    I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who found that ironic/amusing.

    I rarely get annoyed anymore; it took me half a century to figure that out. Like yelling at the rain, it serves little purpose.

    hey, i was just pointing out that if ucf wants to get into a bcs conference, there are other schools that appear above them on the list. if you can't appreciate that, get bent.

    no need to get all butt hurt buddy. just trying to prove a point just like you were. It's not up to the BCS it's up to the conference. They conference will take a look at all of the schools athletic programs and evaluate them. This is why schools like Duke and until recently UNC were in the ACC because of their b-ball programs even though their football programs were very sub-par.

    Read the name of this site, the name of the magazine that this site is based off, the last little word....SPORTS.

    Being fit is something that should be a top priority for most people. Helps in preventing sickness, gives you an ounce of hope for living longer and being healthier as you get older, etc. People who think being in shape is for meatheads/tools/douches etc annoy me.

    I think, in this case, the sports in Grassroots Motorsports applies more to Motorsports, than othe sports. It says so, right in the name. Ive yet to see an article about soccer or badmitten or anything, yet. But maybe someday!

    LOL where to start:

    1. People who have no common sense.
    2. People with no directional sense. You can put them in a box and they cannot get out.
    3. People on cell phones trying to buy something. HANG UP THE FRICKING PHONE FOR FIVE SECONDS. So you don't hold up my line.
    4. Grumpy people. Smile for once, it might crack your face.
    5. People who tailgate you and when you move over they pass you for about 2 seoncds and then slow down and you pass them. And the point of you riding my butt was what?
    6. People on cell phones who cannot walk and talk.

    Not usually much to ogle at your average beach volleyball game. Or at least not on the playing field itself. Now, in the crowd...

    Given the current East Coast weather conditions, at the top of my annoyance list this morning are:

    People in silver, grey, and pale blue cars who refuse to put their lights on when it is dark, cloudy, and raining. And for some reason, it's always the asses in cars the color of wet pavement who don't think enough to do that.

    Cops that pull people over for not having a front liscense plate.

    I can't help it if BMW left it up to the original puchasing owner to check with their state law regarding front liscense plate mounting and leaving it up to them to determine whether or not they need to order the car with a front plate mount trim piece. This I probably why a good 80-90% of the E36 M3's didn't come from the factory with the front plate mount trim piece, that and nobody cared much to have one on their car.

    Given the current East Coast weather conditions, at the top of my annoyance list this morning are:

    Snow, school cancellations, snow tires that are buried under race tires, and trees that fall over in high wind.

    Read the post please. Not all states require a front plate, therefore why it was up to the original purchasing owner to check with their own state laws. The car is gray code. If the car was excepted at the federal level with no factory front plate mount, the state government has to acknowledge it.

    Here in Washington, if your car's factory construction doesn't provided mounting for a front plate, you are allowed to be granted permission by State Patrol to have a rear plate only, but that doesn't keep rooky Sherriff deputies from harassing you any less.

    Ok, you didn't say that in your post.

    Most states either a front plate is required, or it isn't. No exceptions.

    The stupid time change made it suddenly it get dark at 5:30 PM instead of 6:30 PM. That's REALLY annoying. Could someone explain to me why we do this again?

    Because without it, it would be dark until 9:00 in the morning.

    Along the lines of what Jay said . . .

    Not knowing what time it is. I walk into work and look at the clock on the punch card machine. Oh, it says 7:30. Weird, it should be 8:30 right now. Hmm. Oh well. So I look at my computer's clock and it's randomly ticking so fast it's stupid: computer time - 10:43. Woah. What time does my desk phone say? 7:42. And my iPhone? 8:32. Really?

    Or, "that's jokes," "it was totally jokes," or any variation thereof. Stop trying to break English on purpose, dangit!
