That was pretty ugly. I think it might've been worse than the Pistons/Pacers brawl. I'm sure someone is going to claim that the new rules about on court behavior and techs have something to do with it, but there's no excuse for that crap.

What if I'm only into ethically space-influenced rock fusion?

orgasmo? Those guys rock it like robots!

That is awesome.

That's what YOU think.

Josh, Sending an email now. Thanks, ----Jim

RIP. Thanks for letting us know the sad news, Chuck.

"No, my dick chose for me"? There is also a guy here at work that is hardcore anti-gay. He also claims to have "chosen" to be hetero. Maybe he has.

Awesome. The guy makes a whole bunch of "scientific" claims about soy, talking about studies and the like, and provides absolutely no footnotes or links to said studies or any other actual "proof".

2000 to 3000 years is a drop in the bucket compared to 20 million.

I just cannot envision Kobe and AI playing together peacefully.

Well, the surgery seems to be a success. Not a fun ordeal, but better than I thought. I'm lying here in bed at home after walking around the house for a bit. My back is very sore, but its a different pain than before. And there's no pain running down my leg anymore (which is such a relief I cannot even explain). This is the first time I've ever been anesthetized fully. That was a trip. I'm still a little nauseous from it, but not bad enough that I couldn't down some chicken soup and Jell-O! I'm very happy I chose surgery, but I'm also happy I exhausted the other options first. I'm looking forward to feeling like a 29 year old again, instead of 70+. I'm also looking forward to losing some of the weight I've put on since the end of summer. Especially the last two months, I've basically spent any downtime either lying down or sitting because I couldn't do much at all. I can't wait to get outdoors and have fun in the snow with Zora! I've got about 6 weeks of recovery ahead of me. It will be hard not to pick-up Zora, but I couldn't even if I wanted to right now. Anyway, thanks for all the support. I went back and re-read this thread last night and it gave me confidence that I was doing the right thing, especially since some of you have experienced this very thing.

Going in tomorrow morning for the procedure. I'm really looking forward to it, actually.

So, if you can "smell" the notes, what happens when you put on some Parliment Funkadelic?

The only thing I can think of is to wire up a cable that would go to the input on your soundcard and then play the message into the computer and use something like Goldwave to record it. A cable could be make from an old "hands-free" headset. Or I suppose you could put the ear-piece of said headset up to a microphone plugged into your computer. Unfortunately the message itself resides on a server somewhere, not your phone, so it is not a sound file that you can transfer via a USB cable or whatnot.

I think it borders on ridiculous how territorial people can be when it comes to forums like these. Scott has done nothing to warrant any kind of special new post restrictions. In fact, he's been nothing but level-headed and logical, which probably makes those that disagree with him even more pissy. Personally, I find it silly that Chris decided to leave, but that's the way it goes. The more important question to me is why Weizen isn't posting much in the politics forum nowadays.

I think he got upset when I moderated and/or closed some threads of his that were, in my opinion, just fueling an unnecessary fire. It is unfortunate he chose to leave, but that is his choice. I have no idea what happened to Fitzgerald. People come and people go, I suppose.

Nice win for the Pistons tonight.

I was too harsh and who knows what I'd do if I was in the same situation. I would probably go look for help, too. But I'm pretty confident I would not go into the forest. It seems like the most logical thing to do would be either to follow the road back the way you came or follow the road ahead. But like Joe said, sometimes logic goes out the window. I apologize for being too harsh on the poor guy.

Indeed he did. Metheny/Mehldau was released on Sept. 12. I know. Hence the smiley! This must be the end of a streak... no Metheny nomination!

My wife and I were just talking about that movie today in the car. I have not seen it and by her descriptions I don't think I want to. I do want to the see "The Fountain" however. Randy saw it and said it made absolutely no sense. Sounds good to me!

I did an on-air interview with one of the DJs a few weeks ago... real cool cat we met in DC at Twins named Brian. It was a very fun interview, and very VERY interesting. We even had some callers join the discussion. It was a trip.

I didn't mean to be harsh on the guy. Obviously they were in a desperate situation and it ended in tragedy. But I would not call his actions "heroic". He had good intentions but extremely poor judgement, imo. But what does it matter? The poor guy is dead and his babies have no dad. That sucks.

Ok... I feel bad for the family, but honestly... heroric!?! More like idiotic. Leave your kids and your wife in a car while you trek out blindly into a snowstorm with tennis shoes and no coat? That's not heroric. That's dumb. The very least he should've done if he was going to go for help is continue down the road, not go "off-roading" into ravines and down cliffs.

Did he release anything this year?
