhile, JTM, what is the 'Dave' channel?

Okay, we'll be looking for #32 in the crowd on Sunday. Will you be wearing a Bills or Orioles cap? Or dare I say, a Sabres cap?

^^^ I like the Raiders to win, too...but I'm not laying 7 points.

I'll wait til I get a better picture of the injury report. I hear Reggie Bush may be questionable for this week...that makes a big difference in whether I pick Detroit or Arizona.

The Chris Davis one? I'm counting on your Bills to come thru, Rick!

My thanks to the Management. Lot of scary games this week, but with my second life, I'll tread a little more carefully. 1000 Carolina -3 @ Buffalo 250 Buffalo

^^^ Not sure about that...with a short week it might be closer than you think. I think New England will win but the spread is 12.5...not willing to concede that many points.

I'm trying to encourage people to participate. So am I back at square one or at zero points or where?

Come on man, you've got 27 already.

I thought Reggie Bush would be a great pickup for Detroit and he definitely helped them Sunday. On a yards per touch basis, he played better than Adrian Peterson. Now to see how real Detroit is when they go on the road to Arizona. Speaking of real vs. mirage...is Oakland really better than we thought or is Indianapolis not as good as advertised? Maybe a little of both. I had Oakland pegged at 4-12 this season and one of those four victories should come this week in the form of Jacksonville. After KC rolled the Jaguars, if the Raiders don't do the same at home, all the optimism from last Sunday's performance will dissipate and it'll be 'Same old Raiders' again. I didn't watch any of the MNF games, so I've no idea about the Iggles, Taters, Texans yet. I know I'm not the only one who expected the Texans to whoop the Chargers, and was mildly disappointed with the score.

+1

SWEEP THE YANKS! Come on, O's...if ever there was a time to sweep a team, that time is now.

You will find that, unlike most adaptations of books, they stayed pretty true to the text and include large swathes of the book verbatim in the film. "We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold." Reggie, if you're out there, I owe you an apology. On second thought and second viewing, it turns out you're right about Morgan Spurlock. His documentaries do tend to pander and state the obvious. Now he has sunk to the level of making a hagiography of the boy band One Direction.

At least they won for you, Chuck. Was babysitting all day, so I'm only now able to compile everyone's picks. Here are the first week's results... WEEK 1 paul carruthers 9-7 jabe 8-8 LedZeppfan77 10-6 Strider 13-3 DAS 11-5 Walter 9-7 Defending Champion jb126 12-4

Maybe it's "of course" for you, but for most of us, if you mention a Robert when talking about actors, we're going to think of Robert DeNiro or Robert Mitchum, etc. It helps to be clear.

Is it too much to ask for you to comprehend your own post? I know you said Clint Eastwood...that wasn't what I was asking. You also mentioned a 'Robert' in your post and I was asking which Robert you were referring to?

I wonder if it was ZZ Ward?

Dallas wins...that Pick 6 clinches the victory. 12-2 going into Monday night's games.

^^^ His acting, his hair...

So very true, Reggie. In fact, most "Best city/state/country'" statements are debatable at best, and a waste of time... ...however, I'll definitely take Sydney over Tokyo.

11-2 so far...and I've got Dallas, too, Paul, so we can worry together.

^^^ One classic...one not so much.

^^^ Always love watching that one. Great footage of the Monterey Jazz Festival and use of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Are you referring to Robert De Niro or Robert Redford or Robert Plant? Or possibly Robert Duvall? Robert Blake? The possibilities are endless.
