Yeah, at a recent Sci-Fi con in Dallas some guy dropped $300 for around autographs from Anthony Daniels. While I'm sure he was also a fan I'm also just as sure that a lot of those autographs went on eBay that week. And while I love getting photos with celebs, I also like getting autographs. More often than not I get them personalized, be it glossy photos, posters or whatever. Speaking of autographs, I'm going to the SmackDown! taping tomorrow (Houston Toyota Center). Any suggestions as to how I go about getting autographs/photos there?

Agreed. Hey, if Puff Daddy and Jay-Z can have their own lines, then why not Lopez? Let the public decide which $50 thongs they want to buy...

That's all well and good, but I'm not such a diehard gamer that I must have every system that comes out. I've got a GBA and PS2 and that's enough for me. Besides which, I've got a ring to pay for and a wedding to save up for...

Cripes, that's more than the going rate for William Shatner's autograph ($70-90, and you don't actually get to meet him, or get your item personalized). Anyways, given the athletes involved, I guess this was in Michigan? I'm sure that the prices would go down in other areas. Question: Did you have to buy (prepay for) an "autograph ticket" or was it cash at the table? I ask because a prepay generally means that the trade center paid a guaranteed amount to Barry and is trying to recoup their investment. Cash at the table... well, duh.

Should be good. One of the best parts about watching Matrix Revolutions, to be honest.

They actually have a pretty good vanilla cola. Still, this Willy Wonka-ish idea is just a wee bit crazy...

Well, they do have CD players that can be wall mounted and such. However, I did have my PS2 vertical, and it did work a bit longer once I turned it on its side. Anyways, given the age of my PS2 (again, about 1-1/2 years), I doubt that the warranty is still valid. Any ideas if this will cost me anything besides shipping? Oh, and thanks for the advice. It's much appreciated.

Especially when they were showing it on TV and you go "oh yeah, Phoenix has that Vick-type guy". D.H. probably had the happiest ending of all the principals, being that he knew he'd be back next year, and all his shit happened the show previous. Couple of obscure actor sightings: Patrick McKenna (Red Green's nephew) was the financial advisor. The smoking Thea Andrews was back, and the "negotiator" was one of the thugs early on in 24 last year...

The last thing Gail Kim needs is to look more like Kobe Tai. I can't imagine Trish ever being very flat. Greek women do tend to have tits and asses, so there must've been something there to start with...

You're being generous, aren't you?

It's almost not right, y'know? Nowadays we just EXPECT Bengals and Cardinals management to be inept (though Cincinnati definitely deserves better)...

From what I read the Cardinals auditioned Rackers AND Jeff Chandler. Either way, they're not improving themselves until Grammatica recovers.

Slight overeaction don't you think? Yeah, bit of a hypochondriac methinks. I can see the vomiting, but depression and anxiety?

They should rename them Stan Mikita Donuts in Illinois... ...and if you don't get that, well, you're making me feel all of my near-30 years...

I read on kffl.com that Jax claimed him off of waivers, and they're pretty to-the-minute with these things... (edit)Just checked, and here's the official press release from NFL.com. Looks like the underachieving JJ Stokes is again jobless... But really, what does it matter, when the Arizona (Danger: May contain football-like substance) Cardinals cut (the other) Tim Duncan and sign Neil Rackers?

Off the top of my head, you could go with Batman/DC heroes...

Your line will still read something like: Ravenbomb. Bisexual. Posts on the SmartMarks. Linked to Colin Farrell (because he'll sleep with men, women, real dolls, VCRs and anything else with a hole in it), Hillary Duff and Rachel Perry. (just kidding, of course. Mine would probably read much worse) And is anyone really surprised that some celebs just aren't all that smart?

Actually, if he's on the verge of bankruptcy like they say, I'd say that yes, we do. Point is taken, though. However, there's nothing wrong with hitting the pricey places every once in a while, especially if you're trying to impress someone, or you want to propose, etc. Assuming that you're working and not still in school, of course - in which case be as frugal as you wanna... On the ownership front, McDonald's owns (or owned) Boston Market, Chipotle and Pret a Manger. In Canada, Wendy's owns Tim Hortons, Timothy's owns Mmmuffins and Cara Foods owns Swiss Chalet, Harvey's and (I think) Second Cup.

I think that this pretty much sealed the deal for Doc. Not that Loaiza wasn't deserving, but Halladay was just a wee bit better...

Ye gods, those were ugly. Hey guys, you're making some money, try going for style along with comfort. Travelling in velour only works for the Torrie Wilson's of the world...

What, this wasn't obvious?

The book length is working for me. Since it's a prestige format, it's actually more like 6-8 issues rather than 4. 4 gives you less "to be continued"s to work in. As for the politics... Busiek is working things in quite nicely, I think. I think everyone would have liked to have seen Cap and Batman go at it, but the teamup is much more logical for the two. Supes, boring as I find him, is DC's franchise player. It's a given that he'll figure heavily into the finale, and you can see Busiek building towards it as well. Shame, really, but I suppose with the threat level you can't expect Plastic Man to save the world (although I wouldn't miss him if he, you know, dies and never comes back)...

On the other hand, I'm considering getting a Houston Texans Kailee Wong jersey just so I can have a jersey with my name on it...
