    What do you look like...

    Why would you hate him? Probably because Zack's an attractive guy. Well, at least I think he's attractive...hard to tell with the beer bottle sticking out of his mouth. Now now, Zach's just showing us his true talents. ... *runs away*

    The Emmy Awards

    The Simpsons episode that won was the one where Homer lived with two gay guys. It beat the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark", which besides being about one thousand times better than anything The Simpsons have done in years was the first cartoon to reduce me to tears since I became so cold and callous. That really was a great show with a great overall message, rather than just a quirky 'gay episode' which really didn't accomplish much except wasting my 30 minutes. The Futurama episode summed up for those who didn't see it: Fry reads in the newspaper that archeologists have recreated an old Pizzaria from the 20th Century. He and Bender go to see it and discover that it is in fact Panucci's Pizza, the pizzeria Fry used to work at in 1999. Fry also discovers that the fossilised remains of his old dog Seymour are on display! In 1997, Fry was the victim of a prank call, and meets a stray dog, whom he names Seymour after the prank caller, Seymour Asses. Seymour soon becomes the mascot at Panuccis. Back in 3003, Fry campaigns to get Seymour back and eventually does, and Farnsworth says he can use the cloning machine to bring Seymour back to life. Bender gets jealous though and throws Seymour into molten lava. Fry is furious and Bender realises what he has done and how much this meant to Fry. Bender jumps into the lava to save the dog. On December 31st 1999, Fry is about to leave to deliver the pizza to "I C Weiner" and Seymour doesn't want him to go. Fry promises he'll be back soon. Next day Fry isn't back and Seymour starts looking for him, finding him at the Cryogenics lab. Unfortunately neither the staff nor Fry's parents see Fry in the tube and Seymour is taken home by Mr and Mrs Fry. Back in 3003, Bender saves Seymour and Farnsworth starts the cloning process. Fry finds out the dog was 15 when he died and realises Seymour lived a long life after Fry was frozen. Fry thinks Seymour forgot about him a long time ago and stops the cloning. However we see that Seymour waited outside Panucci's Pizza for Fry to come back for the rest of his life.

    Team of the future

    If they don't sign Gaborik, and keep up with this 'Alexandre Daigle' experiment, they won't be doing much of anything.

    Giants v. Dodgers

    Dear God. I know that I've hated on Yankee fans for a while, but I've never thought about actually shooting one of them....except Anglesault. But really, who hasn't? Anyway, this is kind of shocking to me.

    How should the NHL address its myriad of problems?

    That's part of their problem. Part of it is signing these European players who just come over here for the money, who have no desire to stay here as a valued member of a club (glares at Marian Gaborik). If they see that they are not going to get the money that they want, they threaten to play in the Elite Leagues, which offers them the chance to stay at home with their family (Gaborik is engaged, so he stays home with his fiance, plays hockey with fellow countrymen, and gets paid. He doesn't have to deal with the craziness of the media over here, and the rabid hockey fans aren't going to Trencin, Slovakia to heckle him). Maybe some kind of deal can be reached with the Elite Leagues that if a player plays in the NHL for any team, he has to wait a year before going to play over there or something. That way, players will think about it before accepting a contract. I mean, FFS, he had an incentive laden contract that earned him close to 10 million over 3 years, but Doug Risebrough "wants a good team, not a good player." Another problem, and I said this in the thread we did right after the playoffs, is the marketing (or lack thereof) that they do for a lot of their players. For instance, ESPN and ABC routinely feature games with Colorado, Detroit, Dallas and St. Louis, most often against another big market team...and the ratings aren't really there. What the NHL is doing, and needs to stop, is they are marketing the older players over the young future stars. Last year, for example, they routinely featured Patrick Roy on ESPN telecasts, when it was known that he was probably going to retire. I have no problem with that, but it falls under the category of "If you're leaving, put someone over". What would have been the problem with airing, say, Colorado v. Tampa or Colorado v. Atlanta(!)? They have a major problem with marketing the smaller teams. They finally jumped on the Minnesota Wild bandwagon with only a few weeks left in the season. It's things like that that can jump up and bite them on the ass, because it asks the question "Why weren't you covering them before? Now you look stupid." They have the stars that are needed to jump start the league. Part of the problem is that money is being thrown around too much by teams that have it, that the teams that don't have the money, can't afford their star players. For instance, Jaromir Jagr gets 11 million dollars. Paul Kariya made 10 million in Anaheim. This sets a bar that players that have ONE good year (glares at Marty Turco) think that they have jumped over, and demand a certain amount of money, or the team will not get their services. Holdouts REALLY piss me off, especially when a player says that he feels 'insulted' by the teams offer of 3 years, 9 million or something like that. Gosh, I wish that I could be insulted to be paid 3 million dollars to play a fucking game. Players that holdout should be punished by being forced to sit out for any amount of time, without pay. The thing that sucks is that I know there is going to be a work stoppage. And with that work stoppage, the NHL is going to lose some of its best players; Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, Jeremy Roenick, BRETT HULL, Steve Yzerman, and many others, will walk. It's too bad that both sides are to blame for this, and we fans, who support them by tuning in, buying 80 dollar hockey sweaters, and going to games whenever we can afford to, get fucked by this. Fuck Gary Bettman.

    NHL Free Agency 2003

    http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=54...298&hubName=nhl The Stars signed Turco to a 3 year 12 million dollar contract. He'll make 3.5 this year, 4 million next year and 4.5 in 2005-06. I'm still not sold on Marty Turco being worth this amount of money.

    Get hosting, and scan a picture onto your computer, get a digital camera, or buy one of those disposable Kodak cameras that are out now, that transfer all of your pictures onto a CD for you.
