  1. I liked the big Samoan singer that did "Tiny Bubbles"

     

    Next I liked the guy from Alabama that did "Helter Skelter".  I liked his glasses.

     

    I thought the women from Nova Scotia that did the Lox dance was good.

     

    But I guess my favorite was the girl that did a heartfelt rendition of "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus".  She had just the right touch of pathos and irony.

    This is really bizarre.

    Those are great images.

    "Tiny bubbles... in the wine"

    Maybe a guy who looks like Anthony Federov singing Helter Skelter!

    "Then I get to the bottom and I see you a-GAIN!!!!!"

    "Helter skelter - dunh-anunh-a-DUMMMM"

     

    Thanks Yoho for the images!

    What year are in?

  2. The American Idol folks that say "my mother says I can make it to the top!" or "my friends all think I'm a great singer".

     

    Very often they are delusional. Nice of their parents and friends to prop them up, when they can't really sing worth beans.

     

    Well, now Drew has a big star on his helmet and I'm sure that will make him feel a bit better about himself. "This is my team"

     

    "oops no, THIS is my team"

  3. Yeah, isn't that weird? All these guys with high voices - Brian Wilson (who sounded like he should retire!), Five For Fighting (more high-pitched voices).

     

    It seems odd for NASCAR to use these guys.

     

    Vanessa (wow) looked and sounded great!

     

    It's nice not to hear our national anthem massacred like some many have done before.

  4. Sure there are Gibson, Guild and Martin guitars waiting in the stores out there.  A specific % of what you're going to pay for one is lost in supportin the legend and name brand of these guitars.  They are nice.  I have a Guild D-25 acoustic.  But for an alternative to a huge name brand >>

    Makes very nice guitars and you get fair value for your dollar.  I think they have a great sound and are well built.  Try a few out in a neighborhood store and see what you think.

    I have to agree with the Surfmeister here. I have 2 Takamines - one a beautiful clone of a Guild 12-string - very nice rosewood back. The other is a clone of a small Martin 6-string. Both have incredible sound, and I bought them used 20 years ago.

     

    Unbeatable value - and great sound - and I believe they will last forever.

     

    On the other hand, Ovation? Ewww, a plastic guitar? Well, fiberglass or composites or whatever. I will take a guitar made of wood any day of the week...

     

    I have also always wanted a Gibson ES-335, but do not have $2000-3000 to spare. I bought a new blonde Jay Turser JT-135 (I think) via an Ebay merchant for $300 or so. Just a lovely instrument!

  5. There was  a Nike Missle site on Grand Island, not sure if it is still there though.  I remember being a kid, and walking in a friends backyard in the woods, and coming to the fence.  Never knew what it was until I got older and did some research.  It was one of many Nike sites scattered throughout the east coast.

    Bingo! That must be the one we visited way back when.

     

    I also got whacked from Bell Aerospace, eventually leading to my exodus from the City of Good Neighbors.

  6. Bannan could be a candidate for OG, judging by the experimentation with him this past season. It could be worth a shot.

     

    And while we are juggling players, I wonder if Coy Wire has any ball carrying skills, since he did that at Stanford. I doubt it, but what the hell. He sucks at safety, so give him a whirl at RB or FB since he likes to hit people. Probably can't catch though...

     

    Reed might get another year, but I would not mind seeing him cut. Oh wait, it's his "contract year", isn't it? Yawwwwn.

  7. Hey Mo, sorry I don't have a tape of day 1.

     

    Do you ever really WATCH these tapes of old drafts??? Yikes, sounds like a single guy with lots of time!

     

    No offense intended, pardner, but I just tape the Senior Bowl and such, then don't have a chance to watch them...

  8. i'm happy just seeing willis on the field for 3rd downs.......he's a solid runner, great pass blocker, and an unbelievable receiver.......

     

    i never understood why the bills used henry on 3rd downs last year -- he only has one of those three skills.........

    Yes, that always baffled me - how Travis could be considereda 3rd down back. Very strange choice for a position that requires blitz pickup.
