I feel your pain. I may have to do a sympathy drunk.

There's more to adult relationships than just sex? Then why do they call them "adult"? Adult books? Adult movies? Adult bakeries? True confessions time: When i walk into the library, the first thing i come to is the "adult book return." Gets me every time. Then on my way to the ...

Mystery Train is the beginning and end of this convo for me.

Honorable mention to City of New Orleans.

First 4 entries include five songs from Blood on the Tracks. Pretty good album, i guess.

Well this is cruel and unusual punishment, lol, but what the hell. INPO:

Blowin' in the Wind (before it was a cliche it was a remarkable, and important, song)
If You See Her, Say Hello
Like A Rolling Stone
Forever Young
Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll

Truly impossible.

Slide, Eli, Slide! Memories of Joe Pisarcik...

Once again, the Pats prove that it's best to be both good AND lucky, but hey, it's a W.

Blurry, maybe, but still, what a great pic of a great moment

No wonder you're falling down on the job of posting pics of junior, beebs. You've obviously got other priorities. I do believe it's time for some serious imbeeb, i mean imbibing, of my own. Perhaps some maker's mark. Or maybe a long neglected 12 yr old single malt. Decisions, decisions...

Welcome pltxblues.

Definite contender for best post ever

It's probably safe to say that tax collectors are the same the world over.

World of Whiskies is a chain of sorts (possibly ltd to airports, I'm not sure). They have great tastings I've never noticed the cooley connection b4 but i'll be on the lookout next time (if and when there's a next time).

Assuming that's not what they were going for, what do u think they were trying to say (what kind of sauce did they actually mean)? I can't figure it out.

Thanks, everyone. I know there's people out there with far worse problems than I but if I can just get through tomorrow I have a feeling life is going to improve for me dramatically in the months and weeks to come. I have been feeling down and out for far too long and it's high time I took matters ...

Excellent choice, TC, may have to join u shortly. But first, Dash Rip Rock, s/t. That dime does know whereof he speaks. No surprise, but nice to hear nonetheless

New York, purty please! Tons of cool joints here. I recently learned that the Quad cinema is alive and well in the big apple. I practically grew up there, but thought it had closed a while back. Glad to hear i was wrong, and if it's anything like it was, it would be a perfect place to show the film.

Hang in there, Kudzu. Seems to be going around a lot lately, hopefully it's just temporary.

Yeah it's definitely in the water, so to speak.

Time to switch to beer, or maybe scotch. Or tequila. That damn water can be dangerous.

Iafter Exile, the Stones never made a record that was equally good (Some Girls comes close though). Crazy talk! Goat's Head Soup and Tattoo You (and yes, Some Girls) are stone cold classics!! Oh no. Not this again! Did Tequila Cowboy put you up to this? For the record (tee hee), I am firmly in the ...

Yeah, that's pretty wild. So the team that loses the coin flip doesn't have a choice of end, so what do they get as the "booby prize" instead? Which lockerroom to use? Which Cubs' autographs they get?

LOVE Calvin & Hobbes!!!

Ummmm, that's my nominee, not a diss or challenge

No comments on King Felix winning the Cy Young? If nothing else, it clearly represents the victory of the "quants/sabrmetricians/eggheads" in their long running battle w/ the "real baseball guys." While Halladay's win in the NL is not surprising, I was surprised that it was unani...

Love(d) Crenshaw (i too don't know what he's been up to recently), love the brox, but i'm not hearing this. Obviously they're all accomplished professionals and they'll make it work at some level, but it doesn't seem like an intuitive match to me. Count me intrigued as opposed to incredibly excited.
