I don't know. I'm in the middle of archiving my collection of autographed guitar picks and cross-referencing each one with their corresponding setlist while wearing one of my many striped shirts and waiting for the video to 'The Longest Summer' to download....

uh.... we're called Metheniacs.

Guess the refs didn't see it that way.

True, it was a hard foul, but it wasn't flagrant. Detroit, of all teams, shouldn't be surprised by 'hard fouls'. Nor is getting punched from behind... Just ask Fred Jones who got cold-cocked by Ben Wallace's brother. As for fans everywhere getting ramped up.... I've been to quite a few NBA games in other cities. I still stand by my assessment. I guess my point is that I expect better behavior from mothers who are taking their children to the bathroom and was quite shocked that they would be inciting fights like that. Did I mention it was in front of their children?

Obviously not, but I've encountered a hoard of loud-mouthed, drunken mothers with children screaming profanities about how 'they beat the GD, MF'in Pacers' and urging anybody (with palms up, waving fingers) to 'bring it on'....Yeah, they were Detroit fans and this was in the ladies restroom at Conseco. I think if you took a poll here (by 'here' I mean Indy, not this board, obviously ), and included the guy in charge of ticket sales, they would probably agree with me. It would just mean more tix for us....

I think it's pretty fair. Ben Wallace should get more than a 5 game suspension, but certainly not to the extent that O'Neal and Artest deserve. I think to round it out, however, Detroit should have some sort of time frame of playing in an empty arena, at least until Palace officials can prove that they can provide adequate security. I would add that banning alcohol would help (but considering my experiences with Detroit fans, that probably wouldn't matter.) If it were possible, I think the Pacers should ban the sale of tix to Detroit fans at any game at Conseco--they were disgusting and pathetic when they came here during the playoffs last May (and I'm referring to the women w/children... I won't even comment on the men.)

Hang in there Alison; we're all pulling for you.

Hey SS1--was that spread 3.5 points? or 3.5 touchdowns? keep workin' your magic... kisses, rache.

Check your head... I think Cannonball was referring to "Dead Prez" as being intelligent black guys who are politically conscious...

Try "kick"...

Hey Dr. R: let me buy ya a drink...

For the lady in your life....

Are you sure this is satire?

You should check out my recipe for "Cranberry-Tequila Cream Cheese Tart w/ Cornmeal Crust" ... but Rooster said he wanted Cranberry sauce.

this one is simple... SPICED CRANBERRY SAUCE Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. a 12-ounce bag of cranberries, picked over 1/2 cup honey 2 to 3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar, or to taste two 3-inch cinnamon sticks 6 whole cloves 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste 3/4 cup water In a saucepan combine the cranberries, the honey, the brown sugar, the cinnamon sticks, the cloves, the nutmeg, and the water and simmer the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the mixture is thickened. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it cool. The sauce may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the sauce at room temperature. NOTE: You can substitute 3/4 cup orange juice instead of water... Makes about 2 1/4 cups

for Grand Marnier lovers... GRAND MARNIER CRANBERRY SAUCE 1 12-ounce package fresh cranberries 1 1/4 cups sugar 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur Preheat oven to 325°F. Place cranberries in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle sugar, then orange juice concentrate over. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until juices form and cranberries are very soft, about 1 hour. Uncover; mix in liqueur. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, about 4 hours. Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Makes 2 cups.

Here ya go... CASSIS-SPIKED CRANBERRY SAUCE Surprise — a bit of ketchup helps the sweet and tart flavors blend. Make this up to three days ahead. 1 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons crème de cassis (black-currant-flavored liqueur) 1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries 1 cup dried cranberries 1 tablespoon ketchup Bring 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup crème de cassis to boil in heavy medium saucepan over high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add fresh cranberries; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until cranberries pop and sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in dried cranberries, ketchup, and 2 tablespoons crème de cassis. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 3 days. Makes about 3 cups.

can you make that retroactive?

Soulstation... you rock! We love you, baby... you're like our cute little good luck charm. Keep on doin' what you're doin'... kisses, rache.

Awesome name.... Congratulations! Pictures, please???

Guilty.... I browse/post/PM on my PDA phone. You should see B3-er's avatar

Yeah, I think I pick the migraine...

In this context, do you mean aura as in 'intangible quality'? or aura as in "a sensation that precedes an epileptic seizure or an attack of migraine"? Just wondering....

All who believe in telekinesis, please raise my hand...
