But then you would get no more cocktails. My fraternity brothers always said that drinking whiskey helps cure you. And they'd always end up sicker and worse off. I would not want them taking care of me when I was sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sick about 2 weeks ago for a couple days. Drank half a bottle of Makers Mark on Friday night and woke up Saturday feeling great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I got 2 red-light tickets in the mail for turning right on a red light even though there are no signs saying I can't turn. How much of a pain in the ass are these things to fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of a pain in the ass are these things to fight? I just got one in the mail for the exact same thing. I'm leaning towards just paying it (its $50 here in Knoxville). In my case I think it's a case of not coming to a complete stop before turning right, which is against TN law, so I'm definitely in the wrong legally. Of course, there was a green right turn arrow that I apparently just missed, but I doubt I can win that argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually send you three photos, each one is one second apart. Also, you can go online and watch the video of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the video of it online, I was about a split second away from reaching a complete stop, but I was definitely moving the whole time. There went $100 to the citizens of Franklin Park from LittleHurt05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) Wait til the parents start getting on your ass. Already happened after our first game. I accidentally forgot to play a kid in the 4th quarter and his dad let me know about it. I'm pretty good at splitting up playing time though, everyone gets pretty equal PT until the last 5 or so minutes of the game when the best kids play.

dasox24 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It was 67 degrees here in Knoxville today. My buddies and I just sat outside all day and chilled... unfortunately, it's supposed to be in the 20s again by Wednesday so it was fun while it lasted.
