With the garbage we're putting on the field I'm welcoming it!!! Plus I'm at work so this gives me time to get home and watch it.
I times a meeting to be just after the game. With my luck the game will restart right when my meeting starts.

Odds are more likely to die in a car accident, but people don't avoid driving because of it.
I’ve seen a guy who was “struck” by lightning. I guess hit the ground 20 feet from him and he was in the hospital for over a month and he wasn’t right years later.

The only thing worse than grits or dipping one's balls in grits would be grits after ODD dipped his balls in the grits! Yuck! I am already a "Do not like" grits guy. Now, I have an even worse picture in my head.
@OldDevilDawg’s so old he’s gotta move his balls outta the way every time he takes a shit.

But if there is a big pile up in front of you, you slow down and pull over not keep on going full speed ahead. Better safe than sorry IMO.

Driving skillz matter

I haven't been right in decades but all I got to blame it on is the Aliens. :ohwell:

I write and throw a frisbee with my left hand. Everything else is righty.

I eat, shoot pool and shoot a rifle Lefty. I'm left eye dominant.....ie "cross dominant" since I'm otherwise right handed.

I'll soon be 54 and I've never heard of such......ever.

This "Weather Delay" bullshit is annoying as hell.

The Boise State-Boston College First Responder Bowl was canceled at about 2:20 p.m. Central (1:20 p.m. Mountain) because of lightning. The game had been delayed for 1 hour, 21 minutes because of lightning and the weather was expected to be bad most of the day.

The game is officially a “no contest.”

I was driving down the road on a tractor with a friend in high school when we got hit by lightening. I DO NOT recommend it. Best as we could tell, the strike hit the umbrella stand and it knocked the hell out of us. I got the tractor stopped and the disc I was pulling was damn near up in the fender because I also ran into the ditch. From then on I don't jack with lightening. If I see it anywhere, I'm extra careful.

There was a guy who worked for the U.S. Forest Service in Idaho back in the day who got struck on two separate occasions. The second time killed hm.

My sophomore year one of our receivers got struck by lightening during practice. When it hit him it sounded like a bomb going off. Scared the hell out of me and actually blew the soles off his cleats. Needless to say he was out for the season. Damn near killed him.

My first job, I was a life guard. We had a thunder storm and they told me I had to go to the top of a water slide to cut down an umbrella that had been duct taped up there because “it would get ruined in the rain.” So I went to the top of a lightning rod to cut off a lightning rod. Lightning hit the beach 50 yards away. I threw the umbrella into the pool went down the slide, stopped before hitting the water, mother fucked every one of them for telling me to do it.

Still better than picking up used condoms and telling people to stop having sex in a public pool.

I write with my right hand. I can throw with either hand just as good as the other. Pretty much everything else, I do lefty(get your mind out of the gutter).

When the internet came out I learned to jerk off with my left hand.
