QUOTE(longshot7 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) Chris Curtin, general manager and vice president of the Muppets Holding Company, said the Disney-owned venture also is developing an "American Idol"-style "reality" TV series featuring Kermit and friends conducting a talent search "for the next Muppet." awesome. I have heard about that and can't wait for it - Pepe better be the smart-assed judge.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:33 PM) which drop down menus? The File Edit View Insert row?? Yeah, that one. I can only see it/get it when it is in full screen mode - it royally sucks and the IT had no idea what happened or how to get it back except for using the full screen mode which I abhor.

I have a bunch of the Muppet Show DVDs - Chicky in de Basket!!!!!

EXCEL users: If I lost my drop down menu, how do I get it back? I can usually manuver around and not have an issue, but I haven't a clue how I "minimized" it so I can't get it back and it is annoying having to do the alt click to see the menu options. Thanks!

I can't say I will miss them. Whenever Brian would flip to that station during a road trip I had to make sure I was buckled in so I couldn't fling myself out of the car.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Muppets from Space is a really funny movie. I watched it with my then-4 year old daughter, and I was astonished at the amount of jokes directed my way. Pepe made that movie well worth the rental money. His small part in Muppets in Treasure island was great too. I can't even count the times I have watched Muppets in Space. He has some hysterical lines in there as wel. I have to watch Muppets' Treasure Island again - I have the DVD, but haven't watched it all the way through yet.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) Illinois Highway system is bulls***. From my house to the border of Wisconsin, it takes me 5 f***ing tolls. Once I get into Wisconsin, not 1 all the way up into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It annoys me that I can travel downstate to see in-laws (to be) and not pay a dime (traveling close to 200 miles or more to get there) and yet, the 80-90 miles it takes to get to Lake Geneva costs me at least $3-4 with the i-pass.

My mom, aunt and myself were crying from laughing so hard at Pepe's version of Toto in the Muppets' Wizard of Oz.

The one Queen song that brings me to tears just about every time is "Who Wants To Live Forever."

I was pissy at first at the idea of Queen without Freddy. I then heard a cut from a show that Paul did with Brian and Roger. Oh man was it good. It took the first listen to get past that it wasn't Freddy and once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it which is why I decided that I want the CD and DVD. I love Queen - they are my all-time favorite band. I am only missing one CD - the Flash Gordon soundtrack - I think I have been putting off buying it because I want to keep thinking there is another Queen CD out there that I don't have (even though I wore out my cassette version of it lol). Just from interviews I have seen with Freddy and other things I have read, I really think Freddy would be tickled that here, 15 years or so after his death, his music is taking on a new form and living again. From what I have read, they are doing quite well with their overseas concerts.

I like Kermit, but my true love is :

I am headed there after work/the gym to get that and the new Queen release!

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) I'd like to know why Garland couldn't keep the Tigers down, that's all. That's one of my questions as well.

My mom mentioned this Saturday when we were at the game. She said something about water on the knee and that it wasn't the first time this season, but that is all I remember her mentioning on it.

I have a hard time believing there isn't one "qualified" female worthy of nomination.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) Variety is wrong when its done just for the sake of variety and no other reason. Sorry, but in the case of people making decisions on the law on the lang, it's not just variety for the sake of variety - it's making sure half this country's point of view (ie the female half) is taken into consideration when deciding on points of law - I know I am not wording it the way I mean it, but it is the best I can do at the moment. I am certain if it were all women up there you'd be clamoring for a man to be appointed.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) Why is everyone so worried about diversity as opposed to finding the best candidate? Being a woman, I'd like to see a qualified woman up there instead of all men. What's wrong with a little variety?

Weis uses play called by 10-year-old boy dying of inoperable brain tumor. Sorry if this was posted already - I didn't see it. Just thought it was something to share. By TOM COYNE, AP Sports Writer September 25, 2005 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Charlie Weis doesn't usually let anyone else call plays on offense. He made an exception for 10-year-old Montana Mazurkiewicz. The Notre Dame coach met last week with Montana, who had been told by doctors weeks earlier that there was nothing more they could do to stop the spread of his inoperable brain tumor. ``He was a big Notre Dame fan in general, but football especially,'' said his mother, Cathy Mazurkiewicz. Weis showed up at the Mazurkiewicz home in Mishawaka, just east of South Bend, and talked with Montana about his tumor and about Weis' 10-year-old daughter, Hannah, who has global development delay, a rare disorder similar to autism. He told Montana about some pranks he played on Joe Montana -- whom Montana was named after -- while they were roommates at Notre Dame. ``I gave him a chance to hammer me on the Michigan State loss, which he did very well. He reminded me of my son,'' said Weis, whose son, Charlie Jr., is 12 years old. Weis said the meeting was touching. ``He told me about his love for Notre Dame football and how he just wanted to make it through this game this week,'' Weis said. ``He just wanted to be able to live through this game because he knew he wasn't going to live very much longer.'' As Weis talked to the boy, Cathy Mazurkiewicz rubbed her son's shoulder trying to ease his pain. Weis said he could tell the boy was trying not to show he was in pain. His mother told Montana, who had just become paralyzed from the waist down a day earlier because of the tumor, to toss her a football Weis had given him. Montana tried to throw the football, put could barely lift it. So Weis climbed into the reclining chair with him and helped him complete the pass to his mother. Before leaving, Weis signed the football. ``He wrote, 'Live for today for tomorrow is always another day,''' Mazurkiewicz said. ``He told him: 'You can't worry about tomorrow. Just live today for everything it has and everything you can appreciate,'' she said. ``He said: 'If you're (in pain) today you might not necessarily be in pain tomorrow, or it might be worse. But there's always another day.'' Weis asked Montana if there was something he could do for him. He agreed to let Montana call the first play against Washington on Saturday. He called ``pass right.'' Montana never got to see the play. He died Friday at his home. Weis heard about the death and called Mazurkiewicz on Friday night to assure her he would still call Montana's play. ``He said, 'This game is for Montana, and the play still stands,''' she said. Weis said he told the team about the visit. He said it wasn't a ``Win one for the Gipper'' speech, because he doesn't believe in using individuals as inspiration. He just wanted the team to know people like Montana are out there. ``That they represent a lot of people that they don't even realize they're representing,'' Weis said. When the Irish started on their own 1-yard-line following a fumble recovery, Mazurkiewicz wasn't sure Notre Dame would be able to throw a pass. Weis was concerned about that, too. So was quarterback Brady Quinn. ``He said what are we going to do?'' Weis said. ``I said we have no choice. We're throwing it to the right.'' Weis called a play where most of the Irish went left, Quinn ran right and looked for tight end Anthony Fasano on the right. Mazurkiewicz watched with her family. ``I just closed my eyes. I thought, 'There's no way he's going to be able to make that pass. Not from where they're at. He's going to get sacked and Washington's going to get two points,''' she said. Fasano caught the pass and leapt over a defender for a 13-yard gain. ``It's almost like Montana was willing him to beat that defender and take it to the house,'' Weis said. Mazurkiewicz was happy. ``It was an amazing play. Montana would have been very pleased. I was very pleased,'' she said. ``I was just so overwhelmed. I couldn't watch much more.'' Weis called her again after the game, a 36-17 victory by the 13th-ranked Fighting Irish, and said he had a game ball signed by the team that he wanted to bring to the family on Sunday. ``He's a very neat man. Very compassionate,'' she said. ``I just thanked him for using that play, no matter the circumstances.'' ******************************************************************** for Montana.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) Oh no! Not an attendance thread! BANNED! All of you! You commie bastard!

I don't get people. How could a parent, much less any adult do something like that? I went to Catholic school K-12. We had sex ed from 8th grade on - it amazes me how many men and women are clueless about their own bodies. Within sex ed, we were taught about the relationship between sex and marriage/healthy relationship and how casual sex can harm a person physically and mentally. What I am trying to say is that they taught us more than the mechanics lol.

Hopefully it will be a qualified female.

If my FMIL still lived in Toledo, I probably would have tried for the Saturday game, but I have an orhto appointment and second fitting Saturday morning so I can't, but I really wanna lol.

Games I attended: 3-2 Games I had tickets for: 4-2
