So TBL guys teabagged each other and pissed in each other’s beds in college? USF and Slippery Rock are my guesses.

Not sure if this is Duckworth’d, but just got this email from WaPo about the Skins bounty system:

Am I interpreting it wrong? USA Today just bought a sports blog and is making all their sports people re-apply for their own jobs at lower salary?

My guess would be that they’re referring to their direct staff, the writers in their papers and on their websites.

usa today is a newspaper biz at its heart and you know how that niche has done the past decade. my ‘guy’ at usa today who gave me freelance assignments was laid off last year, and before his layoff their freelance budget dried up. last usat byline? 2007

It sounded like it was underway before the recent acquisition of FSV. But what do I know. Certainly not enough to have pulled in low seven figures at any point in my life this far.

Well yeah, it does that when I comment too. I’m just saying that sometimes I refresh to see if others have said anything else, and it also allows me to see her more.

I don’t know what about that inspires a ‘whoa’, but no I haven’t seen it discussed.

That sounds pretty nice vez. I’ve only been to Yosemite once and I loved it. I brought my bike with me and just cruised all over that place, it was amazing. I went in February too, so there was still some snow melting which led to seeing a lot of waterfalls.

oh, and if it ain’t the mountains and wildflowers and color of the lakes during the day, the stars at night, in the middle of the wilderness are mindblowing….a fucking carpet of them and the sky is like a dome

Oh and btw, I’m not leaving this thread as long as the lovely Kate Upton keeps showing up every time I refresh.

That’s some cold ass fucking water up there, even in the middle of summer.

snow melt. the NOLS thing I told ms about…lots of chances to jump in mountain streams and lakes that were freezing in june/july (wyoming’s wind river range). god damn, there is no feeling like jumping in near-freezing water, you actually are surprised that your heart doesn;t stop

i don’t care one way or the other (i’m no wwos), but how in the world do you type took when you mean steak? maybe from a phone, but a keyboard?

Nope, still at work. No idea how I managed to do that.
