In Your Personal Circle, Who Would You Suspend For A Year And Why?

[Glenn]

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell feigned ignorance about how the NFL actually works and suspended New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Peyton for a year for his involvement in Bounty- Gate. Bounty- Gate would be the revelation that defensive players for the Saints could earn a little extra scratch per game by "taking out" or getting huge hits against opposing players.

Whether you agree with the terms of the suspension or not, all of us know someone we'd like to 'suspend' for a year. Could be your significant other, your boss, your neighbor, whoever.

Today's question: IN YOUR PERSONAL CIRCLE, WHO WOULD YOU SUSPEND FOR A YEAR AND WHY?

[Raider Nation Fisher]

I'd go with a certain carpet walker at work.

[Bassn Blvd]

I'd suspend myself if it was with pay.

I don't have anyone near my circle right now that I would want to get rid off. There's been a few last year but they're already gone. Though he's not in my circle, I'd like to suspend our State governer.

[A-Jay]

I'd like to nominate the Michigan DNR for a suspension - for making us wait 6 weeks after Ice out to C&R bass.

What the heck !

Agreed! Why is it that we can't fish now anyway? I could understand that they wouldn't want us fishing the spawn but what is the problem with fishing right now?

[Fishing Rhino]

I'd like to suspend the pleasure boaters who take up spaces at state ramps specifically designated for vehicles with trailers. For the most part, fishermen, since it is the license fees we pay that build these ramps.

[J Francho]

My ex.

[tholmes]

My S.I.L. She's one of those people that will ask a question and then argue with your answer.

Actually, I wouldn't ban her completely, just from asking me stuff.

Tom

[MyKeyBe]

My Uncle.

She's one of those people that will ask a question and then argue with your answer.

Same reason. He'd argue jet propulsion with a rocket scientist. Lucky for me, I usually only see him on Christmas and sometimes Thanksgiving so it's almost as if he has been banned for a year.

Sometimes the funniest things are unintentional. What does a "rocket" scientist know about "jet" propulsion?

In the spirit of full disclosure, before I posted this, I did a search on jet and rocket propulsion, just in case, and here's what I found. I know. I know. I'm nitpicking.

How is rocket propulsion different from jet propulsion?

The main difference between jet propulsion and rocket propulsion is that in rocket propulsion the oxidizer is carried with the vehicle, but jet propulsion the oxidizer is the oxygen in the air sucked into the engine of the plane. Because there is no oxidizer in space, rockets need to carry their own oxidizers with them.

The obvious question here is, why do fuels need an oxidizer to burn? Can't they just burn by themselves? The answer is no. Most fuels cannot burn by themselves because burning is really a rapid chemical reaction. The burning that is seen and felt is the heat and the gases released from a rapid chemical reaction. The oxidizer makes that possible.

Never thought about it that way.

Now then old man, explain an Oxygen Acetylene torch. Cause the acetylene burns of its own accord, without the oxygen being added to it. Unless you count the oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding the torch as the oxidyzer.

[tipptruck1]

I fell bad having not knowing this. My dad was a welder for the last 25 years of his life. I had to look up what makes Acetylene. c2h2 is the fourmula to make Acetylene. It is mostly a hydrocarbon with a little bit of Alkyne in it. Thuse making it own o2 to burn. If I am wrong some one plese correct me.

As for suspending some one for a year. For me it would have to be ESPN. I hate that channel more then any other

[SirSnookalot]

Suspension may not be the right word, banned for life may work better. One of our offshore boat mates, whom I refuse to fish with, is a real PITA. He's uptight, doesn't know how to relax and go with the flow. He has to drive the boat, decide where and when to leave a spot, it's all about him. He whines when he isn't catching and gloats when he is, can't tie a hook on, get rid of a backlash or even put his rod in a rod holder to put his fighting belt on, all that said I have never been with a luckier guy. He catches the first and the biggest most of the time, using the same baits and gear as the others, and he is of the notion he's a world class fisherman. I won't fish with him anymore.

Acetylene will burn in the atmosphere without additional oxygen. But, it consumes oxygen faster than the surrounding air can provide it, thus it burns yellow/orange, and it smokes, indicating incomplete combustion of the "fuel". Thus additional oxygen must be provided for acetylene to produce the maximum heat of which it is capable. Too much oxygen at the torch will produce a "gap" between the flame, and the tip of the torch. You still have complete combustion, but it is not as hot because the excess oxygen acts to cool it as well as "drawing" surrounding air to the flame, cooling it further.

Which brings us to another question. If the above is true, why doesn't the extra oxygen introduced cool the flame rather than making it capable of cutting the metal. Simple answer. The extra jet of oxygen can cut metal only when the metal is heated to a combustible temperature by the heating flame. The extra oxygen then literally allows the heated metal to burn.

At least, that's how I understand it.

[ww2farmer]

This idiot I work with....we won't name name's. Always late, always wants to leave early, does the very least amount of work he can get away with. Is always "busy" when you need him to come in, and is always complaining he is not making enough money when work is slow. Steals stuff from other farms we go to, and is the " every one else is rich/lucky/keeping me down" guy.

[MyKeyBe]

lol. my mistake but kind of to the point. He'd still argue and he'd still know he was right.

[retiredbosn]

A friend who chooses to live with a wife who continually cheats on him and at times smacks him around. He has CP and so can't defend himself. He likes to call and whine, I've done all I can, had the state come in and do inspections, reported abuse of the disabled, etc.

WOW! This sound exactly like the wasteiod I was about to describe. I have to work with this turd every day. His vacation is my vacation. He is the single laziest person I've ever met. Thinks he knows everything about everything and that you are beneath him. He whines constantly that everybody else has got a better deal in life and that he always gets the hind teat. Talks bad about everyone, I mean everyone. Then is a total politician when that person is around! Easily my biggest challenge person.

This time of year, I do my fishing for mainly white bass.

[roadwarrior]

One of my heroes, John Elway.

[flippin and pitchin]

My personal circle is more like the Bermuda Triangle, friends keep dissappearing.

[Sam]

In professional ice hockey I would suspend the Rangers and Penguins and leave the conference open to the Flyers.

In professional basketball I would suspend the entire league as I really don't care anymore about professional basketball.

In college football it would be Satan and the Bamasux team.

In baseball it would be the Boston Red Sox as I am a Yankee fan.

In fishing it would be the jet skiers for life.

[royal0014]

yep...

[grampa1114]

You know, the people in my inner circle are there because I want them there. Family is family and you can't do much about that, but if you choose your friends wisely, and I think I have, then no suspensions are necessary, ever.

I want to issue a 1 month suspension from having fun for my Boxer Tyson for chewing and destroying not one but two pair of Costa 580's (at the same time)!
