I can't even begin to imagine a childhood dream such as performing at the Grammy's, much less winning one, coming true. I probably would have cried like a baby also.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) The cool thing about women in the South is they LOVE football. Super Bowl Sunday includes women. Hell, every Saturday from late August to January, includes women. Ehem... us Northern Chicks did football, too. Not so much college for me.. but I LOVE the NFL. Froze my ass off at a few Bears games this year.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) I for one love Mariah and grew up on her music so I'm in love with that too. Her voice is stunning though her performance last night she started off bad. And most definately would I still do her. As far as other people that like her, everyone I know likes Mariah. Her voice is just spectacular. I can't believe Kelly Clarkson upset her though twice. That's some bs and I'm a Clarkson fan. F*** AMERICAN IDOL! I absolutely LOVE her voice as well. It's just her love handles that ick me out.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) i thought Late registration was a very good follow up to college dropout...for one i loved what jon brion did and i thought there was some filler songs, but i mean i think rap really isn't made for albums...and i thought it was a pretty good rap album as far as that goes. I can't believe U2 keeps getting nominated for such bogus albums. The grammys are such a joke its almost an insult to say you won a grammy. I loved when the simpsons made fun of it at pretty much every episode Gorillaz is made of : Damon Albarn, Deltron 330?, and...like 28 other people. DJ Danger Mouse produced it. Like most of his produced albums: like 5 gems...6-7 borderling awful songs. I didn't hear all of the first one so I didn't have anything to compare it to. I should get that one? I'm not much of a U2 fan. They are OK, but I don't go out of my way to listen to them. Thanks on the Gorillaz info. The sheltered life I lead, I never heard of them before last night.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) So you hate people that hurt animals more than you hate people that hurt children? My bad.. and thanks for calling me on it. I should have said I hate assholes who hurt animals as much as I hate assholes who hurt children.

Stand-up gig could cost West Orange cop his job Thursday, February 09, 2006 BY JONATHAN CASIANO Star-Ledger Staff Around West Orange, John Feder is known as a no-nonsense police sergeant, a 22-year veteran with an $88,000 salary and a plum assignment in the department's internal affairs division. But on the local comedy circuit, the towering cop goes by another name -- "Club Soda Kenny," a crass stand-up comic whose routine pokes fun at such taboo topics as rape, pedophilia and bestiality. The act has landed Club Soda Kenny on the popular "Opie & Anthony" radio program and gotten him gigs at top New York comedy clubs. For years, Sgt. Feder and Club Soda Kenny have co-existed peacefully. But this week, the two personas collided when several West Orange officials were anonymously mailed a CD of Feder's act, an eight-minute, profanity-laced tirade performed at a December comedy show in Manhattan and later posted online. Feder does not wear his uniform or identify himself as a police officer in the act. The routine, in which Club Soda Kenny jokes about raping a bride at knifepoint and molesting his own 5-year-old son, has, at least temporarily, cost Feder his gun, badge and paycheck. He was suspended without pay Monday pending an investigation into his act, West Orange officials said. Though no administrative charges have been filed, the 48-year-old Feder could be charged with conduct unbecoming of an officer, an administrative offense that could strip Feder of his job and possibly even his pension, officials said. Township officials would not comment on the investigation because it is an internal personnel matter. However, they said that if Feder was paid for his performance, it would be a violation of the department's policy that prohibits officers from moonlighting without departmental approval. "Without question, he has no authorization under policy to do this as employment," Police Chief James Abbott said. "We would never allow anybody to make racial jokes or anything like that." When visited at his home in Springfield yesterday, Feder declined to comment. The suspension places West Orange squarely inside a legal gray area, pitting First Amendment advocates against defenders of decency. Mayor John McKeon said the town has "zero tolerance for any law enforcement officer or other township employee that isn't racially sensitive or isn't sensitive to victims of criminal activity." But Frank Askin, director of the Constitutional Litigation Clinic at Rutgers Law School in Newark, said the U.S. Constitution should protect Feder from repercussions at work, no matter how outlandish his routine. "If he's off-duty, the First Amendment protects him and they can't punish him by taking his job away for exercising his right to free speech," Askin said. The courts have upheld that view in the past. In 1985, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Baltimore Police Department could not punish an officer for performing a blackface routine while off-duty, even though the performance sparked outrage and demonstrations throughout the city. However, Alana Goebel, assistant director of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault, said police departments should not tolerate officers who joke about rape, regardless of their right to speak freely. "The coalition thinks it was absolutely an appropriate decision by this officer's superiors," Goebel said. "Rape isn't a joke." Local comics and booking agents said Feder entered the comedy world almost 20 years ago when he befriended up-and-coming shock comic Andrew "Dice" Clay at Rascal's Comedy Club, which has since moved from West Orange to Montclair. Clay offered Feder a job on his security team and would often incorporate him into his act. When Clay hit his peak in the late 1980s, Feder took a leave of absence from the police department to tour with him, said Tony Camacho, a New York agent who used to book Clay for Rascal's. "That's where he got the name Club Soda Kenny, from Dice saying, 'Get me a club soda, Kenny,'" Camacho said. "He was like a sounding board for Dice while he was on stage." When Clay stopped touring, Feder returned to the police force, but his stage name still carried weight on the comedy circuit. "He has a certain reputation as a funny, tough-guy character -- you know, the whole Dice entourage kind of thing," said Ed Cavanagh, the entertainment director at Rascal's. That reputation has landed Club Soda Kenny regular features on "Opie and Anthony," a program on XM satellite radio known for its low-ball humor and adolescent pranks. He's also appeared in the hidden-camera DVD "Meet the Creeps." The CD sent to West Orange officials was from a Dec. 8 performance at the Laugh Factory comedy club in Times Square. For eight minutes, Club Soda Kenny rants about everything from pistol-whipping his wife to having sex with his dog. The segment later was posted online with a picture of Feder and a brief description of his act. Both have since been taken off www.cringehumor.net, though the site still offers an "Opie and Anthony" segment featuring audio and photos of Feder. Bob Levy, a South Jersey comic who performed with Feder about a year ago at Caroline's Comedy Club in Manhattan, said Club Soda Kenny is more of a cult character than an aspiring comic. He admitted Feder's act was "pushing it a little," but said comedy routines do not always reflect a person's true feelings. "If it doesn't affect your day job, what does it mean? It doesn't mean anything. It's like telling someone who's a cop you can't go out and sing karaoke."

But don't fret.. I found a little something for you guys to note in this year's V-Day cards... A holiday right up your alley... Steak & BJ Day. http://www.derbygripe.co.uk/oddsocks/holiday.htm

I do feel sorry for you guys this time of the year.. A guy in the office said this via email to one of my guy friends and knowing I would get a kick out of it, passed it along.. "Valentine’s Day is a women’s Super Bowl payback . We spend our “holiday” watching football and having fun that doesn’t include them. Then a few weeks later, just when you think they forgot about it, women say “bulls***”. Valentine’s Day is just a reminder that you had fun one day that didn’t include her now you must pay by kissing her ass... bla, bla, bla..."

I write on the board a lot for teaching, and cursive is faster for me to write when taking notes and stuff. So, I'm glad I learned it. Plus, I think it's harder to forge than print writing. . . Ditto.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:53 PM) Of course, I meant that as a joke. But, I read my own electric meter for years. There was a spot on the bill to write your meter reading. They'd check it once a year or so to make sure you in the ballpark you should be, but there were times where I would fudge a little when I knew the next bill would be a little too steep. Of course, I always had to make up the difference in subsequent months. Well.. when you live as far out there as you do they can only get someone in your neighborhood once a year.
