In the hour it's taken me to compose this tome, Dick has probably already posted and slipped into his afternoon nap.

Pretty damn close there, old timer. It's a question of do I nap before or after mowing my lawn and straightening my "KEEP OFF THE GRASS!" sign.

You can do whatever you damn well please. You kids always do, no matter what I say.

Maybe a little punctuation now and then?

It wouldn't kill you!

And now to the meat of the matter.

I was tired of that cheap bastard Cali_Guy making a vFortune from the rumored violations thread will all its diversions, hijackings and derailments.

I was thinking along the line of IE IE (Irish Envy Irish Epicurious). My notion being that it would be a place to wage burger battles, debate dry rub vs marinade, post recipes, pics, discuss the merits and demerits of carnivore, herbivore, omnivore and whatevervore.

I'm pretty sure that it would be doomed to failure, though, since such a dedicated thread would take the fun out of it.

I just wanted to start something that might pad my vIRA.

That's what I did.

Well that, and provide a "LITTLE HELP!"



BTW, cooking, cooking out, food drink, and recipes are already somebody else' stood bowl.

There really needs to be a dick reference in here too.

Thank's for being my straight man and setting that up.

I'm all for this thread dshans...shortly after you started it we landed Asmar. Coincidence? I think not! Keep the positive mojo going.

But are you man enough to handle a responsibility that big?

Late but Oxford comma all day.

 

[dshans]

Late but Oxford comma all day.

Misplaced (Oxforfd or otherwise) comma.

In the first example the comma after" JFK" clouds rather than clarifies the issue .

In the second example the comma is ludicrously unnecessary.

Sorry dshans, I make my lists in whatever order I deem ecessary and the Oxford Comma saves me the trouble of having to defog my thoughts.

Also I think it does in fact provide clarity if multiple different/separate objects are being used in the sentence.

 

[dshans]

To further pontificate in the interest of clarity ---

The whole matter could be clear as a bell if it read "We invited the strippers as well as JFK and Stalin."

Punctuation is not a panacea. A paucity of words is not always desirable.

Points well taken. Mayhap I overuse them or use them improperly or capriciously, but there are such things as colons, semicolons, hyphens, ellipses and such.

Oops. I neglected the Oxford comma following "ellipses" and "and such.


Confusion rains/reins/reigns!





You realize that this is all good fun, don't you? Do I really need to insert some emoticonny thing, add "LOL" or "j/k?"





¿Comprende vous?

you would rather add extra words than a comma?

 

[dshans]

you would rather add extra words than a comma?

In a word? Yes.

Hell, just read some philosophy, theology or legalese.

It all be in the verbiage!



Or make it purty or confussional enuf to sound good and pass mustard.

My vocabulary is serviceable but my grammar lacks. I know this. Just Joshin ya good sir.

I was at the Meadowlands that night in '89. I grew up about 10 minutes away. I got to see the game from the NJS&EA's Chairman's box (My brother's connection not mine). When the Chairman heard I had never met Lou, he arranged it. That was my highlight. If I knew about you then, I would have asked Lou to sign a hat for you, as well, as mine.

As for the game ALL ND.

UVA had a good team, they ended up in the Top 20 in both Final Polls that year but the Front Seven with Zorich and Bolcar ate the Cavs alive. When UVA tried to throw, it seemed Lyght and Company had almost as many INTs as Moore had completions. On offense Lou pounded about a dozen different RBs at UVA. When UVA crowded the line, Rice went over their heads to Rocket and Watters. ND was up by over 30 to zip at the half. Lou could have put up 60 but he cleared the bench in the 3rd quarter.

At least 25 maybe 30 Irish that played that night were eventually drafted by the NFL. The players were all Vinny Cerrato's, 4 classes worth. I would be hard pressed to put any of today's starting 22 on the two deep for that game. Jaylon would have the best shot and that would be a fight. Brindza would kick off (if he made the bus) but the rest of the kicking would be Hentrich's. None of the current backfield QB, RB, Slot would be better than 3rd team. The talent was that deep.


Reps Kaneyoufeelit, for making me re-feelit.

Check your PMs

Amazing!

I would love to watch some of the older games and see how good the teams were. I may need to speak with Acamp about this.

Can't bring myself to do that. It just doesn't look right.

Since this is a dshans thread... how about that Oxford Comma? I'm for it, personally.

Pro Oxford comma. #teamoxford

Haha, the way you feel about "dshans's" is exactly how I feel about the Oxford comma. I can't do it. It just doesn't look right.

It's funny ... in both cases the more logical rule is the one that doesn't look right. Shows how screwed up grammar is.

I will end you.

You can do whatever you damn well please. You kids always do, no matter what I say.

The Irish didn't lose a game until I was 4.

Hornung could do it all, run, pass, kickoff, XPs, and snare INTS of defense.

60 minute men.

I saw ND end OU's 47 game winning streak on TV in '57 and carry Terry Brennan off the field on the players shoulders. The next year he was fired.

From 1959 through 1963 the ND offense allowed more points each year than the offense scored.

I "watched" Lindsey Nelson.

#44, under Brennan's left leg is my grandfather.
