Are you saying that you're getting $600? I can never understand what you're talking about anymore. These one word posts are tearing us apart.

Every time I read the thread title "Fuck Apple" as I'm scrolling down the page, I think of it as being a term of endearment. Like "Who's my little fuck apple? You're my little fuck apple." I haven't actually read the topic, so I hope this hasn't already been addressed.

You know what? God damn America! I still haven't gotten that $300 package stimulator the government's supposed to be sending me. I want to go out and buy shit, man. I'm tired of being broke and sitting around and not buying shit.

If nothing else, we'd at least finally get that 0-16 season that stupid fucking Baltimore deprived us of last year.

Castro and Archuleta are the only two whose performances make me visibly angry at the moment. Of those two, it's only reasonable to think that Castro is going anywhere anytime soon, so I think he's getting the boot tonight. Brooke isn't getting any better, but she's still quite nice to look at. Her time will come next week. Syesha actually does seem to be getting better, but I don't think she stands a chance against either of the two Davids. I don't know that it matters all that much, but next week being Tiny Tim week probably favors Archuleta.

I actually saw the conservative commentator on Headline News say something to the effect of "Who will save our children's souls from the CW?" last night. This really is silly season.

Well, after the Gossip Girl "OMFG" controversy, I think we're all still a little emotionally raw. A fifteen year old girl's back is enough to send you right over that cliff again.

What was that shit? Even though I'm not high on anyone other than David Cook right now, I don't blame the contestants for having a bad week. I mean, having Andrew Lloyd Webber week and Neil Diamond week back-to-back? Come on. These contestants have nothing to work with.

Portishead- Third Richard Hell- Destiny Street Pretty Things- S.F. Sorrow Faces- A Nod is as Good as a Wink...To a Blind Horse Them- The Story of Them VA- No Thanks!: The 70s Punk Rebellion I'm considering d/ling a couple of other Rhino box sets, as well. The one on early rock and roll seems particularly interesting, as that's one area of music that I like but haven't really explored.

Maybe. He had the double whammy of being both young and left-handed, which are both a death sentence in Gruden's offense. The year he played extensively was sort of encouraging, but he looked terrible the following season prior to rupturing his spleen. Basically, he throws a nice deep ball, but has questionable decision-making skills and turns it over a lot. Chicago already has that guy. I'd pass.

Even years after they were established, I would still talk to casual sports fans in Asheville--which is about a two hour drive from Charlotte--who didn't even realize that the Bobcats existed. The team is just this weird non-entity.

Tampa is going to have to cut Chris Simms, Bruce Gradkowski, and probably Luke McCown at some point prior to the start of the season. Simms seems like a good fit in Chicago. Because he sucks.

Do my posts really make you that nervous, Dan?

Now that I've had a few days to think about it, I think the thing that bugs me about Tampa's draft (and the offseason in general) this year is that I can see how we can be as good as we were last year, but I can't see how we got any better. Even with seven QBs on the roster, we're still fucked if Garcia goes down. We've probably replaced Brian Kelly at CB, but we haven't necessarily upgraded at the position with Eugene Wilson and Aqib Talib. And WR is still a bit of a question mark with a couple of old guys, a bunch of unproven or untalented guys, a guy who's returning from a long suspension, and a guy from Appalachian State.

w/r/t an AD comeback, credit Wikipedia: Anyway, I watched Juno tonight. I didn't hate it overall, but the dialogue was as awful as advertised.

I missed the show last night due to work, so I tried to watch a few clips on YouTube and didn't make it past the first 30 seconds on any of them. No thank you, Andrew Lloyd Webber.

I'm a little late to the Times New Viking party (although not nearly as late as I was to the Feelies party), but this is pretty good. Like anything else, 90s nostalgia has started with the hipsters.

I don't know how it happened, but I've come to greatly dislike the Flaming Lips. I was copying a Kinks CD onto my computer the other day and Windows Media Player somehow read it as being Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. And I was embarrassed. I mean, what if somebody saw it, y'know?

I don't want to mention any names, y'know? If I did, I would. I know all the names. But, guys, my birthday was on the 10th of this month and nobody here so much as mentioned it. I was playing it cool the day of, you know, just checking the board every couple of hours, waiting for someone to bring it up. But nothing happened. Nothing happened. And I've been fuming ever since. I mean, I turned 25, guys! A quarter of a century. And, I mean, I even floated the idea of starting this thread just so that people would wish me a happy birthday. And I got nothing. Bunch of fucking assholes.

I d/led the Feelies album Crazy Rhythms today. This is really good. EDIT: Except for the Beatles cover.

I mean, of course I'd like to talk to Leena or Ginger, but...what if they don't like me, y'know? I don't know if I could handle that sort of rejection.

Word. I forgot all about that song. I had a dream about it one time.

I don't care for "September Gurls" at all. I mean, I like a fair number of Big Star songs, but they've just never really meant anything to me. It's entirely possible that they'll someday click for me, but it hasn't happened yet.

Well, I can say from being a fan of a team in the scrapheap division that is the NFC South that many of the rivalries that have sprung up post-realignment are fairly meaningful, just not on a national level. A Tampa-Carolina or Tampa-Atlanta game may not mean much to most fans, but is as bitter and contentious as a working-class Pennsylvanian to those with a vested interest in the outcome. So it's best not to fuck with these things now that the NFL finally has everything completely perfect.
