Oh, um.. (ahem) Upon further review, the editor of previous post notes that things (cough)... changed since she last popped in to check the score.

The editor regrets any inconvenience resulting from her premature comments. The sweater appears to not be quite "obsolete" as of this printing.

But probably soon.

Only the tail end Zinniachick, only the tales end. There's always next year. Sandy PS What does it say about me when I find a caterpillar pretty???

Pretty is as pretty does, I always say.

Boy, I ain't looking forward to the dope-slap I've got coming from Semper. Stand by. There's nothing uglier than a happy Steelers fan.

"There's nothing uglier than a happy Steelers fan."

Correction to Ze Editor.... the above SHOULD have read:

"There's nothing happier than an ugly Steelers fan."

As for your next year's ©h®isas present from me becoming obsolete any time soon.... Don't worry because my trusted Evil Juju Eye Lady is {{gwi:175049}}. How else can anyone explain a #6 seed upsetting a #1 seed at home when they were 9.5 points underdogs??? If you need to accessorize, I probably have an extra Terrible Towel to go wit' it too.

Ho®eister, what do you do if you have a caterpillar named Heimlich lodged in your throat, you ask? You hurl heimy hastily.

Gotcha Sempe®, You would hurl a heimy hastily as you would happen to heave a hot highland haggis high.
That's the ticket!
"Horton" ©®TM

(Hoying @ the mention of haggis the horrible...)

WTG, Steelers! Ok, again, I didn't care, but....I'm beginning to think that's the ticket to the win. :D

I see what all the fuss has been about with regards to online dating. I think I'm in love with Heimlich.

Brenda

Brenda confesses the following:

"...I see what all the fuss has been about with regards to online dating. I think I'm in love with Heimlich."

I think that Heimlich only has eyes for FOOD. Good thing I have 4 banana plants for him to munch on. He also gets a half a grape every other day. He is a handsome chap though. A growing boy! :-)

The XXs swoon over Heimlich. The XYs are coughing him up.

Hmmmmmm!

Hack! Hack! Hyork! Splat! Dribble... dribble...

Ahhhh, me feels much better! :)

"How else can anyone explain a #6 seed upsetting a #1 seed at home when they were 9.5 points underdogs???"

Explaining why the colts lost is as simple as why the Bears lost. What did both coaches do that help lead to their teams loosing? What both coaches did is they didn't play the last game or two of the regular season to win but played not to get any of their key players hurt. At that level the game is more mental than physical and by sending the players the message that it was more important not to get hurt than to win they took the edge off their players and lost.
Mike

Mike, I gotta agree with you. That's actually a predicament that the Steelers are VERY familiar with. They usually get the #1 or #2 seed, so they don't play the first weekend of the playoffs. Then when they DO play, they are very much rusty. This year, I've thoroughly enjoyed their role as the underdog instead of the heavy favorites. However, having watched that Bears game yesterday, I'm still baffled how they could have left Steve Smith so open so often??? If my experience as an armchair coach is any indication, I would have put as many men as necessary to eliminate that threat, and let somebody else try to beat me. Of course, it's always easier said than done.

Brandy, whatever it is you're doing with your lack of interest, PLEASSSSSSE don't change a thing. I need all the help I can get! :-)

BTW, I am not ashamed at all to admit that I too like {{gwi:175050}}.

I wonder when the NFL is finally going to realize that the week off prior to playoffs is actually a detriment to (most?) teams. Although, I can't imagine them giving a "time out" week to the teams that just couldn't "clinch".

"Alright, you guys sit over there and think about what you've done! Just wait until your owner gets home, young men!" :D

Brenda

Mr Fi? Is that CleoH® ?

"I wonder when the NFL is finally going to realize that the week off prior to playoffs is actually a detriment to (most?) teams."

OK, I promise to say just one more thing RE football and then shut up until Sunday so that the rest of the forum won't go into a DEEP sleep.

I really think it just depends on the team, its chemistry, and its coaching. Some (most) teams can use the extra time off to recoup from a grueling season but can still manage to stay sharp. Others (like the Steelers) get rusty and tense that they just underachieve. I would tend to think that since this is the first time a #6 seed has reached the Conference Championship game, that most often than not, the extra week off has to be an advantage.

After further review, I think Jake "The Snake" the quarterback with his new scruffy look and Jake "The Snake" the wrestler that FTM posted have an eerie resemblence!

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:175059}}

OMG, when I saw Jake's hair (even longer than that pic Fi guy posted!), facial and otherwise, I about threw up my guts. As my DH said, "That boy needs a haircut." LOL "And a shave!", said I. Sheesh.

WTG, Steelers, though! Hey, how about those Seahawks! Hahahahah...ahem. ;D

That e-zine mission was supposed to be COVERT! **COVERT** That zine has as much life potential as the proverbial dead roach. However, it is difficult to stay undercover in an empty room. You advised Heimlich to not waste his time there and here you are taking up his part of the mission in addition to your own. What a guy! :-)

((I trust you found the "How to Rearrange Deck Chairs on a Floundering Ship" notes under the rose bush?))

You do know that this will cost the organization more anxiety as even more breeches in security are now made public. I could almost care but then, I am Rizzo the Rat, ehh?

How did you get that ultra-fine watermark over your Steelerssuck poster? ( ~ducking AND running~ ) It is barely noticeable.

Brenda, thanks for your concern! There is NO loss or damage to our friendship. I am just teasing Semper about his choice of football team but all for a very good cause. Chick a 3 D Here is a link that might be useful: [Vampire Names](http://www.emmadavies.net/vampire/default.aspx)

Boy & girls, moms & dads, if that link ain't solid proof of the filth that runs rampant on the internet, I don't know what is. Do everyone a favor... PLEASE block any and all access to such lewd sites. Your kids, pets, caterpillars, etc. will thank you for it when they grow up to become Steelers fans.

And them are mighty BIG words coming from the pack whose best trick is to lay down and play dead and their best rush all day was by a runaway fan.

And no worries... our alliance is still very solid much like Boris & Natasha, Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead....You get the picture! Regardless, I still have no choice but to deal with this complete and utter moment of INSANITY accordingly by sending her to timeout. Chickadee, you've been a BAD girl, go to Sir Nappy's room at once! :-)

Heimlich died today. :-(

Don't know why but his plump little body was laying on a leaf of one of the banana plants. He was one with the banana plant in life and will continue to be so in the after life.

He was buried with full caterpillar honours in the pot that holds his favorite food, the banana plant.

P.S I'm aware that your heiny [well not YOUR heiny] [but you know what I mean] was not yet a butterfly, but he will get his wings in Caterpillar Heaven I'm sure.[well I'm not really sure, but you know what I mean!]

He was a 'pillar of strength. Rest his little soul.

Thanks all for your sympathy (and good humour) :-)

Mr. H: The Goosi formation was truly majestic! Thanks for the tip about not looking up.

I had no idea Heimlich already had such a following.
