Jon in Pasadena

Yes, you're right, of course. At 3:30am my brain thought "Shane..." and my stupid fingers typed "Conlan" for some reason... And I agree that Tom was as good a DC as any we've had. Which, oddly enough, has nothing whatsoever to do with DC Tom.

I remember him from the days of Smerlas, Haslett & Conlan. A good coach and a good guy.

Wow, that's nearly 13' !

Hmm, is that the latest "flavor" of Hot Pockets ? (Still have not ever eaten one. )

As long as he feeds a steady diet of FieldTurfTM to Brady, Beck & Clemington I couldn't care less what motivates him to do it.

Actually, strictly speaking, I think it was a simile...

Thanks for ripping 30 years of scab off that wound.

With your van, I hope...

The line you're referring to was, without a doubt, the stupidest in a fairly stupid article.

It's the same thing with my local water company. They actually say right on the bill that it's cool to "push your payment through the little slot in our door during off hours". So I do just that. Saves a stamp. Of course I pay everything else under the sun online, and using a cash-back reward credit card whenever possible.

!@#$. Of all the days to spill super-glue on my blazer, it had to be today...

Not-so-healthy cuisine, large desserts, close to I-90 ... that all screams "Cheesecake Factory" to me!

This is basically what big hotels, and other places with miles of pipe between the boilers and the further showers, do to achieve that "instant scald-ability" effect, no matter what room you're in. I didn't know that anyone had made a residential product that used that concept. Pretty cool, er, hot!

Oh thank goodness. For a minute there, I thought Ron Jeremy got carried away or something...

I think they play SoCal pretty regularly. I saw them some years ago and B.S.'d my way backstage after the show to meet Jorma. Pretty cool guy.

OK, now that was just plain mean! (I missed the ph34r-ball down at the bottom; must be sleepy today )

How I hope our draft goes: A Better Tomorrow As Good as it Gets Enchanted April The Fast and the Furious Five Easy Pieces Fresh Horses Man on Fire Natural Born Killers Somebody Up There Likes Me Speed Sweet Smell of Success How I'm afraid it will go: A Nightmare on Elmwood Avenue Better off Dead Coyote Ugly Dead Man Walking Die Another Day Idle Hands Mission Impossible The Blob Return of the Blob Superbad The Dead Pool The Heartbreak Kid The Remains of the Day The Rocky Horror Picture Show The Year of Living Dangerously The Wackness Unforgiven How it will probably go: Scream Scream 2 Scream 3 (etc., etc.....) The likely net result: Zero Effect

It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Not a fan, but if it keeps you off those underage bicycles, I say go for it!

If it were one of my kids the croc was gnawing on, I'd do it without thinking. For the wife...well it might get up to an "eight-count" or so.

Read it in high school (actually it's Francis McCromber, I think). (*SPOILER ALERT*) And to repay him, his adultering wife blows off the back of Francis's head with a !@#$ing Buffalo rifle.

OK, big balls it is....

Yowza!

Wow, and here I was getting all upset because *my* wife threw away the Roomba without telling me, thereby depriving me of the rapturous joy of cleaning off the !@#$ing thing's optical sensors for the 1000th time so it'd stop driving in circles....
