Yeah, it's not my cup of tea. Sounds like a bunch of loose jam sessions to me.

Poor Agg! He's the sweetest guy you'd ever know in person but he always gets embroiled in some philosophical tit for tats! Best answer for all is to get to know one another on live chat. It builds an appreciation and even tolerance for other members. Chuck's not interested. He has "been there, done that!"

Thanks for the headsup!

Saw the Piston's game last night. The series will definitely go seven games. I think Detroit will win in the end. No idea about the other series.

Nice to see you back, Jim.

Happy Birthday Jim. Haven't read the thread yet, but hope you managed to spend it with your family. Paul

yes, I have modified thoughts of travelling. Gas prices have affected my way of life. No biggie.

yes

68% Dixie, and I never grew up in the US.

For that matter, I'm not sure you can play Chuck around the wife or kids either.

Great news, Shawn! Glad to hear things have worked out.

Looks like we've hit a temporary bubble. Perhaps investor's should stay long on oil in the long run, but it looks like speculators have driven the price over the last few months. We have to be due for a pullback. Even if the supply side doesn't change much, lower demand should force prices down as people reduce oil consumption.

Really funny stuff. I wouldn't mess with Gary's bodyguard: he was all business when he swatted the flying dildo!

Happy Birthday Chuck!

I like the Hutch very much. I don't have it in front of me but the tune with "Togo" in the name is really outstanding. Kind of moderately experimental stuff that was somewhat typical of its time. This one will hold up, I think. I'm glad I bought it. Stix Hooper is one of the drummers and he always "brings it!"

I wish Jarrett would STFU too! But the music is so good that it's still worth listening.

Wow, just came upon this thread. Sad to hear the news. Your father (and mother) were too young to go. Well, maybe that's not the right way to look at it. We go when we go; but still.... Stay strong and recognize you have a good family and stable of friends. Damnit though, that news sucks. Oh well.

There's been talk about Buffalo moving the franchise, and the owner always bitches about the disadvantages of operating out of a small city such as Buffalo. It's funny: I know several people who live in Toronto, and they are all Buffalo Bills fans!

NFL statement: "this is consistent with what the patriots had admitted they have been doing, consistent with what we already knew"nfl spokeman Greg Aiello told the associated press. loo,ks like this is over a non story

*yawn* Belichick had already reported to Goodell that he had been taping signals since 2000, but that the tapes had never been used for the game. They had been used to compile a library of signals to be used in future games. Most teams change their signals, so the value of these efforts are in doubt. These actions are typical of Bill Belichick's throroughness as far as preparing for games. We don't know how much help they proved to be. Anyway, the first round draft choice was docked and the fine levied when BB admitted such taping since 2000. Walsh has nothing new to add.

I'll try and watch it this week. I'm a sucker for superhero movies.

Got my discs yesterday. Thanks!
