The Argos have cut Wes Lysack. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387735

I have an Epson printer. Last night I looked at replacement ink cartridges, and the Epson brand was pretty expensive. Are the competitors' cartridges good enough in your opinion, or are they likely to screw up and foul my printer? By the way, I put one set of cartridges on my wish list last night, and now there are two ads for it showing up when I visit Drudge. Talk about Big Brother!

That didn't take long. The Argos have signed Marc Parenteau. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387723

Jamal Lee has retired. Famous mostly for being Orville Lee's son, I guess he just wasn't playing enough. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387708

TSN has changed the text of its Messam article linked to above. Now the word is that Miami has offered him a contract, but he hasn't signed it yet. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/jerome-messam-mulling-over-deal-with-dolphins/article2335531/

Jerome Messam has signed with Miami. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387601

Wasn't it called "The Greatest Love of All"?

The Als have released Sandro DeAngelis. How the mighty have fallen. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387531

Thanks sonnymax!

Happy Birthday 2012 Bruce!

The Rams found something about Olafioye's health that they didn't like, so he has returned to the Lions. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387381 ***** Marc Cohon's contract has been extended for three years. I've got nothing at all against him, but I've never understood why everybody likes him and so many important people didn't like Tom Wright. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387345 ***** Wes Cates is set to become a free agent, and the Riders have decided that they won't try to sign him. The Riders also released Marc Parenteau. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387405

When I was a freshman in college in 1969, I sent away for and received the Prestige catalogue, which was nothing more than a few 8.5 x 11 pieces of paper with artist, title and price. It is my recollection that all of the New Jazz albums were one dollar less than the Prestige albums. That was one of the reasons I ordered a couple of New Jazz albums! (Trumpet Giants with Dizzy, Fats and Miles; and Ezz-thetic with Miles and Lee, along with some Teddy Charles and Billy Bauer)

Gene Vincent?

Correct, Shawn! Very good.

Happy Birthday Michael!

This one's too hard. I doubt you'll get her.

As the "mod" of this thread, I'd like to congratulate everyone who has kept it going much longer than I thought it would go. So in the spirit of celebration, and in honor of St. Valentine's Day, I suggest that between now and February 14, should a suggested theme be too hard it may be substituted with five albums which contain the words PLAYS FOR LOVERS in the title!!!

At that price, I highly recommend the Sergio Mendes box. Favorite Things is weak, and I haven't heard Great Arrival, but Beat of Brazil, El Matador and Swinger are great.

The Regattabar!

LL Bean has in the past year started using in their catalogue a young thing whom I think is gorgeous. You can see her here with the "Get Set for Spring with Classic Women's Styles" photo. http://www.llbean.com/

The Als have released Anwar Stewart and Danny Desriveaux. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387259 ***** Indianapolis has struck again, this time signing Justin Hickman. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387264 ***** Alan Thicke once tried to line up a group to buy the Ticats, and had Martin Short and OJ Simpson on board. It all ended when Simpson got arrested. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387159 ***** Ricky Williams has retired from the NFL. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/ricky-williams-retiring-from-nfl/article2329677/

Happy Birthday 2012 mr jazz!

I believe I read years ago that it was a car accident. Funny that there are a few different stories.

For those of you who are history buffs and are curious about origins, I read on the internet a few years back that the middle finger gesture originated at the Battle of Agincourt. But here is an article from the BBC that says that it is 2,400 years old. http://www.bbc.co.uk...gazine-16916263

Looks like Ursala Undress. I mean Andress. PS - Now that I have looked up Honey Ryder on Wikipedia because the name meant nothing to me, I see that my comment is superfluous. Oh well.
