LOL! I had two tickets, and I didn't get a single number!

That's great, Pete! What I've always wondered is...If these food are such poison, how has mankind made it for over 100,000 years eating them?

Here's a brief but interesting article that lists six foods that we've been told for years we should stay away from that are now being touted. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/03/28/6-forbidden-foods-can-eat/?intcmp=obnetwork

One of my favorite albums in college was Herbie Mann's Standing Ovation at Newport with Chick Corea and Dave Pike. I still have it somewhere in a box, but I haven't heard it in years. I found three of the four songs for 69 cents each. There's my two dollars right there!

LOL @ Moose!

The NHL Calgary Flames have owned 5% of the Stamps for the past few years. Today they increased the amount to 70%, at a price which values the team at $15 million. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/flames-buy-majority-stake-in-stampeders/article2385922/ http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391692 John Hufnagel agreed to a five-year extension of his contract, so there should be no major changes regarding the football operations of the team. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391717

Happy Birthday 2012 jlhoots!

I'll be one of those coming out of the woodwork!

Stan Kasten and Magic Johnson are getting the Dodgers for a whopping $2 billion. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/la-dodgers-sold-to-group-with-magic-johnson/article2383660/

The Als have signed Luc Mullinder again. http://tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=54526 ***** Dave Naylor has a good column comparing Tim Tebow's situation to Doug Flutie's - basically, he is too much of a distraction to be a second string quarterback, so nobody wants him. But I remember that Flutie played for $1 million a year when the Canadian dollar was worth 60 cents. Would Tebow be willing to play in the CFL for current CFL wages? By the way, the Ticats have the neg rights to Tebow. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391521

Remember Carl Hairston of the Philadelphia Eagles? Today the Lions named him their defensive line coach. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391163

I believe in the old baseball saying that it's better to trade a player a year too soon than a year too late. When you trade a player too soon, you get top value for him. But Denver got only two lower draft picks. Did no one want him? Say what you will about his lack of talent, Tebow showed when given the chance that he's a winner. Isn't that the idea? I also don't understand the idea that clearing Tebow out of town will make it easier for Manning, as the crowd won't be shouting for Tebow. Who cares what Manning thinks? Denver doesn't owe him anything. Manning has no goodwill with the Denver team or fans. He said at the Indianapolis press conference last week that he will always be a Colt. Why should Manning be made more comfortable in Denver than any other pro quarterback except Brady? The sports talkers on Sirius say that the Jets team is a zoo from the top down. I think that the Jets players would rally around Tebow if he came up with some fourth quarter wins like he did in Denver. Players want to win. Tebow is a star, and New York is the best place for stars to shine. This scenario reminds me of how the Bills players rallied around Doug Flutie when the coaches insisted that Rob Johnson was their man.

Not only is this cool, but it has a good beat and is easy to dance to!

I saw a mint on eBay two years ago. I think it went for $360, but my memory is fuzzy.

The Ticats have signed Luca Congi. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391093 ***** The Bombers traded Odell Willis to the Riders for draft picks. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391103

As expected throughout last season, Doug Brown has retired. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391002

This has made the rounds, but here it is in case you haven't seen it yet. A fellow I trust who goes by the name of mantic59 says that the basic two blade cartridge isn't bad, although not as good as a double edge safety razor blade. Here's Mark's (mantic's) analysis:

Do we have alder thickets in North Carolina?

I'm excited about all four of these. Two years ago Ketil Bjornstad's album Remembrance was my favorite new album of the year.

I have strong nostalgia for the soft drink logos of my childhood in the 50s, especially 7 Up, and I wish they would return to them.

Guys, I bought mine yesterday at 3:15 pm, and received my email confirmation at 11:35 this morning.

I guess the party is over. The word is that Amazon is "sold out", and is not taking any more orders.

Amazon has a program competing with Groupon and Living Social called Amazon Local. Today's deal is a $10 Amazon gift card for $5. The deal expires tonight at midnight pacific time. I think you can order it over the phone at 1-866-395-2090. I also think you can get it online at https://local.amazon.com/

I wish everyone well, but I am skeptical that Manning will last all year without an injury.
