PHILLYQ

Of course, the SB is on CBS so what's left of the Who will play all three 'CSI' theme songs!

I ordered one today- how could I resist at that price? Thanks much Matteson, for the tip.

What will happen to the rest of the economy when the Getz box-set bubble collapses?

Scott Boras really screwed Damon on this one- what I recall is Boras saying that Damon shouldn't have to take a pay cut from the $13mil/yr he had with the Yanks and he wanted 3/4 years. Supposedly he told the Yanks not to even bother making an offer if it wasn't in line with that. It looks like Damon will now wind up playing for a non-contender for less money than what the Yanks eventually offered to him(2 yrs/14mil), all because Boras horribly misread the market and the Yanks. I'm sorry to see him go, but he wanted more than what the Yanks wanted to pay, so as Vajerzy said, supply and demand.

It's also worth noting that maybe Favre felt he couldn't run on the fateful across-the-body interception play- maybe his ankle was killin' him, so he went for a pass when he could have run and...

I read an article in the Village Voice that called 'The Inner Mounting Flame' by Mahavishnu the album of the year(it was 1972 when the article appeared). Curious, I got hold of it, played it every day for a month straight and I couldn't quite get it. Luckily, Mahavishnu was playing in NYC about a month later, so I went and I'got it'!!! That led to Miles(Live/Evil, Big Fun,etc)and that led to everybody by branching out.

I was in J&R last night and I'm pretty sure I saw it there-check their website.

If you put money on the Jets last week you have more money now... I think the Jets can at least cover the spread, and they are playing greaaaaat defense.

Don't get anything remastered by Hershey- low quality, instruments tend to melt together.

happy Birthday, David- swing it in 7/4!!!

This is what drives my absolutely batstuff crazy: I knew we ran a legit program is pure bs coming out of the mouth of LaRussa. Peter Gammons ran an article accusing Jose Canseco of juicing way back in the 1980s, papers constantly ran articles on the A's and steroids, of course, St. Anthony denied everything (in fact, he went off on a major Gammons rant, calling him everything in the book). Tony, I don't know about anyone else, but I never did, do not now, nor will I ever buy your blind eye excuses. Why people think this guy has any integrity is beyond me. He's on ARod's level in my book. maybe LaRussa was drunk and behind the wheel?

Mine shipped also- many thanks for the tip, matthew

I've never heard anything by Evan Parker- any recs as a starting point, favorites, etc? Thank you very much.

They have a wonderful pretzel factory in Lititz(lit its), and it's not that far from Intercourse, PA.

Happy festivus one and all! I'm not going to do the wrestling(My son is 17 and he'll destroy me!) but I may do something with aluminum foil.

I stand guilty, 22 years and my psychic abilities are STILL lacking- tell me what you want and I'll scour NYC to find it! I

But did they have to make Zoe Saldana blue?! She's gorgeous as is!!!

Something very similar happened to a friend of the family. She was getting remarried and was dropping weight like crazy (to the point where she became unattractively thin) and then she had some blood sugar problem (leukocytes?) and went into cardiac arrest. She was about 36. If Britney Murphy was indeed anorexic, then catching any kind of illness could definitely push her over the edge. So sad. RIP Karen Carpenter also.

Born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn! He had a run of comedies with 'Blazing Saddles', "High Anxiety', "Silent Movie' and 'Young Frankenstein' that was unmatched.

I like a rare burger with BBQ sauce on top and then coleslaw on top of that on a soft kaiser roll. I had one yesterday for lunch- excellent!!!

I saw a photo today in the NY Daily News from 12/1 and she looked emaciated, albeit with a beautiful dress, nice makeup and a nice hair style. Dress it up all you want, she looked very sick. here's a link to the photo, but be forewarned, it's sickening: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/galleries/brittany_murphys_life_in_photos/brittany_murphys_life_in_photos.html

two Tiger/Santa jokes: Q) What's the difference betwen Tiger and Santa? A) Santa stopped at three hos!!! Tiger went to see Santa, Santa said "Ho!Ho!Ho!, Tiger said "Where where where"

Yes to all the above, that's what I always thought. I was also at one of the concerts and I remember it as absolutely mind-blowing!!! I was 17 and even though I had seen Mahavihnu the year before, this was even more special to me. Mahavihnu led me into all other kinds of jazz, as I searched out anything with McLaughlin and found 'Live/Evil', etc.
