http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/36605.html Richardson gives me the creeps.

I can't believe Reche Caldwell's two drops.

Belichick has stones.

That was a smooth first score.

DA BEARS

Yeah, but I doubt it'll be too large. Maybe Marcus Giles-type money.

I thought that was pretty funny.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2007 -> 01:15 PM) Anyone think the price on Iguchi just went up? Sort of, but not that much. Utley is a lot better than Iguchi and a lot younger. No way Iguchi gets that many years, and I doubt he'll get that much money.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 08:04 PM) I used to do quite a bit of international travel, and rather than pay taxes on the items I brought back from other countries, I used to "keester" everything to get through customs. I became quite good at it. I could probably get a small foot-stool across the border this way in my prime. Now, no more than a water bottle. Wait, what're you saying exactly? That you could...keester...a small footstool...? Ow.

QUOTE(Chet Lemon @ Jan 21, 2007 -> 09:15 AM) Al Gore is not running There's the link! Thank you.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 21, 2007 -> 01:25 AM) So have you seen this chick yet or what?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jan 20, 2007 -> 09:09 PM) Lock Box! think Al Gore will run for president in 2008? It was on Reuters earlier this week that he said he wasn't running but I can't find any link to verify it. The link I did have was a video of him saying so, and now the link takes me, instead, to some video about Iraq news on Reuter's website. ::shrug:: Obama's going to be destroyed by the Republicans, if he wins the nomination (which I doubt he will), or he'll be destroyed by Hillary Clinton if he poses a genuine threat to her once the actual elections start. (That is to say, that if he survives, oh, the southern primaries with a serious chance to win, he's going to be leveled.) My thoughts: Hillary will run a brutal campaign if she faces a serious challenge come primary voting time. Think Richard Nixon on speed. Or she'll coast to the nomination when people realize that John Edwards and Barack Obama suck, and the media ignores the others. I expect her to win the nomination, but I think Richardson or Vilsack could be spoilers. I think, if their campaigns are run well, they could come away with it over her, but whoever wants to beat Clinton will have to be a good candidate, a strong governor, with a good record, fairly clean background, and skilled campaign team. I expect Obama to fizzle out when people realize that he's black, when the primaries head south, or when Hillary Clinton's campaign gets a good hold on certain things (drugs, and perhaps this new storyline that he has Muslim ties). Also: people will realize that he hasn't done much. John Kerry, knowing he has no chance, will attempt to be the conscience of the race. Whether he can do that competently is its own question. Edwards will be a pretty pander bear, and I doubt he does much of anything. Whatever he winds up placing as, I expect it to be by a distant margin.

I read yesterday in the Chicago Reader's News of the Weird section that zookeepers persuade male pandas to mate with “unattractive” female pandas by first removing the male panda from his pen, then bringing in a “pretty” female and letting her roam so as to leave her scent and urine. They then bring in the male, bring in the ugly female rear-end-first, and the male mounts. After, zoo keepers have to intervene with water hoses and firecrackers because the male attacks the "ugly" panda when he sees that "he tricked her." Presented it to my Animal Science class as my animal-related "Current Event." We all laughed pretty hard.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 10:47 PM) They don't call me "shoota" for nothing. Well that explains a lot.

Perhaps he was thinking of his long-term health and didn't want to die in his forties. Probably not, though. Good for him. Bad for the Cubs.

Go Borat!!!

I think the clock is ridiculous, not the possibility of destruction.

Ridiculous.

AJ said that he only wished he could've been elected by the fans to the 2007 ASG. I thought that was cool.

Sweet anecdote about Belichick, Red. I love the guy, and I'm glad to read something classy about him. You're no LT, but I'll still take your word for it. -- I'd be amazed if the Colts beat the Patriots. I think they're going all the way. The Patriots. Solid team, stingy defense, and a pick-apart coaching staff.

New Orleans has desperately needed something and the team has been a light of inspiration for a lot of people. The place is still a dump, but at the least, the city is not abandoned, and the city does stand tall in some area. There's nothing at all wrong with mentioning what the team has been for the city everytime the team is on the air. I don't mind the praise for the team and the recognition of what it's been for the city.

-- That's the second time this week I've made that joke.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 15, 2007 -> 06:26 PM) Ahh, no it wasn't Lynndie England's idea. The technique of humiliation was from higher up, complete with fun games like this to play. Well, yeah. I was kidding. Spoilsport.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 15, 2007 -> 05:17 PM) I like how the military is so anti-gay, yet somebody had the gayest idea in the history of gaydom by stripping all of the male terrorist prisoners, lay them in a pile on top of each other, and then take pictures of it. Must have been the idea of a homosexual It was Thumbs Up Woman's idea. And women shouldn't be allowed in either.
