  1. A little confusing. The question in the subject is different from the one in the poll. I will never come back to pro hockey.
  2. Cliffy's the best! Here are some lines from Cheers: Cliff: If I wasn't wearing this uniform, I'd ask you to step outside. Norm: If you weren't wearing that uniform, we'd all step outside. Cliff: I have impossibly high standards for a woman. Norm: Yeah, she has to like you. Cliff: How would the Civil War had changed if Abraham Lincoln had octopus tentacles instead of a beard? Cliff: It's a little know fact that 42% of deaths in America are caused by accidents in the home. Carla: So were you.
  3. Two people who have never been in my kitchen. (and that I would never WANT in my kitchen, thank you very much)
  4. Brings back some memories. Sometimes our laser printer stops working and it shows "POWERSAVE" on the display, and every time I get this playing in my head: "Tell me why I had to be on Powersave!" ...(duhn da da duhn da da duhn duhn)... "I don't wanna die, I'm a god, why can't I live ooooonnn..." Sometimes I shake my fist and sing it out loud. I've had some talks with HR about this. They think I should stop. I try to tell them that when the life-giver dies, all around is laid waste.
  5. Jesus would be so proud to know that his name is being evoked by a bunch of self-righteous hate-mongers to rob millions of people of their civil rights. Bravo, you lunatics! Oh, yes, Spongebob Squarepants has to go. My beautiful country, what is happening. The whole damn mess is sliding right back into some kind of backwoods dark ages.
  6. Nice! I like the Helen Ramirez character. I also like when she goes, "I don't like for a man to put his hands on me unless I want him to.... and I don't like you to... anymore." You're up.
  7. "You're a good-looking boy: you've got big, broad shoulders. But he's a man. And it takes more than big, broad shoulders to make a man."
  8. Oh, please let there be a special circle of hell reserved for people like this and let them get ass-raped with razor wire for all eternity.
  9. Royal: I've always been considered an !@#$ for about as long as I can remember. That's just my style. But I'd really feel blue if I didn't think you were going to forgive me. Henry Sherman: I don't think you're an !@#$, Royal. I just think you're kind of a son of a B word. Royal: Well, I really appreciate that
  10. If your "last laugh" takes place in a psych ward, it doesn't really count.
  11. I like AVP a lot. He definitely does not have a great radio voice, but he seemed to get more comfortable as the year went on. He gives another layer of expertise with his knowledge of the NFL playbooks. He will give details about why a given play did or didn't work, who missed an assignment, for example, or which blocker really nailed his assignment away from the ball to spring the runner, etc... Also, I think it's cool how much he just sounds like a regular guy. It's hard to believe he was an NFL QB. He sounds like some guy you get drunk with, except that he knows football about 10,000 times better than you.
  12. I'm sure I'm in the minority when I say I'd rather have her without the walleyed-torpedo boob job. She is a sweet one though.
  13. Huey Lewis and the news. Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consumate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
  14. Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your !@#$. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
  15. I do like hockey, especially playoff hockey. But, strangely, when it's gone I don't miss it much. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Same thing with the NBA. Their last strike turned me off and I haven't ever really gone back. I think there are many people just like me. It will be very very hard for the NHL to win back a solid fan base.
