QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 11, 2007 -> 11:50 PM) Yeah, it wouldn't kill me if they axed the rivalry either. ISU-Minnesota would be a series I would love to see. These two used to play each other fairly regularly. I suppose money gets in the way now, damnit.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2007 -> 04:19 PM) Who is excited for the Toilet Bowl. Michigan vs ND Great Pat Forde bit on the ND situation. I was discussing this with some friends earlier today. Now it's just how the media will play it, I think.

Yes, the DC train system (the metro) is really good. The buses in DC? Ye gods, an abomination. But I assume that's true of buses in most places.

Happy Birthday!

I'm going to have to guess that the ferris wheel is in Paris, by the Champs-Elysees.

The amazing thing to me is that not only is he probably going to fade Jack (a great golfer in his own right) by 2011, he's on pace to easily fade Sam Snead with 88 Tour wins. That's a record I didn't foresee being broken, but Tiger's goal is to win every event, regardless if it's a major or not. When all is said and done, he'll be regarded as the all time best by most people, if not everyone.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 10, 2007 -> 11:33 AM) Well, yeah, sure, but the real question is, How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?? The world may never know.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. Thank you, Robert Frost.

Tex, you're one of the few who has me beat! Happy Birthday!

Padres and Angels.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Sep 2, 2007 -> 04:11 PM) this is still the MSM top news story. we get it, a GOP Senator is gay. Yeah, it might be time to report a little real news.

Also regarding your last last post... Frederick the Great said "He who defends everything defends nothing". Someone ought to clue those guys in on the fates of the Maginot and Siegfried Lines, don't you think?

It's cold, naked greed, but it could be worse. I remember a station that charged about 45-50 percent more than the place right across the street, but got away with it because the price on the pump was listed in $ per liter. Since nobody knew how to convert liters to gallons, they paid the price (literally).

Have a good one!

My one fervent birthday wish for you is that you may meet the woman in your av. Failing that, my birthday wish for you is that I may meet the woman in your av. Happy B-day, Rock!

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 06:57 PM) Actually, I am thinking about selling some carbon credits. I live close to work and ride my bike there. Sooooo, I figure I can sell the amount of carbon I would have created if I lived 40 miles from work and drove. I should send Mr.Edwards an email telling him I can sell him some Mr_g carbon credits. Then we can both go on Good Morning America and brag about how great we are, even though we haven't really accomplished anything. Well, you might be able to buy a nicer bike.

So who are the other two?

Also from Slate, Mickey Kaus riffs on the issue.

Courtesy of Slate, here's a primer on bathroom behavior. Some graphic elements, but no pictures.

They arrested 41 guys, and all of them probably just took their punishment and were grateful it wasn't any worse. Unfortunately for Craig, someone at the courthouse that day recognized his name, looked into it, and tipped off Roll Call. Were the airport cops a little overzealous? Perhaps, but I figure that they had received many complaints about things going on in that particular restroom, and they decided to do something about it. I have a feeling that any such behavior won't be happening there anymore

Alpha, I know you're only trying to stir the manure, but do you think that any of us on this board gives a rat's ass what Castro thinks about US political races?

Jeebus. Only in Wisconsin.

Here's a funny bit from a discussion on Slate.
