Say "I told you so" before it's too late
 

Here's where you say things so that later you can say I TOLD YOU SO! And gloat and stuff.

I never said anything, seeing how he lost a ball and all, but I never did trust that beady-eyed Lance Armstrong. I really never liked him, but I figured it was NonAmerican (DisAmerican?) to not like him.

Beady eyes. A dead giveaway. Every time.

I lost my chance to say I TOLD YOU SO. And to gloat and stuff.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

I didn't like him when he dumped Sheryl Crow b/c she wanted a baby then immediately hooked up with another chick and had a baby. Very Richard Gere-ish of him.

Guys are so weird.

I've been dying to "told you so" a cow orker, so I'll do it here. She supported Chris Christie when he ran for governor, saying how public sector employees needed to have their pay/benefits "adjusted". Her husband is a professional fire fighter for a local municipality. I told her that Christie's policies would end up affecting her and her husband negatively. She insisted that because he worked locally, nothing would change. Now, her husband is paying more for healthcare, and getting no raises.

Told her so.

At first I didn't care about Lance Armstrong, but then as I learned more about him, I didn't like him. It was during the whole dumping his wife to be with Cheryl Crow thing. His wife stood by him through cancer and took care of the family while he was off riding bikes. And he dumps her so he could be with a celebrity. Then when he continued to deny cheating when it was obvious he was lying, and now that it's convenient to tell the truth, he's telling the truth. The guy has always done the self serving convenient thing. He's a tool now and always has been.

My MIL's cousin lives in Germany and when I brought the question up with him several years ago he laughed and said, we've known about it for years in Germany. It's only in the US that people think he's clean; they don't want to lose their hero.

I didn't say so at the time, and it's kind of old news now, but I always thought Jimmy Saville was creepy. I couldn't understand why everyone liked him when he was so plainly and obviously false.
Never liked him, but didn't say so at the time.

Britain entering an Arctic Winter?
Snow all day every day for the whole month of January?

No.
Wrong.
And I knew this even before the first flake fell.

Yeah, I always thought he was a dick too.

not even a dick, he is a putz

It is my opinion that Lance Armstrong is/has one of the sociopathic personality disorders, probably not the classic sociopath because he lacks the impulsiveness, but more likely the narcissistic personality type - shameless lying, amoral using and abusing of other people, doing it all for his own indulgence, etc. This "admission" is equally self-serving, just trying to get his career back. He's such an egocentrist he may well destroy the sport of cycling as we know it by implicating the sport's governing body in cover-ups and getting it banned from the Olympics.
Fuck him.

and the bike he rode in on?

Haggis!

No! The bike was framed.

[shit] Time to ban those bikes before another rider cheats! [/stirrer]

Armstrong didn't invent cheating in cycling although he may have perfected it. He was the top douche of many douches in the sport. The sport has been dirty a long time, he took it to another level but there were European riders cheating long before he got there... and yes he is a sociopath.

That new wonder ingredient-replacement/health product/answer to everything Soy will be found to be responsible for some hideous family of diseases that will occur in the next generation.

Royal baby will have Frances/Francis as a middle name.

Yeah, I'm wary of soy.


But you reckon they'd name the sprog after the pope?

And There's Rolf Harris. He always gave me the creeps. but I forgot to mention it before his arrest and now he's convicted

I quite liked Rolf. Just goes to show my radar ain't always right!

I think he'll get seven years transportation to the colonies.

I think that Lumosity is not so much 'brain-training' as it is some sort of mind control or experimentation ploy.

I train my brain all the time, with books and movies and crosswords and word games and other sorts of games. But I need Lumosity to give me feedback and keep track of my mental functioning? Um, no thanks.

I'd forgotten about this thread so thanks monster for posting in it. It became very pertinent after I read about the recent BaceFook experiment. (My BaceFook account is de-activated.) I've been thinking for a long time about my Lumosity theory and I think one day I'll come back here with an "I told you so."

Yesterday's Hobby Lobby decision will...

A- increase abortions. If women don't want children, they will not have children, one way or another.

2) increase taxes. The gubmint is considering directly paying for birth control for those women, and unwanted births are likely to cause the need for additional healthcare spending by the gubmint.

III: increase healthcare insurance cost. Healthcare insurance companies will be paying more for all the costs involved in birthing and rearing a child.

and/or

four/ cause society to crumble. Many women use birth control pills to mitigate PMS and other hormonal issues. Without this chemical control, women will, on a monthly basis, rip the world a new one.

I disagree with the decision, but I don't think it will have much of an impact at all. The birth control "mandate" was a relatively recent thing so it's not like a long standing benefit is being taken away. Most health insurance companies and employers will continue to provide birth control coverage because it saves them money and makes them look generous.

This will impact a small number of employees who work for wacko family run businesses. And birth control is relatively affordable anyway, so most of them will just get it on their own.

Before I got snipped, my wife had to pay out of pocket for birth control pills because they weren't covered then. No big deal.

The only reason this is news is because it's the principle of the thing.

Hobby Lobby knows it's the principle of the thing, too. They actually used to cover birth control, and only stopped recently so they could be part of the lawsuit. If it weren't them, it would most likely have been Chick-Fil-A, I imagine.

Hobby Lobby covers Viagra and vasectomies.

I'm not even going to expand my comment, there is no reason to, it's all right there.

They're probably in the V aisle with vaginas, velvet and vermillion paint.

Ok, but, can I sing it instead?
