Abay is good. People's Indian? Prince of India? I've eaten at them and I can honestly say they are pretty crappy restaurants. I wouldn't recommend them to even relatives of mine that I don't like. Chinese is garbage in Pittsburgh. Worse than Indian. People in Pittsburgh like a restaurant if it has big portions. One of the reasons they vote for Eat N Park and Sushi Kim as best restaurants. Both of which are crap. I know plenty of people who live in Pittsburgh who realize that as cities go, there's not much there.

Men club commandments
some of these are funny


The Men Club Commandments
The 37 rules to being a 'Man' !!! (courtesy of b0g.org)

1.) It is ok for a Man to cry under the following circumstances:

- When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
- The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
- After wrecking your boss' car.
- One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
- When she is using her teeth.


2.) Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his friends.


3.) Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.


4.) If you've known a Man for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her.


5.) Moaning about the brand of free beer in a friend's fridge is forbidden. Complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.


6.) No Man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another Man. In fact, even remembering your friend's birthday is strictly optional.


7.) On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.


8.) When stumbling upon other men watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.


9.) It is permissible to drink a fruity alcopop drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel...and it's free.


10.) Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another Man in the nuts.


11.) Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.


12.) Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.


13.) If a Man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.


14.) Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.


15.) A Man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.


16.) Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both - that's just mean.


17.) If you compliment a Man on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.


18.) Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.


19.) Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another Man while lifting weights:

- Yeah, Baby, Push it!
- C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
- Another set and we can hit the showers!


20.) Never talk to a Man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e. Both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.


21.) Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.


22.) The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to nail her again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was.


23.) There is no reason for guys to watch Men's Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever.


24.) When you are queried by a buddy's wife, girlfriend, mother, father, priest, shrink, dentist, accountant, or dog walker, you need not and should not provide any useful information whatsoever as to his whereabouts. You are permitted to deny his very existence.


25.) You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50 percent without recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call 'BULLSHIT!'.
Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises to 400 percent.


26.) The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running late is 5 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 babe scale.


27.) Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe that your buddy is trying to hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with your good deed and end up having sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to speak of it, even at your bachelor party.


28.) Before dating a buddy's "ex", you are required to ask his permission and he in return is required to grant it.


29.) The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer.


30.) A Man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend's cat.


31.) When your girlfriend/wife expresses a desire to fix her whiney friend up with your pal, you may give her the go-ahead only if you'll be able to warn your buddy and give him time to prepare excuses about joining the priesthood.


32.) If a buddy is out-numbered, out-Manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight.
Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, "What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin.", then you may sit back and enjoy.


33.) If a buddy is already singing along to a song in the car, you may not join him...too gay.


34.) Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.


35.) When a buddy is trying to hook up, you may sabotage him only in a manner that gives you no chance of hooking up either.


36.) Before allowing a drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt one intervention. If he is able to get on his feet, look you in the eye, and deliver a "FUCK OFF!" You are absolved of your of responsibility.


37.) Never, EVER slap or smack another Man.

Never lend your motorcycle!
Even if it's your best bud.
Tell him the wife won't let you. Lying in this case is acceptable.
If a hot, redheaded, leather clad wench wants your ride, that's completely different!

I have been wondering about something for a long time now and I finally have a chance to ask this question. Why did Indiana try and run a play inside of their own five yard line? If they don't snap the ball the worst that happens is they move half the distance to the goal on a delay of game penalty. Eventually the defense will commit a penalty and the offense will move out beyond the five yard line. A long series of delay of game penalties will also take the home crowd out of the games and disrupt the flow of the game. Disrupting flow and quieting the crowd are probably in your favor if you have just been pinned deep in your own territory. You can also send in second and third string lineman to take free shots at the first string defensive lineman. Perhaps you get called for a false start or maybe even a personal foul but who really cares. You will just be penalized half the distance to the goal. If you do decide to actually run a play it will come as a complete surprise to the defense. I of course, would never try this strategy in a home game because I wouldn't want my home crowd to get board and restless. There also could be some debate if this strategy should be employed within the five yard line or only if you are pinned closer to the goal line. The fundamental truth remains, the offense can only be penalized half the distance to the goal and the defense will sooner or later commit at least a five yard penalty. The advantage goes to the offense.

Am I missing something here?

Almost certainly.

Perhaps I should talk about a specific case. Suppose the ball is touching your own goal line because you have just made a goal line stand on 4th and inches. Would you try and draw the defense offsides? The possible benifit is a 5 yard penalty that results in a first and 5 on the 5 yard line. The possible cost is a zero yard penalty because you can't possibly move any closer to the goal. In this case it makes perfect sense to risk a zero yard penaltyfor a chance of a first and 5 from the 5 yard line. Do teams ever do things like this? Are they pussies? Didn't New England do something simular last year during the playoffs? They had 4th and less then five from the 35 yard line. The lined up to kick a field goal and had a lineman make an unusual but legal shift. The oppents jumped offsides because of the shift and New England got the first down. I don't think they would have kick a field goal. I think they would have taken a delay of game penalty if the opponent hadn't jumped offsides. They were just trying to draw a penalty, those pussy world champs that they are. The next part of my question is if you don't get the penalty on the first play do you repeat the process until a penalty is called? I have learned today that the answer is no because of Article 3, section b.

Let's face it, EA's NCAA football has made everyone first understand where imcomming from. im only 20, but that said ive been around football x's and o's my whole life as i was really close with a lot of my HS's staff growing up (since age 6). I was a really smart player in Hs, and instead of playing in college im now a coach at my former High School. I go to several coaches clinics and ive heard every OSU coach speak at them. Now, i may verry well be wrong, but i really think if i were calling the plays at ohio state we would ahvea better offense. i realize iman idiot and dont really know what im talking about, but thats just how i feel.

Yes, I am about ready to let this thread die.

There seems to be agreement that there are only three things that can happen when you run a play inside your own five yard line and two of them are bad.

However, there is still some more fun to be had. There were multiple posts depicting what Smithlabs might look like. Since the subject has been broached I'll add a few links to show the real Smithlabs in action.

This is a set of rock climbing on Mt Lemmon last weekend. I am Ed in these pictures. The site, however, is Ben's.

The is a canyoneering trip through Salome Jug Canyon near Phoenix. OK, this set isn't quite as macho. I am the one in the black Ohio State Jersey. The window shade is my wife's, not mine. The raft was loads of fun and I don't regret bringing it. In many ways, the raft is a metaphor for my life. Sometimes it is more fun to raft through knee deep water and enjoy the ride...

Still a geek but really enjoying the ride,
