Happy Birthday all y'alls.

My hands-down fave of all time is Takeo Spikes. Honorable mentions... Rock Cartwright Rohan Davey Dre' Bly Boss Bailey Na'il Diggs Worst name ever....Sage Rosenfels

This what you're looking for? http://www.ncpa.org/iss/hea/2003/pd081803e.html Not sure where the trial lawyers come into play though.

"He's a player with a high-motor." Surprised we got through 8 posts before this was mentioned.

Nielsen has a FAQ page that describes everything pretty thoroughly. http://www.nielsenmedia.com/ For what it's worth, I've never met any members of a so-called "Nielsen family" tho they claim to number in the hundreds of thousands.

They should put out an updated calendar that features photos of players on the sidelines with their head hanging down and a pained expression on their face. Now THAT would best represent the 2005 Bills.

My best to you and your family.

Yeah, well its gonna take more than releasing Shaw to keep me interested. I NEED NEWS!

....being kicked in the crotch by a loved one OVER, and OVER, and OVER, and OVER, and OVER, and OVER, and OVER....

Still glowing as a beacon for German engineering incompetence. More will be known by the weekend. Thanks for your PM.

It's *gotta* be a trade....right? Makes little sense otherwise...unless he got caught in the locker room with a male hooker and an eight ball.

McCain Stands Up for Plummer's Tribute to Pat Tillman The No Fun League really needs to get over itself and realize that the league is made up of human beings...not just marketing shills.

Why? So the 'Boys can have a glut at the HB position too? Doubt it.

Now you're talking! Weiss-bier! Arguing about which light American beer is the best is like arguing about which fat girl at the prom is the most likely to put out.

Agree on Fletcher. He gets the game ball as far as I'm concerned. He was all over the place and involved with most plays. Even saw Adams near the sidelines on a couple of plays and that's a rarity. Anybody hear anything from Pat Williams? Is he still on the team?

The car has 51002 miles. Not sure about VWs. I'll keep it mind.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm going to root through the links that collegeguy provided and probably take it to the dealer and explain to them in very specific terms what the situation is, see what our warrenty options are, and then take it to VW corporate if everything else doesn't pan out. My amateur diagnosis is that it may be a faulty MAF. It looks like they were recalled at some point. Other points of interest: - We have encountered the gas cap issue once already and make sure that the bastard is on there good. - She has the 2.0L engine rather than the 1.8 Turbo so the ignition coil problem doesn't likely apply Thanks again.

The first trip to the garage resulted in new plugs, removal and cleaning of the Mass Airflow Meter, and new fuel filter. Thanks. EDIT: Also, she bought it used from a dealer w/ appx 35,000 mi. It's got 51000 on it now. Is it likely that she has any leverage w/the dealer or VW at this point?

The check engine light came on in my fiancee's 1999 1/2 VW Jetta. She took it in to a local garage that she has been to before a number of times and liked. I figured that she would get dinged on some part and labor charge because a check engine light is always an opportunity for a garage to take your money right? A check engine light w/o an associated cost is a rare occurance. As expected they told her that she needed two parts. OK fine. So anyway, we drove down to Danbury CT last weekend for a wedding and before we got to Syracuse (from Rochester) the check engine light comes back on. Crap. We get back from the wedding and she calls the garage and they tell her to bring it in for another diagnostic. This time its an oxygen sensor, which they replace and only charge for the parts. This is starting to hurt a bit more but we're happy to not pay labor. This brings us to today. She picks up her car from the garage (newly "fixed") and she drives out to Victor (probably 5 miles from the garage) for an appointment. Before she even gets to her destination, the damn light is back on. I want to call the garage and explain the situation but I really don't want her to go back there for further work unless they give us free parts AND labor this time (fat chance). We are also considering disputing the charges for the work that has already been done with her credit card company. Any advice on what the problem might be and how to proceed? Thanks.

But you don't think that there is any change in the original assertion that the job numbers were disappointing do you? Does the number of gross jobs created being at the high end of a projection make it less dissapointing when not a single net job was created? I know that it disappoints me.

This one's no good. All the debates, jabs, and insults would be one-sided.

Way to pick on dead guys. I see the battle of wits has begun.

BF I like how you exhibit and, in some cases, surpass every single characteristic that you hate about (most) Yankee fans. (Except for bragging about their 26 championchips of course.) You are no different than those you claim to hate. You are a closet Yankee fan stuck rooting for the wrong team. Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. Obscurity will return for the Cards once they pack it up and go home. Enjoy your 15 minutes.

Some people (myself included) are interested in the perception that one candidate has of the other. Particularly hearing it directly from their mouths and for the record. Like I said, it was generally interesting but not the best question for debate. Whether they could say the presidents name or not is not really important. Let it go.
