There are several examples of great teams going down to defeat to a lesser team in the playoffs. The '83 49ers vs the Redskins, 2001 Yankees vs the D-Backs, '72 Lakers vs the Knicks....I could go on. The better team has lost many times in pro sports. I mean, the fact a medeocre Buffalo Bills team made it to all those Super Bowls speaks volumes on that point. Their AFC runners-up would have at least made those games competitive. The '72 Lakers set a record for wins and beat the Knicks in the NBA finals. Uh-huh. And the part you are leaving out is....? I'll wait.

Yer killin' me, Tony...yer killin' me. Pssh. Poetic justice.

At a recent concert in Glasgow, Scotland, the lead singer of the band U2, Bono, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds. While having everyone's complete attention, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies." After a few minutes of this a voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the quiet. "Well, foockin' stop doin it then, ya evil basturd!"

I was depressed last night so I called a suicide hotline. I was transferred to an out-sourced call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal... They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

Um. Isn't cleavage cheating?

Cowboyz are dead and gone. [say halleujah] Life for the NFL fan is good once again.

If I'm not mistaken that tune is being used for a commercial now.

I'll start:

Kids at my HS still dig Hendrix. They wear tie-dye t-shirts with his face on them. They listen to his music. They ask me what it was like back when he was alive. Hendrix is as timeless as he is great. Post your favorite Hendrix memories, concerts, song/albums and video here. I Hear My Train a Comin' Tim

What a sweetheart she is. You are awesome, Patricia

If not wanting to get cracked over the head with a broken bottle or stampeded to death while trying to escape soccer hooligans makes me a wimp, then you can place my name at the top of the list. Little by little though that's changing. Instead of routinely assailing one another with bottles & chairs, they've decided to channel their energy into getting it all out of their systems on New Years Eve. Fun! .... Next year try for 35 and dare the Belgians to match it!!! Twenty-two schools in the Netherlands were set fire to during New Year's Eve. Three schools were completely burnt out, insurance company Centraal Beheer Friday reported. The damage to the schools amounts to over 20 million euro, according to the insurer. The company feels schools should do more to prevent fires. Cameras and sprinkler systems could be installed, a spokesperson explained. Now there's some fun, huh?

Good luck and Godspeed, my friend. Lord knows you deserve it. Tim

And a happiest of happy's from me too, 7/4

To my favorite Jazz BBS poster in the whole wide world: Happy Birthday, Patricia!!!!

What I want to know is how do you get a job testing that product

I think you've nailed it perfectly, Ted. Agreed. Good post, Ted.

Man Cuts Off, Microwaves His Own Hand Um. Why....?

Taxes are done right after we get the W-2's from work.

Because GEE Dumbya needs a smoke screen for his failed Iraq War, housing/mortgage crisis and environmental gaffs. Bush is all about the cover not the reality. Gosh, didn't know Harry Waxman was on the Bush payroll as well! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/14/...in3618383.shtml Thanks for revealing the latest asinine statement. It really is nice to know that the Democratic majority in the House is doing the President's bidding. Bush vetos everything, Dan. You know that.

Gosh, didn't know Harry Waxman was on the Bush payroll as well! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/14/...in3618383.shtml I don't think one needs to be on the payroll to help the Bushites try to divert attention away from their failures and lies to the American people. They have done this time and again. It is comparable, I think, to Katherine Harris and the Florida election scam: Being a registered Demo does not keep someone from helping the Bushites.

Assuming, of course, they have lied.

They did a nice job because often its tough to make these edits "work" unless the person used a lot of "down" inflections. When you make a statement, you naturally speak with a down inflection - if there were "up" inflections, the edited sentences would sound off. But getting past the fun people have messing with his words, I saw on SI - or maybe it was ESPN, something no one else has seemed to notice - that when Wallace asked him whether he'd had contact before the Mitchell report, and he mentioned the email about fishing equipment. Roger said that he didn't say anything about "he was fixin' to bury me". Notice it wasn't "fixin' to lie about me to the Mitchell report". "Fixin' to bury me." Wouldn't we all agree that in common usage, "bury me" means "betray me" or something similar? So, if my football team is going to bury your football team....I'm planning to betray you? I think you're reading way too much into this, Dan.

A teacher at my has HS died and she was only 33. She had battled cancer for the last five years and it finally got the best of her on Sunday night. It was a horrible shock to all of us on staff and when we were given the news, the room fell completely silent. All of us knew she was sick, but we thought she was beating this thing because she was looking healthy and upbeat about Life. Today the shock has turned to depression and some of you may have seen some of that on a thread last night. I just needed to tell you all this because I am not very good at handling these types of feelings...especially when it hits so close to home. In short, I regret anything I wrote in the spur of the moment if it has caused BERIGAN any undo distress. It was a very tough day yesterday and I didn't handle it well. The loss of this excellent teacher is a tragedy to this campus and to this community....her students were my students as well and the reality is just beginning to sink in for all of us. I just needed you guys to know that. No responses are necessary and if you are inclined to pray, please do so for her family. Tim
