We currently have two types of fantasy games for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL - PickTheWinner and PickTheSeries (Playoffs).
They are both Pickem style games where you compete against your friends by trying to predict the winner of each week's match ups. You can also double down on games, earn achievements, limit the number of games that participants need to predict, and more.
Create a league now and invite your friends!
It's hump day and spring training is under way for baseball. The NFL draft is just a week or two away and the NBA mid season classic provided a dunk contest with players nobody has ever heard of.
My point is that you SHOULD be watching hockey! There is no faster, more physically taxing, violent and intense game on the planet. I respect the other sports and the talent required to compete at an elite level.
Hockey incorporates the hand-eye coordination of baseball, the physical collisions of football, the perpetual motion of soccer, the hand-to-hand combat of fighting and well, virtually nothing with basketball. But I digress.
There are some key matchups this week in the NHL and every game makes a difference. Most teams are at the 17-ish game mark, which means that a third of the season is gone. The Chicago Blackhawks may not lose a game this season. Tuesday night they set an NHL record with their 17th game played without a defeat. That's impressive in any sport folks.
With an abbreviated season the games mean more, players are playing with a greater sense of urgency. Every night provides a storyline. Here are some "must see" matchups for the remainder of the week.
5. Vancouver at Detroit, Sunday-The Canucks visit the Red Wings for the first time since they snapped Detroit's 23-game home winning streak.
4. New Jersey at Washington, Saturday-With a weird shortened schedule the Capitals hos the Devils twice in three days. Familiarity breeds contempt, and the Capitals need to start winning to get out of the southeast division basement.
3. Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh, Sunday-The Penguins host a matchup of the three brightest stars in the NHL. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Steven Stamkos will let it all hang out in a crucial eastern conference match up.
2. San Jose at Chicago, Friday-The Blackhawks look to continue their historic run against the tough San Jose team that has learned how to win again.
1. Philadelphia at Pittsburgh, Wednesday-Claude Giroux and the Flyers invade the Consol Center in Pittsburgh to reacquaint themselves with Sidney Crosby and the Penguins. This is the best rivalry in the NHL today.
Good afternoon. We have 4 moneyline plays lined up for Saturday night NHL action:
The NHL has back-to-back days with twelve games around the Thanksgiving holiday, and this has been a delight for DFS hockey fans. With so many...
It's Black Friday, a day where everyone is looking for deals. This extends to daily fantasy hockey where we'll highlight some deals in FanDuel to...
Good morning. After a brief night off for American Thanksgiving NHL action returns on Friday. We are looking to get back into the profits with...

Paula Pianfetti Markley
March 9, 2010
By Contributor
Paula Pianfetti Markley died Feb. 21, 2010, after an eight-year battle with Lewy body dementia. She was 66.
A memorial will be held at 11 a.m. March 10 at St. Madeleine Sophie Catholic Church, 4400 130th Place S.E., Bellevue.
Paula was born in Denver, to Paul and Agnes Pianfetti. She has a sister, Patricia Marino, of Denver, and a brother, Phillip of Franktown, Colo. Paula attended Holy Family High School in Denver and graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Science with honors in child psychology. Paula was elected Epsilon Beta chapter president of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and belonged to the KKG Alumni groups in both Denver and Seattle.
Paula married Thomas Markley in 1965 and has a daughter Anne (Jason) Rosauer, and a son, Steven. Her six grandchildren were her greatest joy.
Paula was a wonderful mother, wife and friend. She had a gentle voice, contagious smile and warm heart. She made an impression on everyone she met. Spending time with her family, playing bridge, traveling with friends and her church community were some of the many things that made her life full.
Prior to retirement, Paula enjoyed working for Trammell Crow Co. in the Commercial Real Estate Division, where she focused on supporting Microsoft's real estate.
She spent her last two years with the best care possible. Her family would like to thank Whispering Creek Adult Family Home in Bellevue (Angelica and John Muntean and caregivers) and Pine Lake Adult Family Home in Sammamish (Vivian Pop and caregivers). They all treated Paula as part of their family and provided her such a wonderful place to call home.
Finally, to Sharon and Dave, Helen and Joe, Ann and Larry, Jan and Don, Joanne, Cathey, Janet, Judy, Pat, the Bridge Group, the Kappas, her adopted sister Sue Markley VanTassel and all her other dear friends, we believe Paula would want to say, "Thank you for making my life so happy. I'll be waiting for you."
Arrangements are entrusted to Flintoft's Funeral Home and Crematory. Call 392-6444.
Friends are invited to share memories, view photos and sign the family's online guest book at www.flintofts.com.

We're about to have a bottle rocket fight on jetskis. You have 5 minutes to get on our level.
Sorry 4 leaving u in the dumpster last night
I shouldn't have to say "get your balls off my counter" on a Wednesday.
It's one of those mornings when I woke up thinking that i really shouldn't have hooked up with my ex boyfriend's girlfriend just to prove a point.
It's been so long since i rode in a trunk. I'm riding in a trunk btw
Woke to a half burnt 20 in my pocket, covered in mud, clothes all wet, so im assuming I didn't use that 20 you gave me for a taxi
I really have to stop waking up in hot tubs on Friday mornings.
No more scars from drunken holidays, people are starting to notice.
hold on, were in the kitchen painting a yellow brick road to my vagina on my leg with black light paint.
Idgaf if he's a manwhore, he's like the mt. everest of penises. howcan I NOT try to put that inside me?
Had to awkwardly dig through all my fake ID's to get my real one so I could vote.......Model citizen over here.
I can't believe you broke a Paula dean wooden spoon over my ass
I think if I could use my boobs as a second pair of hands everything would be ok
We left an ass print on the piano.
Im celebrating the fact that the one guy who has ever denied me has just come out of the closet
I miss waking up knowing you're passed out under my bed.
I need to have sex with you on our hotel room window ledge... This is a need not a request.
Judging by my dry clothes and wet sheets, I think I might have gotten out of bed, pissed ON it, covered it up, and passed out on top of it
It's like his dick is pushing through his pants and driving him over here.
FYI the landlord called and plumbers will be tearing up the bathroom tomorrow. Apparently the tub is leaking into the apt below us so be sure to pee in the shower today.
I just did the math. 30.36% of girls I've slept with have cheated on a significant other while doing it.
Gave the kid in the wheelchair at the bus stop a beer and proceede to lift him on the bus. porch drinking brings out the best in everyone
I don't care how old I am, if it's your 21st birthday I'm going to make out with you.
No big deal, we were just two friends having sex. It's perfectly normal we don't remember. Water under the sex bridge,
I got groped on the dancefloor by both grooms. I love gay weddings
in the past 3 nights i've fucked a millionaire, a drug dealer and a civil engineer... i dont really have a "type" anymore
I can't be held responsible for my own vagina. Let's just be honest here.
I have hooked up with someone in EVERYONE OF MY CLASSES.
He decided not to draw dicks on my face when I passed out because he was afraid I'd retaliate and superglue his dick to his stomach....he knows me too well.
I need to make a 'no kissing' rule for my casual hookups during cold season...this cold is so not worth it.
security doesn't like it when we pee on cars. or maybe just not theirs?
My professor complimented me on the well drawn penis on my face then asked if I would like a seat closer to the garbage can.
Next guy we share better have a little more dignity than that
I was fucking the girl and her best friend walked in on us. She said we looked thirsty, got us a glass of water, and poured it down both of our throats. It was like... sex bottle service
Couple in the hotel room next to me keep fucking. When I hear her get close I call the room wait for them to stop and hang up. If I'm not getting any tonight then no one should.
Opened my wallet to find a slice of ham with a phone number written on it in sharpie.
That's what you get for fucking someone nicknamed "wiggle worm"
I tried carrying you from the bathroom to your bed and you begged me to bring the toilet too
And for the fourth year in a row Christmas has ended in tears, yelling and me drinking. This is officially our longest running Christmas tradition.
It reminded me of the time my mother gave my Bailey's in my stocking when I was 14.
We stole a cat. That is all you need to know.
Then you screamed "fuck her like shes not your sister tonight" at the people walking down the road.
yeah, but the likliness of me finding my husband at a party where the facebook event is titled "NEW YEARS EVE SHIT SHOW" is highly unlikely
Made a salesman quit his job, a saleswoman cry, and got a manager to half shout "fuck this"....successful drunk Christmas shopping
Just rolled over and found your boyfriend in bed with me. Is mine at your house?
I am a terrible person. This is almost as bad as when I was going to see my ex while my boyfriend was at that funeral.
You were walking around with a baby carrier pretending your vodka was a baby. You tried to get pictures on santas lap
Either way you look at it, I'm a slut. But either way I look at it, I'm having a fucking blast.
Now he's lighting his socks on fire
i woke up in the fire place with a lighter in my hand. if i would have died the night would have made up for it.
I'm handcuffed to the toilet. Don't ask
I had to close one eye to read the questions on my final this morning. That hungover.
I just got this text "hi this is Julie, I met you last night in the bathroom. You asked me to text you and remind you that you ate an entire lime, because you figured your sober self in the morning would be confused."
A hangover is a type of food poisoning. Makes me feel better about calling out of work.
we're about an hour out, how's the weather?
cloudy with a chance of strippers and cocaine, you're favorite. welcome home.
you know, even black out drunk I can always remember the exact point where I should have stopped drinking.
No, I think it was the night I threw up in her front yard. You're thinking of the time I threw up in her backyard.
i still find it in random places like a shoe or my car. that week haunts me
Dude, she puked up her Plan B, then reached in the toilet and re-swallowed it. That chick does NOT want a baby
She cut off the top of a watermelon and is now eating it with a spoon. She's more than half done.
I need to start giving them away because owning 20 dildos is never going to get me a boyfriend.
I fell alseep but then some dude picked me up. Comforter and all stuck a blunt in my mouth and carried me back downstairs because "I wasn't done partying"
I just tried to sell my homemade "lightning bolt stencil for pubes" on Etsy.
I say we get drunk before the exam tomorrow. At least then we have a valid excuse for failing.
That poor kid, I literally invited myself over and took advantage of him.
yea I'm sure he was really upset some drunk girl showed up to fuck him.
It's like playing clue with my own life. I have to piece together what I did, where I was, how I did it, and who I did it to
I'll be there in 5 min. If not, read this again.
I'm really sorry we tried to have sex on top of you last night.
frankly if you're gonna get kicked out of your place, hooking up with your gay roommate's boyfriend would be the most entertaining way to do it.
Come find me please? Im in a ditch.
My costume is made up of 4 inch heels and a firefighter costume I'm borrowing from the dramatic play area of my Pre-K classroom. I told you I could still be slutty on a teacher's salary.
All I know is that it's pretty damn mean to put a glass wall in a bar.
There's a hand-carved wooden bong in my backpack, and i really wish i could remember last night now.
Can I get a DUI with a shopping cart? I've nearly hit 2 displays and little girl...
the theme of the baby shower is Nightmare On Prego Street
He gets you donuts, dinner, and booze consistently, who cares if he's cheating
This place doesnt have redbull or serve shots. Its like they are at war with fun.
He gave me his number and said the usual call whenever you need someone but then was like... or just call me.
It involved homemade coconut rum, a waterfall, and street signs. I'll leave the rest to your capable imagination.
nothing worse than sitting down ready for a solid porn sesh to find out your internet is out. comcast owes me a handjob
Thank god i puked near the cancer center. makes me look like a chemo patient
We left the bar, went to a sex shop, bought penis shotglasses, went back to the bar and insisted that the bartender used them.
Apparently in gay bars the restroom signs are just a formality. Its a free for all in there
my math teacher staples burger king applications to failed tests
in vegas stuck in the middle of a pride right now
I never kept track of who else he slept with. You think I have the time or the energy to keep track of every dick in my life?
lets be honest. she's not NEARLY as much fun to fb creep since she got out of rehab...
Sharon took in a random bleeding stranger drunker than her, named her Nicole, and is feeding her jello shots on the toilet
oh but the power of the cock will take you to places you never been..i flew to hawaii once to sleep witha chick
we were boning in the bathroom when her boyfriend came upstairs. I wish i could remember what happened next more clearly, because it had to have been hilarious
the cop cuffed us all with 40's still taped to our hands
Well he's not exactly single.. It's like an open relationship his wife doesn't know about
You walked in with a firecracker and a doughnut then demonstrated what a lazy job he did fucking you
My male hookup buddy is gonna meet my female hookup buddy, let the awkward hookup games begin!
I think this baby is eyeing my beer
We had sex after spending two hours in the drunk tank. It was really deep and meaningful
i do some of my deepest thinking on my wednesday morning walks of shame
I love how my cats smell like pot.
It was awkward being the only one at the wedding who knows that the bride and groom met when she gave him a lap dance at a strip club
Great News, you CAN smoke bowls with a magnifying glass
I feel compelled to tell you that I woke up this morning and found an entire corn on the cob in my purse. Ive decided not to question my drunken behavior anymore, and to just accept it as my lifestyle.
Well, I can't relate. I have no idea what it feels like to withhold sex. Or have self-control in general.
he offered to walk down from the bar this morning to my house and bring me a guinness...
I have no idea. After the fireworks it all went to shit. Do you know why I woke up with a road sign?
the protein jug says add 2 scoops to your favorite beverage. guess who just found a way to make sam adams healthy? THIS GUY
Some ambulance just rolled up to this bar and this girl just hops out of the back and walks inside
Yeah it was hard to find an opportunity while fucking him to say "oh the reason my lips taste so salty is because i blew your roomate 15 minutes ago"
i have rugburns grass stains and some road rash. im an all terrain slut
It's only slutty when someone else does it. It's okay if it's us though
It honestly wasnt my fault this time. i was in shock. WHO THE FUCK OWNS A PEACOCK?!
Where'd you guys get the alcohol from?
Oh. Some homeless guy we picked up from I-70. He bought us $400 worth of alcohol in exchange for a shower.
So the girl in front of me was buying champagne too .. I wanted to be like "so are you celebrating clean test results too?"
I can hear my liver begging me not to go out tonight
The kids I taught this morning even knew i was drunk. One of them even said, and I quote, "You smell like my dad after he goes bowling."
Woke up un the hot tuv. Climbed out fo the hot tub and fell asleeo. Woke ip again in the hot tub.
debating whether or not to save the package from my first plan b pill. it would be a nice addition to any baby book.
I made the bartender pinky promise me there was still vodka in my drinks.
I'm coming over to use your dick. I need to take my aggression out on something. Hope that's cool.
I justified spending $400 stocking my bar to my sister by saying it was an investment
It wasn't until i was on my knees with three dicks in my face that i thought it might be a bad idea
I got an MIP via FUCKING HELICOPTER. Tuscaloosa police either have nothing to do or too many resources.
I truly believe that the solid foundation of any healthy relationship is a drunken one night stand so I can just get all the nasty shit out on the table
I need to stop fucking people before I get to know them
I'm sorry for coming into your work place and trying to smuggle you out in my purse.
all but 2 of were put on probation for disorderly conduct. i know, visiting a hospital when your drunk is really stupid but it seemed like such a good idea at the time
swear to god, "it seemed like a good idea at the time" is gonna be on your epitaph
I'm listening to bach and watching porn,is that a sign of depression?
I thought we agreed, no more super glueing action figures to my dick
Idk how she did it. Either she watches freakier porn than I do, or I really need to go get tested.
the only time i'm productive on weed is when i drink.
Just sold this kid "Magic Furry Apples". He is way to high to figure out they are just peaches.
You told him you were auditioning guys for your new show: "So You Think You Can Fuck."
In Denver there are more bars per capita than any other city also the healthiest city. That means lots of drunk girls and no fatties.
i found a twelve pack under my bed. and a six pack in my closet. I'm like a fucking alcoholic squirrel.
So... i mean if they do have cameras in his apartment buildings pool room atleast we gave them a little show.
Why was I handcuffed to the roof?
remember the used condom we threw behind my bed? my mom found it and is accusing me and making a big deal out of it,
Haha! You pissed me off, so I actually told her to go look behind your bed. Good thing I moved to Nevada, so your dad can't kick my ass. Good luck bitch.
so the plumber came, he found condoms, feathers and glitter in the pipes.
There is so much to learn about oneself from autofill.
I just want to go some place where I can have a nice night. Grind on men who speak no English, make out with a girl, and not feel judged.
his mom called while we were having sex and asked if we could finish in his brothers room because her ceiling fan was about to fall on her bed
There are 9 condoms on my bed either i met the greatest girl ever last night or something horrible has happened.
The boys in front of me put beer, red plastic cups, ping pong balls, lighterfluid, and twelve packs of pantyhose on the conveyor belt. Whatever drinking game they're playing, I want a part in.
Do you think it'll be awkward standing up at their wedding knowing I've slept with both the bride and the groom?
I think his parents are learning english from the phrases I shout during sex.
We need to talk about our relationship.
I just won a bet involving 10 tequila shots. You've got about 3 minutes
I'm just trying to think of how much money Little Debbie would make if pot was legalized.
At what point should shame kick in? Realising I had a one night stand with a man engaged or realising I am that man's wedding photographer?
The only ground rules are no one is allowed to come who will say "no, that's a bad idea" or "what if we get arrested?"
as soon as I walked into work this morning, my boss called me out on my hangover, patted me on the back and said I'm getting time an a half for even showing up. Did I really look that bad this morning?
He just brought me a wine glass. Full of Tequila. Ignore any texts after this one.
I couldn't walk, so he carried me all the way home; and then I told him that I wasn't drunk enough to fuck him. Poor kid.
He gave me a book last time I slept there. Im beginning to feel like a really weird hooker. Like instead of money he gives me random shit he has lying around. like hamburger buns
just saw a midget ride a motorized cooler into the liquor store. i'm gonna follow him home.
I just found ouut you can get a DUI in a kayak. Fuck.
I thought it was kinda weird that her ten yearold sister was playing bartender, but hey, the girl makes a damn good drink
There is nothing wrong with wanting a slide attached to your staircase
i think it would be like really awesome if scientist could genetically engineer manatees to be like the size of goldfish so i could have one in my fishbowl and be like FUCK YEAH TINY MANATEE
He told me about his girlfriends trust issues during our post sex spooning
Eventually evolution will just give us a better liver anyway, so our great great grandkids should THANK us for our binge drinking.
Apparently I climbed into a dryer last night and refused to leave... There are pictures to prove it
Hello wreck, this is your train calling.
He's trying to kill me, one liver cell at a time. It's going to be a slow, but awesome death
On a positive note, new entry in my phone as 'HOT ASS, DOWN TO FUCK'. idk if its a boy or girl tho.
we banged on the home plate. i wasnt even aware of the significance of where we were until afterwards hahaha
Somebody started a fire in the kitchen. I puked on it till it went out. The firemen high fived me.
There is NOTHING better than watching a child being chased by an ostrich.
She brought up feelings... her days are numbered
You stuck your head out the window to puke and got hit with a mailbox.
Don't text me when you know I'm doing lines on my phone
I either just got cockblocked or saved from a lengthy court case so I'm kinda conflicted about how my night went.
suddenly, hermaphrodite night sounds like a really bad idea
There is a keg full of gin. THERE SHOULD NEVER EVER BE A KEG FULL OF GIN.
I sent the random girl I had sex with last night a 'happy mothers day' text as a reminder to get the morning after pill.
Not only do I have sand in my ass, but a crab pinched me while we were fucking. Still totally worth it.
Just passed on a threesome. I'm too old for that kind of morning after.
I'm going to skip that pointless convo with Mark, stick with the "we're talking" status, and bone barely legal, borderline gay, preppy guys on the DL.
Actually, I'm graduating from college on Saturday so that makes me a well educated bitch.
Talk about the highs and lows of a night out: had a threesome, then got robbed at knifepoint.
I like how washing the beer bong is now a regular part of washing the dishes.
he let me duct tape his mouth because i said it was my fetish, i really just wanted him to shut up
As I was going down on her I noticed she had a tatoo on her inner thigh that said "Eat it like your birthday cake".
She came home wasted 'not wantin to talk about it' so for revenge I woke her up with a dutch oven and she puked all over me and the bed. I can't win.
he had a sign stolen from the tennis court hanging above his bed that said, "please limit play to one hour while others are waiting"
recycled a plan b box. kill a baby. save a tree.
i'm watching the draft and making cookies. how am i still single?
and unfortunately for you, hallmark doesnt make a "sorry i was getting a blowie in the backseat of your car while you were driving, projectiled my jizz onto your hand, and caused you to crash" card
I just found out that AAA will pick you up if you're drunk for free if you're a member. How did I not know about this?
Changing from sweatpants to jeans at 3 in the afternoon makes the day seem so much more productive than it actually was.
got hammered last night, woke up this morning to 38 texts that varied from "you fucking asshole" to "i can be there in 10 minutes"
Mowing drunk should be an olympic sport...
woke up in a garbage bag. literally. it was used as a sleeping bag.
I can't wait until weight watchers comes out with a beer
Just took a celebratory "i havent slept with anyone in this bar" shot. yesssss....
the chick you hooked up with on my couch facebook friended me.
I just masterbated while imagining him getting hit by a truck. I have hit a completely unacceptable level of anger & bitterness. Help.
It's going to be nice going to the airport without drugs taped to my balls like last year.
The lawn was on fire, but I fixed it.
I just sneezed alcohol in a candle and started a fire.
I am sitting on the floor by my oven watching my cookie dough blossom. This is a whole new level of fat
No now hes going to beat me to our goal of getting someone to have sex in the library. I hate periods.
Just scheduled a cocaine deal around my drug counsler appointment. Why yes, thank you, I do enjoy the irony that is my life.
You guys need to stop introducing me as "the girl you shared"
How do you tell someone they are only invited if they put out?
i love that he's uncircumcised. it makes handjobs so much easier. it's the lazy susan of penises.
We've been fucking since Friday.... This is the most committed non-committed relationship I've ever been in
A lesson I learned in the hospital....when you masturbate while attached to a heart monitor, it scares the nurses a lot.
look. either you want to have late night naked sleep overs or you don't. do not involve dinner and extraneous conversations in this relationship.
Haha im sorry. Its just financially responsiable to bang him instead of you right now.
im vomiting on the 4th floor cause no one knows me there
are any of them hardcore sluts...just absolute worthless human beings? if not the paper wins
apparently, i ordered a pogo stick last night. i can't even be mad about that.
I'm watching this guy on intervention hospitalized for liver damage. He's drinking the hand sanitizer in the hospital room. Say hello to your future.
Most fantastic sex ever until her Doberman took an interest in what we were doing. There was nothing more terrifying then feeling warm dog breath on my ballsack.
I got a handjob from a sober married woman in a parking lot in the middle of the day, yet you still cant manage to get laid by a drunk single slut at the bar at 1am. Wtf
My lack of memory is directly related to being friends with you.
I looked at the bar tab this morning. The bartender added a $25 'customer asshole fee'. I have no grounds to dispute it.
no more everclear, i just stood next to the toilet and peed my pants. then went back to the party soaking wet.
A horse told me not to drive home last night. I think there was a cop on top of it.
I'm home with mono, wearing knee high socks, shorts, a stained old shirt, and a surgical mask. He comes over ANYWAY with soup, a gas mask, billions of DVDs, and eats me out. He's either stupid, whipped, or i'm just THAT good.
you never realize your highschool teachers are real people till you fuck one of them
we've been dating more than a month and i just realized there's no hair on his chest..
I just typed 14 shots of Smirnoff into my calorie count toolbar. Then typed pole dancing 1.5hrs into the calorie burner search. Should break even.
as nice as a boyfriend sounds, a relationship would require morals and self-restraint - both fields in which i lack.
and ill be dreaming of you. not in a creepy way, but in an inappropriate way
i make up for being a shitty girlfriend by being amazing in bed.
For the amount I put out, I should be going on way more dates.
I'd like to apologize to your liver. It sees how much beer i drink and gets jealous of how awesome my liver is.
ARE YOU ALIVE? usually when i say lets start drinking at inappropriate times you come right over. im worried
part of it is the fact that im problem drinking, and the other part is my OCD wont let me leave the bottle half-empty.
I am the drunkest girl in the tree.
I left a cheeto on everyone's car trailing to the house i'm at, hanzel and gretel style.
you haven't felt a hangover until you wake up after a night of snorting tequila.
I'm just not sure how to initiate the "do you want to have sex with my boyfriend and I" conversation
I just found out my first birthday was a keg party. Suddenly everything makes sense
Bring your kids so they can distract our kids so we can drink beer in peace.
I just texted him to come over because I want to see if his hand fits the handprint bruise on my ass.....I feel like the cinderella of S&M
We got a party bus for the nite. I found out the hard way why stripper poles are meant for girls.
Got one of only two perfect scores in the class on the quiz I took drunk. This is not a good thing for me to have learned about myself.
The lack of respect you have for your penis baffles me. I'd rather rub my ball sack on public toilet seats than stick my dick in some of those girls.
So I heard you only slept with me because you were drunk...is that true?
Last night I went to an anything but cups party. I took a hummingbird feeder. It was a terrible decision.
he started fingering my stomach rolls instead of my vag... am i really that fat?
Neighbors just bought a new bong. Got high with them and we decided to name it "Gary colemans sweet sugarlumps" these guys are hilarious
I wish you could buy pregnancy test at the liquor store, it's the only place I feel comfortable being a disgrace because I know they understand why it happened...
stop texting me from phones in the verizon store and pretending to be guys i talked to when i was drunk. its confusing.
Cop gave me a ticket for public drunkedness, and then I convinced him to drive me back to the party
just puked in a purse in the store. some girl asked if i was gonna buy it now and i laughed and asked her why id want a bag some dude just puked in. her face looked like she saw the devil.
Clearly, I'm already going to hell, so there's no point in trying anymore.
We're starting "No Hesitation Fridays." The probability of this going horribly are between 100 to 125 percent
I slept with some guy because he drew a dinosaur on my arm
So, apparently I made everyone omelets last night. Even when I'm drunk, I'm still a trophy wife.
she was using a pencil to fish crushed adderall out of a plastic bag. it was like a college version of fun dip
small problem..I have a major exam in the morning so I might have to go to the library after the party
PS, you're not being slutty, you're "making dreams true."
Dude you called me last night to let me listen to you piss in a cup and drink it. Just making sure you survived
Thank you for holding my vodka while the police let me ride their horse.

A £4.3m court case brought by Proactive Sports Management against Manchester United star Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen Rooney has commenced at Manchester Mercantile Court.
Proactive used to represent the Rooneys through agent Paul Stretford. But Mr. Stretford quit the firm in 2008 to set up a new sports management business and took the Rooneys with him.
Before Mr. Stretford's departure, Proactive received payments of up to 20% commission on multi-million pound deals involving the Rooneys with companies like Nike, Coca-Cola and EA games.
The commission dried up, however, after Mr. Stretford left and refused to authorise further payments.
Ironically, Mr. Stretford founded the company. He departed in acrimony, however, after the Football Association imposed a nine-month ban on him for breaching agents rules; and, much to Mr. Stretford's consternation, Proactive's board of directors refused to fund his appeal.
(Indeed, while Mr. Stretford says he terminated his own contract with Proactive, the company say they dismissed him for gross misconduct.)
Opening the case, Ian Mill QC said:
"If one believes the quotes attributed in the press, it appears Mr. and Mrs. Rooney regard these charges against them as exploitative and financially-driven.
"If by financially-driven they mean [Proactive] wishes to recover the substantial sums due to it, I would respectfully agree, but it is hardly a ground for complaint or for criticism.
"Where, I ask rhetorically, is the exploitation?
"I would respectfully suggest if there is any exploitation it's the exploitation of the Rooneys by Mr. Stretford who has used them to further his dispute with Proactive.
"In short, Proactive simply seeks the monies to which it is contractually entitled."
BBC News reports the case is scheduled to last three weeks, with Wayne and Coleen Rooney expected to give evidence next week.

Dennis Blazak of Point Pleasant, standing at the foot of Sea Point Drive in the borough, describes a project where the Climate Action Committee hopes to build oyster reefs on the bay side of town.
- Filed Under
A shellfish with a history in Barnegat Bay could help resolve the borough's severe flooding issues.
A borough-based environmental group wants to establish oyster reefs and rebuild two existing salt marshes along the borough's southern edge in Beaver Dam Creek.
Establishing reefs and replenishing marshes wouldn't stop the flooding completely, said Dennis Blazak, a member of the Climate Action Committee, which aims to bring environmental projects and promote green awareness in the borough. But he told the Asbury Park Press that the reefs and marshes together could create a natural ...

Good Jobs
8:47 AM, Jul 3, 2014 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
The BLS released its monthly jobs report one day early as tomorrow is the 4th and a holiday. The report provides something to celebrate with payrolls increasing by 288,000. This pushes the jobless down to 6.1 percent.
There is much to be learned in the particulars but this time, unexpected news is good news.

We had previously discussed the Augmented Unemployment Rate back on January 10, 2004. (I've been meaning to update it, but its not the type of stat that moves markets).
Now, 2 months later, we see an actual improvement in this number, at +8.5%. This is down almost a percentage point from the 9.3 percent reading in January. I would expect to see an furtherimprovement still in April when it gets released.
Source: TheStreet.com
Some people don't think highly of the Augmented Unemployment Rate; At least not lately. These critics were not holding court on the subject back in 2000 (although unemployment was hardly the election issue then it is today, so its not a fair comparo).
Regardless, any improvement in the overall employment situation is welcome.
More on this later . . .

It's like an arc above the kneecap, and coming down inside the knee on both sides, and it's so bad sometimes that I actually need to stop and cringe for a bit. Mostly I've been ascribing it to just not being in great shape. I did try raising my seat, and that worked a little, but it's still pretty bad and I'm not sure otherwise how to adjust. My bike is a specialized hardrock I think 1999 (but possibly 1998). I've grown maybe 2 or 3 inches since then, but I can't imagine that's enough to really make a difference.

South Plainfield celebrates as Luigi Gerardi wins at 195.

As Kevin McCann gathered his team together after it captured the NJSIAA Group III crown in dramatic fashion, it appeared as if the South Plainfield wrestling coach would deliver the kind of inspirational speech that would put his four-year dynasty in perspective.
Instead, the Tigers coach pointed his index finger skyward and shouted, "Undisputed, baby!" as his charges brought him in for a collective bearhug.
"I think now it is undisputed," McCann said after South Plainfield, the top-ranked team in the New Jersey Wrestling Writers Association Top 20, defeated Toms River South, 40-22, on ...

FAYETTE COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - New data suggests that less than half of the Kentucky students are actually prepared.
Parents are starting to digest these numbers, representing their children's school and how they faired under a new learning and testing system designed to better prepare students for college and careers.
According to the Kentucky Department of Education, 47% of Kentucky's public high school students are prepared for college and careers.
The information collected from the Unbridled Learning Accountability model demonstrates that this is an increase from the 2010-2011 school year, when only 38% were considered college or career ready.
Under this new system, public schools and districts receive scores on a scale of 0 to 100.
The statewide overall score is 55.2. Elementary ranks the highest with 57.3. High schools have a 54.8 and middle schools have a 53.5.
Fayette County Public Schools rank 54th out of 174 districts.
Fayette County Superintendent Tom Shelton explains the numbers indicate a bench mark of where we are and where the district needs to go.
"Some schools have different labels. Each of those schools has our full commitment and our full support to deal with the issues to make sure that all of those students reach proficiency," said Shelton.
For parents in Fayette County that would like to learn more about scores and rankings, there will be some informational sessions throughout the month at various high schools in Lexington.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) -- Folks in Lexington are trying to put aside the disappointment of UK missing the NCAA tournament, and focus on the basketball games that will be coming to Rupp Arena this week.
Fans say that they're excited that a Kentucky team is in the running, and in a prime position.
"Well, I'm from Kentucky. I'll support any team," said fan Tommy Pasley, who waited in line this morning to get tickets to Thursday's games.
His pick?
"I hope Louisville wins it all -- that's what I hope," he said.
Last year, Kentucky started their run for the national championship in Louisville. This year, Louisville starts their potential run for the title in Lexington. It's something most people are excited about.
"You should be for anybody in Kentucky," said Pasley."Western, Eastern, Morehead, it doesn't matter. I'm very excited. Yeah, I love Louisville."
Although UK isn't in the tournament this year, there is still something Lexingtonians can be excited about.
Renee Jackson, president of the Downtown Lexington Corporation, told us, "I think the last time we had the games was in 2007, so it is always a good nod to get the first round of the NCAA."
Tens of thousands of supporters are expected this week. People said it's a great way for folks to enjoy the beauty of Lexington while positively impacting local businesses.
"We've got an early game, early afternoon on Thursday, and then the early evening game," said Jackson. "So we anticipate places being very busy on Thursday."
If the University of Louisville wins on Thursday, they will play on Saturday in Rupp Arena. If they win that game, they'll move on to the next round in Indianapolis.

Pine-Richland graduate awarded Fulbright scholarship
Jennifer Jokl is spending the summer at home in Richland for the first time in four years, but don't expect her to stick around for very long.
The recent college graduate, 21, is a veteran world traveler who has spent the past four summers abroad and soon will be jaunting off on another trip.
Jokl, a 2010 Pine-Richland graduate, was awarded a prestigious Fulbright scholarship from the U.S. Department of State. She'll travel to the Chinese island of Macau in mid-August to teach English as a second language to college students at the Macau Polytechnic Institute for the next year.
"I'm really thrilled," Jokl said. "I'm looking forward to teaching again."
The Fulbright Program, overseen by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, is the nation's largest international exchange program that sends students abroad to teach English or perform research studies.
Jokl will join about 2,800 U.S. students and scholars who are sent abroad each year by the program.
Jokl is no stranger to traveling. She has made six trips abroad during her college career at Rollins College, including two semesters. She has visited London and cities in China and spent last summer teaching English as a second language in China.
Her love of travel was sparked after her family lived in Hong Kong for several years when she was a child. Jokl said she lived in Hong Kong until she was 5 while her father, a PPG employee, set up a branch of the company there. Ever since she left Hong Kong, she has wanted to return.
"I love how fast-paced it is and in my own small way being present for a country that is so in flux right now," Jokl said.
Macau is a former Portuguese colony that was the first and last European settlement in China. The small island sits just east of mainland China and is a huge tourist destination, Jokl said. Like Hong Kong, Macau is a special administrative region of China and has a high degree of autonomy from the country except in matters of foreign policy and defense.
Jokl graduated from Rollins College, located in Winter Park, Fla., in May with degrees in international business and Asian studies. One of the main reasons she attended Rollins was because of its study-abroad program, which allows incoming freshmen to do a short-term program abroad.
Giselda Beaudin, director of international programs at Rollins, said college officials encourage students to travel abroad because they will become more engaged, well-rounded people.
"Students just need to be in spaces where they're being challenged and being forced to be more independent," Beaudin said. "Study abroad is one of the experiences that students consistently say they've developed self-reliance and independence."
Jokl said she never has been too worried about the language barrier when traveling to China, especially now that she speaks conversational Chinese. She said when visiting China now, she opts to speak English only if she can't understand a person's regional dialect.
One of the best parts of traveling is the food, Jokl said. Her favorite is street-vendor food, but she's not afraid to try a little bit of everything.
Jokl's ultimate goal after completing her Fulbright scholarship is to land back in Hong Kong with a business job of some sort, although she's not exactly sure what. She hopes her background with the Fulbright Program will help her get a foot in the door somewhere.
"My dream job is kind of a vague one, I'm just kind of exploring my opportunities," she said. "I want to get a job where I can speak Chinese and interact with as many kinds of people as I can."

The Kiel Week medal race was once again the crowning highlight at the close of racing for the Olympic classes.
German Laser sailor Philipp Buhl took revenge for last year's defeat by Simon Grotelueschen.
Philipp Buhl (Sonthofen) took revenge for the previous year, finishing first in the last race and thus managed to slip in front of Simon Grotelueschen (Kiel) overall. With his victory in Hyeres (France), this is his second time winning a World Cup race series this year.
The 470 class was dominated by the German teams Ferdinand Gerz/Patrick Follmann (Munich) and Annika Bochmann/Elisabeth Panuschka (Berlin/Uerdingen), and Tobias Schadewaldt/Hannes Baumann (Kiel) defending their title from the previous year in the 49er. Denniss Karpak from Estonia became first in the Finn and in the paralympic class, 2.4mr absolute favorite Damien Seguin from France, took the title. In the Laser Radial, Tatiana Drozdovskaya from Belarus was just in front of Franziska Goltz (Kiel) by only millimeters.
Stating highest recognition, title-holder Simon Grotelueschen congratulated his successor to the throne, Philipp Buhl, right after crossing the finishing line. Still on the water, Grotelueschen took off the yellow jersey for the leader, he had been wearing when going into the final, and gave it to his competitor. With fist-on-fist they congratulated themselves for the German double success. 'I am very happy to be able to win this year, after just having missed the victory last year', said Buhl.
Tobias Schadewaldt/Hannes Baumann successfully defended the title in the 49er.
The 470 final was not that spectacular however. Ferdinand Gerz/Patrick Follmann had a good start, had the fleet under control and were concentrating on their direct competitors Magnus Masilge/Moritz Klingenberg (Potsdam). With the third place, Gerz/Patrick Follmann are the overall winners. Not too many international competitors attending was not a big issue for Gerz. 'It just feels great, because Kiel Week is just Kiel Week.'
For DSV Sports Director Nadine Stegenwalner, four victories for the Germans was a major success: 'We are very satisfied. It is much fun, and we are hoping for more. And the young teams will grant four more interesting years for us.' Chief organiser Jobst Richter had a split resumé for the event: 'We had a fantastic finish, where even five kiters could demonstrate, how their class events could look like in the future. But we were pretty disappointed about the low entry numbers for the Olympic classes, especially that the surfers dropped out completely.'

LAST UPDATED: 10:31 p.m. HST, Oct 9, 2010
University of Hawaii running back Alex Green scored three touchdowns and slotback Greg Salas added three of his own as the Warriors secured a 49-27 victory over Fresno State in tonight's Western Athletic Conference football game at Bulldog Stadium.
Green carried the ball 13 times for 96 yards, scoring on runs of 38, 14 and 2 yards to secure one of the biggest wins of Warriors head coach Greg McMackin's career. Safety Jeramy Bryant puncuated the victory with a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown as Scott Enos added his seventh PAT with 2:42 left in the game.
Holding a tenuous 14-10 halftime lead, the Warriors (4-2, 2-0) took the opening drive of the second half 73 yards on eight plays, including a strange one that led to the score. On a third and 10 at the Fresno State 21, UH quarterback Bryant Moniz scrambled out of the pocket to find wide receiver Royce Pollard breaking free.
As he was about to score, Pollard was hit and fumbled at the 1 as the ball rolled into the end zone. An alert Salas pounced on the loose ball for his third touchdown of the game to make it 21-10 with 11:46 left in the third.
Fresno State (3-2, 1-1) was in the midst of a good opening drive of its own in the second half before Bryant picked off his third pass of the season. Hawaii needed only four plays to complete the 62-yard drive, including a 38-yard touchdown run by Green with 8:35 left in the third.
Fresno State responded with a nice drive that led to a first and goal from the 2, but Hawaii held, forcing the Bulldogs to settle for a 31-yard field goal by Kevin Goessling to make it 28-13 with 5:28 left in the third quarter.
Hawaii responded with another long, punishing drive to put the game seemingly out of reach. UH went 90 yards on seven plays, the last one, a 14-yard touchdown run by Green, his second of the game, with 2:38 left in the third to make it 35-13.
Fresno State came back to score its second touchdown of the game on a quick four-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a 9-yard run for a score by Bulldogs quarterback Ryan Colburn to cut UH's advantage to 35-20.
But Hawaii came back with another long drive, this time 74 yards on 11 plays, culminated by Green's 2-yard scoring run to make it 42-20 with 3:57 left. Bryant's pick six made it 49-20 as the Bulldogs added a touchdown late on a 2-yard run by Michael Harris with 1:13 left in the game.
Late in the second quarter, the Bulldogs had just scored a touchdown to take a 10-7 advantage, but UH responded with a nice five-play, 71-yard drive of its own. The key call was a 46-yard shovel pass from Moniz to Green, who took the ball down to the Fresno State 8.
From there, Moniz found slotback Salas for his second touchdown reception of the night to make it 14-10 with 20 seconds left in the half.
After spotting Hawaii a touchdown on the opening drive, Fresno State scored 10 unanswered points to take a 10-7 lead with 1:26 left in the half.
The scoring drive in the waning moments of the second period was set up on an interception of an errant Moniz pass. The Bulldogs quickly marched down the field, needing only four plays to go 65 yards and take their first lead of the night.
The final play was a 50-yard touchdown pass from Colburn to Jalen Saunders to wake up the Fresno State fans. Goessling added the extra point.
Hawaii wasted little time tonight trying to win its third consecutive game at Bulldog Stadium, taking a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter. After the Warriors defense forced a three and out on the Bulldogs' opening series, they went 73 yards on six plays for the score.
Moniz completed five of five passes to five different receivers for 76 yards on the six-play drive, including a 30-yarder for a touchdown to Salas with 9:57 left in the opening period. Enos added the PAT to give UH the early seven-point advantage.
Fresno State cut it to four points with a 39-yard field goal by Goessling. The Bulldogs went 30 yards on 10 grind-them-up plays, before the defense stopped Fresno at the UH 22-yard line. Goessling split the uprights to make it 7-3 UH with 13:20 left in the half.
Moniz completed 29 of 49 passes for 376 yards. He had two touchdown tosses and one pick. Salas led the Warriors with nine receptions for 148 yards.

About Ray Tarantino
"Ray has one of those million dollar voices." (Into The Hill)
"He is bald! He writes really good songs and has a great voice but he's bald!"
This is how the head of a major recording company responded to Ray's music. But Ray knew that somewhere in the word he would have found at least one person that cared more about music than hairstyle. The guy from the London based label will probably never know, but Ray was right!
Ask a man about his dream and he'll outline an imaginary scenario. Meet the same man 6 years later and ask him again. Chances are he'll just smile and play you a song, follow him and you'll see just what he had in mind. Ray Tarantino resides in Nashville (TN), he is now a voting member of NARAS (Grammys) and performs every night in the cities most prestigious writers' rounds. Ray has played close to 1400 shows and tours the US in a '97 Econoline Van with a queen size bed in the back. His music tells a story. There is a sonic image and there is a literal image. Blend them together and you have one of his tunes. There is an MTV image too, that one you can flush.
He was born in the north of Italy and grew up in the UK. Start in the middle by envisioning this: a young man earning good loot locked in a life he doesn't feel. His aristocratic family are pleased for him. Right formula, wrong result. Five o'clock in the morning and he's pushing a brand spanking BMW at 100mph through the dead of night. His eyes close, the road disappears for a handful of seconds, the silence is shredded by the metallic rage of high-velocity smash-up.
Ray Tarantino broke out of the golden cage of respectability into a state of serene recklessness after that near-death wreck on an empty motorway heading to Rome. It was dark. But the sun had to rise. What Ray had hated in himself died at the scene; the man he wanted to be walked away from it, a smile on his face. Five years and 900 shows later and we're looking at a roving singer songwriter who cashed in the numb comfort of a mechanical existence for the exhilarating knock-backs and breakthroughs of a life of spiritual fulfillment. No musical mercenary, Ray Tarantino has staked his claim on the narrow strip where the so-bloody-British immediacy of pop blends with the so-damn-American power of folk-rock. That's what he has always felt, the natural outcome of the music he's always heard.
Let's rewind to dig it all! A couple of months after the crash Ray Tarantino produced his debut album Recusant with Tony Bowers (former bass player and co-founder of Simply Red). The web is known to be the planet of meritocracy. It helped unsigned Ray kick-start his musical career with a number one placement on the MySpace UK charts, hurled up there with indie-band Gomez and major-phenomenon Amy Winehouse. A few weeks later he was signing a deal with boutique label Massive Arts and Sony Music Publishing. He got a little cash and hit the road to introduce his music across Europe. Couldn't wait! In the meantime Recusant landed on the desk of Evolution Promotion in the US (Moby, Sting, White Stripes) and was tested across the States receiving airplay from AAA radios. Ray flew across the pond and toured the US to live his life of music. He didn't make projections as he ventured into the world and fed it with all he had to offer. Ray, a traveling troubadour, living for the day in a land of forecast-inspired/exposure-driven/budget-backed cool looking music acts planning to be "next big thing." He looked for nothing but honesty and truth, leaning on storytelling and the beauty of casual exposure.
One show after the other he improved his craft, acquiring virtues that were soon to be acknowledged by the few that managed to get hold of him: he was invited to open one of Tori Amos's 2010 solo shows; his song "Senza Pelle" (recorded by Italian folk artist Patrizia Laquidara and produced by Arto Lindsay) was chosen by Howie B for a remix; his composition "Your Heart My Heart" was recorded by Delmar Brown (Sting, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius); his call-to-arms hit "Recusant" topped the Great American Song Contest; the lyrically inspiring "Five O'clock In The Morning" received an honorary award in the West Coast Songwriters International Competition. Ray also produced soul artist JHall's debut EP for Universal USA then got full stars on Rolling Stone producing and co-writing Italian Luca Gemma's third critically acclaimed album "Folkadelic." The press has often used precious words to describe his work, associating his poetic lyrics with the mastery of Bob Dylan and his sound with the integrity of Springsteen, U2, David Gray and Daniel Lanois. Radios that received his music jumped at the opportunity to broadcast his "no-brainers" and his country's most credible TV personality Serena Dandini had him play on her record-breaking show viewed by almost four million people.
Ahead there are only more songs, more shows and more miles.
Ray Tarantino's second critically acclaimed studio album "Ray Tarantino" is released by Tiny Drum Records and published by Sony Music/ATV - Massive Arts.
His third album will be recorded in Nashville sometime in 2013 and will be released when Ray will feel ready to put it out there. Is there any hurry? Make sure you connect with Ray on Facebook and Twitter, sign up to his mailing list to receive access to exclusive music/videos and news. Last but not least, try to catch one of his shows and say hi!

This multipurpose, less expensive coating is used in several applications like chemical resistance, bio-compatibility, wetting and adhesion control, molecular recognition for sensors and nano fabrication, and sensitization.
Cambridge NanoTech enable SAMs coatings on 100, 200, and 300mm size base or smaller. Cambridge NanoTech presents customers having Savannah ALD systems to upgrade to be equipped with the SAMs feature. The cost of including the SAMs feature to prevailing and new Savannah systems is cost-efficient than a deposition device that wholly relies on SAMs coating available in the market.
Ganesh Sundaram, Vice President of technology stated that SAMs offers the ALD community with opportunities to explore their research further. Due to the ability of depositing SAMs films and ALD in a single chamber, SAMs coating technology render more functionalities than any other coating technologies, he added.
Cambridge NanoTech will display a Savannah system with SAMs functionality at the American Vacuum Society's ALD conference 2011, at the Royal Sonesta, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Need advice with women's boots
Last season I bought Nike zoom forces that I thought would be a good fit after I wore them for awhile but they are way too small. I like the look of them and want something on the stiffer side for park. I've tried on the burton emerarlds and like em. Has anyone worn the emeralds? Or should I get a larger size in Nike boots.
The emeralds are similar to burton ruler
Bla Zoom Force 1, ick. Those where the worst boots I ever had. Cold feet and pain. They made me suck more, I swear. The day I went back to my old boots my friend said I was riding way faster and my feet were happier.
Both Sapphires and Emeralds are soft boots. I had 2 pairs of Sapphires. Sapphires are park boots, you suppose to want softer for park. They were trashed and falling apart at 70 days. They were way better than those nasty nikes. I had Emeralds years ago. I don't remember what sizes they were exactly. Overall I thought both were good boots.
The best boots I ever had were Northwave Devines. Those Nikes can suck it. Them crazy good Northwaves went over 200 days until they finally started falling apart. I am going to buy those again. Never again Nike. I would buy sapphires again if they were a great killer deal.
Maybe the Nikes do fit, but feel like they are small because they suck. i guess some people like them, but I never heard of it. I know another person who hated them and I heard of other people regretting them.
My wife has the emeralds and she loves them. Best boot she's ever had.

Actor Jason Biggs (Orange is the New Black, American Pie) has been quite vocal on Twitter about his hatred of SeaWorld ever since he watched the powerful documentary, "Blackfish". Now, he's raising more awareness about the suffering of SeaWorld's captive animals in a biting new ad with PETA.
Biggs told Buzzfeed that it was those snarky tweets that caught the attention of the animal rights organization. "Once I started tweeting anti-SeaWorld jokes, PETA became aware of them. They reached out about making the video. I was like, 'For sure, let's do this.'"
In the video short, Biggs is trying to make a pro-SeaWorld commercial, but can't keep a straight face nor prevent himself from leaking facts about what really happens at the marine park. Biggs delivers with the truth with some wicked sarcasm.
"Nothing says 'family entertainment' like incest and forced masturbation, am I right?!" he quips.
Biggs feels confident that this is the beginning of the end for SeaWorld.
"Bands have canceled performances, and I think it's going to continue. People with any sort of consciousness will not support SeaWorld. You have to be totally ignorant or the devil to still support SeaWorld," says Biggs.
Check out his hilarious PETA ad below and let us know what you think!
