  1. What's the over/under on the number of times this gets posted today....?
  2. I know you already solved your problem Fez, but the first place I look for such things is eBay.
  3. Isn't that what Passthepotatoes said in his chat 3 weeks ago?
  4. Not on my watch.
  5. I was just thinking of Some Like it Hot as I was catching up on the thread. Fun movie.
  6. Add Singin' In the Rain to that list. I've just managed to grow tired of watching it since the kids like it...
  7. They just released the boxed set of that.... Anyway, I'd recommend "The Man In the White Suit." Obi-Wan Kenobi does comedy.
  8. What, you can't even call someone a putz any more?
  9. Dead 83 year-old grannies with no computer?
  10. You've obviously never seen how a hedgehog can curl up in a ball, have you...? BTW, Happy Freakin' Birthday....
  11. That's "Benny Goodman would have been great to see. So would [no of] John Coltrane..."
  12. Is that you ExiledInIllinois? I thought you were on vacation...
  13. And knowledgeable is spelled with a "g" (Pete did it in two separate posts!) He's going to regret offering "English lessons" with the Grammar Patrol on duty...
  14. Yeah, the NFL has already told him that he couldn't sing that "song that promotes pedophilia..." My wife said "This show was better than trying to cram 8 artists in 10 minutes" (someone else mentioned it in this thread as well, and I said "Well, they were still trying to cram 40 years of music history in 10 minutes."
  15. We owned the NFC during the regular season. It was the post-season that got us.
  16. We spent a week there almost 6 years ago...some of the things we did: ---We spent most of our time at a "bed and breakfast" style place. Studio apartment. It was nice because we didn't have to deal with the usual hotel crap (except for the last few days...they didn't have the place available for the full week). http://www.orangedogmanor.com/ Within walking distance of Golden Gate Park and Haight-Ashbury. ---We used the public transport (bus) most of the week. Worked out all right for us, once we figured out the bus lines. ---We rented a car for one day. It was the day we had to move to the hotel, and we used that day to go up North. Went to Muir Woods, hiked around, it was nice. We went from there to check out the Point Reyes lighthouse, but we had spent too much time at Muir Woods and the lighthouse was closing when we got there.... ---We took the "Blue and Gold" Fleet (the ones that run the ferry to Alcatraz) tour of Napa. It was nice. Went to a vineyard (Viansa...nice wine and food!), an alembic brandy distillery (for a sniffing), and a "sparkling wine" vineyard. ---The Exploratorium is a cool inside thing to do, if you're into that type of thing. ---We actually used a guide, and had much better luck with restaurants that were recommended by the guide than when we "winged it." In particular, there was a narrow street that had a couple of bistros where they had tables out in the street, I believe it was in the Market District. Good food! ---Then of course there's the standard stuff you mentioned. Pay the extra for the audio tour of Alcatraz. It's worth it, IMO.
  17. I love the "spokesperson" for the manufacturer, "surprised" that the NFL players use them that way, as they are to be used "sparingly." Well, if teams are using them "sparingly," why are they ordering them by the thousands?
  18. If they are going to use a cap system they should make it based on the NFL model, which guarantees the players a certain percentage of revenue. But of course that works for the NFL because a large share of NFL team money is either from league-wide broadcast revenue or via sharing....Without the big national network $$$ they have to rely on the owners to profit-share...
  19. Well, I guess if there's any good to cowbells it brings old friends out of hiding...
  20. Congrats, Gramps!
  21. McAuley was on the crew (he threw the Pass Interference flag....). Coleman was the ref. McAuley was the ref for that fames Cleveland/Jax game (replay after the play...). He learned from the master... Coleman has his own page on this web site.... http://www.provencehome.org/refsuck/
  22. AKA Walt Coleman, who is also responsible for calling the "tuck" against Oakland.
  23. Drink it warm...
  24. more like "...and twins, eh?"
