Gene Honda Does The Oscars!
Ok, i might need to correct this. I think it's actually famous movie trailer voiceover guy Dan Lafontaine. If it IS Dan Lafontaine, he's channeling Gene Honda. I demand a.... "number 14... Paul Konerko!" before the Oscars are over.

Gene Honda Does The Oscars!
Gene Honda is the P.A. announcer for the Oscars! I'm not sure if he has ever done that before. Right after the opening video I heard, "Please welcome your host... Ellen Degeneres".

HD TV Question
QUOTE(redandwhite @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 11:48 PM) Looking tonight, I picked out two TV's that I absolutely loved. Toshiba Sony Absolutely go with the Sony. It's bigger, has more HDMI inputs (this is key for the future), it has an HDTV tuner built in (th eother you need an external box), and it's a Sony. THey dont make cheap crap.

Sirius and XM to Merge!!!
I welcom a merger. I have been itching to get satalite for my car, however I am not sure I can get it past the "finance committee" (aka my wife). With two seperate networks, I'd have to choose between NLF/NBA or MLB. I didnt like that idea. Hopefully a merged company will offer one service, that woul dbe sweet! I need my White Sox and Bulls when i travel.

1/2 Hour News Hour
I tried to watch part of it last night... it was so bad.. I mean worse than SNL bad! And that's pretty bad! THe problem is, they are mocking a show that is already mocking the media. You can't mock the mocker, it makes you look stupid. Plus, why s a show like this on Fox News. I thought they were supposed to be a "legit" fair and balanced news station? Comedy Central can do it, they arent a news station!! QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 10:21 AM) Really, though, this just affirms John Stewart's rant on CNN's Crossfire a year or two ago -- Fox NEWS Channel is making a COMEDY program to compete with COMEDY CENTRAL'S fake news show. That is also another big differance about the two shows. The Fox News tries to mock the Daily Show, but the Daily Show isnt fake news!!! They saterize REAL news. THe segment I saw last night was with a fake guest.

Phone Call Etiquette
QUOTE(BMac Attack @ Jan 31, 2007 -> 04:37 PM) I think it also makes a difference if you're calling on a land-line phone (which is likely to wake other people in the house up) versus a cell phone. I really don't care when people call my cell phone, but if they wake everyone else in the house up, then that's grounds to be pissed. I can agree with that.

Phone Call Etiquette
This is part question, part needing to vent. Ok, so last night my wife went to bed around 9:30 and I stayed up and was watching TV. Around 10:30 PM, my sister-in-law calls to tell us she is pregnant. now keep in mind thi sisnt her first child. It's her second. Also, I have a very sick grandfather, so any calls late at night is a little scary. It could be "the call". Who the hell calls at 10:30 at night to tell you they are pregnant? Isnt that more of a 6-9 PM call? To me, 10:30 PM is reserved for emergancys like a death in the family. Thoughts?

Samardzija to forego football!
QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 02:23 PM) Jeff always had the reputation of not being the smartest guy alive, but $8 million guaranteed is $8 million guaranteed. Don't know what he'd get by being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, but my gut says more than $8 million. The problem is, the NFL money isnt guaranteed. MLB money is. If I were him and the Cubs were waiving $8 million at me, I'd take it. Heck, if I blew out my arm on my first pitch, I could not have to work a day the rest of my life ($8 million / 100,00 per year = 80 years @ $100,000 per year).

So, since the right exists, but doesn't say to who, it's really not a real law. Interesting logic....
