  1. Do you by chance have a comcast internet account? They have a stream feed for Monday's game.
  2. All I know is that I programmed them into coaches mode, and they keep running a double fake reverse screen pass.
  3. And you bought truffles and everything, too.
  4. I stand corrected. Someone really does need to speak out for alpacas. Do they normally vote republican or democrat?
  5. Who are all the guys in suits running out and kicking in the air too? Looked like a Can-Can festival.
  6. (Courtesy of an email I got from EryntheRed) Just in case you need a laugh: Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems,document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident. P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order. P: Auto pilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed. P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level. P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That's what friction locks are for. P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode. P: Suspected crack in windshield. S: Suspect you're right. P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!) S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right,and be serious. P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed. And the best one for last.................. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget
  7. That part, I think is more on Al Jazeera. This threatened pipeline shutdown business should have the speculators worked up for another few bucks a barrel.
  8. Be careful of your piercings. You would hope it might be tight enough to hold the spoon on - but just from being able to get it up there, I doubt it.
  9. BTW, another confirmed case of mad cow found in Canada.
  10. Yup, I'm going to work on my Bin Laden's lapdog personna now as I review this new Chad/Sudan oil pipeline shutdown / AQ call to arms thingy that is well off the American news radar too. But, there has been a new arrest in the Natalie case.
  11. Sorry, meant to post on OTW - mods, feel free to move.
  12. Example A: Soccer fight... If you slap me I'll fall down! Example B: Legal check just playing the game: I'm sorry, but anyone who goes down like that after being slapped twice deserves a sport played in knee socks. "We'll pull your hair and kick you!"
  13. I've posted this link before, but once again a nice consolidated place for relevant articles and analysis. globalsecurity.org - WMD page
  14. For those who have access and can't get the game any other way, COMCAST internet has the game streamed live on Monday.
  15. Hope you loved your monthly Bush Bash You are beginning to see the ripple effects our political heros and wise news executives are having on our strategic security. For me, I would hope they will choke on it - but they never will. When everyone's gas is $8.00 per gallon, make sure you blame someone in the White House. And that is just one problem. You don't let TV (or Congress) dictate foreign policy. The last thing we needed to do was to give China leverage against our own middle eastern interests. But, "Bush was going to sell our ports to terrorists". This stuff just pisses me off. For those of you with the knee-jerk "Who cares what they think" response, the world just doesn't work that way. It's a chess game, and you don't spot a knight and a bishop for some self interest airtime. Don't think that China has forgotten it runs terminals at a few west coast ports.
  16. Hey, you two get a soccer room. This is a manly man hockey thread. Take your shorts and kneesox somewhere else.
  17. Thinking about it, watching them play soccer on ice could get mildly entertaining. Must use leather soled shoes.
  18. Beats being Dipsy Chickensquirt. That's something you have to get your car washed over.
  19. Does that work against the ones already infesting?
  20. Those not involved in the celebration drive-by.
  21. I'm not an addict, but keep up, watch when they are on. Always follow the playoffs closer.
