i hate it but i'm uncontrollably drawn to it
It's that time of the year again where I decide I will no longer be fat, won't take so many shots of jager that CSI:Baxter Ave is required to help piece together the evening and my dignity, I stop wearing sweatpants to bars, I clean the shithole that is my condo, and that I stop eating the oh so delicious Southern Chicken Sandwich from McDonald's for ever damn meal. Things are gonna change, I can feel it.
PS - Joe, I'm gonna get you the cash money for New Years as soon as I get my debit card back from the bars. I know you're still in hole so I can get you a check if need the money soon really quickly.

by the way, adrian's girlfriend trying to make a break for it was my highlight of the night. i swear that girl made it to the end of the street in 15 seconds. if we had a drunken Olympics that night I'd put her up there as a preliminary favorite for "100m time while crying".Good times.
no rush on the money as long as I know I am going to get it. Once I get it all i will get Chris his share.
I'm in on the New Years resolution
I can't put down the fritos and taco dip
The last time i saw a person run down this street that fast was a naked Poopy Martinez trying to get out of taking a bath.
right on, joe. I know you guys dropped some serious change on that and I didn't want Laura showing up at my condo looking to punch me in the face until I pay up.
Coddamn you, Phil
hold the fuck on...why was adrian's girl running away? what did you all do? i thought only joe made girls cry on new year's...
charles barkley got arrested for speeding b/c he was going to get a blowjob:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,475244,00.html
There will also be a wad of cash coming from me as well. I had it in my pocket all night, but my hands were always full with bourbon, jager, or beer.I think the flip-cup battles were a highlight of the evening.
Since Cincy got beat and Louisville sucks my CATS had to step up and win one for the local guys.C-A-T-S CATSCATSCATS
12 hours later, i'm back in the swamp. had a good time guys. good to see you all. See you next year.
Damn car just cost me $350. I had a blast on Wednesday night. Cuban is out and the place is almostput back together.
Anyone out and about this evening?
nope. I am drinking jello shots contemplating life over football. don't see myself venturing out, spent too much money on a couch and fixing my truck.
you got a new couch? what happened to your truck?
Joe - why are you contemplating life for? Did Laura give you an ultimatum like Michelle gave Brock?All I know is Brock never paid attention to her ultimatums and it never hurt him.
new years ammendum: don't get so drunk that you agree to go to 4th street and then the ghetto white castle.

i, uh, may have armed my adt security system thingy accidently and now i might be locked in my condo. fuck
i *think* i have killed it. jesus those things are retarded. i swear at this point I could be an adt security installer.
no ultimatums. Just a hectic, busy day. rotors on my truck were shot and a link on the front of my truck broke so it was bouncing around on every bump rubbing stuff and burning things. Thing is the right one broke 3 months ago and I had my brakes repaired then too. They failed to replace the rotors then and the Ford Ranger is known for those things to break.
Does this count as busting a move on Erin Andrews?http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footba...rn=ncaaf,131994
yeah that sucks, I hate when I have to repair something on my car. Not that I have repaired much, as it has been a good solid dependable car. But I have gone through a couple batteries and replaced my catalytic converter unit. Then again, I did buy my car new in 2003 and it has 156K miles on it.
I'm ready to retire
getting back to work after the holidays is always hard
so it looks like i might be moving back to civilization sooner than expected. sarah and i are putting an offer on a house not in smokolona this week
Where at?
Don't say Indiana.
don't insult me like that, okolona's about as bad as I'd get. It's in Bradford Grove, a neighborbood off Hunsinger Lane, so back in the east end. 4 BR, 3 BA, big unfinished basement, so I could possibly do my best Wes impersonation and work for years on finishing it w/o anyone ever actually seeing ithttp://www.semonin.com/Listing/List...eColorBar=false
I've been in a couple of houses back there. Nice.
If you, cuban and I all live within a couple miles of each other, where do we do haircuts?
who cares, that's a good problem to have, rather than me having to cart my ass for 20-25 minutes every time i leave the house. speaking of which, i'm heading over to mark's after work to get my cut, if you need one as well
the biggest issue i'm going to face though is getting my condo sold soon, which is a big if in this market
very true
i'm gonna try and get my condo all cleaned up, and put it up on the market. i'm hoping to sell it by october.
we make me feel old
we are old...the good thing about my condo is it's only 2 1/2 yrs. old and i don't really need to do anything do it, just some touch paint and get rid of some crap
I resent that
haha, well i resent that you own your house free and clear, so we're even. plus we can draw the st. matthews vs. okolona comparison, so you get a slight edge on that one as well
this is the house I'd buy if I needed 4 bedroom and 3 baths:http://www.realtor.com/search/listi...df9a&lsn=10If only they had a smaller 3 bedroom / 2 bath version floating around. Jerks.
I don't wanna be old
the I resent comment was about we are old nothing about your condo.
i figured that out after i read it again.
but you are getting old, you have a live-in girlfriend, it's all downhill from here buddy
Douglas - looks like a very nice house, I bet when you walked into the master bedroom you were thinking "but it's a manly pink".
Its not pink it is salmon
no, i was thinking this gets painted the fuck over before i move in. even sarah was appalled
I tell you what, I'll sell you my house and you don't have to worry about finishing the basement, as it is already done. I'll buy a new one so I can start finishing that one and take another three years to complete.
Was Skeletor actually talking to Nitro when he said you two boobs?http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,475904,00.html

I'm not helping you move. Hire movers.
I'm not being an ass but I am holding you to your comment about hiring movers you made last week
that was random, i fully intend to, but you're jumping the gun a little bit. i'm not planning a move before i make an offer
I'm bored
Work sucks. Meeting at 2. Yay!
The bastards I am mentoring won't leave me the fuck alone and when they do leave me alone some bastard thinks their computer is broken or a printer is broken and I have to go mess with that. I just want to sit at my desk and put my headphones on and not be distracted for a few minutes. I'm not even that important, go bother somebody that gives a shit or has authority. I am delegated by higher ups to help my equals wasting my time so they can surpass me in the future. Seems retarded. They will rue the day I get a small bit of power.
Speaking of power, how badly is Texas going to power romp OSU tonight?
i just want OSU's ass to be really sore when it's over...
Fuck the Big 10
Who was responsible for the quote "there were like a millions lauras and joe didn't sleep with most of them." on Wednesday night?
I'm gonna assume your brother. But B-Mac could have said it too. Wasn't me.
lsu's new db coach...ron cooper. yes, that ron cooper.
I wanted him to take Kragthorpes job
not sure how much damage he can do as a DB coach, so LSU should be alright
well, he's actually been a pretty good db coach. he's been at south carolina for the last three or four years. but i still remember 0-10, so it scares me.
Coach Cooper is a pretty good DBs coach, and Barry is correct he coached the Cocks the past few years under Spurrier which isn't an easy thing to do.Of course, I still remember a post game interview that happened last year or two years ago and a reporter asked Spurrier about a certain defensive formation on the last play and he sent another assitant after Ron Cooper to get infront of the media and take a public questioning by Mr. Visor.
yeah, i remember that, cooper that just gotten out of the shower and his hair was still wet or something, no wonder he jumped ship and got the fuck away from the ol' ball coach
This seems cool but for some reason I don't think I would make a good FBI agent:http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090105...s_nm/us_usa_fbi
So I was watching Cheaters this morning and they referred to some douchebag's car as an exotic roadster....which turned out to be a Pontiac Soltice. Thoughts?
I'd love to work for the FBI. Abby doesn't like the idea of me wanting to be the first person through the door on a raid though. Probably the life for a single man without kids.
Phil could pull off the FBI computer nerd. Put his stalking and ADT hacking skills to good use.
if he's already spying on chicks, he might as well get paid to do it
Might be a better closer if he can say I am an FBI agent.
Funny, I've actually checked on working at the FBI when I was bored. I easily qualify for being a special agent. Not sure if my grades in college are up to snuff. Still, it's a shame that the FBI computer nerd department is called the "Cyber Division." That certainly does not pick up chicks.
you don't say the department, just FBI. if they ask what division, you say "I'm sorry, that's classified" and just watch their panties start dripping
this is embarrassing:http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archiv...06091vail1.html
I wish I knew someone that fished so I could buy them this:http://consumerist.com/5122552/beho...he-wunder-bonerI like that Mike Rowe is in the commercial too
Btw, I have many times extolled the benefits of getting a sea world membership because you can get free beer there. Apparently they've decided that free beer has a limited appeal and took away that loop hole. It really was a Douglas dream come true. Everyday you could go get some free beer and hang out with penguins for like $70 bucks a year.http://consumerist.com/5124070/anhe...ne=true&s=x
penguins are too cute
how did i not know about that?
Phil, I fish. But I don't really want your boner...no matter how "wunder"ful it is.
i'm sorry that was awful
I know this is late, but Joe, I was the one about you and the laura's. Also, what happened with Jessie?
woohoo I got a job interview tomorrow at 9
where?
or is this for your promotion?
promotion, and they already told me who is interviewing me.
if it's a lady you should flirt with her, show her what you learned in your sexual harassment training, giggity
She is a Cincinnati Reds fan and Dallas Cowboys fan. Married to my old supervisor and has a 3 year old daughter Sara who likes to be called Sasha.
you should say "you know who else is a reds fan? deez nuts!"
I have been approved for my load. I bought Refridgerator, Washer, Dryer and Microwave. All i need to do i close on the thing and get out of my Apartment.
Your mom was approved for my load
Hey it's Josh. Did you not respond to my text because you have trashed my computer beyond repair?
Got an interview in 15 minutes, wish me luck. I suited up today...legen...wait for it....dary.Phil, I can get you my dentist name and number after the interview. Can you help out with the router and laptop? It was working briefly then took a turn for the worse and won't pick up any internet any more.
Interviews are gay.
How did it go?Did you have to pull the "thank the driver" move like in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?
This is a rumor I saw on the kentucky.scout message board. If true, I guess you could say Chavis was pissed at ewe tee."UT....Rumor I got from a buddy in Knoxville is that in John Chavous's contract with UT- it states if he leaves UT, UT will pay the difference in his new contract for 2 years. Example: UT paid Chavous 750K a year and LSU gets him for 700K, UT will have to pay him 50k for the next 2 yearsHis annual salary with LSU is... $1 so UT has to pay him $749,999 for the next two years...."Taking that orange fuckers.
now this might be a legendary high school prankhttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&...&iwloc=addr
Damn I heard of some vicious taunts but never go back to the oven before.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,477450,00.html
viscious
What a stupid taunt. the only thing the israelis got going for them is everyone's horrifying guilt about the holocaust and their fear of being called an anti-semite if they don't back Israel. Fucking morons.
Phil, Laura said you were looking for a dentist to put you under and fix your tooth:Ken Schafer 4100 Taylorsville RdLouisville, KY 40220(502) 452-2326?
thanks joe.here's an excellent review of "The Secret" and how it saved one man's lifehttp://www.amazon.com/review/R2X2TB...=cm_cr_rdp_perm
Has anyone ever done a job interview where you are required to do a timed writing sample? All I know is that mine was awesome and that someone referred to it as an episode of Touched by an Angel.
Was "Touched By An Angel" a porno by any chance? I'm just thinking you could make some good money writing erotic fiction.
i was touched by a sheep named Angel once
ok, so i busted out the fry daddy last night and tried to make homemade spicy chicken tenders using the wendy's secret recipe. Second batch was a little better, but still not a triumph. But throw in a couple of beers and you've got yourself a solid snack for sitting back and watching some Biggest Loser.I never watched the show, but from what I can tell the show is about 60% of people standing on scales, 25% footage of the participants crying about being fat, 10% product placement and 5% of them working out and eating healthy.That being said I think there are a couple of girls in there that could look cute if they lost a shit ton of weight (i.e. 200lbs). As brent says, you can only get 3 of 4 - looks, personality, smarts and body. If you can get everything but the body, but you know she's trying out for the biggest loser, would it be worth fucking a manatee for a few months for the potential to get connect four? Or would her personality suddenly go once she's no longer a fatty fat fat kid?
Won't keep the wieght off and will go back to being a fatty fat fat kid
hmmm, good point. never trust fat people.
I could see the ugly duckling sydrome for the period they are skinny. Still have the fatty fat fat kid insecurities.
Direct quote from 2nd in charge of our office "I'm grazing up and down the aisles looking for anything to stick in my mouth." It took everything to not bust out laughing at her.
Joe - you should have filed a sexual harassment complaint.
Oh and the Simms kid is leaving UofL.
i saw that one coming, he never seemed to gel w/ the new staff
Anyone notice that Google Maps prank was on the corner of Cedar and Shaft?
I believe on here I said he would be gone when he was suspended for pot. I am just too lazy to look it up.
Daddy must be proud
Today for some reason is team colors day at work so we got to wear our favorite teams gear. Chick is rocking the "Okalona All Stars" jersey.
good for her
it's always nice when people are proud to be mediocre
Mediocrity - it's good for the soul.
We just had the worst office meeting ever. It was all about playing the game and winning as a team and they played jock jams
Seems to be some conflicts in the comments sections with dorks calling each other retards, but big props to this 9 year old boy.http://www.matratz.com/2009/01/05/9...rl-and-her-dog/
that's awesome, i remember a meeting when i was at new equity where mgmt had tried to pump everyone up for some big meeting when they were restructuring the company, and they were going to announce all the changes at this meeting at some fancy hotel. we walk into the room and they're playing jock jams too, and the hotel had drinks and appetizers and shit, and our shitty HR manager got up, who no one liked, and tried to get us pumped up and shit, and our VP then got up to announce a couple promotions, blah blah, and then our new "improved" commission structure. It was funny b/c after they described, everyone was doing the math in their head and we could clearly see it was shittier, so now no one was happy, and they kept trying to get us peppy. After the VP announced the changes and we were all pissed, the HR mgr. got back up to speak and asked why no one was more excited. The absolute awkward silence in the room was one of the funniest things I'd seen in my life
they should have used this song for motivation:http://www.truveo.com/Peyton-Mannin...L/id/2319805933
UK makes the onion. http://www.theonion.com/content/new...cky_player_must
the notre dame part was awesome. it whould have been funnier if it was "also managed to win a bowl game" but i bet the onion staff just assumed they had lost.
i'm surprised no one beat me to this:http://www.break.com/pictures/who-d...phil642852.html
It is a guys last day at work today and he had a recording of the music at the end of star wars as he walked out of the building. It was classic.
it's no jock jams
I think I'd use his recorder to play the Imperial March everytime I was up and walking around.
Big Daddy Drew's football jamboroo is extra fantastic this weekhttp://deadspin.com/5125719/the-leg...sional-jamboroo
Okay Lee Corso is officially off the rocker. I know he is just bringing up controversial shit because that is his job, but to say that USC should be the national champion because it was more impressive that they held Penn State to 24 points in the Rose Bowl. Granted the Florida-OU game was more of a defensive contest, which I love by the way, but how is that more impressive than Florida holding the most prolific scoring offense in the history of college football to 14 points?Now factor in that Iowa held Penn State to 23 points, OSU held them to 13.....so it that not more impressive?
Go UTES!
Is it bad that lee corso can make lou holtz seem reasonable sometimes?
It's kind of fun watching these goes go off in the deep end.
fire Joe Pa and put him on ESPN Gameday.
That would be a sight to see.
lee corso, joe pa, lou holtz, bobby bowden and kirk herbstreit as the GameDay creew.
I decided I am never allowed to have nice things. I bought a new couch over the weekend because mine finally reached the point where it was more painful then comfortable and I would actually call it broken. So I went and picked it up yesterday got it home and took the plastic off and the protective cardboard off the corners and it was ripped already underneath one of the corners. so I have to take it back on Tuesday and pick up a new new couch. They won't pick it up and exchange it free I have to take it. Fucking douchebags.
Yeah that fucking sucks, I'd probably just take it back and buy one somewhere else. Fuck them in their stupid asses for being incompetent.Of course if Joe Pa did join Game Day, he would have to do a couple games from the Game Day Truck because his leg injury would prevent him from walking to the Game Day stage. Instant classic if you ask me.
where did you get the couch from? i'm still kinda amazed you're buying new furniture, so many changes from joe, a girlfriend, a cell phone, a facebook page, dogs, and now new furniture. Only a matter of time before you follow in the rest of our footsteps and complete the final transition to total gayness, the ring...you're our last best hope
oh yeah, go SEC!
well said. It is a cheap ass thing from Value City. It was actually all my idea. I was unable to watch tv comfortably and that is a priority. When I would be sore from watching too much tv I knew there was a problem. I didn't know of too much tv until this.
There is no too much TV, you just needed a new tool in your toolbox to better facilitate your lifestyle. In this case, the couch is your tool
i was friends with a girl whose dad was a carpenter. for what it's worth, he said value city generally at least uses good quality materials and the such
I have not thrown out the couch either. Storing it in the garage with my other 10.
This woman at work found out I have a degree in math so she is convinced I am a genius. She now refers to me as professor. I have convinced other people in the office who have heard her refer to me as that that I am in my spare time a streetballer and am like the white boy on the And1 videos known as the professor. How long do you think I can keep this up?
until they see you play basketball
the professor's just light skinned, he's not really white
I think you should keep it up for as long as possible. You can always deny playing basketball with your peeps, you know due to And1 contractual obligations.
I much rather be AO, then everybody would be like, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa YOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" When you walk to the copier
Nashville is rockin' with a playoff game. Almost as much as Cincy when the Bengals made the playoffs in 2005. Definitely an advantage of living in pro sports towns.
Adrian, any new word on the house? Douglas, I got a notification about a condo for sale from Sara. Did you put the offer in on the house? Brock, I guess you are becoming well adjusted to dealing with failure.
the first offer got rejected, the seller is relocating, and so we're having to deal with a relocation company, which is a major pain in the ass. second offer's going out today or tomorrow. i've spent literally every minute of the last three days clearing and cleaning out my condo to get it ready to go on the market
yeah, sarah sent something out on facebook, basically just trying to do anything we can to get it sold quickly
This place is dead.
to UK fans: micah johnson is coming back to UK for sr. year
Tebow is coming back too.
So is Jeremy Jarmon and word on the street be that Trevard Lindley might be coming back as well.If UK gets all three of those guys back, especially Lindley, that is like snagging a 5-star at the last minute.
So how low hass the Louisville football program sank? I mean seriously, the guy you just hired to replace English just quit, do you think working at a place for a week will hurt him in future coaching searches?
Tony Dungy's retiring. That's huge.
I hope the Steelers lose
i like the playoffs for the rest of this year, there aren't any teams that I really don't like, so I can just enjoy the games knowing that a manning can't win this year
Too many of my co-workers are douchebags and they all like the Steelers. I allow one of them to slide because he is from Pittsburgh, but he is still a douchebag giving steelers fans a bad rap.
How bad did the Titans fucking blow it out their ass?Seriously, they had two turnovers in the redzone against Baltimore and they weren't by Collins. One Lendale White fumble and another by Algae Crumpler.
The AFC and NFC championship games are always better than the superbowl, just like the final four in basketball.I'm rooting for a Eagles vs Ravens superbowl. If the Steelers get to the game then jerome will be insufferable for like a month. And if the Cardinals get in then I'll have to put up with Kurt fucking Warner biographies and shit. And please god don't let Pat Tillman get brought into the fold too.
if i had to pick i'd probably go eagles-ravens too, just b/c mcnabb needs one, and i like the ravens b/c the only way they win is smash mouth football, it's not pretty at all, and I like that
I bet there is a little fan with the Cardinals that flaps his arms and Pat Tillman appears to help out his fellow birds.I understand you don't want to hear about Warner, but I actually like that guy...hard for me not to root for him. So quit being a hater and let a team of has beens live the dream.
nice angels in the outfield reference
I just want to see Larry Fitzgerald or Anquan Boldin do the Rod Tidwell dance.
Insufferable?!?!? Phil, you work in an office with cap-wearing-gum-chewing-goatee-growing Cat fans, fair weather Cards fans and I'm "insufferable"? Here's the test for a Steelers fan douche, Joe ... if you say the names Tim Worley, Cliff Stoudt or Gabe Rivera and the person cringes, they didn't just jump on the bandwagon. Too many people didn't give a shit in those days and wouldn't acknowledge being Steeler fans then even if they were from Pittsburgh. Also if he hates Joey Porter now because he wears a different shirt, then by all means break out the Summer's Eve.Since I want it to happen, an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl will probably tank and I'll be stuck eating nachos and watching Ken Whisenhunt and Andy Reid try to out mustache each other.
fuck ... I meant John Harbaugh ... I guess I'm drunk
Jay - Did you ever beat the Force Unleashed game?I beat it as the Jedi (where you beat the emperor) and then as the Sith (where you turn on Vader). Pretty fun game, love the game play.
I just found out they are having a meeting at 1:30 for all the candidates for the promotion in my office. There are 5 of us that interviewed and we don't know how many they are taking, except at least 1. If I would have known they were doing this today I wouldn't have gone to white castle for lunch. My stomach is doing a number. They said the meeting will take under 15 minutes. We think they are passing out envelopes saying whether you got the position or not. Could be awesome monday or suck. Wish me luck. Watch it be they aren't announcing the postion at all, just a simple meeting.
What if they bring you all in and say "The winner is...right after this commercial break."
Good luck, Joe! I hope you get it. No matter the outcome of the meeting, I really think dry heaving at the conference table would be seen by all as an excellent show of strength and character.
Good call, Brent. Maybe there will be 5 hot chicks with suitcases instead of envelopes too.
you know what would be funny was if they were getting ready to hand you the envelope saying you got the job at the same time your white castle started telling you to get to a bathroom pronto, and right then switched the envelopes
They will say we are all equally qualified and then have a paper rock scissors contest for one job.
"Tiger Claw" beats paper and scissors
I'm gonna hurl
I just want to help people
joe, whatever happens, keep it to yourself until you're outta the locker room. Don't celebrate in front of guys who just died.
I quoted that to 2 of the 5 going to the meeting.
did anyone respond "what if we are one of the deceased?" Because if so they are a worthy foe.
Of course if you are one of the deceased, I'd go with "Up your butt Jobu".
I'm gonna catch on somewhere else and everytime I play against you guys I'm gonna stick it up your fucking ass
I'm gonna drink some rum during the UL game tonight
Should have gotten a live chicken.
Somebody is going to be in trouble.http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/01/12/fl...rash/index.html
They suspended the opening due to too many trainees and the affect the promotion would have on production so nobody was promoted.
In other words, the economy sucks and we don't want to pay anybody more money?
Hey. Ya know Joe, not getting a promotion can be a very painful thing. But it don't have to keep ya down for long. I mean, let me tell ya something from my own personal experience. I've never had a promotion interview like you, but I did get kicked in the balls once by a mule. Now, I thought I would be hurting for the rest of my life. But you know what happened the very next week? My momma died. Hell, after that, I didn't care no more about my balls hurtin'. You see what I'm gettin' at?
It has nothing to do with the economy. They are just going to hire externally instead of promoting. There is no motivation and office morale is horrible here. They just hired 2 externally last week. They feel promoting requires training 2 people while external hiring is only 1 person that needs to be trained.
There was another promotion from the position I was going for to even hire and they suspended that one also so the entire office is pretty irritated.
You wanna help me with my real estate site? I'll give you 5% ownership of the company so when I sell it for 100 million dollars to some sucker you'll get 5 million.
I could see a union uprising out of this.
I think management just gave me blue balls. Getting me all excited then leaving me hanging like that and then crushing my hopes.
I just wanted to put on my headphones and rock out but my radio can't pick up shit and the best channels I can pick up are 102.3 and 100.5 so I just heard Hootie and the Blowfish and then "total eclipse of the heart." I really need to get my mp3 player i got for christmas up and running.

oh, and for the record I am no longer allowed to help people with their computer. Since I've turned 30 I'm 0 for 3 on the fixing department. Two solutions have been "uh, just format this bitch" and the other one involved Joe and Laura calling Insight tech support.

harangody is a jackass. Go UL! Digger Phelps and his ESPN guys can lick his nuts all they want he is still an ass clown and I hope Pitino calls him out on it. His 5th foul was a douchebag move and he can take his 28 pts and a loss back to south bend and use McAlarneys tears as lube.
I think I just trained a dog to be awesome on Fritos and beer and UL basketball. Wih each basket by UL I gave the dog a frito and a drank of beer and all it does now is lick its crotch and lay down now. This might be the proudest moment of my life.
I may or may not make it to work tomorrow
If someone cou;d tell mem where my other sock went I would greatly appreciate it. This is gonna ea long basketball seasn.
If I make it to work tomorro buy stock in the makers of ibuprofen.
so are we buying ibuprofen stock or not?
What I find hard to believe is we didn't kill off the keg, but then again several people weren't drinking and several left early.
who knew joe buck was so important?http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archiv...91marshal1.html
Wasn't there a usual keg-killing event that weekend?
I believe that is called NYE.
so i guess joe is dead
hence, no imminent stock purchases for ibuprofen companies
yeah, apparently he's laying on the couch at home. i think the little guy had a rough day yesterday
i think it's a great statement to not show up for work the day after you get screwed out of a promotion
Yeah, I bet they are thinking he is at a job interview.
if he really wants to fuck with their heads he should show up to work tomorrow in a suit
Exactly.and take a long lunch.
And I thought HIMYM was pretty funny last night. I lost it when Barney bought the television just to have something to smash.
yeah, it was pretty good, i don't like this running subplot with barney falling in love though, barney don't love dem hoes
actually, barney don't love dem hoes in more ways than one
this comment on deadspin regarding the irish going tits up in overtime made me chuckle: "Surely the first time in recorded history than a few Irishmen quit work early."
UK took it to UT tonight on the road. Jodie Meeks broke the UK record for 3's in a game (shared by him and Tony Delk) by knocking down 10 treys and ended up with 54 points breaking Dan Issel's single game scoring record of 53.
great headline.http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basket...rn=ncaab,134033
so do we feel better today?
not really
let me rephrase, do you feel physically better, or is this one of those two day hangovers? I'd understand if you're still pissed though
Really wasn't too hungover yesterday. Mental health, didn't want to snap and do something I'd regret later. Might happen today though.
Joe - Trust me man, it sucks. Especially when they promote somebody not nearly as competent as you are.
I'm just pulling the sit at my desk and avoiding interaction with anybody. Working well so far. I am not answering the phone or reading emails either. I read all my emails from yesterday I missed and it was pleasant so I quit reading emails. Get this, they asked a couple of us who didn't get the promotion to the position to train the people they hired externally to the position we were interviewed for.
http://www.courier-journal.com/arti...ONE02/901140796Douglas, St. Matthews Little League getting a facelift. I wonder if this is in connection with the plans for Trinity to build a home field there?
it doesn't look like it's in connection, i think they needed some repairs anyway, at least to the original fields. isn't trinity playing their home games at that park across from cox park now? i forget the name...munsoon maybe?
or hutchins?
damn it's cold today. How cold? I put on my therma-fit sweatpants for work
Yeah and it is only getting colder tomorrow and Friday.Joe - why did they decide to hire external candidates for?I can tell you first hand when a company promotes from within, it can be hard for existing employees to work under their colleague or friend. You usually experience some type of counter production.Do what I do, when you go home play some type of violent video game or just tear into your gf...that can be a fun stress relief. LOL
do you tear into your girlfriend after a long day at work? how does abby feel about that?
Hiring externally requires training the promoted employee and training a replacement. Too much training.I drink and kick puppies to release stress. Sometimes I get the dogs drunk too and then instead of dog fighting it is drunk dog vs. drunk human fights. The chick dog is in heat but the male is too retarded to figure out how to hump it so I am safe. If they do reproduce it is more puppies to kick but then again they could also gang up on me in the long run. It would be a small army of vengeful puppies out to take me down. It would be like Wade's fear of midgets and shetlund ponies.
Douglas - once you are married you don't have sex anymore with women. You are gay, remember?
you are correct, sir
pretty funny and relatively short for the sports guyhttp://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3829660
i just read it. i can't believe the heat retired number thing
dad and i had a discussion last night. does anyone think earl clark plays like he is on the take. i said that to my dad and he said i was the second person to say that to him. i'm kidding of course, but recently when louisville starts to pull away he turns into an idiot.
So some people don't have a sense of humor. Went to lunch at TGIFridays for someones birthday. it was 11:30 and the server asked if we would want like any drinks and I said is it noon yet and she said its 5 o'clock somewhere to which I followed with my parole officer would disagree. The horrified looks I got made it appear that people didn't think it was funny. I thought it was classic.
I still say that T-Will has some sort of mental problem. Not joking.
Joe - I don't think anybody will disagree.
after our hockey game, coach valvano was upstairs chatting it up with me and Pat. He was saying that Jay Bilas took T-Will aside and told him he's gotta stop finishing layups like a girl.
He's right, Vince Carter made a nice living by being explosive.
There was an interview with T-Will on Sportscenter after the game Monday and the little sportscenter coming up blurb referred to it as happy happy joy joy. Also T-will said that he was thinking during the game what would Jay Bilas be saying on TV. So I agree that Bobby V said that.
I hope to be really fucking happy at 3 pm. Word on the street be that Trevard Lindley is returning to school for his senior year.
too bad patterson and meeks will be gone
Yeah I realize it more and more, it's a pipe dream that they come back for their senior and junior year. Personally, I think them two will talk it over and if one goes, both go. If one returns the other will be back to try to win a championship.
Things look good when you get USC transfers.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/...tory?id=3832581
Brock - Brian Kelley has done a fantastic job at UC. He is going to build UC into what UofL should have been.
Jay Bilas has given so much to that university. First he gives Louisville a national championship and now he's mentoring T-Will.
Here you go Douglas.Lindley returning for senior seasonPosted 3:00 PM ET - Eric Lindsey, UK Media RelationsThey say the best things come in pairs. At UK, they come in threes.After testing the NFL Draft waters, All-America cornerback Trevard Lindley announced Wednesday that he will stay at Kentucky for his senior season in 2009. Lindley was one of three UK players that explored the possibility of entering the NFL Draft, but all three are coming back.“I sat down with my family and also talked to Coach (Rich) Brooks to discuss what I wanted to do,” Lindley said. “I want to get bigger and stronger and continue to improve.”Lindley, a junior cornerback from Hiram, Ga., finished the 2008 season with a team-best 15 passes defended and 11 pass breakups, and tied for the team lead in interceptions with four. His 34 career pass breakups is a UK record“I advised Trevard that he should strongly consider his option (of going to the NFL) because he was rated fairly high,” Brooks said. “I'm excited, and a little surprised, about his decision to return.”His return, along with All-Southeastern Conference defensive end Jeremy Jarmon and All-SEC linebacker Micah Johnson, should bolster one of the SEC's best defenses in 2008. The Wildcats, who ranked 40th in the nation in total defense, helped guide UK to its third consecutive bowl victory in 2008, the first time in program history UK has won postseason games in three consecutive seasons.“This enhances our chances of being a much better football team next year, when you have one of the top cornerbacks in the nation return,” Brooks said. “With seniors like Trevard Lindley, Micah Johnson and Jeremy Jarmon, our defense should be very strong going into the 2009 season.”
fuck yeah! and call me optimistic, but i'm not so sure pat and meeks are gone
lafell is going pro. charles scott and ciron black are returning. wait... none of you give a shit
i give a shit, UK has to play LSU next year
i don't think so. we don't play you again for awhile. Ricky Jean Francois is leaving too.
it's every two years isn't it? last game was 07, i don't know, maybe i'm wrong. if we don't, then you're right, i don't give a shit either
networking problems right now. i knew our network was acting wonky a full 3 minutes before out $25,000 worth of monitoring shit found out due to the sci...
nope we play Florida every year, so we rotate the other 5 east teams, 2/year, home and home. Its more like every 4-5 years. We played Georgia at home this year, the last time we did that was the 2003 NC season
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i'm drunk
way to represent on the weekday drunk.
so before I went out I was on some retarded message board where someone was asking for advice with his ex-gf. My 11:50 advice: "My ex-girlfriends have not responded to me. At this point in a relationship you'd fullly expected full penis in mouth fornication BUT NO. DO NOT expect your sexy/sex to follow the basic guidelines set forth by cinexmax because they are dirty whores that do not know the joys of having your special lady, that you love more than thing in the word, more than Left for Dead and more than clean socks. As awesome as clean socks can be I say avoid them. Because the DEVIL uses clean sock to 'clean up' if you know what I mean"
Was that even a coherent thought?
i'm sure it made sense at the time
was this a drink at the bar or drink with your cat night?
stay away from tampahttp://www.breitbart.com/article.ph...;show_article=1
i was up at gerstles

Insight fucking blows
Has anyone seen black Bellarmine ball caps with just the knight symbol on them. I saw someone wearing one several months ago, but haven't been able to find any. The baseball team doesn't wear that kind of hat right?
The baseball team is just the B. At one point we did have a hat that was maroon bill with a black hat and a knight emblem. Bellarmine sells merchandise?
Barry - do you have any clue as to where Brandon Spikes was projected to go in the draft? I was really hoping he'd go, that guy is a freaking stud. He's big enough to stop the run and yet is quick enough to drop back in coverage.
I hate incompetent ass clowns that fuck shit up
the hate the baseball team had with the knight emblem was just our practice hat, we never wore it for games, the ones we wore for games always had the Boston B. Bellarmine has stepped up their merchandising efforts, they have a lot more hats and shirts and stuff in their bookstore now. I saw a lot more Bellarmine Football shirts on campus recently too
Basketball team lost their first game last night
Big andre smith will probably go number 1 if he entered the draft.
yeah, they apparently lost it at the very end, they were bound to, it'll probably be good for them in the long run to lose
take some pressure off
Bellarmine knows all about losing
yeah, i think they were getting too uncomfortable with all the winning and they needed to blow a game at the end to remind themselves of who they really are
As Wiegandt doesn't get the credit
guy at worked asked me if I had an in at the Athletic Office to get him some tickets to the sold out games and of course I laughed. I don't think Wiegandt would hook me up, probably Chris though. Chris has more donating potential.
Knight Hall is getting sold out?!I miss the glory days of Wes and I being 2 of the 8 fans on the end of the court heckling Gumby.
huh, i was thinking about grabbing some sushi at cafe mimosa for lunch today. Looks like that's out of the question:http://www.courier-journal.com/arti...ONTPAGECAROUSEL
When I was there it would be the baseball team as over half the student section and then the rest was the SGA. The baseball team would make fun of one particular player on the opposing team first, then the SGA, then the cheerleaders and dance team and then our own players. Douglas has a good story about heckling a guy with the last name Enos. rhymes with something else.
btw, friday night lights is on tonight at 9pm. The bitch of it all is that since they are technically repeats NBC isn't listing them as new on my DVR. So I had to set my DVR to record all friday night lights episodes that show up on NBC HD. If you set it to record all episodes it'll pick up all the ones on Universal.The more you know.
i played high school ball with matt enos at waggener, and for the KY Wesleyan game where he played i got horribly drunk on captain morgan's (which i still won't drink to this day b/c of that night) and was running up and down the student section yelling at him. there had to have been little kids running around asking their parents what a penis was that night
i'll never forget him just sitting on the bench with his head in his hand just having to hear me, legen...
dary
Do penis jokes ever get old?
John L Smith is headed to Arkansas. It's a shame Cooper went to LSU instead. That'd be kinda funny.
they can have kragthorpe
Kragthorpe might just go down as the most important UK recruit ever!Brock - We had fun doing that. I think I looked into season basketball tickets to bellarmine and they were like 50 bucks. Last year I told Abby that I was going to snag a pair before they got good so we'd have seats (actually I was thinking for when we go D1 in 20 years)...she laughed.Look who's laughing now.
Adrian - I have seen Andre Smith as high as #2. Aside from Andre Smith, who is the potential #1?
Are you thinking Matthew Stafford as #1?
anyone doing anything tonight?
Wow, haven't heard that question in a while
true
just thought i'd throw it out there
Probably go home from work and stay home and not freeze.
guess it's guitar hero and tiger woods tonight for me
Yeah that is what I'll probably do as well. I know Chris was wanting to grab a beer last night but AJ wasn't feeling well so I stayed home with him.
i'll probably include some maker's in my plans as well
god we're old
Probably beer pong to kill the keg.
Trust me I know. I am 30 years old and have a kid. I feel ancient.Sucks having responsibility. I remember the days when the weekend started on Wednesday night.
surprise, kendra cheated on hef:http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2..._isnt_what.html
Hef is the creepiest iconic symbol out there.
You praise his glory, Wes.
Oh don't get me wrong. I respect the man for being an innovator, but he is kind of creepy looking. What is he, 90 going on 200?
i don't give a shit how creepy looking he is, he commands our respect, b/c while we're talking about playing wii and playing with our kids, he's banging hot 20 year old ass in his 80's
according to the article he isn't getting much ass at all...
See that is the problem I have. If I were Hef, I'd be so doped up on Viagra I'd walk around with a hard on 24/7, but he's not. Instead he's giving weekly allowances and small talking. He should just marry the Bridget girl and walk away from the glory and pass it on to his hornball son (who is a teenager I do believe) who would atleast have a good time.
There are some great players. This is the order i would take them.I don't know who has the number one draft pick but below is the order i would go.1) Andre Smith - I am tired of quarterbacks going number one and lineman are so much more valuable to the team.2) Maualuga or Curry (best linebackers in the country)3) Percy Harvin (Best player in college football by far)4) Dicky Lyons
The sad thing is, there is some hick in the sticks somewhere that agrees with #4.
Hey Phil, a week later the computer is now working and Insight no longer has my home phone disconnected.
Big win!
bad news, the keg froze in the garage. No flat BudLight tonight.
Phil, you play hockey tomorrow or is it a bye week?
I'm not playing, but my plan right now is to throw my stuff in my car and head up there. If they need a sub I'll play. Otherwise I'll just drink and watch the Cards play in the bar
I was considering watching the game there if we planned to go out after hockey. I might just watch it at home if my mom is cooking chicken wings like she mentioned.
i'm up for some post hockey adventures.unless we go to fucking crapplebees.
Joe - Your mom is putting that degree in home economics to damn good use. Eat some wings for me.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/squidn...285750/sizes/o/
Mmmmm UL basketball against #1 in the nation and 5 pounds of wings, beer cheese and soft pretzels.Watching Duke - G-Town now, I hate DUKE.

Hey phil, does maximumasp host seejanerun.com?
looks like we do. any reason for this discovery?
I bought a garmin forerunner405 from them...the handiwork looked familiar.
huh. they just host with us. we had nothing to do with creating their site so that's oddof course it's an asp.net site, so there's like a 5% chance we host them.
It was more with the error message I received than anything.
xota,who would win in a fight...dr. manhattan vs jean grey as the phoenix ?
I love this Martin Luther King guy
he sacrified his life so you could get an extra day off work, how great of him
What's more important, someone sacrificing themself to clear your sins or someone dying for a day off work annually?
I like Adrian's question. I think I'd go with the Phoenix. Dr. Manhattan is pretty bad ass being able to exist in all points in time and control things on a molecular level, but he's so mentally messed up. Jean would drive him nuts. When they meet, he'd end up saying something like, "And this is the moment I meet my ass kicker"
Oh, and I get at least 4 days off from that clearing-your-sins dude.
What about The Phoenix, Dr. Manhattan or Silver Surfer?
hmmm ... I must yield to the gentleman from Frankfort. Throwing the Surfer into the mix makes things a little more complex and interesting. A more experienced mind needs to chime in. Any time now
Sorry for upping the complexity. I haven't even seen Rise of the Silver Surfer yet, I just know he is suppose to be pretty badass.
Douglas - jealous?http://www.break.com/pictures/sheep...weet648903.html

Midday Brendan's is delicious. I could grow accustomed to that
I haven't been to Brendans since it opened.
Okay, midday drinking is fun. Brendans is nice on mondays because 100% of procedes are going to the 4 kids who died in that car wreck a few weeks ago. Drinking for charity always makes me feel good.
Jerome and I used to go up to Brendan's every monday, but the cute waitress stopped working there. Those bastards.
Joe - you should have kept drinking. It was for a good cause.
Mmmmm...the little Jimmy (at least I think that's its name) is awesome. Fried chicken, bacon, egg, cheese, and mayo...can't get any healthier than that.
Inaguration day should be a federal holiday.
It should be a holiday for everybody.I am pissed because I am at work.
The new First Lady is a MILF
Did anybody watch the inaguration concert on Sunday? Are Shakira and Bono even US citizens? When I think Barack Obama I immediately think people like Steve Carrel, Jack Black and Jamie Foxx speaking their political voices. It was almost awkward to watch how much they are trying to push diversity. They did everything but an "ebony and ivory" duet at the Lincoln Memorial. Obama seemed thrilled when Garth Brooks sang 3 songs.
Didn't get to watch it.
The Bon Jovi duet was creepy
So what was Obama's facial expression when Garth Brooks took stage?I have to say I am kind of disappointed with Obama. For this inaguration they are using $49M in tax payer money, which is greatly more than any other inaguration in our history. In fact, I think you can sum the last 5 inagurations and it still doesn't equal this one. Surely he has the money left over in a private fund to pay for this damn thing.
Garth sang "American Pie" and "Shout". Neither of those are his. He attempted to look excited and sing along but it was painful. Obama during "Shout" looked like he wanted to be drunk in a toga in a basement of a frat house and during "American Pie" it was the look of wait he didn't sing this song.
What a minute? Who doesn't want to be drunk in a toga?
If that $49M generates a $100M boost to the DC and airline economy, its probably a good investment.I heard a commentator say something about people handing out Starbucks. Whoever paid for that probably single-handedly covered those taxpayer dollars.
Who paid for the eleventy billion port o pots?
Brock - you are right it does, however, I figured he'd make a statement and use private funds to help spur the economy which would be an infinite return on investment.
the government, the port o potty companies needed a bailout too you know
Also, if it is $100M generated, what portion goes to taxes? So the government is still in the hole.
i just can't wait for a couple months to go by and the halo effect to go away, when people realize their lives haven't changed at all, and I can start watching TV again
They have monitors they put up all over the office that they don't really use much. Every Tuesday and Thursday they run a powerpoint presentation on a loop for a couple of hours. They were going to put the inauguration on them for this historic moment and then at 10:30 they went to turn them all on and the cable doesn't work. Go team!
See ya later W.
Good speech. He said a lot, now lets see what he does. Lot of people overreacting in my office. Some tears, some hissy fits because people didn't like him being elected and refused to eat in the break room because it was on tv and some people mad because the price is right wasn't on. 17 minute speech, kind of short. Way to stumble through the oath.
I didn't get to watch it....but I am sure I will be able to find it on youtube later.
more importantly south park studios has a break down on how they made the obama episode up on their site with director commentary: http://www.southparkstudios.com/gui...e/1212/sixdays/good stuffOBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMA!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE!

Posted to Craig's List Personals: To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown (Downtown, Savannah)Date: 2009-01-06, 3:43AM ESTI was the white guy with the black Burrberry jacket that you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize.I didn't expect you to crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?I know it probabl y wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again. I took the liberty ofcalling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself some gas on your card. I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet, then I threw the wallet itself in a dumpster. I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel just shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I could only get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office with it. Oh well. So, about your pants. I know that I was a little rough on you when you did this whole attempted mugging thing, so> I'd like to make it up to you. I'm sure you've already washed your pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like to reimburse you for the detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you use, and was it liquid or powder? I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'mhoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky. If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch and laundry. Peace!- Alex
god i hope that's true, that's hilarious

I don't see anybody beating the Shamwow.I actually have one of those things (a big shamwow and a small shamwow). My parents bought some at the home and remodelling show, because let's be honest, that infomercial has to be the most damn near most convincing thing ever. I did the internet research and they basically said it was more like Scamwow, so I did my own test.I filled up a 6x9 pan filled with 3/4 to 1 inch of water, and used the little Shamwow, which is roughly the same size as the pan. That little fucker picked up all the water in two tries. Keep in mind this thing is probably onlly has a thickness of 1/8". Needless to say, I was Shamwowed!!!!I am tempted to pour out some coke on my carpet to see how well it picks it up, but at the same time, what jackass would intentionally spill coke on his carpet just to Shamwow it?
jerome has a shamwow story regarding his basement flooding i think. i believe her created the Great Wall of Shamwow.
I could have used a shamwow that day god tried to spite us all and take us out in the great flood.

Killing Yourself to Live and Klosterman IV. Not sure where they are though.I did just order his novel and Fargo Rock City while listening to the podcast. Amazon.com 1-click shopping is the devil.

word
message received from management:See what you can do to "settle down" the social ring that seems to congregate in your general area. It's not an issue yet, and I don't want it to become one.
that's some solid management speak right there
I think someone went and told on us. We might get sent to the principal 's office. It is a group of 4 of us that sit next to each other. 3 of us are the most senior people on our team and all got rejected for that promotion. Go government!
WE talk a lot because we meet our daily production easy and lack motivation so we talk to keep our sanity.
haha, that's bullshit, i fucking hate micromanagement, as long as your job's getting done who cares if you socialize a little bit. people fail to realize that a happy and social workforce is much more productive than a pissed off, bitter one
If only it were that simple
it's amazing how little common sense some people have
so are you resuming the job search?

Karate Kid remake? Is it really old enough for a remake?
Been checking out other gov't agencies for positions more fitting of my degree
Joe - ever considered Humana?You work in insurance related job now right?
Of course I'd think working for the government is pretty sweet.
Gov't is nice and if I get some lateral movements for my grade level to jobs with decent advancement I am in a sweet situation
It depends on what you're doing. The environmental lab was easy. Not much work and I could dick around all day. Now I'm with state police and I don't have enough time for anything.
Ah I see. So what other positions are you looking into Joe?
Not gonna lie, Chris and I flipped back and forth between the UL game and American Idol. We were hoping to see if Brody made it past the judges.

I just read that T-Will was 2 of the top 10 on Sportscenter.
So i just evaluated my first Dr. Burket patient. Good times.
scary
did he have dirt rubbed on him by any chance?
the patient went for a second opinion because they didn't agree with the therapy of "walk it off you pussy."
i was getting ready to ask if he was there to 'walk it off'. was there a band-aid on his broken leg or anything?
Chris' other extreme from walk it off or rub some dirt on it would be to amputate everything. Was the leg cut off for ligament damage?

hey joe, did you get my e-mail with the indy details?
yep
right on, didn't know if it got blocked by the feds
That's an interesting idea for a reality show. But I liked it better the first time when it was Disney's "Invincible."
Cheryl, are you sure it was my patient? There are two of us at UL. Did the patient call me a pretty boy?
What about queer?
We took care of this drunk ass of a patient who broke his hip. After we fixed him, he kept bitching about pain, and we literally told him to walk it off. He ended up coming back into the ER 3-4 times within a couple weeks after discharge, drunk still bitching about pain. Finally, he got drunk, fell, and broke the thing again. He was an ass to us, the nurses,and everyone who met him. One morning I came in a called him out on his drinking, so he called me a pretty boy. I was quite taken aback because of all the insults that could have been thrown my way "pretty boy" was the last I expected.
Pretty sure...didn't you say you were working with Malkani? Script was signed by Burket with Malkani's name signed at the top
looks like character is gonna land at UTEP. Quick, name a NBA player that went there! Hint: 80s rap
no clue
Yep, that would be me. How frightening is it that I have people out in the world that I have put metal in to? Nobody should die without some steel in them. How unethical is it that patient's think that the attending surgeon does the entire case?
Put metal in to and they let you, not like shooting a guy, stabbing a guy or beating them with a metal baseball bat.
That would be Tim Hardaway, of Run TMC fame and owner of the record for worst shooting performance in NBA historyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUCn...v6CM&fmt=18

Poor clueless young blonde girl I work with. She is all into the texting lingo with the acronyms and stuff. Somehow the social ring was talking about Juveniles music and the Hot Boyz. I make reference to "Back that thang Up" Instead of "back that Ass Up" because I said it is NSFW. She didn't know what it was so I said not safe for work and she said I always use NWA (not work appropriate). She was unaware of anything else that went with NWA.
Silly blonde girl
Phil, are we supposed to be going to Flannigan's tonight with Sean and Lori?
good question. i haven't heard from them so I'm gonna play it by ear. I'm not getting crazy go nuts tonight due to having to get my happy ass up at 7am to make it to indy tomorrow. I should have just ponied up for two nights up there. I made a huge mistake
It is Indiana, I wouldn't want to be there that long.
Anybody have any house buying updates they would like to share?
Hey Phil, you think I can get your New Years money sometime soon? We came up kind of short on expected funds that people promised this year. Anybody else that hasn't ponied up yet it would be greatly appreciated if you did.
i got the cash money ready to go. i can't believe gerstles still had my freaking credit card. they've got good people up there.they also have, in my opinion, the best fish sammich in Louisville. Cumberland Brews might be a close second.
house update: we're signing a final contract this weekend, close in about two months. because it's a relocation company they wouldn't accept a contingency, so i've got two months to get my condo sold or i'm carrying two mortgages until i do, fun stuff. i'm basically saying fuck it b/c this thing is way below market value right now and rates are so low we can afford two mortgages, it's too good of an investment not to take. anything else at that size with a good location is at least 40-50k more expensive. long story short, i'll be back in civilization soon
Congrats. Found out last weekend the above stated Lori and Sean from hockey live in your condo complex, not the town houses.
Phil, did you do those exercises last night?
no shit, i only know like two of my neighbors, the old lady dolores who's a widow and some ghetto ass kid that sarah thinks stole her gas when we were out of town over the summer
Okalona kicks ass
Theye said something about living in the middle condos
yeah, that was the second building, i live in the first one that was built
no, i suck. i got caught up doing some work stuff. i might have to head up to the work out area and give them a shot.But I have been trying to do the shin rolls at my desk. Holy fuck. I swear it's a miracle my hips are strong enough to support my fat ass.
Chris and I went biking yesterday. Trails were soaked so we did a little road riding. i had a nice combination of my knees suck and my ass is out of shape and I think I am dying.
I got this watch in the other day...https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do...2&pID=11039It google mapped my route which is pretty cool. Now I just need to buy the garmin edge 705 for my bike
Abby and I are closing on our mortgage refinance. 20 year loan, locked in at 4.875%. Jackpot.
yeah, i'm getting a 5% on a 30-yr, can't beat it
Yeah that is pretty sweet action right there.I honestly thought my 5.5% loan would be as sweet as we'd ever get.
oh, so i'm doing these shin rolls brent. I'm assuming there should be more rotation of my hip to get me foot up and down my shit than just lifting my leg. So after about 15 my foot goes numb.Am I gonna die?
yes
Can I have your car?
If I can have his bike and TV
and it pops too. only on my left site. that's the hip that was dislocated so I guess there is no surprise there. i was thinking about riding yesterday. i think i'll wait until the trails are in better shape though. i have a hard enough time when they are in great shape
it's the shamwow vs girls gone wild, and george foreman grill vs bowflex in the as seen on tv final four.http://www.cnbc.com/id/28812810?__s...ag*&par=RSS
Trails won't be okay for at least 2 months I'd say. After things finally refreeze and then eventually thaw out.
stupid trails being jerks.hey brent, is this the pull up bar you bought?http://www.amazon.com/Iron-Gym-Tota...0821&sr=8-1
Yeah, but don't buy it there, I saw it in one of the Walmart neighborhood store for $20
That is a great pull up bar. It allows you to do pushups and crunches since you need a bar to help you do that.
i'm gonna hang one on my door at work and do a pull up everytime I leave my office. eventually I hope to be able to do two pull ups! in a row!
Get crazy and mix in a chin up.
i thought I posted this, but here are a list of prop bets for the super bowlhttp://sports.bodoglife.com/sports-...-team-props.jspI wanna bet the over on the brenda warner, the under on the big ben references and for the orange gatorade to be dumped. my question is if this is legal in kentucky?
actually, i can do like 4 chin ups. i'm the mother fucking man when it comes to those bastards.
lori just texted me. flanagans is a go.
I'm texting her too. We should be there.
Word. Lynnie even mentioned doing something tonight. My plan is to be in bed by midnight though. We'll see how that works out.
Good luck. Is Sean playing at Indy?
Nope. He's lame.

best swing dancing move maybe. better than when i dropped ashley mcgee on her head that's for sure.
I hate devendorf
Looks like Seymour, IN will get some pub. Besides being the town I use to work in, the newly crowned Miss America is from Seymour.
Do you think opposing stadiums were wife beaters with devendorfs name on the back. If Syracuse came to UL the fans should all wear wife beaters. Devendorf should have been suspended all season for hitting a woman.
Who will have the best conference record: UL or UK?
If I were the big man on Cuse's team I would have punched Devendorf in the face and told him if he wants to act like a bitch I am gonna treat you like a bitch.
Devendorf is a douchebag, courtesy of the C-J:Preston Knwoles threw up an airball midway through the first half and immediately drew the attention of the Big East's fiercest trash talker, Eric Devendorf. Then Devendorf made a three and told him about it. Knowles wouldn't relate what Devendorf was saying, probably because he didn't want to say what he said back. When Devendorf made a three to put Syracuse up 55-54 with 3:03 left, he started yelling at Knowles before the ball ever went through."It was just good fun," Knowles said.Here's the last word: This is a U of L team that is beginning to specialize in getting the last word on opponents. It outscored Syracuse 13-2 after that.
oh snap
When is the last time UL and UK were ranked? I think they will be this week.
they were both ranked last year weren't they? i know UK hit the top 25 for a while there, and wasn't UL there most of last year?
I assumed UK never was ranked last year
UK won like 12 in a row last year in the SEC after a rocky start, yeah, i'm pretty sure they hit it, but they fell out when they lost late in the conference season and again early in the SEC tourney. I could be mistaken, it's hard to remember shit from a year ago
they were ranked the year before, too, in tubby's last year for a while, the difference has been though that they're cracking the top 25 as opposed to being at the top of the top 25, which is not good, but UK's already much improved over what they were at the beginning of the year, they'll finish this year ranked for sure
I actually like what I am seeing from UK. I think they need another consistent scorer that can give them about 10-12 ppg. I think this should be Stevenson, but he only appears interested in scoring when Patterson is in foul trouble.
joe, patrick from hockey has joined our Basketball White Guy Hatred Group.
Luke Harongody is to the Big East what Hansborough is to the ACC. The officials protect him. My dad was going off yesterday talking about how much Harongody gets away with from pushing off to hacking players and gettting fouls called when he isn't even touched.
Anybody see Chase Budinger get stomped on by the punk from Houston. This is why you need an enforcer on every college basketball team. Had Magloire been on Arizona's team, somebody would have been clotheslined, body slammed or fore arm smashed on the next play.Long live Jamaal Magloire.
Laettner is the only one who can get away with that stuff
Yeah, fucking officials should have atleast t-d him up and probably should have kicked him out.
And more proof that Andre Woodson is the greatest QB to ever lead his team to a 3-8 season.He has his own website.http://www.andrewoodson.org/
christian laettner = satan
whoever is running woodson's website, they're an idiot, they spelled kentucky "kentuckey", and it says the New York Giants played Florida State in the Music City Bowl

George Foreman is going to get Shamwowed!!!!
So I just went into the bathroom to read a magazine (Marshall's definition not Barney's). Wes, AJ is going to be at the potty training age soon, please teach him to put up the seat to piss so he doesn't pee all over the seat and also teach him to flush. I don't think we are on any government issued flushing restriction to save money on the water bill or anything but some grown men here pee all over the seat and don't flush. This isn't a once in a while occurence.On a similar note, something interesting, I didn't take my headphones off and I was listening to the radio and has anyone ever read a magazine while listening to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger?"
It took shamwow to beat off Girls Gone Wild ... that feels familiar.
http://theshiver.com/2009/01/over-r...-is-over-hyped/great article about why the ACC is overrated, it even throws a shout out to the Big East at the end

Yeah it's my new toy.So AJ is staying with the in-laws tonight, what's going on?
hard to say, so much to choose from on a monday night before a snowstorm

I am bored so I researched and that is Marc's first post since 11/6/08 when he asked for help moving.
so the line of ice goes all the way back through Muskogee, OK and is headed this way. I don't see much clear up from now until 5 PM.
maybe our esteemed mayor jerry will tell employers to let their workers go early
Dance Fusion Closed Dreamz Dance Company Closed JoAnn Fryrear School of Dance Closed J-town Jazzercise Closed Louisville Metro Meals on Wheels Closed Louisville School of Massage Closed Waste Management Closed White Castle Distributing LLC 1st shift cancelled Z Salon Closed I am to depressed to work knowing that these places are closed.
Jerry did come through once last year and let us all leave early for ice.
i brought a bag of clothes and a towel to work. my plan is to head up to wick's for trivia, walk back and sleep on my office floor.how does this differ from many week nights? Well, I have a change of clothes for the morning.
I wish I had your dedication. All I did was hop 2 fences and hike a couple blocks.
I made the no tresspassing private property sign my bitch.
i remember when jerry did it, he let gov't employees go early or something and suggested some companies let their people go early, and what happened was everyone left at the same time and it was a big clusterfuck
they were actually supposed to stagger everyone. I was on pick people up duty downtown and it seemed like every 15 or 30 minutes someone new was getting off work. At least that's what happened last year. Hmmm, although I think I remember the cluster fuck.

Damnit, why do people want elective surgeries done in this knid of weather. They should have all just stayed home.
Tabler Co. is open baby!
I love it. I am sure management will let the girls drive home early today. I think he thinks women are scared of ice, instead of everybody should be scared of driving on ice.
All I can say is you can't stop the Shamwow, you can only hope to contain it.
I'm still tempted to pour coke on my carpet and Shamwow that spill.
i'm gonna go buy a bunch of shamwows and make a shamwow plow on the front of my car for the drive home
The real winner would be to wrap your windshield wipers in shamwows. Take that Rain-x.
So how down is the SEC in basketball this year?UT beat Marquette and Georgetown, two of the four best BE teams, and probably won't finish in the top two in the SEC East. Arkansas beat the top two big 12 teams in Oklahoma and Texas and almost certainly will not even break even in SEC play. I don't even think Arkansas has won a game yet in the SEC.
so true, while UL, the leader in the big east, needed a long buzzer beater at home to beat UK, the leader in the SEC, while it was able to dispatch the top Big East teams they've beaten much more easily
Harvard beat BC who beat UNC who beat UK so the IVY league is way better then the SEC.
And the ACC
And Rice beat Harvard and Memphis beat UT so Conference USA is the best
And based on that reasoning then better than the Big 12 and the BE because UK beat UT and beat Auburn which whipped Arkansas at home by 20.
GO RICE OWLS!!!!
i'm soooooo glad we don't have any ivy or cusa team left on the schedule
Douglas - something that is promising about Patterson returning. He is scheduled to graduate in 3 years.
Wait till you face UAB in the tourney again. Fear teh wrath of Mike Davis.
Anybody want to hop on the C-USA bandwagon with me?
C-USA doesn't fuck around, you beat them on the court they will stomp on your face. That is how they roll.
OTS at Tulsa was C-USA before being C-USA was cool.
i don't know why, but i kinda think meeks and pat pat will be returning next year, just call it a gut. i could be wrong, but i've heard pat pat talk about getting his degree a lot, since he got here, he's never been adamant about leaving early, plus i think he's been overshadowed in the press this year by meeks putting up unreal numbers. i think meeks could go the tyler hansbrough route after being a POY candidate mainly b/c pro scouts aren't gunning for him b/c of his size, he's sized more like a point guard or an undersized two guard in the nba, plus if he comes back, after hansbrough, griffin, and curry gone, he'd be all-everything next year for sure, not to mention leading a completely reloaded UK team w/ pat. i think they're either both gone or both staying, but i just kinda feel like they're staying
i actually like mike davis, i liked him at IU b/c he brought some flare to the game, he's passionate and his self-censorship doesn't work very well, and the combination of the two make for an interesting coach. he just kinda says what he says and does what he does and doesn't give a damn
i was looking at the nba draft predictions and they have Lorrenzo Wade going #47th overallhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAse...p;hs=zRs&q=%
did he ever learn to make a dunk? He never could finish. Isn't he in jail?
Douglas, I remember reading something an NBA scout wrote about Meeks and Patterson. He thought both were very good players, but felt that both needed to return for another year. According to him, Patterson needs to develop that 18-20 foot shot consistently and Meeks needs to be a great player because the SG position is the same position that the best players in the world play, so very good won't cut it. You have to be great at that position.
apparently he can dunk and block shots and everything. it's a miracle!
Ummm, who the hell is Lorenzo Wade?
played 1 season at UL then transferred. He is no chad millard.
In terms you will understand: When alex legion is drafted out of the fighting illini you will know how we feel. He is to UL what Alex Legion is to UK.
legion's playing pretty damn well this year too, fucking tubby smith
when lorenzo wade got busted for stealing a tv last year the card chronical site said "I'm sure he'll be back out there almost dunking in no time. "
Douglas - Legion hasn't done shit this year from what I have seen. He was doing better in the beginning of the year, but I have my Alex Legion Watch on since his last game he saw the floor for 1 minute. Joe if LW played a year, he did better than Legion. Legion transferred in half a semester.
i haven't paid attention since the very beginning of the year when i caught part of an illini game on TV and the announcers were talking about his hot start and him being a valuable addition, i don't know shit that's happened in the last couple months with him though
Alex Legion's stats for the 2008-2009 year.Games: 20Games Played: 10minutes: 15.1ppg: 5.5rpg: 1.9ast: 0.8TO: 1.3FG%: 32.8FT%: 503PT%: 29.4%http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/teams...tats?teamId=356I think Alex will be a solid junior and senior as long as he keeps working hard and his mother shuts up. Illinois might be a better place for the kid.
Lorenzo Wade was Pitino's puppet. Pitino fucked with him so much. Some days Wade was a golden child other days he played 1 minute.
Lorrenzo Wade's 2004 season:http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/pl...tal&chart5=yeah, not the most consistent chart in the world
Legion just needs to do what Jebus tells him to and if he fails it is in Jebus' plan.
Jebus will take him to the promise land and that is not UK
Good lord, did you see the Lorenzo Wade Game Trend? He is all over the place man.
it's a shame you can't chart "missed dunks"
Seriously, how many dunks did he miss?
He did it in style though. If Wade were at UL still Lorrezo Wade would be better then D-Wade with Pitino's mentoring and hyping.
At least 1 a game. He would take off from the free throw line and do a 360 tomahawk and clang it back to mid court. It was beautiful.
more athletic then T-Will.
He is a long and athletic 6-6 with tremedous upside potential
it's a shame no one put together a highlight real of his missed dunks. I think there was one where the ball slipped out of his hands before he took off but I think he still leaped from the free throw line and tried to tomahawk dunk his thumb.
no shame in his game
Don't hate the playa hate the game.
I think we should start our own tourney.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/...tory?id=3862566

I can't sleep. I keep hearing limbs snapping under the weight of the ice waiting for the power to go out or something to be crushed.

seriously. no one is as bothered by fat jessica simpson as i am? It really made me rethink my whole "I can deal with stupid chicks as long as she's hot" life plan.Worlds are colliding, Jerry!
ha, my buddy jen is retardedhttp://www.courier-journal.com/apps...arams=Itemnr=15
so my gameplan to sleep at work seems to be a good call. i'm without power at home and apparently the hill out of my place is impassible.and by the lack of posts I assume everyone else is without power too. of all the time for the snuggie to be backordered...
I have power just have AJ at home as well.
Phil - When I heard about fat Jessica I was thinking, okay probably still hot. Then I saw fat Jessica and have to say not hot at all. I know we all put on weight, but seriously she doesn't have anything else going for her except she was smoking hot (at one point). I am disturbed by it as well Philco.
I can't believe it, but I'm now an HD snob. And, yes, I'm upset that Jessica Simpson has a fat ass to match her fat titties ... but I'm even more upset that, along with my power being out, I'm probably gonna have to watch Lost in standard def tonight because of the U of L game running past 9:00
Hooray for chris and joanna. They have power so I walked over there with pizza rolls. St. Matthews is a disaster per the cop I talked to and what I saw walking.

Joe, I think I'd shack up with Joanna and Chris. Way to fucking cold.I spoke too soon. Lost power last night around 4:45, so we went over to the in-laws house. If worse comes to worse we can hang out at my sister in laws house since she is out of town on her honeymoon.
I think I am going to Chris' tonight assuming power is still out. This blows.
Go Cards, big 2nd half. Good thing about being at Chris', he has ESPNU so I was able to watch the replay of the UK game.
I heard that some insurance companies will cover the expense of food lost due to spoilage in power outages. Anybody have any information or experience?
depending on your policy they will. i'd think it'd be a pain in the ass to get it all the paper work and shit done to get the $10 for the hot pockets that went bad.
Chris may be getting some good food tonight then. I'm burying some of the food in the snow till I can get it somewhere.
My car has been stuck for three days. So i haven't been to work since monday. I'm awesome.
my power's out too, it was fucking cold this morning in my house, i had to sleep in my old spandex leggings i used to wear under my baseball uniform for cold games, with two extra covers. my sister works at marriott, so i might see if she can get a hook up for a hotel room unless my power's back tonight
on a related note, b/c my power was out yesterday, i went and saw paul blart: mall cop, pretty good flick, extremely stupid, so right up my alley
i was won of the last to get power last time so i'm not looking forward to this weekend.
ugh, my brain is apparently not functioning yet.
St. Matthews cops weren't enforcing open container policies too strict yesterday. I was wandering the neighborhood with a back pack full of beer yesterday. The cop I stopped and talked to yesterday I should have offered a beer to. I don't know what he thought of me reaching into my backpack and pulling out a fresh beer while I was talking to him. Probably cared as much as he did about the dogs shitting in the middle of Hycliffe Avenue while we were talking. Who wants to find abandoned houses and go looting tonight?
according to the paper the st. matthews police were operating by candle light last night. the only thing i want to loot are more comforters
Gloucester is pretty much evacuated it looked like this morning.
Joe - I have heard the cost of food might be covered by homeowners insurance. I am guessing it would have to be greater than your deductible though.
I can't believe the courier redid their site just a year ago. what a piece of a shit that thing is to navigate. and right when I don't think it can get any worse, some thing starts talking to me. Jerks.Why can't everyone come up with a timeless design ala NattySci.com?
no need to revamp this. i do hate courier's website, it moves way too fucking slow, that and espn.com are always a pain
right now I don't know what's new, what's an updated article or anything. and the local tv stations don't seem to be much better. I should create my own news website. With hookers. And blackjack.
better yet forget the black jack
Courier has some damn pop up that bugs the shit out of me.
replace blackjack with cocaine
that's like water for hookers
CJ map of downed wires.
and here is the map.http://www.courier-journal.com/arti...TRAS99/90128011
Work blocked the map.
The Southwest and St. Matthews area are hammered with downed trees and lines.
I was about to go out back and pummel my neighbor behind me's generator with a baseball bat. That thing was fucking loud. I think it is his tree too that took down the power lines too. Fucker will rue the day I find him.
What a jackass, talking about insult to injury. His tree takes out the power and then that jackass starts up his generator. Tell him to prune his fucking trees.
the courier's helpful map is worse than the louisville treated roads map.
yeah it's not doing anybody any favors for being attractive, that is for sure.
Food safety for people without power.http://www.eon-us.com/storm/food_safety.asp
It is fucking bring your kid to work day downtown. Just went to the food court and it was all these kids running around with their parents bored out of their minds.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience...bamashandednessLeft handed people are awesome
Breckinridge lane at Six Mile is closed due to flooding. There is a great picture on the CJ that shows a taxi underwater there. Nto going to post the link.
Get this, a girl I work with just found out her sister had breakfast at Cracker Barrel with Vince the Shamwow guy. He was eating alone and she asked if he cared if she sat down and ate with him and he said only if you buy my breakfast and 10 shamwows.
I would of poured his OJ in his lap, shamwow that fucker.
My power came on around 3 am last night...I pretty much went to bed at 630 pm because there wasn't anything to do and it was freezing.
Man, I dislike giving seminars.Its over with though, so its time to get hyped for AC/DC this weekend.A Cardinal victory over those cheatin' Steelers would be nice too.
ROAR!!
just headed home. still no power. made a comforter fort for my cat to stay warm in.CNBC had a good interview with Vince the Shamwow guy. He's pretty much a real cocksucker. But he knows he's a cocksucker, so he's got that going for him.http://www.cnbc.com/id/28880253?__s...ag*&par=RSS
Both Ty's and Chip's Jags had tree limbs fall on them.The XJS got crushed, broken windshield, smashed roof.Ty thinks his was saved from heavy damage because he went out and shoveled the driveway after the snow and clear off his car, but the ice came afterward and made a shell.So that's the key, make sure your car has an ice-shell.Never mind the fact that my two younger brothers have Jags and still drive a beat up Explorer.
Just got back from grabbing a quick lunch. On 4th street near UofL there are some huge ass trees down by the park. I saw a mansion that had a treet with a diameter of a couple feet laying on it.
i was talking to a girl that i went on a few dates a couple of years ago. it turns out that it was so cold that her fish tank froze up with her fish in it.she thought she should have put the fish in a jar and walked around with it like What About Bob
Wow, that is when you know it's really fucking cold.
Yep, girl I work with has 2 dead goldfish because the water was too cold and the water water wasn't running cutting off oxygen in the water. I don't know the status of my 5 goldfish. I'm worried that the pipes will freeze and flood my basement and the cat will drown.
Joe - when did you get a cat?
There is one running around the basement. It came with the goldfish and the dogs.
Hmmmmm, interesting. Did you know this was a package deal?
Joe's petting zoo
....somewhere, Douglas is envious.
i'm not into the domestic animals as much, i prefer wild creatures in their natural habitat, they're much less inhibited
I have access to four horses too. One farm I go to has goats (not fainting goats unfortunately), miniature ponies and chickens where these horses are. Maybe someone can take him there for father's day. For all we know one of those animals might be from his seed.

terry meiners just did one of those bud light hero salutes to the "Mr. In the Middle of Winter Global Warming Advocate". I found it quite funny
apparently they are talking about passing the piece of shit case legislation. they might give out vouchers for a couple grand for new cars if you give them your shitty car so they can smash it up. less environmental impact, less used cars on the market and new cars are being bought up. They might also have a tax incentive too.now i just gotta keep the ol' accord running a little longer. I did a blue book value on the SOB and it is worth $750. If I do buy a new car I'd probably just keep it as a winter beater if they don't pass this legislation.
opps, forgot the source: http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/23/aut...sion=2009012909
car fire down off sherwood (Eastern Parkway & Bardstown Rd area)http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-203334
the courier posted some better info on who doesn't have power:http://www.eon-us.com/storm/default.aspI have to question their map making skills. They are going by total number of people without power for their charts where I think % of people without power would give you a better idea of what sections are hardest hit right now: http://www.eon-us.com/storm/default.asp
Brock and Michelle- can you post your New Years pictures?
You know it is bad when you can see your breath inside.
Phil - I agree, it should be by % of people to show which areas got hammered the hardest. After looking at that map, my 40245 zip code is less than 2000 homes without power, so I'll be in that late range.
so my zip code has greater than 8000 out, awesome
and apparently there's supposed to be another huge fucking snowstorm sunday or monday now...
Hmmmm, did intern get a ring and hell finally froze over?
I think Jacksonville is fine though. I got to do math today at work! It wasn't real math but it was VA math tied in with a little real math. The problem was our number is at 151 days. One action drops the number on average .35 days and another action drops it on average .1 days. How do we get to 140 days by tomorrow.I have a really nice if then excel spreadsheet that I am not going to get credit for. Basically the task was given from the head of the office and then was passed down to a coach then to a Super VSR then to me a lowly VSR because I can do simple math and use excel. The credit is going to go back up the chain and the last person to touch it before it gets to the head of the office gets credit. I should have locked the file and made them come to me for the password to see it.
Phil - the cash for clunkers idea is an interesting one. I wonder how they qualify something as a clunker though? I wonder if it is based on age of car, condition of car or a little of both. I am also wondering if they give the same amount in a voucher or if they have a tiered voucher amount based on car MSRP or purchase price. I just have hard time believing two people would get the same voucher for a car that costs $15,000 vs. $49,500.
Did anybody see where Will Scott got into Oxford to study Chinese?
Modern Chinese Studies I believe.
dork
pretty much
Will Scott might be studying Chinese at Oxford, but Phil Scott has a PhD in Wang King Dong
so i'm slightly obsessed with infomercials, i fear. but this dub over the billy mays spots cracks my shit uphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY0t...ewZYmY&NR=1the other ones this guy did are just as good
Nice text last night Phil.
i was out with some girls and they dragged me to akikos. They wanted me to sing and I told them I could only sing walking on sunshine. I finally figured out who sang it, but the damn song wasn't even listed on the list.I'
"Katrina and the waves" is a creepy band name with the hurricane and all.
i'll have to remember that one. I think it'd be a solid trivia question.
I read that last night and I was curious where in the hell that was coming from. I figued it was a Bearno's trivia question asking who sang that song and you just knew it as Fry and his dog in "Jurassic Bark"
i made a very special new posthttp://nattysci.com/displaypost.aspx?post=128
