QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 12:25 PM) If you can look at goldmember's sig and not find Sasha at least somewhat hot, then wow. I'm not a fan of uber skinny girls to be honest, but Cohen is more petite than anything. Also, she looks about 100 times better with her hair down than the very strict style she wears it in for skating. In my opinion, she's a far less hot version of Natalie Portman and Kiera Knightly. Like Cheat said, she's cute, but not much more. . .

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) My prediction is that in the end you will have Paris and Taylor standing there. I am hoping Paris wins, as she will be just what they want. Hopefully Taylor won't win so that he can sign his own contract and put out the amazing album his voice is capable of putting out. He is by far the best thing I have ever seen on that show. The guys voice is outstanding, and he sings with pure heart. If you look at his list of influences, and people has worked with, the guy is 100% real to what he portrays himself as to being, even more so than Bo was last year. I was thinking that earlier too. I love Taylor, but I'm not sure I want to hear him on top 40 radio stations. But I'd like him to make it far enough that it will be easy to find the album he will put out.

So who's gonna get the Wheaties box? My money's on the half-pipe snowboarder gold winners.

To be honest, for me it falls under the common sense bracket. Part of it is probably that I'm so close in age to the students--but really unless it's an honest to goodness emergency I would never think of calling any of my professors at home. I've had students find my number to call and tell me they got in a car accident or some other big thing. And that's fine. I will gladly talk to you then and make arrangements. But I would never call my boss at home to ask a if I should still come in at the usual time the next day. That's really all that bothers me, if you're going to call me on my time at least make sure it's for a good reason.

Yeah, back at St. Olaf (hahaha) we did that. And I would call professors if there was an emergency that they needed to know about. But only if they gave out their number. And I would never call them at home for a simple question that could be answered in an e-mail. I give out two e-mail addresses, my office number and my lab number. It was just a shock that someone would go to so much trouble to ask me a question that can be found on the requirements section of the webpage.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) Deservedly so... She wasn't very good. Really I was satisfied with all 4 people that got voted off. Me too. I thought the worst ones went (although it will be easier to get rid of the guys, I think there are less talented guys than girls this year--although the talented guys are AWESOME--there's just less of them).

She gone!

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 10:44 PM) I've had a decent amount of professors put their home phone numbers on the syllabus. If they're stupid enough to do that, by all means, call them. But if they didn't give you their home phone you need to either call their office or send them an e-mail.

Here's a tip for you college students: Don't call your professors or TAs on their cell or at home. Just because you can find our numbers doesn't mean you should use them.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 05:59 PM) She'll take it I'm sure. After she fell twice, she didn't even look like a good bet to medal. The russian is known for her consistency, though, that's why I was surprised.

And in a shocker, Cohen keeps the Silver, Japanese 1st, and the biggest shock of the night, Slutskaya takes teh bronze.

I'll gladly eat my crow, Cohen now at least getting bronze.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) Unless Kimmie passes her, Cohen will take 3rd. That's true, I'm glad there'll be an American on the podium.

Cohen holds onto second place as teammate Meisner takes the ice

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 05:34 PM) Choke in the clutch? Japanese firmly into first with three skaters remaining. Yeah, I was going to make a Cubs joke, but refrained. I don't think Sasha is going to medal. Well, here's hoping Kimmie delivers. . .

And, damn, that girl can sing!

Oh Sasha. . . :headshake :headshake :headshake

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 04:32 PM) Did Kelly Pickler make it? I watched AI once, and thought the girl was beautiful. Why, golly gee she sure did!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) Taylor, that's it... I love his voice. It just has the blues feeling to it, and I love that kind of music. Melissa is the other girl I couldn't think of, I think she preformed right before Katherine on Tuesday nite. Her voice was interesting, I thought it was a nice contrast to the other girls. A lot more sultry (is that the right word). But my friend and I just love Taylor, I think he's the sleeper contestent this year.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) I am forced to watch it religiously. Its either that or listen to grief when my shows (aka the White Sox) are on Who is your favorites so far? Out of the girls, Paris, Mandesa and the brunette who modeled are the best, along with Ace and Travis (the grey haired dude) of the guys. I like Paris and that girl that sang last (Katherine, I think). Of them I think Katherine is my fave. Taylor (the grey haired guy) is totally my favorite. He's the only person on tv that is as socially awkward as most of the people I hang out with. Ace, well, um, he's very nice to look at. He can sing well, but he's much more fun to look at, his brother was also equally hot.

And she can't sing very well.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) Yes, but hopefully now it's stuck in everybody's head all day. . . BWAAHAHAHA!!! I don't think I've ever heard that song before. Bwahahahahaha!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 12:29 PM) i dunno, I think Valentino makes Steiner rather small. The only small on those guys are their nuts after all those roids. . .

I really hope the Finns medal. I think that even I would watch a gold medal game between them and Sweden.
