Why was Morocco on the scoreboard as "MAR"?

Uno, dos, tres... catorce!

Grams per liter? What kinda screwed up measure is that? One is weight - the other is volume. How many grams should a liter of blood weigh?

Reminds me of another one: This somewhat plump lady is checking out at the grocery store. The clerk rings up a couple cans of soup, a few TV dinners, a quart of milk, and a pint sized ice cream. Then he asks her: "Are you single?" She responds: "Yes, are you guessing because of the items I'm purchasing?" He answers: "No, I'm guessing because you're damn ugly"

The Sunshine girl's have really taken a turn for the worse. What a skank

3 goals in 7:49 - that equals a 23.03 GAA and a 0.25 SavePCT for Emery in OT.

Correct. I know I've heard Locke call him Hugo several times. Did anyone notice the line Michael’s interrogator used that went something like “for someone who is so eager to get his son back, you sure don’t know a lot about him”? That was almost the exact line that’s Michael’s wife’s lawyer used in the custody hearing last season. Then, the other thing I noticed was when The Others brought the captive Kate over to Zeke while he was talking to Michael - how does she not hear him when Zeke says to Michael something like “You better not make a sound or you’ll never see Walt again”? It’s not like they shoved earplugs in her ears before they put the hood over her head.

You don't talk to me that way! You don't talk to me that way! I am a Division Manager! I drive a Dodge Stratus!

The Money Pit and Volunteers should keep anyone humble

Can someone give me a primer on the differences between the UEFA Cup and the Champions League - mainly on who's eligible and how they qualify?

I don't have any suggestions for the Hurricanes, but I want to give someone some props for this one in HSBC Arena last Thu: Varada: "I'll have the Roast Duck with the mango salsa" Chara: "I don't have much of an appetite"

I was just talking about that one the other day on the way to a Sabres game. Top choice all around. My other favorites are: 1.) Snow White standing by her mailbox reading a newspaper with the headline "PYTHON ESCAPES FROM ZOO", and you see a snake crawling out the back of her cottage with seven lumps in it. 2.) Two bears shown in a set of crosshairs - one has a big goofy smile on his face and is pointing at his buddy

Saturday April 29's was pretty good though

That's true about not being let go. My memory is starting to come back. The Sabres made him an offer for $4mil/year before the lockout. He turned it down. Then the Sabres let him walk for $3.5mil/year after the lockout. I suppose those are good points about Lydman and Teppo - actually more so about Lydman. I think we signed Numminen about a month before we traded for Lydman.

I was thinking about our defensive corps this morning on my drive into work. That got me thinking about Zhitnik being released. I still have mixed emotions about that move. Was letting him go to get Kalinin and Campbell more playing time the right move? We really have no depth at defense in our system so I'd still love to have Zhitnik around. But would Zhitnik still be effective/happy if we reduced his PT to 19-20 minutes a game? Was he let go in anticipation of signing another stay at home defensemen (Miller, Aucoin) while letting Campbell and Kalinin take over the offensive role? I have no answers here, just sharing my thoughts. I also have to say - we can't lose McKee this summer. He is vital to our defensive corps. We have no one else who can take over that role in our system.

Some people say corpses taste better pickled

Oh boy, this is really getting bad

Ladysmith Black Mombazo was also the band referenced in that SNL cartoon

Not bad in hindsight. But I didn't get it until you explained it.

Sorry, I didn't mean to slight Brazil. They're the obvious favorite to repeat. I was trying to say that I think we have the tougher grouping to advance. I'd prefer trying to beat out Croatia to advance as the second place finisher as opposed to the Czechs.

That was Taxi Driver

Farewell and adieu to ye fair Spanish Ladies

The odds in our group: Italy 7.5/1, Czech 25/1, USA 100/1, Ghana 250/1 The odds in "the group of death": Brazil 2.75/1, Croatia 50/1, Australia 80/1, Japan 150/1 I don't know, I think I'd like to try to advance over Brazil and Croatia rather than Italy and the Czechs

Jack Woltz: Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him, it'll make him a big star, and I'm gonna run him out of the business - and let me tell you why: Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International's most valuable proteges. For five years we had her under training - singing lessons, acting lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her, I was gonna make her a big star. And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, and that it's not all dollars and cents: She was beautiful; she was young; she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world. And then Johnny Fontane comes along with his olive oil voice and guinea charm, and she runs off. She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous! And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous! Jack Woltz: Now you listen to me, you smooth talking son-of-a-B word. Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is. Johnny Fontane will never get that movie. I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork. Tom Hagen: I'm German-Irish Jack Woltz (without skipping a beat): Well let me tell you something, my Kraut Mick friend! I'm gonna make so much trouble for you, you won't know what hit you!"
