I'm disapointed in the lack of a mention in the subtitle of the thread. For the record, on Wednesday night if you see someone in an orange brimmed hat in RF bleachers/2nd row..it'll probably be me.

Pommes Frites FTW!

It was originally just 3 guys (Brad/Matt/Todd). Off the artist confidential I learned the name doesn't mean anything anyway.

Im ineligible for hair resoration transplants since I dont have any to transplant and even if I did get a transplant, my medical condition (Alopecia) would kill off the newly transplanted hair anyway since its effectively my immune system attacking my hair follicles. Ive been hairless going on 8 years. I pretty much wear an Orioles hat anytime I leave the house (so much so that I now have a ring around my head from it) and it doesnt really bother me much.

Im looking forward to Madword..the visual style looks awesome.

Sierra Mist Undercover = bleh

I cant wait for the new CD out this tuesday..Ive heard a lot of good things about it. XM played their Artist Confidential 2 weeks ago and I enjoyed the 2 or 3 songs that they played off of it. I wasnt too happy with their last CD "Seventeen Days".

They already divorced back in season 4. Loretta has been off the show for years. I forgot that was the end of the Cleveland/Loretta Quagmire Episode..so yeah. Also, the biggest news Ive seen is that Fox is cutting its commercials down for its 2 new high profile shows (Fringe and Dollhouse) to about 5 minutes of national commercials which would boost the actual show length from 42 minutes (out of 60) to about 47 or so. Also the other good news I saw was that 24 has its whole season storyline arc written out which in previous seasons they never had time to do in advance. I didnt see anything on the prequel to Day 7 but Id bet money it airs late in November for sweeps even though 24 doesnt start back up til the middle of January. That and they can probably turn it around as a DVD release in December to sub in for the usual season release that we dont get this year (Im still trying to figure out why they didnt wait on the Day 1: SE release and put it out in December instead of this tuesday but Im not going to argue since I'll get it for my birthday this way)

After that disaster I dont think Nintendo wants to allow its own games to be made into movies or we'd have obviously seen a real Zelda movie by now.

Im glad they are improving the video, and I hope they put Smackdown up a day after it airs on MNTV so that I can watch it.

Sherill has now saved 16 of the Orioles 22 wins after the Os victory tonight over the Nationals. Also it was wierd having a hybrid Nationals/Orioles Announcing team for the whole game, bleh. Don Sutton and Jim Palmer though bring the over 500 combined career wins to the booth..

I take it Cleveland and Loretta have to get a divorce on Family Guy? and Prison Break moving to 9pm sucks but I'll deal with it.

Blame the woman Im going by myself though, and I already said I hate Hinder. Basically its $60 to see 3 Doors Down relatively up close since the DE State Fair concerts dont have that much seating or spend less and end up driving further away to sit further away.

I dont know if its live or not (?) but Saturday MASN is showing a Norfolk/Lehigh Valley AAA game at 2pm. I know Norfolk lost to them the other night..ha

The digital camera is a Kodak M753. Rite Aid stopped selling Kodak digital cameras recently and 2 weeks ago they had all their Kodak digital cameras on clearance. The M753 retailed at RA for $149 but was marked down to $49 and it has a lithium ion rechargable battery 2.5 inch lcd and 3x optical zoom. Mother's day week (the week after I got mine) just about everyone had the M8XX model (8 mp) version "on sale" for $149. I got a real steal on the camera, its much better than my previous camera (an HP Photosmart 3mp) And its 3 Doors Down/Staind/Hinder + fireworks + state fair food (for extra $ of course). Plus I'll probably blow $50 at the slots after the show like I did last year with my GF when we went to see Sugarland (she wanted to see em, not me) Oh, and yes, I still have a GF. She's going with me to the Os game. Its free hat night so she'll have a Yankees hat on at least and will be saved (maybe) the insults of the bleacher creatures on the visiting team fan (me with my bright orange bill Os cap on). My new camera takes decent youtube quality video with sound so I'll probably record their insults. Its gonna be fun..

The way I read the 4.4 million barrels per day was that was what it was set to to keep from draining it down to fast. I cant find the site that I Saw that on (not the WSJ article). Also, Im pretty sure if they had to, they could get more out of each site if they wanted to.

So you are just going by what Glenn Beck said? They cannot extract more than 4.4 million barrels per day at this point. Consequently, you have to use that number instead of what is consumed per day. I don't care if we start consuming 700 million barrels per day, you can only get 4.4 million out. Tell Glenn that I don't have an expertise in anything either, so I might try to take his job. Technically there is a little more than a months worth of oil at current consumption rates. And I wonder what is more likely to happen if we did get cut off from oil and had to rely on the SPR: Severe rationing (1/5 less available which means long lines and increased through the roof prices) or a last second government rule that says they can pull out 20 million a day if need be. Something tells me option 1 with its likely riots in the streets and a pretty much complete shutdown of the economy would force their hand to option 2. I cant even find a graph that charts the last time the US was only consuming 4.4 million barrels a day. In 1973 it was at 15 million...so were talking setting back things at least 50-75 years (or more).

the SPR supposedly has 701 million barrels of oil in it right now. The maximum amount that can be pulled from the SPR per day is 4.4 million barrels. Problem with that is that the US uses on average about 20 million a day. So even if the SPR was full (which its not since they only add 70,000 barrels per day and have been doing so since 2002) it would technicaly have almost enough for 160 days..BUT that would mean some pretty severe rationing to get from using 20 million barrels a day to just 4.4 million in the event of a total disruption of oil. Theres about 35 days worth of oil in the SPR at the current rate of use..which I guess is what Glenn was refering to when he said there was only about a months worth of oil in the SPR even though it would take 5 months to pull it all out of the SPR per government rules. Also, as far as I know, the deal yesterday only deals with them not sending the 70,000 barrels a day to the SPR, not selling off what they have now to lower prices which means this wont have any effect at all on gas prices until they start selling down what they have, which is where the problem will be. Honestly Im more pissed off at them not opening ANWR up since yesterday was probably the last chance they had to do so with Polar Bears going on the threatened Species list ( a step down from Endangered) which will effectively kill any measure to drill for oil there (or anywhere near where a Polar Bear might call home) until they get taken off, which wont happen any time soon as long as the Environazis have their way with things. And yes, I just called them Environazis. WSJ article for source

In honor of the Os sweeping the Sox, I present to you.. ORIOLES MAGIC 2008! that is awesome

I got mine via direct deposit 2 weeks ago and spent all of it on Glenn Beck ticket ($100), Hershey Park Ticket ($50) NYC Hotel ($210), New 7 mp camera ($50), oil change ($15), Chocolate Pearl necklace set for GF ($40), 3 Doors Down Tickets ($60) and I blew the rest at Harrington's slots

yay for the Mitch Hedberg reference

If Kane gets pinned, I guarantee they'll tease Punk cashing in right there but he wont. Punk isn't going to be turned heel as hes probably a top 5 face right now.

I think its absolutely absurd that the government would vote in almost complete secrecy to stop filling the Strategic Patroleum reserves as a measure to alleviate gas price pressures while at the SAME TIME voting down AGAIN to open up ANWR. Short term solutions = disaster in the long term, the strategic reserve only holds enough to last 30 days and isn't even full yet, so what happens if we have a huge disaster and it disrupts things for longer than 2 or 3 weeks?

Well Im added depth at SS! Yay, maybe the next Troy Polamalu!
