It's not working. I put in my credit card info, authorize it, and it just takes me back to the screen telling me that I need to create a seller's account. They told me it was my cookies, but it wasn't. How do I do this?

Last week, my uncle and I made a trip to New York. I mostly just wanted to go to Yankee Stadium before it closed and figured it would be easier to go this year. With next year being the last year before their new stadium opens there would probably be more of a rush for tickets, I figured. My uncle is trying to visit as many Major League ballparks as possible (I think he's up in the 20s now) and this would probably be his only chance to go to the Bronx before they tore the old stadium down. The drive down wasn't too painful, although, Pennsylvania is really horrible with their 'roadwork'. Huge chunks of the interstate had lanes blocked off with no one seemingly doing any work on them. I-81 on the way back was especially bad, we probably had a 45 minute delay at one point and there wasn't a whole lot of work going on. Yankee Stadium was about what I expected. Our seats were alright, the 2nd deck is covered by the upper deck and there was a bit of rain during batting practice, so we kept dry, but it had stopped by game time. The atmosphere during the late innings, when the Yankees came back to eventually win, was great, but I could have lived without that. The Jays left so many men on base, the game really shouldn't have been close at that point. Mariano Rivera coming out of the bullpen is pretty fun and I got to see Roger Clemens pitch. Over-all, it was a great experience, even if the outcome of the game was disappointing. I took the NBC Studio tour at Rockefeller Center, but I wouldn't recommend it. You're not allowed to take pictures, although the only place I would have liked to was studio 8H where they film Saturday Night Live. That was the highlight of the tour, as seeing some guy sit in a control room wasn't worth the $18.50. The Today Show studio seems weird with all the lights off and blankets covering all the chairs and tables and most of the set. And Ann Curry's desk is made of scratched up wood. The NBC store is nice if you are a fan of any of their shows. There is so much crap there, so of course, I bought a ton. $4 for a stress ball just because it says 'Dunder Mifflin' on it, I fell right into their trap. We took a trip down to Coney Island to see Keyspan Park and the Brooklyn Cyclones play. We walked around the boardwalk a bit before the game and got a hotdog at Nathan's. The ballpark itselfballpark itself is really nice and was pretty full, even though the weather wasn't great (it rained a bit early on, but was fine after the 2nd or 3rd inning). I could do without a lot of the usual minor league stuff (stupid contests or whatever between innings, but I understand why they do that). Air Supply was having a free concert in the park just down the street for the ballpark, and my uncle, being in his mid-fifties, decided we had to go. Thankfully, it was almost over when we got there, but I could have lived without going at all. So, a good time all-in-all, I'd definitely recommend checking out Keyspan Park, but maybe try getting tickets online, if possible, as the people working the ticket window were quite awful. Yankee Stadium is nice from a history perspective and to say you've been there, but I'm sure there are a lot nicer ballparks out there.

One where the ring kept breaking. They were trying out a 6-sided ring and had just finished it the night before and hadn't had time to have a welder work on it (or so they said). In the first or second match, it just kind of tented up in the middle and they couldn't fix it. They were jamming tables, desks, podiums, ladders, anything they could find under there, trying to stablize the thing and it wasn't working. It was great, during promos, when you heard people yelling out from under the ring.

I haven't had cereal in years.

Sid just got added. And apparently, he's wrestling.

We just had WGNHD added, but the programming is sometimes different than the SD channel. Maybe it's the local Chicago feed as opposed to the superstation one.

There's one in Kingston that looks like it's about to close down every time we visit it. Yeah, you're right, I think I've seen that one, too. Whenever I go to Kingston I'm hardly ever in that area, though, so it's probably why I forgot it.

Wouldn't you like to be the President who died getting something stuck up his ass?

I'm quite the retard. I spent $4 on a stress ball just because it said 'Dunder Mifflin' on it.

Almost every thread turns into pointless bitching between Venkman/WWM and Andrew. Just stop it. I apologize for how late this reply is!

That's the best part of the movie, though.

30 Rock really isn't that good outside of Alec Baldwin. Earl is much better, and Ethan Suplee really should be nominated for being the best part of the show.

I thought it might have something to do with that, based on the logo. That game made me feel a little old, though, I think there was only one player on either team older than me, and that was only by a few months. The Crosscutters shortstop was only 17 and looked about 12.

Yankee Stadium was alright. The game was kind of garbage, but when A-Rod hit that double, I think it was the first time I've felt a stadium shake, but I could have lived without that. I also went to Keyspan Park to see a Cyclones game. The was really nice, even if all the minor league stuff is a little annoying, but I understand why they do it. They played the Phillies affiliate there, what the fuck is a Crosscutter?

House of Payne, then?

Yeah, I mostly just want TBS for the baseball playoffs. I'm sure Sportsnet in Canada will have most of the games, anyway, but if there's a conflict, I'd like to be able to see the game I want in HD. The Bill Engvall Show in HD will be great, too, I'm sure.

A&E is useless. CSI: Miami and pretty much nothing else. I'm hoping CNN and TBS get added here when they're available.

I think there are 2 Arby's in Peterborough, but I'm not sure if I've seen one anywhere else. Maybe in Toronto somewhere. We don't have a Taco Bell anymore, they moved a few years ago and it was converted into another Tim Horton's. I hadn't gone there in years, though, so it didn't really bother me.

Accardo's been really good this year, most teams would love to have a closer with an ERA around 2.70. The balk sucks, but that shit happens sometimes. Oh, and no rain tomorrow, plz.

Guys, cut that shit out.

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone pitch so bad and still win.

Yeah, White Rock is pretty nice. And I think you can take the bus from Vancouver there.

Go up to Whistler.

I'm not one to normally protest trades, but I don't think you can let that one go through.
