Image
And then there was at least one, otherwise this would be awkward. Let’s see which of your prime answers have the power to be The One of the “what would you rather have one of’s.” The Money: DR, BO, ANe, SZ, ANo all want versions of a large bank account  (+2) . Something Creative (KS) is going to make it happen in his new one day work week  (+3) . The Power: CC, BF, DW all want just one significant other  (+2) . Although Beelzebubbles’ (CC) “baby daddy” answer rises above  (+4) . Big Papa (AM) prefers just one headache, which must be related to power -- or both his heads are hurting and I'm sorry about that   (+3) The Rest: Katy Tigers (RH) just wants one bill to pay. I’m assuming you like all-inclusive vacations too  (+3) . Accidentchild (MN) wants one child, and hopefully, the other 3 don’t read P-F blog posts  (+3) . Huntwick Homies (KW) would rather have just one round of chicken pox, and you’ll have to explain, because I didn’t thin...

Commish: It is an a sk me anything again! But hopefully something you haven't already asked. Let’s press the triangle button. Guru (ANe): What's your inspiration?

P-F18: Week 2 NFL Bonus - #MNFtwo'd

Monday the NFL gave us two prime-time football games, but what if the NFL genie granted us two of something else? Most of you want MONEY . It’s been said in song that money can’t buy happiness, but it has been shown by science that money *can* buy happiness. Money can buy hot tracks, but it can’t buy sense. To I Look Good On Top (BF) , Beelzebubbles (CC) , 17 National Championships (CG) , Something Creative (KS) , and Shake and Baker (JN) : Remember to practice good picking. Use your extra money on experiences, not things. (3 points) Instead of two million or billions of dollars, I respect Dirt Burglars (DT) wish of TWO PAYCHECKS . That’s a responsible choice. He didn’t mention, but let’s assume someone with that class would also work two jobs for those two paychecks. (4 points) Also with a mature response was Cornholio’s Bunghole (BO) ( editor's note: I see the irony there now ), who wanted TWO 401K’s . Stay healthy, my friend. (5 points) Others felt a little more Ch...
