Queen Prawn

Happy bday!

They use him in one of the "pump up the crowd" video things at Carolina Hurricanes games. I choked on my popcorn when I saw it for the first time lol.

Happy bday!

I am so excited - I ordered two tickets today during the pre-sale for Queen+Paul Rodgers that are playing the Allstate Arena 3/23 at 8PM. I never thought I was going to be able to say I am going to a Queen concert, but I am! I know, I know - it isn't really Queen, but damn, it is as close as I am going to get to being able to say I am seeing Queen in concert!

Glad that you are ok! 111th was a damned ice rink today - two wrecks, a bunck of spin outs and people like me that had to use the emergency brake to not hit the car in front of my that jumped the curb to avoid hitting the car that was sideways from a spin out.

The original "Gone in 60 Seconds" from the 1970s.

Happy bday!

I was bummed when I heard about this today. . .because I couldn't join in the revelry here! The CFO sent me an email with just a subject line: "Sox sign Paulie." Apparently he was on the phone with the company president and started laughing and asked the boss if he could hear me screaming, to which the boss said no, why and told him (he lives in Los Angeles). Inspite of living in LA, the company prez hates the Angels so he was happy Paulie stayed with the Sox. After finishing up with the customer the CFO strolled over and we had a conversation about the signing and potential next moves for the Sox. I then call my mom and then my best friend to let them know.

A chance to play Santa Claus for some kids whose family I am close to that I think might need it this year. We'll see, I might just get that present yet.

Congrats!!!

My condolences go out to you and your family.

Happy bday!

Hope everyone had a great time on Thanksgiving!

I just got back from Raleigh (saw two Canes games - they lost both games, but with Brind'Amour, Wesley and Vasicek out they at least made the second game close until the empty netter with about 5 seconds left in the game). There are just too many penalties getting called. Oh, and someone needs to knock Chara on his ass a few dozen times. That is all lol.

Sleepy died on Thanksgiving so we went out to get a new hammy yesterday. I explicitly did not want a hamster from the pet store around the corner, but we went in to get the cage as it was on sale. While in there we were visiting with the tub of hamsters they had up front. I was playing with one of them when I noticed mite bites on a couple others so I put him back. While looking at them and watching them watch me, I noticed something in the corner. I thought it was a dead hamster. When got the attention of an employee, Brain watched them remove "it." Turns out it wasn't a complete hamster. . .just the torso. :puke I was disgusted and furious. I will NEVER buy a hamster from that particular pet store again. Oh, I ended up buying a black bear hamster, Peanut, from 104th and Kedzie.

If just driving somewhere, gloves. If I am going to be outdoors for a length of time, gloves and mittens.

RIP Mr Morita.

Even if I wasn't fighting the tail end of the flu, no way I would be in those crowds. I am not looking forward to Christmas shopping this year in the least. I am, however, already baking and trying a few recipes for the Christmas Eve meal I will be making as well as getting the decorating in gear. Oh joy, just found out Brain does have to work tonight (11PM start).

Happy Thanksgiving All! I cannot wait for dinner (we just got home from Midway - a 2 hr delay in Raleigh) as all I have had is a bag of pretzels and a bunch of vitamin C drops (wonder f***ing flu I have).

Best of luck getting a new job. My cousin works at Wells Fargo doing mortgages (in Des Plaines somewhere) - I know when he started there he mentioned they were doing some serious hiring, but that was just shy of a year ago.

I heard that on 97.9 right after they won. Between this and hearing "that Journey" song about a week ago, I got some serious chills just thinking about that playoff run and the night they won it all!

Kevyn Adams had a hat trick today.

Brian wants that green dog. I thought the pooch was a cutie.
