M. Leary Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 hey, is that anything like a cineplex? or maybe I should say SINeplex!! is this the new CANFaSDBG motto?

Thom Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 (M)Leary - you know we would have to bring it before the board for review and then vote on it. Of course the present acting president would overrule anyway. Quote ...the kind of film criticism we do.

M. Leary Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Well, not really. See, President Buck literally is the acting president which leaves the position of motto decision president open. Since I discovered it, I immediately claim it.

Rich Kennedy Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 From my wanderings around the Carolinas: in Rural Hall, NC: Is your life wasted? God recycles. WOW. Rural Hall! I lived near there when I was a kid, between Winston-Salem and Clemmonsville. RH was a little farther out. Quote "During the contest trial, the Coleman team presented evidence of a further 6500 absentees that it felt deserved to be included under the process that had produced the prior 933 [submitted by Franken, rk]. The three judges finally defined what constituted a 'legal' absentee ballot. Countable ballots, for instance, had to contain the signature of the voter, complete registration information, and proper witness credentials.But the panel only applied the standards going forward, severely reducing the universe of additional basentees the Coleman team could hope to have included. In the end, the three judges allowed about 350 additional absentees to be counted. The panel also did nothing about the hundreds, possibly thousands, of absentees that have already been legally included, yet are now 'illegal' according to the panel's own ex-post definition."

MattPage Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I suspect that this won't make any sense to most of you but in keeping with the rugby world cup a church near me has resorted to "If rugby is your religion...convert!"

Darrel Manson Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 \"If rugby is your religion...convert!\" Change rugby to football and put that sign in Texas and the church would likely be torched.

DanBuck Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Something's missing from our Ch--ch (Orlando, Florida) Everytime I went by it I mentally filled in the blank and felt dumber.

Darrel Manson Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 PS Darrel. Do they have \"conversions\" in American Football? That's why the sign writer thinks its funny.After a touchdown, the ball is placed on the two or three yard line (2 in college, 3 in NFL) and the scoring team gets one down to add 1 (by kicking a field goal or [excedeingly rare]scoring a safety) or 2 points (for a touchdown), thus "converting" a TD from 6 point to 7 (or 8 ). Technical term is not conversion, rather, "Try for point." But conversion is popular usage. The stat is usually listed as PAT (points after touchdown).
