The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....
In other news, last week I went to Santa Rosa, New Mexico for the first time. Originally, I stopped to check out the "blue hole" (a large natural spring where you can scuba dive) but while I was there I read about nearby Puerto de Luna so off I went to check that out, as well, and I am really glad I did. Maybe not so interesting to some but it has some really old (around 200 years old) adobe buildings, a fairly midieval-looking church, and the Grzelachowski house which was the saloon about 100 and some odd years ago and also the site of Billy the Kid's last Christmas. The owner happened to be there and let me inside and actually chatted with me for a bit. Apparently, he moved there sometime in the 20s and his father actually met or knew (I couldn't tell which) Billy the Kid. He now has a collection of things ranging from 19th century household pieces to WWII pieces. Pretty cool. Oh, and I put my finger in the bullethole in the support beam (supposedly Billy the Kid shot at someone as he was leaving the saloon).

I had a friend that worked for a moving company. He moved this guy across country and set up his furniture in his new house in L.A. Part of his furniture was a wine rack that they set up in the basement. The guy started to place his bottles of wine in the rack when my buddy saw the name of the winery, St James Winery, St James, Mo. It just so happens that we grew up about 10 minuets from the winery. My buddy then starts to lie to this guy that the grape plantation sets on a toxic dump site (i.e. Times Beach). The guy starts to freak out and starts to frantically making phone calls.
My buddy just smiles and leaves without telling him the truth.

You would have to ask someone who watched SuperBowl IX when Green became the first player ever to record an interception, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in a single Super Bowl.
