Free For All

Damn, did you see the Metrodome collapse? Between that and the Giants' travel problems this game seems to be cursed. So they're going to play it in Detroit tomorrow night? Divine intervention on Favre's behalf? Although one more day is unlikely to change his status.

"We serve hard drinks for men who want to get drunk fast". What's not to like about that??? All Hail Pottersville! I'll bet Nick's serve a wicked Long Island Tea. No way. That's a total wuss drink. Nick's was all about Whiskey and Scotch. Neat. Get with the program, FFA. :P:)

James Brown/Oliver Nelson charts/Louis Bellson band. Very odd combination but dammit, I like it!

Now watching It's a Wonderful Life for the gazillionth time. I'm sorry, there's no way that phono turntable had enough torque to also make the chicken rotisserie turn. This movie is ruined for me now. Plus, the "evil" Bedford Falls (aka Pottersville) is where all the clubs/gigs are. Also, the spinster/librarian Donna Reed is still pretty hot. Pottersville > Bedford Falls. Discuss.

I have a few autographed CDs including Ed Thigpen's Out of the Storm and Mel Lewis' Soft Lights & Hot Music. Actually Maria Schneider got the latter for me when we were at the Vanguard to hear Mel's band.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooole!!!!!

HBGOM! ....and many more.

I think many college teams do play a 12-game schedule now. A shorter bowl season ending emphatically on Jan. 1 would be nice. One of my big complaints about the length of the current bowl season is the amount of downtime that precedes the championship game. Too much time for rust to set in as well as all the media distractions.

Bye bye Urban Meyer

Agreed.

Shirley you're not surprised by that.

I forgot that series only went six episodes. Too bad. I loved the Quinn Martin-type opening with the guest star who gets killed during the opening credits. And the on-screen/narrated episode title that don't match. "Cigarette?" "Yes, it is."

I'm a fan.

I was hopefully clicking on the word "much" which I thought was a link to said deals......

I received my photos from James- they were perfectly packed and in pristine condition. Well worth the money! Highly recommended. I purchased the Herbie and Trane/Monk- both will be framed and hung in my office for all to enjoy. Thanks James!

You've got it Brad, and that ain't Goode..... I played in Brad's quintet at the Green Mill in Chicago for most of the 90s. Cat can play, no doubt. Many great players sat in with that group including Von Freeman, Eddie Harris, Ira Sullivan and Linn Halliday, to name a prestigious few.

Ira Newborn

Happy Birfday Beef!

Congrats buddy! She's a sweet & beautiful lady and found herself a great guy! All the best to both of you (and the kids)!! EDIT: Bone chance!

While I was consulting with a friend via cell phone, another guy casually walked up. I saw his double take when he saw the price. Try as he might to appear disinterested, I knew he was circling in for the kill. So, I leaned over and removed the price tag. SOLD! Maybe he worked at the thrift shop, and was making you THINK he was another customer? Seriously, congrats. Excellent find.

I flew out of Tallahassee yesterday and there was no pat-down, no nothing. Obviously it's a small airport, but I thought there might have been something different in the security check-in. Not the case. My return flight leaves from Denver, I'm sure that will be more like what I expect it to be.

Oh yes oh yes.....it's Turducken Time® !!!

Just dug up this thread from the old days. Always interesting to read from what seems like a lifetime ago. So- I'm off to the airport for my holiday security groping. Safe travels to everyone, and I hope you all enjoy the holiday!
