  1. Look I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the law. But, heck it is the law and is well known hence my comment on 'stupidity'. I smoke and can't take my trusty lighter on board but that is fine an old fashioned matchbox serves the same purpose quite well.
  2. That was TOO damn funny. Good one.
  3. 1. Disagree with him being even a good actor. Good personality on-screen but that is it. 2. Totally agree - that is what is worrisome. The dumb adults who can believe celebrities on topics which these famous people have no business talking about in the media. Also the impressionable teens who are not mature enough to know who to believe and trust. 3. Yep - my wife has it and medication has definitely helped a LOT. 4. If she was walking down the street, I am not sure many people would notice. She is neither a good actress (Batman Begins), nor cute/bangable, nor a movie star. Sorry, but she does absolutely NOTHING to me.
  4. Not me for sure. Especially considering the price of a new one. However, I wouldn't mind getting some nice pocket knives or ciggy lighters for cheap.
  5. I have a theory - once above 90 or below 10, the body doesn't really feel much of a difference for every incremental degree.
  6. For a change, at least some state governments are using their brains. People stupid enough to take such items deserve to have them confiscated. As a side thought, who from the govt. has time on their hands to spend on eBay for all these items ? I worry more about the opportunity cost of these individuals - could they be spending their time doing something better ? For outsiders, this is a great idea for a business - take all items off the governments hands for some fixed consignment fee and then sell over eBay. But reading down the article, looks like some people have already picked up on this.
  7. If I go with your logic, what exactly has TO 'shown' last year to demand a higher salary ? Whether he is injured or losing skills, both result in low output which means 'fading away'. One good performance in the SB does not warrant the return he is asking. The Eagles got to the SB mostly without TO. How much their offensive production would have dropped in the SB in TO's absence, we will never know. But we do know that they can get to the SB without having TO 100% of the time.
  8. While I agree with TO that McNabb choked in the last quarter of the SB (I still believe the game was fixed), doing so publically hurts your team. You can do all the complaining you want but do it to McNabb's face or to Andy Reid. Taking his negative opinions public does nothing to you. Also, a contract is a contract. He signed on last year, did not play most of the season and still expects to be paid better ? Sorry, I don't agree with that. Peyton Manning on the other hand is a classy individual who delivers through his actions on the field. Never did any information about their (huge) contract negotiation come out in the general press and neither has he ever sulked prior to that time.
  9. EM is a true-blue Bills player. He is one that was drafted by the Bills and has stayed with the Bills. I do hope he retires with us right after winning a couple of Superbowls. I would love to draft more people like EM who perform well but will not play the market simply to get a lot of $$. He has always been a team player and a model football player.
  10. Oh no ! You got me. I should have said nails on my back and no nails in the a-spot. Gaah !
  11. hey cool ! I found another guy that doesn't mind nails in the back. I kinda get turned on by them digging in. Not as good as the a-spot but it works.
  12. I too have several available. The deal with Gmail is that it is a new e-mail service with 2 GB of storage. Set up by Google, it is spread by invitations available to existing members. That way, people that value it sign up and not the mass sign-ups for other publicly available e-mail providers. PM me with your e-mail address if you would like an invite.
  13. {SPOILERS} I also loved this movie. A fantastic re-start of what began as a great franchise with Burton at the helm. Couple of knick-knacky points: - A little bit more humor would have been good. It is a movie, after all. - Rachel Dawes character sucked and so did Katie Holmes as an actress - I am one that did not particularly like Bale's dialog delivery. Some appropriate voice modulation would have been good. - Liam Neeson was not menacing enough
  14. Fez - How does the related Firefox extension work ? Worth an install ?
  15. Didnt have it during the screening I saw.
  16. To each his own I guess. I stretch mine with a few drinks, dimly lit basement and music by Floyd, Tull, CSNY or Mayall
  17. After hearing about this for many years, a friend loaned me a VCD. I will admit being very diappointed in that there are very few sequencies where it the movie and music/lyrics coincide. Am the only one to think that this 'matching' of movie and music album is a real stretch of imagination ?
  18. Considering my physical stature, I would be happy with either ...
  19. And I was hoping for a shot AT Kournikova. Ah well, we are both disappointed.
  20. I agree with you. Moulds and Evans were also being thrown at by the same QB so they should have also be non-performers. JR may be gone earlier than we think - probably a June 1 cut.
  21. Having had 2 interviews in the last two weeks resulting in two offers (yeah !), I can offer a few quick ideas. I am experienced and not a first time hire: - Offer a firm but not hard handshake - Don't sit till asked - Make eye contact, don't stare - Put all your energy in your replies as if that is the only thing that will keep you alive - At the end of the interview, tell them that you are very inteersted in the position and will look forward to hearing from them soon. Seems obvious, but just say it ! - Send a thank you e-mail within the next day - As others have said, don't even mention salary. If asked about your expectations, deflect and say you would rather see if thereis a good fit and then discuss that at a later date. Good luck ! Now I am in an enviable situation of choosing between three options- the two companies and staying with mine.
  22. As long as we are speculating, here is mine: TD Trades TH and our 3rd to Washington for their 1st (#9). Then trades down to get a lower #1 and a #2. Drafts a DT with the #1, David Baas with #2 and Nugent with the other.
  23. Are you left handed or right ? Just wondering ....
