The Czech Republic

I thought HBC was just a kid from Jersey who wanted to have fun.

$100 for putting ketchup on a hot dog in Illinois

I wonder if she'll follow it with "Edge has been fined $250 for leaving the show early"

Ralph Nader and Doug Flutie are Arab Americans, by the way.

Sarah McLachlan

And the Christmas Creature for the hell of it.

Raw is in Peoria tonight? Whoa. That's the home of the IHSA boys' basketball state championships...and not much else. Good to know WWE's hittin' the big cities for Raw. Maybe SmackDown will be in Decatur and Isaac Yankem can make a cameo.

Damn you WWE! I wanted the week off and now I have to watch Raw.

Let's not tell buffybeast.

I didn't even know Rusch was a free agent this winter. I hope 2004 wasn't an aberration and he'll suck in 05.

The armor is an unfair advantage to Bonds and it does have a big effect on his OBP beyond protecting him from "psycho pitchers."

Hmm. Since Hawkins was a disaster and Borowski may not be back to 100% again, I'd say we might as well give Dempster the old college try. I wouldn't suggest Remlinger getting the job. I don't think Mercker and Farnsworth should even be employed after the shit they pulled. The only other possibilities from the existing staff are Glendon Rusch for the 8th and 9th (but if he re-signs he'll probably be the #5), or Jon Leicester, who was impressive in some relief appearances.

As soon as I got it I thought the ghost cow joke was funny.

I'd rather have Nomar than Ordonez. I think Ordonez is even MORE of an injury liability than Nomar, if you can believe that. Todd Hollandsworth could fill in at right, I guess. If we have Patterson, Walker, Beltran, Garciaparra, Lee, Ramirez, and Barrett, what's one less bat?

How could Paul Bako not crack the top 10?!? Udmurt Korka-murt how? EDIT: for reasons completely unbeknowst to me, I hit a key somewhere, probably paste, that put in the phrase "udmurt korka-murt." I was looking something up about Finno-Ugric mythology for somebody and that was the name of a house spirit that would tidy up the place when you were gone. Anyway, I somehow inserted it in the midst of my rage about Paul Bako not making the Top 10, and I'm just gonna leave Udmurt Korka-murt in there.

Okay you were right, I checked SNPP. North not East.

If Baker AND Sosa go, the sky's the limit!

I thouight it went like this: "I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and East Haverbrook!" "Is there a chance the track could bend?" "I call the big one Bitey." "I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and East Haverbrook!" "Is there a chance the track could bend?" "I call the big one Bitey." or something

I love how he throws back to back interceptions. well, he's starting for the Chicago Bears. What else would you expect from him? back to back to BACK interceptions and a sprained ankle

If you have two rings, you can sell more front row seats. Go for it! I don't want to see that stupid Elimination Chamber, or a "War Games style" match, they should just make it a War Games match, plain and simple. And more actual Survivor Series matches. The gradual shift from SurSer matches to some general concept of "surviving this physically intense match" is kind of weak. I probably won't bother watching this PPV unless they go heavy on gimmick.

Was I this bad?

Equally lame and very pretentious. It's State Street. Who gives a shit?

I love how he throws back to back interceptions.

I wish he ended it with "I'm Osama bin Laden, and I approve this message."

I have a soft spot for the Japanese commercial in the Mr. Sparkle episode.
