Someone posted on roosterytalk today that A'ja said UCONN was her 2nd choice, followed by UT and UNC. She inferred in her press conference that the decision was made within a couple of days of her announcement. I think her parents were glad that she's staying close to home. If I'm not mistaken, her dad is in his 60's, so a ton of travel might have been a little bit tough.

Someone in their sixties has travel issues?

You're killin' me, leghorn.

If you have to travel 800 miles to see a game? Maybe. Did I hit a nerve, DD? I'm no spring chicken, myself. (pun intended)

Apparently you have not been following the Senhor Testiculo mojo threads on the men's board. Removing the filter would not be a good idea.

One of the better systems I've seen on a censored board included an option in the user preferences. By default the filter was enabled, turning words into #!#@ and so on. But users could choose to disable it to get the, er, full forum experience. ;) Since search engines don't have registered accounts, they don't pick up the profanity that the admins may be trying to discourage for search (advertising?) purposes.

The problem with a plain, non-defeatable filter is that it eventually ends up obfuscating more legitimate conversation than actual profanity, and people who want to be lewd find ways around the filters anyway.

One other note: the list of censored words is sort of strange in some ways. No male chickens, sure, but it allows a certain very offensive six letter word with racial connotations.

As far as the frank and beans commentary went, it was pretty much exclusively beans!

Just a heads up to posters - the above link I would classify as being borderline 'unsubstantiated rumor' and I felt a little leery of my second point above as it becomes 'speculative' based on a questionable source and if this thread goes done that route too far, it probably will (and should) be locked.

understood, however in my case, you simply said what I had been thinking. I didn't post because it is sheer speculation, looking and quacking like a duck not withstanding....

That's misleading: you've worded it to seem as if Dantley is a school crossing guard because he's broke and needs the money, NOT because it simply gives him something to do with his time, and that he's actually just as notoriously frugal with his money as he's always been (it was legendary during his time as a player in the NBA), and that after 15 yrs as a player, and 7 as an asst. coach, he's still a millionaire.....
Expand ...
Actually I had read he was so frugal the reason he's a crossing guard is 1) yes it does give him something to do but 2) it gives him free health insurance. He doesn't like paying for it.

He also, from what I read, still owns his $1.1 million house.

That is awesome.

It is where he works and lives. It's apparently a hot topic for their community, and there is a long line of people there waiting to get a position in the job.....

So you are saying he is doing a job he doesn't need while denying someone who really needs it gainful employment - the 1% really are out to make life ... :rolleyes:

Having not seen this, I just checked it out. I have never laughed so hard in my life!

I can understand that position, not wanting to pay for health insurance. Had the same situ myself 12 years ago.

Is he Alfred Hitchrooster?

Let's see: Alfred Hitchcock
 
^Aha; so why will the honorable censors accept Hitchcock, but not Gamecock?

Edit: It looks like the censors have fixed things. Woohoo, cockadoodledooo!
 
Does that mean that the world will be a better place? (Just don't give us that great USC cheer, por favor!)
