They suck. There's a trend for ya....the Eagles are sucking.

Trend?  Or the Base State??? 

(I'm not one to talk, as a Cleveland sports fan, where the base state is always "sucks!" )

Wow, FSU is just plain awful.  They should just forfeit the 2nd half rather than allow UGA to score another 42 or more points.  I say this as an FSU grad (for graduate school).  Honestly, they deserve a triple ass-kicking after some 20 of their players decided to "opt out" of playing in the Orange Bowl, either by going into the NFL draft early or into the "transfer pool."  I get that there's hard feeling after being snubbed for the final 4 playoff teams, but come on, stick with the team for a high-end bowl game rather than deplete what you have and get embarrassed on the field.  Obviously without injured QB Jordan Travis they're not the same team already.  But they surely would have been able to compete and stick with UGA if all those other players didn't run off in the last two weeks.  UGA is playing against a 3rd string team at this point.

Which begs the question...if all the 4 playoff teams end up with one loss, would one actually be able to consider UGA for the Nat'l Champion despite not being in those playoff games?  I'm far from a UGA fan, but you do have to wonder.

For now, I'm all in for Michigan to win it all...Go Blue!!!

That's how I took what he said...but sometimes it's hard to translate "Chuck" into human language 

Sorry for my mistake... 

Sadly, Google translate doesn't help with that.  There's no "Chuck to English" option!!!!  But hieroglyphics works.

People like to complain in the busiest thread so it won’t matter

Right, and instead of 300+ hour ops GFS plots that look like crap, we get 72+ hour NAM plots that are the equivalent in the short range!!!  Bring on the CRAS and (now defunct) DGEX!!!!

can we add a rage room where we can insult each other with like "you momma so fat" jokes

Damn, the Panic Room has really devolved, hasn't it?!?!

I think we used to do this? Or tried it. Problem is people still end up posting in the wrong thread due to confusion of what belongs where. I like the idea, but I think it probably becomes a headache to moderate, constantly having to move posts.

Yeah, we had done this before, but typically we had a "short range" or "threat" thread when there was something that was reasonably assessed to be quite likely to occur.  I'd defer a "threat" thread until we actually really have something that shows up consistently.  I don't exactly see that right now.  Just my two copper coin's worth (not much!).

Though, as @WinterWxLuvr mentioned above, I also recall that we did have a general "short range discussion" thread too, maybe the threat stuff was separate discussions once a real storm took shape.

(ETA:  Maybe it's been so long since we had a discrete real threat that I have forgotten, LOL!!!)

Damn this forum is manic depressive asf. I mean zero disrespect to anyone who suffers from bipolar disorder but g'damn....the cold is coming, the cold is not coming, the pattern is building, the pattern is collapsing, the LR is loaded, the LR is putrid. Ffs ppl 

I know, right?!?!  Lots of chaff (BS?) to sift through in there to find any nuggets of useful information.  If you're not bipolar before reading it, you'll definitely be by the time you're done!  Or you'll at least suffer neck pain from whiplash.

I had always thought that was a Yogi Berra quote.  But apparently it has an older and richer history.

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/10/20/no-predict/

I believe Yogi Berra actually said that at some point though, even if it's not originally his?   Of course, there's always his, "It's deja vu all over again!"

I have to carve my own tombstone? Especially when I am thinking about Jumping because winter has been cancelled and the base state is like the Mount St Helens in 1980? Reaper is irresponsible. If I Jump I want a proper Reaping, and only The Reaper can do it right.

Oh no!!!  Don't tell me Jeb is turning into a jumper...Jumpin' Jebman?  So now instead of Jebwalks, we'll resort to Jebjumps???

thank god, a voice of reason to stop the cliff jumping...

Since when did a voice of reason ever stop that from happening???

Just a slight delay 

Made me think of "Major League" with..."JUUUUST a bit outside!" (JUUUUST a slight delay!)!!

The reaper needs to visit soon 

Well, @WxWatcher007 is officially retired so he won't be visiting anytime soon for the purpose of taking any souls that are crying out!  Now, the Panic Room is BYOT...bring your own tombstone, and carve it yourself!  I guess it keeps the overhead costs down.

Merry Christmas, fellow weenies!

Happy Christmas to you, and to all!!  The Reaper is celebrating in style, I understand.  Benefits of retirement, half-price Starbucks Holiday drinks to all skeletons over 500 years old!

That’s not the Christmas spirit, Clark. Have a drink, go for a walk, to bed, etc. let’s not be nasty with each other tonight. That can resume on the 26th. 

"Very well, you may take the day.  But be here all the earlier the next morning!"

Happy Christmas to all!!!  A few photos for you that I took today...

Personally I’m going full Jobu and sacrificing a bucket of fried chicken for the storm as we speak…

Good idea.  Just remember...it's very bad to steal Jobu's rum.  VERY bad!

When does one NOT think about basic wave physics? It’s 24/7 for me. 

While in college, thinking about "basic wave physics" 24/7 around finals time was a necessity!!!

Today is harvest day for my Christmas cannabis crop. I nailed the timing from back in late Aug when I started them. I wanted a Christmas harvest. The weather made this greenhouse grow pretty easy. No extreme cold. I hardly had to use the propane heat. This next round might be more challenging since it will be deep winter. Challenging is fun, so it should be interesting. 

I guess Santa's going to have a little extra in his cookies (brownies?  gummies?) at your place when he stops by tonight!!

No. Every winter season on this board there is at least one poster that triggers folks to react in a strong way and sometimes it goes as far as community members ganging up on the bad poster. Last year it was a random poster from the southeast PA area that started posting in our sub (I don’t remember the user name). I guess it’s stormy this year.

Ha!  Kind of reminds me of Obi-Wan Kenobi's quote, "Who's the more foolish...the fool, or the fool who follows him?"

Tired of reading shit posts from shit posters, just stay out of the long range thread and be surprised when it snows 

Amen!  Thanks for the breath of sanity!!

I agree although 99% of the posters in the NYC forum could give him a run for his money 

So you have your own "Ji's" in there as well, eh??
