Van Basten II

Considering the few responses it got, guess that Geogia was not on anybody's mind

Impressive win for Sharapova, boy what a great first serve can do for your game.

somehow you doubt I'm a woman? It's just that when i searched for female members in the search function, your name did not come up. My apologies if i offended you in any way.

Which gender they have selected in their profile ?

Among the few ladies hanging around there is Elissa who comes to mind. There is a function that allows us to know the gender of the members, as long as they gave us the correct info in their profile. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?act=members

Joyeux anniversaire, mes voeux les plus sincères. Diantre, avec le départ de Brownie est-ce que je deviens le doyen des francos de ce forum ?

Few days after Brad Renfro, that's a shame to see all that wasted talent.

Don't watch much NHL nowadays but have a rooting interest for the Habs and am always pleased in the Leafs misery. In NFL, i cheer for the Steelers, had an alliance with the Bills when Levy was the head coach though, don't like the Cowboys. In futbol, i cheer for the French team and i have all kind of problems with the Italian side. On the domestic side my team in France is St-Étienne while i applaud any disasters done by Marseille. Other favourite domestic sides include Werder Bremen in Germany, Barcelona in Spain and Arsenal in England. My pet peeves are Bayern, Real Madrid and MU and about all the Calcio teams.

Looks like it's time for a separate sports forum. Not a bad idea, not so sure that the action on this board warrants one, think i'll start a thread about that, maybe we'll get as much milleage as the one about the Classical music section

I've noticed that in the sports related threads there is often confusion about the allegiances of certain forum members, sports wise. Thought it would be useful to start a thread that will put it everything in the open. So tell us who are your favourite teams in any sport that you follow closely or not. And also since sports offers us the thrilling joy of having the pleasure of seeing the teams that we hate getting beaten in a cruel fashion, so why not mention the teams that you feel that as much pleasure losing as you see your favourite teams lose. I'll add up mine tomorrow.

Not a Pats fan either, but when you see a team on the verge of doing something special like staying undefeated throughout the season and beyond, can't help for rooting for them. Heck when MU did the treble, i pulled for them and i loathe MU. Just hope that once that they retire they don't act lke assholes about it like the 72 Dolphins did

Is it the first time that two brothers lead as quarterbacks their team to a Super Bowl ?

La Liga has a few interesting games this weekend Villareal-Valencia late saturday and a nice doubleheader sunday with the Madrid derby and Barcelona receiving Racing Santander.

Probably not worth a thread but worth mentionning former Montreal Expos president John McHale passed away John McHale, first president of the Montreal Expos, dead at 86 1 day ago John McHale was a key figure in bringing major league baseball to Canada. The Detroit native, who died Thursday at the age of 86, helped Montreal secure an expansion franchise while working in the baseball commissioner's office in 1968, and then served as the Expos president - later adding the duties of general manager - until 1986. McHale had recently suffered a stroke. He died Thursday morning in a hospice unit near his home in Palm City. A modest ballplayer, McHale batted .193 in only 64 games for the Detroit Tigers in the 1940s, McHale made his name in management, serving in the Detroit, Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and Expos organizations, as well as working for Major League Baseball. Most recently, he was on baseball's veterans committee and served on the board of directors for the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was also a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. "He was a really bright guy," said Jim Fanning, a longtime friend who worked with McHale in the Braves and Expos organizations. "He played for the Tigers, became a farm director, a scouting director and a GM. "His background was incredible. It was easy to learn from him." Commissioner Bid Selig called McHale "one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known. "He was a long time mentor of mine and I had the pleasure of serving with him on the board of directors of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Baseball has lost one of its most respected figures." McHale was an aide to former commissioner William Eckert in the 1960s when the National League was looking to expand by two teams - San Diego and either Montreal or Buffalo. He was deeply involved as National League president Warren Giles helped sort out Montreal's fractured ownership group, settling on majority ownership by Charles Bronfman, which saved the Montreal bid, Fanning said. McHale then turned down an offer to replace Eckert as commissioner to join the new franchise as its first president. "He was a baseball guy," said Fanning, who joined McHale as GM of the new team. Fanning, who now works in community relations for the Toronto Blue Jays, said McHale got experience in bringing baseball to new markets when the Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in the mid-1960s. He handed management of the team to Fanning for the 1965 season while he moved to Atlanta to help sell the game in the southeastern U.S. market. "What we learned from that experience is part of what we brought to Montreal," Fanning added. The Expos were a hit when they began play at Jarry Park in 1969, but despite having talent-packed lineups in the early 1980s and 1990s, never won a championship. The team moved to Washington after the 2004 season. From 1978 to 1984, McHale added the GM's job to his duties to deal with rising salaries and the increasing presence of agents in baseball. With Fanning as manager, he took the Expos to their only playoff appearance in 1981, when he was named The Sporting News executive of the year. He was replaced as president in 1986 by Claude Brochu. "He had a presence that was almost regal," Fanning recalled. "He was tall, bright, well-spoken - a really fantastic person." As a player, McHale was a left-hand hitting first baseman with three career home runs for the Tigers. He went 0-3 in the 1945 World Series, won by Detroit in seven games over the Chicago Cubs. McHale's son John Jr. is a vice-president of Major League Baseball.

Here's a sample of the fine posts you can find on this great board. Hello all. I am known at my local Sonic as "the ice lady." I call ahead and they save the "good" ice for me. As it falls, they keep scooping it over to the other side. I usually get about 9-10 bags at a time. I have a small upright freezer in my garage to house my treasure! In my indoor freezer, I have a Rubbermaid container where I store a couple bags at a time. I bring it in from the garage, pound it with a rolling pin to loosen, and dump in my kitchen container. It is the best ice EVER!! My husband is very close to getting me a nugget ice machine. I hooked up with a guy on eBay who sells refurbished ones. They are so darn expensive, though. I can get one for $1,400, and he will pay shipping. I know, I know, a lot of money for a stupid ice machine. But how awesome to have my own Sonic ice machine in my garage!!! Does anyone here have any experience with installing one of these things? Anyone have one? Oh, I also found a dealership in St. Louis (15 minutes from me) that sells new "Sonic" ice machines. They have small ones that they install in homes!! I was so excited until I found out the cost...$3,700. No way. Gas is expensive, but I'll keep driving to my local Sonic!! And i felt like a loser posting about the latest cds i bought.

Do you have pictures of her without undies
