Happy Birthday, Chris!

GA - I recommend using the codes fairly quickly when they're posted, I don't know how long they last. Four more - each is for one free cd: C8E1 C8E2 C8E3 C8E4

bump... Bill Watrous is in town this weekend for the Texas Jazz Festival. His was actually about the only name I recognized on the schedule (despite the name, it's more of a local/regional/state musician thing than bigger, more well known names, for the most part). Bill's playing with the San Gabriel 7. I may try to get down there tonight or tomorrow night, but I don't know if my kids will be able to handle an evening of jazz (yet).

Giovanni Tommaso?

There's a companion piece, "Another Shade of Blue", with the same lineup. I don't think I have these titles anymore, but I thought they were from the same performance. AMG/Ken Dryden says ASoB was recorded a year later at the same venue.

So when Safety Roy Williams returns to active status in a couple of weeks, are both of their jerseys going to say "Roy Williams" on them? Has a team ever had two players with the same name before? And Conn, I think I may agree with you. Detroit did well in this trade. I don't know if Williams was worth a 1st and 3rd. Probably just a 1st.

Jeez - never a dull moment in Cowboy-land. They just picked up Detroit WR Roy Williams, for a 1st, 3rd ,& 6th Rd pick in next year's draft. I don't think Brad Johnson will be able to get him the ball either, just like he won't be able to get it to T.O.

Tell you what, you buy an Organissimo CD, and I'll buy a Tori Amos CD. Deal?

That's going to make things interesting in Dallas. As if underperforming weren't enough, now they've got to hand the offense over to Brad Johnson for the next month. I hope his jello arm can get the ball to T.O., or things could get ugly real quick. In addition to Romo being out for a month, Felix Jones is out for a bit, Sam Hurd is out for the year, and punter Matt McBriar is out for the year with a broken foot (from that kick attempt in overtime). In addition to Roy Williams being out, and Terence Newman being out. Man, that's alot of starters and contributors there. Plus one.

Sloppy AZ/Dal game today. Romo had fumble-itis today, and didn't seem sharp, despite throwing for over 300 yards. No real long passes though, mostly dump offs and things. At least he didn't have an INT today I guess. Cowboys got lucky to tie it at the end of regulation. Got the ball down to about the 40 with 3 seconds left, to attempt a 57 yard game-tying FG. But one of the Cards didn't get to the line of scrimmage in time and the Cards were assessed a 5 yard penalty, helping the Cowboys out. Then the Cards coach called a timeout on the FG attempt, which got blocked and would have given the Cards the game. Nick Folk made the second FG to tie and send the game into OT. Then the Cowboys go 3 and out, and the punt gets blocked and walked into the endzone for the game winning score. Aargh.

Wild Texas-OU game so far! Texas is up 45-35 with 4 minutes left. Texas got lucky earlier on a blown call - Oklahoma had an INT in the end zone, but the refs ruled that the OU guy didn't control the ball, so Texas got the ball back and hit a field goal. Looked pretty clearly like an INT to me.

Ok so I was wrong. There's a seller on Amazon Marketplace offering this now for $16.62, and it's being fulfilled through Amazon. Despite the description (scratches, wrinkles, etc), I think these are new copies. People on the Hoffman Board are reporting receiving them in perfect condition. So $16.62 + $2.98 shipping, total of $19.60. That's a good deal on this package (despite any opinions about the movie itself LOL). Also, it qualifies as an Amazon purchase, so if you combine it with any other items and the total is over $25, shipping is free.

Wasn't sure where to put this, and didn't think it was worth a new thread, so here it is, LOL. May Pang did an online chat today from Denver, where she's participating in some sort of Lennon birthday event. I got a question in at the end of the discussion: From Aggie: If Yoko was actually instrumental in putting you and John together originally, why do you think she doesn't talk with you these days? May_Pang: Even though Yoko wanted us to be together it was actually John who pursued me. I decided to go off with him. It was really John himself. She suggested, but it was John who initiated it at the end. Not really a direct answer about Yoko, but still interesting. Pang has a few interesting photos on her website - her with Julian & Cynthia, Paul, etc. Another interesting question: noozgroop: Can you give more information about the photo of John and Paul, circa 1974, in your book? What went on that day? May_Pang: Just relaxing. It was the day after the first visit to the Harry Nilsson session. The next day he brought Linda and the kids so everyone was relaxing at the house in Santa Monica. It was just a day at the house. If anyone was hungry they got food. Paul sat at the piano and played piano. Mary looked at him and said 'Dad, are you some kind of pop star?' I think she was 5 or 6 at the time.

...except for the Tori Amos bit.

What a strange life this guy's having: Keep girlfriend stashed in bathroom for years. Receive 6 months probation. Win state lottery. Expose self to teenage neighbor. Receive 6 month's jail time, but apparently don't go. Win state lottery again.

I guess the dude didn't spend 6 months in jail after all... Boyfriend of woman stuck to toilet wins $20,000 in Kansas Lottery GREAT BEND, Kan. – A Kansas man whose girlfriend was physically stuck to the toilet in their home has won $20,000 in the state Lottery – for the second time this year. Kory McFarren of Ness City cashed in his winning $2 Bonus Crossword ticket in Great Bend Monday. On July 29, the 37-year-old McFarren received six months of probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor mistreatment of a dependent adult. McFarren called Ness County deputies in February to report that his girlfriend, Pam Babcock, had refused to come out of the bathroom for two years. Authorities found her stuck to the toilet. Medical personnel estimated Babcock had been on the toilet for at least a month and said the seat had adhered to sores on her body. She was released from a Wichita hospital after several months of treatment.

...was her date male or female? <ducking from Uncle Skid's wrath>

Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks for the heads-up, Clifford! Didn't realize they'd started up the performances at UT PAC again.

I think there's a time difference between the U.S. and Canada. He must be picking them after the games are already over...

Did you know if you rearrange her name you can get: Moist Oar or Sitar Moo
