  1. So I'm guessing they are hoping this guy is Fletcher's heir apparent? Looks like a good move. An even "trade up" from 4th round to 2nd in the 2004 draft. And they only have Euhus for a year, Watson is signed for another 2 (before you point to the NFLPA page that says three, there's an article that says he voided his last year...). And we eat less in amortized bonus... In all seriousness though, nice to get value out of an "odd man out." Hope this kid works out.
  2. 670 The Beast rounded to the nearest tens. 665.9 The Beast on an Intel box.
  3. Thank you.
  4. 668, the neighbor of the Beast.
  5. I think you should go over and demand one night's worth of mortgage payments....oops, wrong thread. How often will this guy turn 40 this year? Is this a new neighbor? If not, has this been a habitual problem? It does suck, 11:00 is the edge of reasonable, but I wouldn't make anything of it now. Who knows how long this guy will be your neighbor, and how he will react to being antagonized.... If you want to, though, find out what the noise ordinance is, add a buffer beyond that (to show you're being fair and neighborly) and say "the next time you're past that time, I will try calling you once. I get no answer, I'll have to call the police."
  6. Was he hopping around at the tee on every drive? I'm sure you enjoyed the shorter commute to the tournament this year. Sounds like a good time for a worthy cause.
  7. Except the "demanding" people are the ones who got the $50 off their bill. His consideration got him nothing. No new room, no compensation, just a bad night's sleep. ...and I imagine someone who came into your office "demanding" that you help invest their lottery winnings for them would be sent elsewhere...?
  8. And I don't recall quoting you in my response (unless you also post as "Chef Jim"). But to your point, it's not like he was trying to stop the reception (that would have been the Chef Jim method), he was primarily looking for a place in the building where his daughter could get a reasonable amount of sleep for the swim meet. He was as considerate as possible to the fact that weddings are important occasions too, and in fact I was supporting his consideration...
  9. Couldn't find "White Lace Black Leather" but here's some "Heavy Metal Love" Now excuse me, I have a YA meeting to attend...
  10. Oh, yeah, I suppose a shape that evokes memories of a bad '80's Canadian heavy metal band says "cool" to some, but not me... ...and my pants cover my underwear, thank you very much.
  11. So you're saying he has no right to B word? That's all he's doing here. He's not taking them to court, he's not threatening them with anything, he's just documenting an unsatisfactory situation that ruder customers were compensated for. He wasn't even told that the hotel was full when he offered to switch rooms, just an excuse/guarantee that the party would end soon (is that something that security would have been able to handle for him?). Are you saying that the Marriott customer service philosophy of "Do whatever it takes to take care of the customer" only applies if you call security when the noise bothers you and/or you B word up a storm?
  12. He's just bitter because he got it WRONG!
  13. This isn't Jeopardy, VABills. You do not answer in the form of a question. And I already got the answer right...
  14. Maybe because you're the only one here who actually watched it...? 3. Tim Anderson 4. That as sung by Jason Alexander (figured you'd be disappointed if I didn't YouTube a response).
  15. 3. Duke Preston 4. McDonald's is my kind of place! Hamburgers up your nose! French Fries between your toes! rattlesnakes in your face! McDonald's is my kind of place! 5. Martina McBride singing. (Edited 5 since you didn't WRONG! me yet)
  16. 1. Already Answered 2. Already Answered 3. Craig Nall 4. Why did I not think of this before? The (which was not written by Gordon Lightfoot!)5. Tony Bennett's song
  17. Yeah, I saw that after I posted...I was researching my 2nd set of wrong answers while you were posting...
  18. 1. Already said the correct answer 2. Trapezoid 3. Mike Gandy 4. "You deserve a break today..." (written by Barry Manilow!) 5. That it's the start of the Meredith Vieira era.
  19. 1. Trick Question: Pujols is still in baseball, so he's still the best. 2. Dodecahedron 3. Roscoe Parrish 4. Has to be this one. 5. That you'll be able to watch her at night now?
  20. What's really great is that he chose to live in Buffalo...not out in the swankier suburbs...sure he's in a "good neighborhood," but he's in the city...
  21. You've never heard of the Football Gods? Shame on you...
  22. So, Thailog, is there anyplace I can go to verify my home powder blue #15 Spieks jersey is genuine? Ebay is full of crooks, not just in the collectables biz. Computer crooks too...
  23. We have a winner.
