Tanqueray & tonic followed by a lovely bottle of Prosecco (a gift) w/ dinner.

I dunno. The blonde factor might balance things out.

Dont know 'em that well, but like what i've heard w/out being crazy about 'em. Loved I And Love and You when i first heard it, but have settled into something more like "like" w/ it.

Material Issue - International Pop Overthrow, w/ a dash of Destination Universe as well.

I have never heard that at any show I've attended by any band, but that would really be something special to hear. Once.

I really like All That You Can't Leave Behind and really don't understand why it's not more popular. I don't mean to suggest that it's in the pantheon of U2 albums, but as simply a really fine straight ahead rock n roll album i don't find much wrong w/ it. I'm just commenting on the thread there, i ...

Hey, a lawyer who can make u laugh, and one who has a sense of humor about himself, is a rare bird indeed.

BTB--i gotta weigh in on the Nathan's hotdogs. Whenever i go out to Coney Island, i'm always unimpressed. I don't see what the big to do (holla!) is...plus they throw cheeze whiz all over the chilidogs and fries...i mean it hardens in 5 seconds. Made a special trip out there when my parents came to...

Damn, folks, you're making me hungry. Kind of like...

Yeah, I was really surprised to see that original comment in the old Norfolk thread. I thought the rule was pretty clear: If you got there to claim the spot originally, u can leave for various "convenience breaks" and expect to get it back (but not get there first, leave for 3 hrs then com...

yeah it's autobiographical... I think all great art is, to an extent, autobiographical. Even good science fiction or fantasy has elements of the author's life in it. Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. But he includes elements of his own life like the relations...

I am on the bandwagon!!!! Got my O-fficial hat and everything

But i do have to say that an arena decked out entirely in white is more than a little spooky.

exactly. Howard is fat, slow, and can't hit lefties. He can hit for power, but that can go away in a flash. You want to be paying this guy $25 mil when he's 35? Believe me, as a Cubs fan I know A LOT about terrible baseball contracts He may be big but he's not fat (take a look at the pic atop this ...

Yeah, i'm sorta w/ NGB: Ummmm....ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!! But of course some things are better than others: I'll stick w/ Nathan's hot dogs& fries (at the original coney island location) from the other thread; applies equally well here. Especially in the late nite/early morning hours. Ice crea...

I guess I picked well for a blasphemy thread I guess my point in not coming across very well...I am not saying that you can't enjoy live music more than studio recordings from the same band. Let me try to restate: if you don't enjoy listening to the studio recordings from a band you are not going t...

I swear there were some posts deleted from here. Am I right? If so, why? I don't think anything was deleted. There are 30 posts to a page now when it was set to 10 posts per page before. Just looks that way since there are more posts per page now. I actually noticed that & it's not what i mean....

Punt to your boss. Or lose their file.

coke I pretty much only drink coke, water, orange juice (for breakfast only) and stuff containing alcohol (beer 99% of the time).

Ryan Howard's contract is almost as bad as Soriano's. Good gravy If the Phils can keep their core (Howard, Utley, J Roll, Victorino, Halladay, etc) together and contend they way the have for another 3 or 4 seasons, then I'm okay with it. I dont know whether it's a good contract or a bad one, but i ...
