Noj

To be fair, just put me down for the lowest score since I forgot to post--6-10.

My favorite track is "Nakatini Suite."

Happy Birthday Relyles!

One phrase made me cringe when reading that essay: "even girls like it." Otherwise, I'm pretty much on the same page.

FWIW, eyes are full-grown at birth.

A very good friend of mine married the mother of his daughter about five years ago, in a bit of a shotgun wedding. The marriage had been without romance for several years and ended recently in a fairly amiable split. So, marrying for the sake of a child doesn't necessarily help the situation. Pregnancy with the wrong girl makes things messy, that's for sure.

Noj, I was rootin' for your guys to win that one. I heard whistles before the kick so I assume the TO was called in time, but I felt sorry for Janikowski nonetheless. What a MF mindf*ck! Definititely seemed like a home field gift for Shanahan. Janikowski should have made it the second time too. Still, a 52-yarder, that's no gimme. I don't think the defense should be given that sort of demand with time outs. Either call it early enough to stop the snap of the ball, or the refs should ignore a defensive team in that situation. I know I've seen them ignore coaches in that situation in the past, or maybe they just ignore the Raiders. But hey, it was in Denver so Shanahan gets whatever his little elvish heart desires and the ball gets spotted an extra 12 inches every time the home team runs the ball. I hate the NFL. What Shanahan did was completely within the rules. A few years ago they gave coaches the right to call timeouts from the sideline, what they usually do is call the ref over and let them know that they'll be calling a timeout "at the last second" prior to the snap. As long as they gave the ref the heads up that the timeout is coming, they are granted the timeout. What Shanahan did was the new millennium version of "icing the kicker"...and in this case it worked. I still think it's kind of shitty, but there is no cheating involved. I don't want to hear that kind of good reasoned argument, I'm trying to whine here. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll continue to wallow in the agony of Raider fandom.

122 share my name, and my last name is the 142nd most common name.

Nice late timeout call the Mile High zebras awarded the Broncos to nullify a game-winning 52-yard field goal by Janikowski. Are you ready for some cheatball?

I'm in the same boat as trane_fanatic. 31 and can't seem to meet the right gal...

What I said!

There's another program called iPod Access for Mac which costs about 15 clams.

How'd I miss this one? I hope it was a good one, vibes!

Happy Birthday, Dangerous Dan!

I'd probably like it, sounds like my bag. I really dig a Klemmer tune called "Free Soul" from one of his later efforts. But then, it's always more about individual songs than whole albums for me... Hey now!

Damn, that Gaturs stuff is funky. RIP, Willie Tee.

Crazy. From every interview I've seen with Isiah I would never guess he would behave in such a way. He seemed soft-spoken and easy-going. Plus he and Magic used to kiss before games.

Hey, that's all on Jamarcus. The largest offer ever made to a number one has been on the table for some time. Maybe it was his best bet to wait this long so he's guaranteed to not start while the Raiders have such an atrocious offensive line. Next, fake a few injuries and miss most of the season then demand a trade.

Hell, try something. Put the o-line and d-line on the Balco diet.

I've known the Pats were a bunch of miserable cheaters for a long time.

Oooh, I know Eugene from compilations. I'm all over that one.
