OMG KB13.. that`s absolutely hysterical!! Thanks for sharing that.
-
The Escalator Fail would have been great... if the guy just started screaming ``OMG I can`t feel my legs!!`` :-)

What the hell kind of test is that, anyways? "What looks like half an apple?", seriously? Whoever created that exam deserved those answers.
Regardless of the questions themselves... think about the collection of questions and if there's any semblance of congruency that might resemble a specific class or academic curriculum :-)
The internet now seems to be more about gaining some notoriety.... by any means possible :-)

As a Knicks fan... I`m now hoping the Knicks lose this game. D`Antoni has to go... holy crap this is awful. He had an excuse built in for the first few years because the roster was lacking. He said the team didn`t have talent. Now, it has talent and it`s worse. What a freaking terrible coach.

The grey face mask rubs me the wrong way.
That's what she said.

I think some of you are really missing the boat on this thread.... and have used the thread as an excuse to post random photos.

Hey I'm O's fan, that's a different kind of dumb!
LMAo. nice.

So, Red Sox/Phillies World Series anyone? I'm just glad Lee didn't sign with the Yankees. Shows that money isn't everything.
Says a BoSox fan whose team just signed Crawford for $142 million..... a number higher than what the Yankees offered Lee.

BoSox fans crack me up. Seriously. You're all just dumb.

I mean, for us non-Yankee fans, can't we go back to the Pavano-esque days?:pfft:
Cashman is running the show now... and he's intent on doing things the right way. Building up the farm system... signing FA's when available... and an emphasis on pitching.
They turned it around.
and the Knicks will turn it around too :-) Just as my Redskins have done.

But Werth would have been a fix for this seasons (minor) weaknesses,
Werth is 31 years old this year... and a free agent after the season. Not a guy you want to invest heavy dollars in.
Crawford is 28 this year... and he wants to come to the Yanks. and he adds power and speed.
Imagine Gardner and Crawford in the same lineup?
-
But they could have added him this year and flipped Vasquez to the Phils for Werth to add to some wood to the OF.
You don't think they're going to sign Carl Crawford (Rays) in the offseason?
-
They are crazy. You get Lee and Sabathia on the same rotation and you have two wins out of four in a best of seven. I never heard anybody say great catching wins championships. Now I know a catcher can call a good game, but the pitcher has to execute. And when they do, their team usually wins.
Yes, so crazy. Using the same philosophy that prevented them from trading for Johan Santana... allowed them to keep Phil Hughes, sign CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett as FA's.. and win a World Series.
People are just haters.
You laugh at the Yankees when they were continually trading prospects for players and losing. And then you laugh at the Yankees for not doing that.
-
alot of yankee fans are happy this deal fell through. they don't want to lose Montero, especially when their rotation is already strong as is.
It's a win-win for the Yanks.
They didn't give up their prized prospect... and they got the Rangers -- and not the Rays -- to pony up. As if the Rangers are a threat to the Yanks in the post-season.
Is there any doubt that he's a Yankee next year? They didn't go through all that.... by offering Montero... without serious interest in acquiring him AND giving him a huge contract. He's as good as ours next offseason.
Now, if we can only convince Pettitte to stick around. He's been phenomenal the past few years... I'm not sure how he can hang it up right now considering how dominating he's become so late in his career.
-
Not sure why the Yanks want Lee so bad. Seems like Montero could be the real deal and with Posada coming to the end of his career, I think it would be tough to trade a solid young catcher. I don't think they need Lee to win, they proved that last season.
I'm torn. He'd definitely improve the rotation. And they'll have to trade Vasquez.
But maybe they're going back to the formula that wins games/championships. Their offensive guys are putting up very low numbers this year.. and they're still the best team in baseball.
Why? Pitching.
If you have great pitching... there's enough offense on the roster to get enough runs to win ball games.
I wouldn't do it though... but I can understand. I just wouldn't necessarily approve.

A local friend of mine "liked" a photographer on facebook. I'm looking for a professional photographer... so I decided to check out his work. Apparently, he likes to photograph body-building competitions... but this photo caught me off guard and made me LOL. So I thought I'd share.

...but we do have the cheerleader pics mega thread....
Amazing that people haven't clued in.
Some members can difficult. No matters how many times it was stated to keep it clean..... no matter how explicit the directions were for the limitations of the photos.... it would go without fail that some member would test the limits and post topless women, see-through clothing (top and bottom), g-strings, etc.
We all know there's porn on the internet and we know how to find it. It should have been obvious to anyone with a single brain cell what was appropriate and what wasn't.
Apparently, some members are too dense.
Moderating is a volunteer service.... and in a perfect situation.... there would be minimal effort required with the hopes that the community would police itself.
But when you give a toy bb gun to a child... and you tell them to shoot ONLY specific targets and yet they continually shoot their peers in the face... eventually you decide to simply take the bb gun away rather than waste your time driving kids to the ER every day. Not any more complicated than that.

Did one of you founders ever work at MCI/WorldCom?
Back in the day (probably 2002ish), I went to a Wizards game and sat in the MCI/WorldCom box at MCI Center. Conversations turned to the Redskins, and a blonde haired kid who was in the box with us said he started a site called extremeskins.com. Ring a bell anyone?
No.
There's a picture of the group of 7 of us in the history thread.... none of us were young or blonde

Still blaming me for the losses?
On the season.... we go 9-0 without you there. 0-2 when you are in attendance. Both teams we lost to.... we beat twice each during the course of the season. Not only did we beat them twice each... but we destroyed them in all 4 of those games.
You figure it out
The league made some big offseason changes. Though I'm inclined to retire... I know I'll have an all-star fullback and tailback that will destroy the league next year... as well as 3 returning offensive linemen. The temptation is there... but it'll be a hard sell with the wife.
But I am enjoying the BJJ training... as so is Liam. And it's about time I spend some time on myself... than continually giving it to others

I think I remember pissing you off or dissapointing you a few times as a new mod, I'm not sure.
There isn't a mod/staff member who hasn't disappointed me or pissed me off at least once
I had a lot invested in ES (money, time, etc).... it was my baby... one of the few things in life that I held some ownership in.... so yes, I had certain expectations and visions for it.And Eric and I did encourage our staff to take ownership... and we valued your feedback. Even when it came at our own expense, though begrudgingly.
And I can honestly say I'm still the same person today as I was back then. I never changed -- which is a large part of what gets me in trouble
It was a difficult decision to part ways with something I invested so much in.... but it was the right decision. And no regrets.
I've applied that same passion and commitment to other endeavors in my life.... and it's given me just as much frustration and fulfillment as ES.com.
I seem to have a 5-year attention span
First with coaching football and now with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And only the latter has actually been good for my health -

I have witnessed a great deal, been confided in a great deal, and accumulated (saved) extensive data (much of it quite salacious, provocative, and downright “OMG”, involving many “big names”) for an insider tell-all that I will release when I am done on ES.
:evilg: Fortunately, Jumbo joined the staff AFTER I left
But I don't live with regrets.... and I stand by anything I've ever said and done.

It's been my pleasure. It was fun!
And thank YOU.
And to be fully thorough, the story wouldn't be complete without the backstory behind the official ExtremeSkins tailgate.... for which you need to speak with Pez/Huly. I think that's an important part of the site history.

Would Bang have done that? It has a Bang look about it.
Yes, he did.

DH - I already have some of that stuff in the OP that I added this morning.
Some I don't though.
And check out the graphics on this bad boy: http://web.archive.org/web/20031020103842/http://www.extremeskins.com/
THANKS
And the "Pick'em Contest" and "The Man" contest.... both popular contests which were eventually automated.
So many great features.... so much blood, sweat, tears... so much useful code.... gone to rest into the internet wasteland.
Sad reminder.

Nothing special.... too many missed open-field tackles!!
