GG's a hard act to follow, but here's a bit of poetry (albeit from an FSU friend of mine...) Merry Christmas to all... 
Twas the night after Auburn
and all through the land,
not a “Roll Tide” was uttered
by a Crimson Tide fan.
-
They used to be boisterous,
they used to be loud,
they used to be boastful,
and cocky and proud.
-
But they lost all their swagger,
they lost all their swing.
For one little second
had changed everything.
-
The score it was even.
The clock had run dry.
When Nicholas Saban
then started to cry.
-
He demanded a second
be put on the clock.
The worse that could happen?
A miss or a block.
-
But fate it is fickle,
and greed has a price,
and what happened next
just wasn’t too nice.
-
The previous kicks,
wide left and wide right.
So he put in a rookie,
'twas not very bright.
-
The kick was a boomer
of 56 yards,
but the extra yard needed
was not in the cards.
-
And back in the end zone
a lone Tiger stood.
He caught that ol’ football,
he caught it real good.
-
He started to run,
he heard the cheers grow.
The Crimson Tide offense?
Too fat and too slow.
-
One hundred and nine
he ran for a score.
If needed he could have
run one hundred more
-
The crowd it erupted
while storming the field.
The Crimson Tide’s season
was settled and sealed.
-
A cry of “War Eagle”
soon echoed the plain.
Nick Saban’s expression
was one of pure pain.
-
And up in Ohio
they shouted "Go Bucks"
For it gave hope to all
well except for the Ducks.
-
And in Tuscaloosa
you could hear a pin drop.
And in Tallahassee
a tomahawk chop.
-
For the night after Auburn
the Tide does not roll.
The new boss in town
wears garnet and gold.

But then there are those where family or something trumped rubbing it in and sensitivity as much as you could provide was in order. This is the best of those and don't worry if you don't have the sound up, it's almost silent the whole way...

And if somehow God continues to heap love upon Auburn, and they make it past a good Mizzou and OSU to play FSU, I'm going to have a lot of gifs for the king of gifs, Mr 80.
but they've got a ways to go and so I'll keep the powder dry.

As opposed to wetting the powder. Why would I wet the powder? And why call it powder? Wasn't there something more manly to call the powder?

In the end, the British reached an understanding with the Irish. To date, nobody has been as successful with the MD-88.

Reserves available are below reserves (allegedly) required meaning you can't have that time off (or swap into that off time). Have to watch the reserves avail chart. Sometimes folks will pop back up off military leave or medical leave and repopulate the day sufficiently for you to then get what you want.

Speaking of Auburn, remember Saturday was Daylight Saban Time: set your clocks back 1 second.

Clearing the runway ...
New 2015 Mustang. A lot of the design philosophy hearkens back to the Mustang, no, not that one, the one built by North American. A lot of subtle aviation themed features ....
