  1. Was there on vacation a year and a half ago. I realize everyone has different tastes, but here are a list of my favorites...

     

     

    USS Midway Tour...very cool. When standing on the deck of the ship, it is amazing how big the ship is. It is a self guided tour(mp3 players) except for when you go up in the bridge where volunteers take you up 10-15 at a time.

     

    LaJolla...forget the ritzy shops and instead spend a half day wandering along the waterfront at LaJolla Cove. One of the favorite parts of my trip.

     

    San Diego Zoo...Outstanding, especially if you get to see the Pandas while they are active. Happened to be there within a year of when the baby panda was born. Worth the price of admission. Wear comfortable shoes and take the bus tour to see the outer parts of the zoo.

     

    Harbor cruise...take the one that goes both North and South of the city.

     

    Point Loma - Cabrillo National Monument. Fantastic views of the city, harbor and Pacific Ocean. Worth the drive. If you are going to see this, go on a clear day! There is also a military cemetary about halfway up the hill, that I wasn't even aware of. Truly moving to see all the white crosses.

     

    Aerospace Museum...very nice museum dedicated more to aircraft than outerspace. You can easily get caught up in all the exhibits and end up there for a half day or more.

     

    If I had to classify some of these as MUST SEE, they would be LaJolla Cove, Point Loma, USS Midway and the San Diego Zoo.

     

    We also went to Sea World and Disneyland, but if you don't have kids, I'd skip them in favor of some of the places I've listed.

     

    I don't have any recommendations for nightlife or fine dining as we had a 10 year old in tow. 0:)

  2. Wow, pretty dull show.  Not much to work with, but it’s a two-hour show on FOX, so there’s always something to take a shot at.

    Johnny...I won't quote your entire post, but once again, keep up the good work. I know there was somebody during last years show that did a similar critique. I don't know if it was you or not, but you guys are great.

  3. Bottom 3 Predictions: Ace, Bucky, & Lisa

     

    Eliminated: Lisa

     

    Bucky took a step back tonight, but should be able to hang around.

     

    Ace for the first time actually sounded good, so he stays.

     

    Lisa has been a big disappointment. From 24-12 she was very good, but these last 2 weeks she has done little to impress.

    I think if the judges go back and listen to Lisa and Ace, they will go back and change their opinions. They were both bordering on bad. I think you have the bottom 3 nailed.

  4. Can't wait to hear Brad at night's especially when some decent Bills news hits.....if that is ever going to actually happen.

    637176[/snapback]

    Don't get to used to Brad. Between the Sabres playoff games and Yankee games(I am assuming WGR is carrying the Yankees again :P ), Brad doesn't get a heck of a lot of air time between April and September.

  5. Personally, I wonder who will win the fist fight on the Cowboys sidelines.  Drew or Owens?

    635910[/snapback]

    All I can picture is this...

     

    After one of his classic "holding the ball too long" sacks while TO was wide open frantically waving his hands, he walks off the field, Parcells puts him in a headlock and starts punching him in the head while TO walks up behind him and gives him an atomic wedgie for all time. :lol:

  6. and for that one that bitches, there will probably be hundreds that enjoy it,  how is this different than anything else people can have an opinion about.

     

    People still B word that Lindy Ruff sucks as a coach and Darcy Regier sucks as a GM.  :lol:

    633864[/snapback]

    To each there own. Maybe this is great for the out-of-towners, but I don't know about your ratio of for every one person who hates WGR that there will be hundreds who enjoy it. B-)

  7. You can add disappointing to the list also  :lol:

     

    Never thought Simon would sell out after his really good show on Empire. Maybe he is being told how to air his show. The people running GR sure have destroyed sports radio in WNY...idiots

    633803[/snapback]

    Amen. I'm sure the out-of-towners are excited. I say give it until the end of next week when one of them will start a thread about how bad wgr and/or an individual host is.

  8. You make an interesting point, but now it is time for you to shut the hell up before you get cracked.

     

    To one again prove Coy Wire's generosity, I will donate $1000 to the Coy Wire foundation for every passing play that I get smoked on.

     

    At the Coy Wire foundation, when my opponents win, so do the kidz!!!!!

    633794[/snapback]

    Coy....you are going to be coughing up some serious jack in 2006. Might as well just sign over your entire salary for 2006(assuming you make the team) :lol:B-)

  9. I'm worried that Jackson would be this year's version of Bennie Anderson.  Cheap but ineffective.

    631106[/snapback]

    I don't think Grady will come cheap at all. This is probably his last chance to get a good contract and will try as hard as he can to maximize this contract. I would bet he is looking for at least 4 mil per year for a 3 year contract.

  10. Great line, man.  I hate him and his lucky beanie.  No-talent hack gettin' by with his looks. 

     

    Once again, Kevin Covais is the closest thing to punk rock this competition has ever seen.  No talent.  No moves. An absolute black eye on the show.  Our fight to bring down corporate rock and roll is in this anti-hero's mighty hands.  Simon gets it. He knows how dangerous Covais is.  That's why he came out swingin'.  But Covais went right back at him in true punk style.  The transformation of Kevin Covais into Kevin Co-viscious is almost complete. He is a heroin addiction and a dead girlfriend at the Chelsea Hotel away from immortality.  I raise my middle finger to him.

     

    Melissa, or as my wife calls her, "The Pig," is done.  How do you forget the words to a Stevie Wonder song?  Twice!?  Unlikable, and should be going home.  Soon to be another hit and run at a cheap Hollywood motel.

     

    Bucky.  Poor, poor, Bucky.  I'm almost pulling for him, because he's totally out of his element.  He's an underdog, an everyman, a car painter.  Unfortunately, the country vote is now split because of Pickler and the merger between the guys and gals.  Out of The Saucey Mynx and Bucky, who do you think the NASCAR crowd is going to vote to keep around?  Bucky is "The Pig's" only chance of not getting tossed into the alley with the trash.

     

    Elliot bombed, but he'll still be able to survive.  It's weird, but his family in the cheering section all had exceptional teeth.

     

    If Mandisa doesn't get to sing "It's Raining Men" at some point in this competition, I will feel cheated.  Anyone want to bet Seacrest is seeing a therapist after spending time down around her sweaty ankles?  You're a better man than me, Ryan (shudder).

     

    Pickler also bombed, but in true AI style, they have Seacrest do a freaking interview with her to rehabilitate her image with the voters.  The fix is in, people.

     

    My wife is convinced that Taylor Hicks is gay.  Just an FYI.  We're liberals.  We know what we're talking about. 

     

    Paris, Lisa Tucker and her hot mom, and Katherine McFunbags are all safe.

     

    Daughtry.  Wow.  To tell you the truth, this guy should quit the competition right now while his stock is so high...come out early and declare eligability for the draft.  Seriously, why does this guy need to be AI#5?  Look at what that Bice guy from last year is doing.  That song he did last week was atrocious.  Chris, get the hell out now.  You are way to good for this nonsense.  By good, I mean talent, of course.  I'm almost certain that I will hate the musical genre you will end up in.

    The Pig goes tonight.  Bucky goes if the NASCAR fans abandon him for the Saucey Minx.  They will toy with Co-visciuos all night, though.  Just pack all that hate away, little buddy.  Save that hate....

    Outstanding summary. Keep up the good work.

  11. Broncos | Team shopping two first-round picks

    Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:23:37 -0800

     

    Jeff Legwold, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports the Denver Broncos are shopping their two first-round picks in the 2006 NFL Draft in exchange for early picks in the 2007 NFL Draft. The team does not have much cap space left after paying out several up-front signing bonuses.

    Thanks for putting so much thought into your insightful thread title. :doh:
