I was thinking that David Caruso, the over acting iconic star of CSI:Miami is very similar to William Shatner, the over acting iconic star of Star Trek. Agree? Or it could be the Tylenol Cold formula and Ricola cough drops combined with tenormin and a stuffy head.

Horatio Caine = Capt. Kirk

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 27, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) But see, they HAVE done serious holidays, like MLK day and Veterans day. So are you suggesting that they don't do serious and just stay funny? They do it to increase business. If there was one or two holidays that should be above commercial exploitation, isn't Memorial Day one of them? Or have we gotten to the point we believe every holiday should be used to promote a business?

Be proud guys! If that's what y'all think is good public entertainment. Sorry for insulting your entertainment choices. I can't wait for y'all to give those to your kids for Christmas. Ha Ha Ha. Hey Mom, isn't that one of those dolls that perverts f*** when they can't get dates? Yes son, and Sox fans embrace those as funny and make fun of people who disagree. We'll stop at the store and buy you one for the next game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 27, 2008 -> 07:53 AM) I find Google's reasoning perfectly acceptable unless you're saying that Memorial Day should be in the same category as the 50th anniversary of Sputnik, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday, and Halloween? The only other day that deserves that same treatment is MLK day. And that does lead to a question, is a company more or less patriotic for having a Memorial Day Sale-A-Bration!!

The guy on the Wizard seems the most understanding of being a greenhorn. I wonder if they show the full crews. There has to be a relief Captain, cook, etc. I think for simplicity, they cut back on who is shown.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ May 27, 2008 -> 07:36 AM) Grab yourself some hot italian sausages, some boneless chicken parts (pretty much 1 sausage to 1 chicken brest ratio type of thing), pepper (green, red, orange, yellow...whatever), an onion, some garlic, a bunch of red potatoes (cut 'em up), throw all of that into a tin foil bag, throw that into the oven at about 400 degrees for almost an hour (check it though as it might cook faster than you expect). All of the flavors blend together and it's an amazing meal that reheats very nicely. That is one of the meals we teach Scouts to cook over a coals. Foil Packs. As long as they are sealed well enough to not leak, everything steams very nicely.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2008 -> 07:20 AM) best cartoons Nice idea also, would Family Guy be next to Bugs Bunny and Scooby Do? I was thinking the Simpsons and Family Guy in against M*A*S*H, Seinfeld and the like.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2008 -> 07:07 AM) Today we raise our Miller High Life's to that special senior citizen Woah, Woah, Woah, Mr. Moneybags, those folks on fixed incomes in Florida are tipping back a Natty Light in special observance of Mr. Fla's birthday! I hacked into Jim's calendar and learned the special day includes 4:30 - 6:15 Early bird dinner at Denny's 6:15 - 6:20 Argue with dinner mates on how to split check (who had the lemonade? It's more than ice tea!) 6:25 - 7:00 Walk around the Mall in his new Crocs 7:00 - 7:30 Birthday cake followed by a little blue pill 7:55 - 7:58 Special celebration with wife 8:00 - ZZzzzzzzzz as always Happy Birthday!

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 26, 2008 -> 08:22 PM) So because they tend to be lighthearted, they can't be serious this one time? They finally did one for Veteran's Day, I don't recall that one being cartoonish. Is the Yahoo one cartoonish and/or disrespectful? With all the changing they do, how could they not do this one. "Don't be evil" is their motto. How about "Don't be stupid."? Or "Don't be short-sighted"? I am not 'deeply offended', no 'manufactured outrage' or going to start a boycot, I just find this sad. I guess they could have. In the wake of Memorial Day being mostly about grilling hotdogs and big sales at Macy's, I'm thinking not using it to increase business is more respectful. It would seem that you wanted them to make a special banner that drives traffic to the site, that just feels wrong to me.

Wow Alpha, we came to almost exact opposite conclusions when looking at our search pages. I thought, wow, Google has enough respect to not turn it into a cartoon, which is how I remember all of their other special logos.

I'll be burning some flags later.

Is it safe to say that the Bears have an amazing tradition an Middle Linebacker? It's interesting that the Bears seem to be so heavily represented.

Another classy image for Sox fans to be proud of . . .

There are precious few games on "real tv" and usually we suck during them. This was great.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 25, 2008 -> 08:47 PM) Damn tasty and if you are eating for yourself just make a little extra and have it two nights. Damn delicous and I don't know how Salmon prices are around you, but over here its usually on sale for pretty cheap (and is such a tasty/easy fish to cook). Takes about 30 minutes of overall work (including cooking time). Salmon is also excellent the next day cold on a salad. I also like to make a fresh herb rub and press that onto the fish before cooking on the grill. Usually cilantro, lemon zest, sea salt, perhaps some dill or rosemary.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 25, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) sig. duh. I guess as the greenhorn, we'd all be biting the head off a herring for good luck . . .

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 25, 2008 -> 09:29 PM) Tex, in the last 2 months, I have had to cal AT&T, SBC, Wells Fargo and Adobe several times. 3 different times, i have talked to someone named 'Mitch' who is no more a 'Mitch' than I am a 'Mary'. I don't care that they are told to adopt an American name, and you can say that they can 'speak' English. I cna't understand a damn word they say, or at least only every third one. I have gotten to the point that I refuse to talk with them, and ask for a manager. And when I get a manager that I can't understand (yes, SBC, I am talking about you!) I just go ballistic. As for what is better, the one that keeps dollars here in the states is better. I would never use any of those 4 I listed above again if I had a choice, but I don't. Well, the Wells Fargo I DO have a choice, and I am researcghing switching that one right now, but may take a bit. Same problem with Time Warner. I'm having an intermittent problem with my Internet and phone. 1-800-222-5355 1 1 956 XXX-XXXX Hello I am "fake name" how can I help you? Your service sucks "I am sorry you are having this problem? For security reasons, may I have your phone number, address, and last four digits of your social security. I've been calling you people every day for the past month. I am so f***ing sick of repeating my address, phone number, and social for security reasons. I just transfer $3,000 between my bank account and my mutual fund and all they required for security was a four digit pin. I understand sir, thank you. Now may I have your phone number? I have caller ID, why the hell can't y'all afford caller ID? Give them number to home Is there an alternative number? That is my alternative because your service sucks. I never give out the number because during the day, it never works. I understand you are having a problem with your telephone service. I can help you. Arggggh

If you love the outdoors, it's hard to beat Utah.

I have this nasty chest cold and coughing my lungs out. I was walking back and forth and kind of half watching an episode. How sad is that I look up, see a deck shot of a crab pot and think, that's the Time Bandit?

This is one of those instances where each step seems logical and fair but brings us to a result that seems really unfair. And it would be unfair to whomever was fired. Since the requirement has not been challenged in court, it appears that it is a valid requirement. To me it all goes back to the job. In a community where 99% of the people speak English only, a residential fire fighter, EMT, Police officer, etc, better speak English. That isn't discrimination, it is a logical requirement for the job. Likewise here, a store clerk who does not speak Spanish hurts that business. So we see many ads that state applicants must speak Spanish, or bilingual preferred. Thanks for the debate.
