What next?!

[Gunner55]

I'm with ya Reb. Here is where reports on studies such as this one should stop:

"A Mayo Clinic study shows consuming dairy products may increase the risk of prostate cancer. Experts say more research is needed to understand the strength of the associations."

In other words it could be a weak, a moderate or a strong association with many as yet to be determined variables involved. What it doesn't say is it absolutely without question increases the chance. Yet to read their headline that's precisely the conclusion many will jump to.  Whether it's intentional to try to sway the reader is debatable but you can damn well bet that in may cases like this it is. Otherwise how would they get people to read it? Furthermore, what's their definition of "high dairy consumption"? Conveniently omitted.

I too tire of Mommy Mayo trying to tell me how to live my life. They've been on a holy crusade against alcohol for quite some time. When I was going thru the annual Spanish inquisition they put me thru last spring the nurse asked me if I consume alcohol. When I responded with an enthusiastic "Absolutely!" I thought she was gonna piss her pants laughing. Shoulda pulled out my flask and asked her if she wanted a pull! 

dotc hthey did that to when i had my last kaperscopy. the anesthiests asked if i smoked and drank. i told him yes i did, but i added i'm not sure why that is realivant in this case.

he gave me that your sure a dick look!!!! well i was cause its  and in my little world friggin irreliavant. jerkoff!!!

i bet he wanted to put me permenantly ni-nite!!!!

Probably NOT the 1st or last person that's had to deal with you to have those thoughts.

Gotta make them fun.  Christmas movie drinking game.

If the main plot of the movie takes place in a small town, take one drink. If that small town is in New England, take another drink.
 
Is one of the main characters an outsider who ends up in that town by accident or because of an obligation? Drink up. If that obligation is a Christmas wedding, drink again.

Has someone lost their Christmas spirit? Take a drink. If they lost their Christmas spirit because their “love” broke up with them on Christmas, take a drink. If it’s because their “love” died at Christmas, drink. If it’s because a parent left when they were a kid — at Christmas — drink again. If it’s because they accidentally killed their brother while ice skating at Christmas, you’re watching a repeat of the Harry Connick Jr. one (“Angels Sing,” 2013), which may or may not even be a Hallmark movie, but it’s so good.

Speaking of … does someone die in the movie? This is rare and deserves four good drinks.
Are you OK?
Is there a love triangle? Take a drink. If one part of the triangle is a city slicker focused on a hectic career, take another drink. (Also, don’t get attached to him.)

If there’s magic involved — a magical stocking, magical ornaments, a magical snow globe, guardian angel, etc. — take two drinks.

If the primary male love interest is a farmer, carpenter or just someone who works with his hands, take a drink. If he drives a pickup truck or jeep, take another drink. If he wears flannel, then … never mind, we don’t want you to die.

Is the male love interest descended from royalty and he falls for a commoner, and his family disapproves but comes to appreciate her genuineness? Two drinks. (We’ll also accept “snobby rich people” in the place of “royalty.”)

Is there an African-American best friend or assistant? Two good drinks.

If one of the main characters is a handsome/beautiful single dad or mom, take two drinks. If the mom or dad is single because their spouse died tragically, take another drink. If that spouse died near Christmas time, take another drink. If the little kid from this union is a horrible brat, check your channel because you’re not watching Hallmark.
If the adorable kid in the movie is a niece or nephew, take two drinks.

“Magical Christmas Ornaments,” a Hallmark Christmas movie, stars Jessica Lowndes and Brendan Penny. (Hallmark)
Better eat some cookies, because it looks like you need some food on your stomach. That reminds us …
If a baking contest is part of the plot, take a drink. If it’s ice-sculpting, take two drinks. If the main character loses the contest, three drinks.
Does one of the main stars have a dog? Drink. A cat? Two drinks.

Are the main characters in the movie old high school sweethearts who drifted apart? Take a drink. Was it an ugly breakup? Juicy! Two drinks.
If there’s a ghost of some kind, take three drinks. Then email me to tell me the name of this one.
Do you recognize one of the actors from an old TV show? Drink. Is it from another Hallmark movie? Drink. Did you just Google that person? Drink. Are they Canadian? Drink!

Does the small town in the movie have a big festival, Christmas parade or holiday show for which they are famous? Drink. Is that festival, parade or show in danger of not happening this year? Take another drink. If it’s because of a blizzard, drink again.

[Rebel SS]

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA.......

[deadeye]

Here's a couple I didn't see but are in all the movies.

Main girl or boy is torn between staying or accepting a dream job in another city or county.

After the old girl friend or boyfriend is out of the picture, there is a big misunderstanding and one of the two leaves town only to realize they f'ed up and returns for the big makeup scene.

[Rebel SS]

And to think Tiny Tim started all this just for his razzleberry dressing...


Kinda looks like Glenn and katchup, don't it?

[Steve-o]

I'm sure someone can get the DVD for ya!!!   

Then he could have those 5 year olds come over to run it and fix his phone fer him! 

I sure do hope I get some grand children someday - otherwise who else is going to come over in my reclining years and help me figure out all that future techie stuff they haven't invented yet.

[Rebel SS]

A pet monkey?

...

If it played in a real movie theater, it stars Dennis Quaid.  Drink.

Man with a nickname as Deadeye I though maybe you were kind of a dud to hang out with.  Well now I know you are a blast to hang with but just have a terrible taste in channels.  I too thought oh no DE is hooked on Hallmark Porn.  But I guess I will have to stock up on more booze just to get through one movie.  The wife hates it when I come in after fishing and make a cocktail and sit with her whilst she is watching Hallmark.  I just can't keep my mouth shut and I think I am funny as heck narrating the show!!!      She gets pissed and gives me "THE LOOK" so I go to my office. 

[Rebel SS]

....Not "THE LOOK" ..

[LPS]

And DE.  Your thing was funny as heck.  Exactly what those shows are about. 

[deadeye]

LPS, I watch them with my wife and after a while of my "predicting" what's next, she says "are you sure you shouldn't be out hunting or fishing".

Yup, a #1 city full of solid citizens, alright......

MINNESOTA NEWS, TOP STORIES
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) — Rochester Police said a mailbox was set on fire and someone went through numerous mailboxes last weekend.

This happened on the 5400 Block of Kingston Place NW between 8 p.m. Saturday and 10:19 a.m. Sunday.

When the one owner opened the mailbox that had been set on fire, there was burnt mail inside.

Police believe someone lit the mail on fire and closed the door.   (Reb's take: Duh...)

According to Rochester Police, there have been multiple recent incidents of mail theft, as well as people taking items off porches throughout the city.
