While some posters declare their attraction to freaky skanks like The Runaway Bride, I will say, unequivocally, that I am completely smitten with Maria Sharapova, grunts or no grunts.

That's precisely why I made the "sick freaks" comment in posting the link, knowing that I might be contributing the the depravity of the "freaky crazy people are HOT!" crowd.
Then again, it's not so much contributing to the depravity as it is providing an outlet for it. How altruistic of me!

My vote is most definitely for "not hot". However, some of you sick freaks might enjoy the following reading from The Smoking Gun:

I made the mistake of going right to page 6 of this thread rather than reading from the beginning. And there in the middle of page 6 was the quote above.
And now I'm a witness to threats of violence and I'm bound by duty to inform the authorities!
Kidding, of course. But dude -- chill!

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. Based upon your question, I just went out to the parking lot here at work and fired up the car. No whistling noise! I'm wondering if it's truly a matter of temperature -- it's a warm day here in Northern California, and the temperature under the hood of my black car is pretty high, even with the engine off.
Another clue? Or perhaps just more confusion?
I gotta find time to bring the car into the shop.

My 1995 car, with about 98,000 miles on it, has begun making a noise every time I start it, and I need some troubleshooting assistance. The noise is a whistling / chirping kind of noise, that oscillates rapidly. Once the car warms up, after just a few minutes, the noise stops. Is it a belt problem? Something else? I want to sell the car soon to make way for a brand-new one, so I'm also wondering how serious the problem is and whether I need to get the problem fixed before I sell the car.

Last night I had about 15 minutes to kill, and I turned on ESPN to veg out for awhile. I was bummed when I saw that women's softball was on. But, noticing that it was the deciding game of the NCAA Softball Championship Series, and that the score was tied in the bottom of the 7th (the last inning in softball), I decided to watch for a few minutes later. Next thing I realize, about a half hour had passed and I watched until Michigan upset two-time defending champs UCLA in the 10th inning. It was actually very interesting to watch -- outstanding pitching, good coaching, different strategic situations than baseball.
And no, I never want to face an elite women's softball pitcher in the batter's box. Even though I was an all-star baseball player back in the day, those chicks would fan me no problem.

I used to think Holmes was the hottest thing in Hollywood. THEN came the Tom Cruise news (ugh!)... and THEN, worse still, I came across this blog entry about her. This is definitely safe for work, although you might lose your appetite!

I wonder whether Schobel is emerging more as a leader. He's not the outspoken/fiery type of guy, nor is he a game-changing talent, but he has been a solid performer and a foundation for our D for as long as anyone else on the team. Plus he comes from a true football family, so he can probably dish it out as well as he can take it.

She also seems to have lost her voice -- she spent most of the song screaming "Yeahhhhhhh" in a raspy growl that was a cross between Macy Gray and James Hetfield.
Maybe eating the other contestants gave her acid reflux, and she can cop the same excuse as Ashlee Simpson?

What a lame episode last night. I've been a regular Idol viewer for two seasons now, but this episode made me question why on earth I waste my time with this show.
What's next -- commercial jingles? Hymns? Gregorian chants?

The Smoking Gun is actually quite reliable. There's another article on the topic on Entertainment Weekly...

From The Smoking Gun:
MARCH 31--An "American Idol" finalist was once arrested for felony domestic violence after roughing up his infant son's mother during a Valentine's Day fracas, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to police, 28-year-old Scott Savol, one of the remaining nine "Idol" contestants, was busted following a February 2001 confrontation with Michele Martin at the woman's Ohio home.

Please... someone.... ANYONE... make Constantine go away. As if his singing wasn't bad enough, we must continue to endure his double chin, his vermin-toothed pseudo-stud-muffin smile, and the most annoying mannerism to hit prime-time TV since Dennis Miller laughing at his own inane jokes on MNF: Constantine praying for your votes by putting his hands in prayer position in front of his face and <gulp> KISSING his own hands.

Precisely! Hawaii's head coach is former NFL guy June Jones, who runs a down-the-field passing attack.
Hawaii's QB prior to Chang was a guy named Nick Rolovich, who played high school ball at Marin Catholic High School, just a mile from my house in the Bay Area. Having watched Rolovich a lot in high school, I was thrilled to see him tear up every Hawaii passing record... until Chang came along and surpassed Rolovich in most categories.
For two years after graduating, and Rolovich spent a lot of time in NFL camps (mostly the Broncos) without making the roster... then went to NFL Europe... and now is playing for San Jose in the Arena League. Turns out that his numbers at Hawaii were mostly a product of the offensive scheme and the poor quality of competition. I'd speculate a similar future for Chang.

It's kind of ironic to have Bills fans criticizing others for rethinking their allegiance to particular historical figures, given how most of us used to idolize OJ Simpson but now would rather not be associated with him.
Jefferson=Simpson? Not what I'm saying. Just offering an observation on this particular thread.

...and a 6 for his Wonderlic score... the lowest of all Combine participants. I don't want to bash the guy for his well-documented learning disability, but it's another legitimate strike against him.

As a Buffalo-to-CA transplant myself, and as someone with experience helping people conceptualize and launch small businesses, my two cents would be to broaden your potential market beyond those interested in Buffalo food. Maybe a broader Great Lakes focus?... with "local" specialties from not only Buffalo, but also Chicago, Cleveland, Michigan, etc.? You could organize the menu as such, and target your marketing infiltrate other "transplant" groups such discussion boards for the Bears/Bulls/WhiteSox/Cubs, Browns/Cavs/Indians, etc.
Resume updating question
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
I'm the head of HR for a mid-size publicly-traded company, so I'm accountable for all of our hiring. To reiterate what's been said, no, it's not illegal to lie on your resume, although it's totally boneheaded because more often than not, people eventually get caught when then do.
But more importantly, people generally don't state their race on their resumes. In fact, I've NEVER seen someone do this. Sometimes people put activities and affiliations on their resumes that might imply a certain race (e.g., "National Association of Black MBAs"), but I've never seen someone with "Race: black" on their resume.
And despite all the cynicism that people have about affirmative action and diversity-based hiring objectives (see above), in this day and age it's virtually impossible to find companies that hire on the basis of anything other than skill and experience qualifications. If two people are equally qualified, then perhaps race/gender will come into play as a secondary factor.
