The Two-Day Hangover: Bye Week Ramblings
Mocking the Cowboys, David Carr, and Vince/Kerry; talking time travel paradoxes (again); and just generally proving that idle hands are the devil's playthings.

My guess is Foster's carries will vary inversely proportional to the amount of rushing yards he gains
i.e. the more yards he gets, the less carries he recieves…because that just seems to be the genius of Kubes..

You know what scares me?
I read that and thought “yeah, he’s probably right.”

As for the Terminator paradox
If they prevent Skynet from being built in the first place, then it creates a tangent in the flow of time. True, no Skynet = no rebellion, no Kyle, no Kyle getting tender with Sarah Connor, no John Connor, etc. But, there would also be no NEED for any of those things if there is no Skynet. John Connor would probably be conceived, though not by Kyle, and probably wouldn’t be the same kind of person.
Remember Back to the Future?

However what you forget is Terminator 3
Judgment Day was inevitable no matter what they changed, & the Terminator was sent back to ensure John Connor survived it when the Terminatrix was sent back to kill him & the resistance leadership. So in theory, the paradox was closed since no matter how much they tried to change the future, the end result always ended with Judgment Day.

In my mind
T3 doesn’t exist.

But T3 Closes the paradox
Therefore it has to be included

The difference
is that Back to the Future worked with a linear timeflow, whereas Terminator had the aforementioned time loop (John sending his own dad back to father him, etc.). So if John made himself not exist, that means, in the next loop, he’s not around to send his dad back, which means he’s not born, which means that Cyberdyne Systems doesn’t get destroyed, which means that, in theory, Skynet or some other version of self-aware computer could still be created down the road (because, remember, Cyberdyne was focused almost entirely on A.I. stuff).

I Laughed..I Cried..then became enraged!!
Love the post. I get a kick out of it every week. However, the combination of my inability to let go of a grudge and the Texans history with David Carr create the perfect storm of gamma radiated, Hulk-like rage. What started out as a happy afternoon reviewing Carr’s epic fails…sparked a memory of an article I read before his San Fran signing that pointed out the REAL contract dollars he has earned as an absolutely TERRIBLE QB (Blood pressure rising). I began searching for said article (couldn’t locate – vein in neck begins to pulse)…convinced myself he has earned (I use that term loosely) 10’s of millions as a useless bag of suck (left eye twitching uncontrollably)…stumble upon an article Little Dickie Justice contributed to SFGate.com as a guest columnist as to how the Texans “never gave David Carr a chance” (rips off shirt…throws in-box off desk into wall…crashes through office door… smashes cars in lot…bites heads of kittens)!!!
Again, a great write up
I do have a couple of comments….
Why is NFL initial-ism, and NASA an acronym? I wasn’t aware of the difference.
Supertroopers is one of the greatest movies ever made. My gf can’t sleep without background noise, so she puts a dvd on every night. 5 nights out of 7, it’ll be Supertroopers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve drifted off to sleep, giggling and hearing, donk, “Hey! What the F…”, “Sit down Rando”, Rando sits, donk

With NFL you actually say each letter individually.
With NASA, it’s a single word, as opposed to saying N.A.S.A.

soccer is actually an acronym
on my fone so don’t have the energy to look up what it once stood for
I heard Brian Cushing like to do it with girls in a really uncomfortable place and i am not talking about the back seat of a Volkswagen
Go Texans!
I appologize...
Soccer actually comes from an abbreviation of Association which eventually went from Assoc. to Soccer… and if any limies tell you that you are a wank for calling “football” soccer tell them it was their people who originated the word!

I see
We could fix that by calling it the “NeFil” It is quicker to say…
