just heard about this story. and as with anything Trump related, it's hard to fathom that this is true:

Barron Trump is named after a man named John Barron, who was actually a fictional publicist that trump created to call the media and brag about himself.
He named his kid after his his self-created alias he used to con the media.

Ingersoll Lockwood, an American political writer, lawyer and novelist, combined a unique mixture of science fiction and fantasy into his novels from the late 1800s. Two of his most popular works of literature were illustrated children’s stories, focusing on a peculiar fictional character whose name rings a bell in 2017: Baron Trump.
Trump, an aristocratically wealthy young man living in Castle Trump, is the protagonist of Lockwood's first two fictional novels, The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulgar and Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey. The little boy, who has an unending imagination and "a very active brain," is bored of the luxurious lifestyle he has grown so accustomed to. In a twist of fate, Trump visits Russia to embark on an extraordinary adventure that will shape the rest of his life.
Lockwood's final novel arrived in 1896, titled The Last President.

Nice story, could have used a vampire though.
 
Best Halloween costume ever.

my own trick....

When a person is talking with their friends and they smile/laugh, corner of your eye notice them and turn and look at them. Do this a few times....that person will think of you fondly, in their mind associate you with being happy, also wont be afraid to smile at you directly in future. This is a good trick for when you like someone you don't know and want them to like you.

On the Raiders site I frequent, the guys there often post pics of hot chicks, and all make comments about how hot she is, etc. I always like to play with their minds tho, pointing out all the things you DON'T see in the pic that could make her ugly, or sometimes the things you do see. Anyway, just got them good today...

Not sure if there is a rules thread? Feel free to redirect me if there is. Learning the basics of downs. My understanding is you get 4 downs to make 10 yards from the first scrimmage. Question is, if you do make the 10 yards before or on the 4th down do you retain possesion for another 4 downs to make a further 10 yards? Or do you lose possesion like rugby league after 5 tackles?

You retain possession

but if you fail on the 4th down possession turns over.

That's why teams usually punt the ball on 4th down to gain field position
