Is Al Leiter older than any of the countries in this?

Okay he's in on it, he's cool

¿Cyber-Space?

So I think it's on tonight

I thought he was from Uniondale or something

By the way, an Artist I Don't Get would have to be The Strokes/Vines/Hives/White Stripes

Phish can improvise, I was referring to the less talented jam bands. Whatever, for my spontaneous composition needs, I listen to jazz. It doesn't conjure up mud pits and patchouli oil as much as a Phish bootleg might

I'd wager not, but since it's not a traditional home game, who knows?

I've got Matt on the mind

Dama, how do you feel about the Hornets, since they're improving, and you're probably going to be stuck with them in the long run?

My apathy for college football is well-documented, in part because of these bullshit scenarios. It's just one game, one game between Texas and Southern California. I don't see the need to start wringing my hands over all this extrapolation crap. "Well if Texas loses to USC, and Texas beat Oklahoma, and Oklahoma beat Nebraska, and Nebraska beat so and so, and so and so beat what's it called, and what's it called beat Kevin Bacon, and-- GOOD LORD SHUT UP ALREADY I don't think Texas losing to the greatest team in years reflects poorly on Oklahoma. I think finishing 7-4 reflects poorly on Oklahoma.

Maria says "fuck you"+. Gladly. That doesn't make any sense. (hypothetically) Maria told Leena, fuck you, Leena would take it as "I want to fuck you" to which she's saying "gladly"... But, that is not what someone means when they say "Fuck you". I stand by my previous statement. I do not see how someone could take it as meaning "I want to fuck you". Okay, listen up, you lunchboxes. If she said "fuck you," that's a command, in which the subject is an implied 'you.' Tack that to the beginning and it's "you fuck you," which means that it's a reflexive verb, and should be changed to "fuck yourself." So Maria told Leena to go perform an anatomically impossible act, and Leena obliged. That's icky. Class dismissed.

There's nothing wrong with improvisation, but you gotta have the chops for it.

How do you hate the Spurs? I can't. I don't like them, really, but it's not like they're the Lakers, or some other really annoying team.

Weak.

The Panthers, Jaguars, and Broncos all have really good records, but shit, who CARES

Just give me control of the main page for my birthday (this Saturday!) I won't disappoint.

What if I said "I expect them to uninterestingly noodle over the same two chords at about 110 bpm for like 45 fucking minutes"? I bet they wouldn't catch me off guard then! I hate jam bands, and I hate the concept of jamming. Back in my days of high school jazz combo, there was nothing worse than when we'd kill time with Mercy, Mercy, Mercy or Chameleon for like 25 minutes. Sapped the enthusiasm right out of me. At least we were all good at improvising; people whose idea of a solo is to just blaze up and down a chromatic scale are annoying. I tried to be expressive in my trumpet solos during performances, and only did the frenetic notes-for-the-sake-of-notes in rehearsals now and then to prove I knew how.

Nobody's making movies about Creighton, so that's hard work for people who deem it necessary to tie their denomination of Christianity in with college football.

Mahna mahna. doo dooooo doo doo doo. Mahna mahna! doo doo doo doo! Mahna mahna. doo dooooo doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo dooooooo do! Ma na na do da doo da da da, a da da da doo da dah, do...dah....da da.... MAHNA MAHNA

Catholics who follow Notre Dame football because it's "their" school are lame. No it's not. There are hundreds of Catholic institutions in the country. Nice of you to pick the famous one with all the championships, though!

Why is the Peach Bowl worth 25 points? Shouldn't the Fiesta Bowl be up there?

Pit fighting!

Bears-Colts better happen. Best defense and best offense. And with the game in Detroit, it's a very Midwestern Super Bowl. It better happen. Screw the Jaguars, Bengals, Seahawks, Broncos, and NFC South.
