I'm just gonna pull up a chair...........

While we're posting bullshit arguments. And yes, I understand that computer rankings for College Football don't hit until like week 7.....

Still

Oregon vs LSU - L 40-27 we dropped 9 positions, on the road (practically, it was at College Station)
Alabama vs LSU - L 6-9 (OT) at home loses to LSU, drops 1 position.

Now everything I've been told is that margin of victory was seriously minimalized so that we're not constantly watching 115-6 drubbings. So that shouldn't bother the computers. What should bother them is losing at home, and it just didn't seem to.

Oregon is back up to 4, after THRASHING Stanford in their own house. This is a win that Alabama frankly does not have on their season, and I'm a little butthurt that they still have us in the rankings. They won't even get to play in their conference championship! GARRRRRRR WTF BCS I HATE U GIMME A FKN PLAYOFF!!!!

Okay, that's my bullshit argument. Hope it's in the right spot.

"Why does my wife leave an ounce of milk in the half-gallon milk carton instead of finishing it?" might be more appropriate.

That's just bitching.  We know the reason: so that she does not have rinse the bottle and put it in recycling.  That's the reason why my 12-year old does it, anyway.  That's also the reason that people leave two pieces of tissue on the toilet roll.  Because they are too lazy to go get another roll and don't want to be accused of having used up the toilet paper without having replaced.

No, disingenuous assholes supporting bad arguments with wearisome forensic tactics goes more like this:

Disingenuous asshole: But Daaaaaa-aaaad, you always tell me not to be wasteful, to conserve, didja ever think thaaaa-aat's why I didn't finish the milk/toilet paper/whatever?  Helloooo????

Dad: Really?  That's why?  And what has anyone ever cleaned up with 2 sheets of toilet paper?  And what recipe calls for seven and a half drops of milk? 

[and here comes the wearisome forensic tactis]

Disingenuous asshole: But Daaa-aad, don't you remember the time we went camping back in 2004 and you forgot to bring the toilet paper/milk/whatever?  How is that any different?  If anything, it's WORSE to forget, than it is to be considerate enough to leave two pieces of tissue.  You are so-oo unfair!  You don't see that YOU are even more inconsiderate than everyone else who you criticize!

Dad: I guess you're right, forgetting to bring the toilet paper once, seven years ago, is worse, than you intentionally leaving two sheets every week, in exactly the same way that my opinions about kidnappings in Venezuela will tell anyone all they need to know regarding my misunderstanding of the skills and legacy of Bill DeWitt.

"I would suggest an alternative to your family TP crisis. Buy the bulk packs, and keep a 4 pack in each bathroom. Leave those rolls on the back of the toilet, and look for them before you sit down. If you see none, that's a dead eye warning to look at the roll!"

Makes sense, but you're a guy. The female perspective, as I've learned, is it's better to run out of paper, have to get up in the middle of what you're doing and retrieve a new roll from the linen closet in the hallway than it is to have that horribly unsightly packaging on the back of the toilet.
Which kind of makes sense if Judith Martin is coming over once a week for a  inspection of your guest house, but we're talking about the upstairs bathroom that no one visits ... unless, of course, the roll in the downstairs bathroom is empty.

So just so I have this summed up. Venezuela will continue to kidnap successful young ballplayers because Dewitt canned Jocketty, and the reason Walt couldn't stay is because Max has went 7 years without being able to wipe his ass properly?

That's about the size of it.
