If you share a computer keyboard with anyone, they have probably already been typing while picking their noses. So, wipe it off as best you can, and just be glad it’s your own germs. (I share a computer with my husband; so I try not to think of the horrors of fingers that just picked ticks off and petted the dogs happily spreading ecoli on the keys where later my innocent fingers have to hit.)

You guys know darn well that the term “gridiron” in the U.S. refers to football, albeit rarely used used as a substitute noun itself. Rather, it is often used as a substitute adjective.
For example, NFL Films' production of "Gridiron Glory", and the recent film "The Gridiron Gang."
Now, can anyone tell me WHY the word "gridiron" refers to the game of American football?
To: Twinkie
I like the way you think.
I think.
To: FroedrickVonFreepenstein
Okay. I’d love to see a reference anywhere of a player telling someone he plays gridiron.

He does look a bit like the old girl. Sounds like he has some of her fortitude as well.

Only the brits could make a football play sound gay. Just as the Swedes are the only people who can truly succeed at making sex a boring subject, so can the English make even the most masculine pursuit sound poofy...

Another note: Pennsylvania seems to be split between Stiller country and Iggles country. Are they allergic to the letter E?
Now that you mention that, I have to say that perhaps my neck of the woods has an aversion to the letter “A”. As with the aforementioned “wooder” instead of “water”, Washington DC. is somehow “Worshington DC”. This topic probably deserves a thread of it’s own because you can drive an hour south of here and hear a southern accent that you’ll almost need an interpreter to understand( and I used to work in Louisiana,Mississipi, Alabama ...etc, no problem understanding anyone except for Cajuns’, love em’ by the way) Drive an hour north and they sound like Myron Cope. The funniest accent I ever heard was from Minnesooota though. Cooooopuns. LOL!
To: basil
Then you’re the one to ask. Is Lake Travis going to be a 5A school next year? What about Connally and Vista Ridge?

My home town was the runner up. Such a sad loss for us, but congratulations to your team. We went to the game, very cold and windy.
To: mtbopfuyn
I don’t think Lake Travis will get big enough. There’s a lot of growth around here, but most if it is in another close school district.
