Get back to work, Steff. Have a stroke on your own time!

Joe, your personal summary; Your Personality Type You are a serial killer who places a high value on pain and suffering. People notice that you are passionate about your dead mother and that they can count on you to be agressive when you dress in her skin. Your Motto "I am a dirty boy." How You Work best You function best when you are in a controlled environment where people have been drugged by you. Too much change and unpredictability can make you feel crazy. You are most productive and at your best when you know you are ridding the world of the vermin that populate it. Always listen to your dog. The FBI are on their way. Thank you for talking this test. - hmmm...sounds about right!

My 5-year old son, who is obsessed with cars, is going to go nuts tonight when he sees this... Then again...so am I. CARS

I live by the wise words of the great Gene Honda... "Please, respect the fans around you..." I respect you!

I know this is now old news...but I wanted to post Bill Maher's funny take on Scalia's comments

yeah...I know. I'm disappointed in myself, also.

yeah...there's a joke there that I think I will avoid. :rolly

Allright then...Jerry Reisnsdorf

Be sure to throw your breifcase onto the floor behind him so his head spins around...proving he doesn't have whiplash! Just like Mike Brady. Pure Brady...Pure Genius!

I went to 27 games in my plan. 1 Cub/Sox series, 5 games friends had tickets for...and one Marlins/Expos game.

I'm still trying to get to 1000... :rolly

It was 8 years between the first World Trade center bombing and 9/11...

I'll try harder...

Shaun of the Dead did very well at the Box Office. The weekend numbers don't tell the story. it made over 3 million in ONLY 607 Theatres in the US. The Forgotten was in 3100+ theatres. If you go by "per screen average" then in 3100 theatre Shaun of the dead would have made over 16 million this weekend. Not bad at all. www.boxofficemojo.com

Happy Belated Birthday Steff! I sent you Neal Cotts via UPS...but i could only afford regular delivery. So you should get him later this week. Ooops...I think I forgot to punch airholes in the box. Eh, it's not like you wanted to talk anyway.

My wife and I go here for our anniversary dinner every year with members of our wedding party that are still in the area.

The food, especially the Pizza and Risotto, is incredible...so authentic. I recommend it to EVERYONE! I could go on and on...but the Chicago Reader said it better Here is what the Reader had to say: The name refers to the stamp of approval given to Italian wine, cheese, and other food products of verifiably high quality. D'Ortenzi holds everything in his establishment up to the same exacting standards. He even brought star Roman chef Gualtiero Carosi along from La Bocca. Pizza crusts are rolled thin with a dowel then topped with different combinations of tomato, mozzarella, artichoke, porcini mushrooms, and even ham and eggs, and cooked in a wood-burning oven. For heartier appetites there are pasta dishes, gnocchi alla romano with fresh basil, and a few (meatless) risotto options, plus a couple specialties that deserve attention. One is coda alla vaccinara—oxtail baked with celery, carrots, onion, and tomato—the other, osso buco alla Milanese, is tender braised veal shanks with carrots and onion served with a buttery saffron risotto. The dining room is simple and attractive, with lacquered wood panels between salmon-colored walls, tasteful black-and-white photos of Roman ruins set off by oddly shaped halogen lights, and a few large feathery plants in the center. A table displays the vegetables for the antipasto misto—grilled eggplant, yellow and green zucchini, and roasted scallions—and baskets of rustic bread made on the premises. This place holds promise, and blows away the majority of Italian-American places that call themselves authentic. Pizza D.O.C., 2251 W. Lawrence, 773-784-8777 BTW, if you want to know exactly what D.O.C. means... Vino a Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) is the Italian answer to the French AOC. DOC wines are produced in specific well-defined regions, according to specific rules designed to preserve the traditional wine-making practices of the individual regions. Thus, the rules for making Barolo differ markedly from those for making Chianti Classico. The winery can state the vineayrd that the grapes came from, but cannot name the wine after a grape type (doing so would cause confusion, because there are some DOCs named after grape types, for example Brunello di Montalcino), and cannot use a name such as "Superior." Since a wine has to meet certain standards to qualify as DOC, the quality of Italian wines as a whole has improved since the first DOCs were established in the 1960s, though in some cases the rules drawn up by the commissions had unexpected effects -- Super Tuscans (VdT) arose from the requirement (since dropped) that producers put white grapes in their Chianti Classico.

This is the line that worries me!! Well, there's your reason for not going after a pitcher in the off-season. Positive Spin: Unless, it means Garland is trade bait and they will go after a Number 1 or 2, pushing everyone down a spot and Grilli becomes #5
