Curtis at least appears to have some ability to work on his own and lead others. Chase was a strong field agent, but wasn't a very strong character. The most boring and generic character ever was a three way tie between the Warner family in season two.

They look like the uniforms that would be in the Bases Loaded series, provided Jaleco was still making the games. What makes it even worse is that they made road and home hats for most (if not all) teams in a vain attempt to suck 35 bucks out of people twice. I was looking at the US hats but they are subpar in both colors. The Mexico and Panama hats look like something you see at a truck stop for $5.99.

Upon hearing that he made the team, Ken Griffey Jnr. tore his hamstring.

I'm thinking that Jack disobeying orders will give us what we wanted from the beginning of the season; Jack has to be on the run while trying to track down the canisters. On the teaser we see

Standard stuff. I liked Jack at the mall. Seeing his character actually have a conscience while on the job was something that they haven't done before this season. His only weakness right now seems to be children. Next week:

There's a special place in hell for the people who created Thunder, Nitro and Backstage Assault.

grilled cheese and pineapple sandwiches.

I think Savard's overrated. Playing with Hossa and Kovalchuk is the reason why he's so high in scoring. Sadly, he's going to get a ridiculous contract in the offseason that will overpay him by at least twice of what he's actually worth.

The guidelines from NHL.com are: Miller played in 15 games in the 2002-03 season and three games in the last NHL season. Miller's birthday is 7-17-80, making him currently 25.

CG, what's with your Marc Savard obsession? Vezina winner: Fernandez over Lundquist and Hasek Norris winner: Chara over Vishnovski and Redden Ross winner: Alfredsson over Jagr and Kovalchuk Richard winner: Kovalchuk over Alfredsson and Jagr Jack Adams: Renney over Trotz and Sutter Calder: Ovechkin over Lundquist and Phaneuf Hart winner: Jagr over Kovalchuk and Alfredsson (Regular season standings) NW Champ: Calgary Central Champ: Detroit Pacific Champ: LA NE Champ: Ottawa Atlantic Champ: New York Rangers SE Champ: Carolina Biggest surprise good: The Cup goes back to Canada in an all Canadian final (Ottawa v. Calgary) Biggest surprise bad/disappointment: The gambling ring Bronze Medal in Men: Finland Silver: Czech Republic Gold: Canada Western Final: Calgary over Detroit Eastern Final: Ottawa over Carolina Cup Final: Ottawa over Calgary Who will have the biggest turnaround next year? Roberto Luongo (he's not been terrible, but I think next year the Roy comparisons start coming back) Who will have the biggest disappointment/dropoff next year? Naslund

I enjoyed the Hogan Knows Best mini-marathon. It was funnier than I anticipated.

Trade you Alex Gonzalez for Alex Gonzalez.

Still have to do mine. It depends on how much I get back to see what I'll spend it on. I'll probably do something wild and crazy like...PUT IT IN THE BANK or something.

I think it was Cummings, although it's odd that they dropped it that fast. They'll probably go back to it midseason.

Eric just saved a bunch of money on his car insurance by switching to Geico. Hey it's so easy that even a caveman can do it...that means Lindros might be able to figure it out somehow.

Good calm before the storm episode tonight. Mostly plot filler, but solid filler. Big letdown with the Ukrainian girl being the one behind the bed and then killing whatshisname in the end.

Boomboxes suck, you're better off getting the home kit, since it has the fm transmitter built into the radio. That way, you can make any radio in your house a satellite radio. From what I've read, it's 50/50 getting any kind of adequate signal with a boombox, as opposed to a home kit. Plus the home kit's cheaper.

starvenger, don't forget Jack cutting into the dead Jonathan Wallace's stomach to recover the microchip and executing Kingsley's man after drugging him so much that he'd be dead within ten minutes. Also Kim calling Jack when Gary tried to attack her, which led to this exchange: Jack: Shoot him Kim: (gunshot is heard) Jack: Kim! Kim! Are you alright? Kim: (sobbing) yes...I shot him, dad. I did it. Jack: (after a beat)...shoot him again

I'll send a mail bomb to whomever is responsible if the Bruins main logo is Saddington Bear.

Ignore JasonX, he likes going off on tirades on things that he's not really "in the know" on. Kari's hot, but it's not like they parade her out there in a bikini top and short shorts. She dresses normally, is smart and has a chemistry with her two partners on the build team. Plus, having the build team gives them the opportunity to have two things going on at the same time with a different take on it than Adam and Jamie. I have the first season on DVD and while it's entertaining, you almost get tired of Adam and Jamie after a while. I enjoy both of them as they are smart and entertaining, but sometimes their myths are just kind of...well...boring. The steel toe myth felt like torture, as it was dragged on way too long. The build team had the more entertaining myth that episode (the water bottle jetpack).

vh1 did a clip show last week about cops, including the officers commenting on their appearances on the show. It was actually kind of entertaining, especially for the one that went down like this: Woman hails the police down, claiming she got ripped off by her neighbor. She gave the neighbor $20 and the neighbor kept it. The cop asked her what she gave the neighbor the $20 for and the woman goes "for crack". The cop is completely flustered and asks her again, to which she repeats that she gave the woman money to buy some crack. The cop goes over and talks to the neighbor, who of course has no idea what the woman was talking about. The cop arrests the first woman (I think). Then they cut back to the cop in the present day, sitting in the vh1 studio, and he tells us that two days later, they invaded the neighbor's house and it was a crack house and meth lab.

Or because they're physically and mentally hindered. Or have a fixed income. Complaining about any age group before you reach that age is ridiculous. Little pissants will be bitching about you to their friends in 50 years and you won't appreciate it very much. Do you get pissed if people who look poor tip less also? If you can't afford to tip at least 15% you shouldn't be eating out. Period. I work at a sports bar, it's not like it's fine dining, it's a sports bar similar to Applebee's. And about honing my style human hands can only handle so much and we are not supposed to bring the bus tub to the table. I hate mandatory tipping. I see you getting frustrated at the cheapskates who demand the world and don't show their appreciation. At the same time, as I'm the customer I should determine what my gratuity is depending on your service. If the service meets my standards, I tip. If they exceed my standards, I tip well. If your service sucks, no tip. You do know that base pay for servers is like $3/ hr. I hate this excuse. I had practically the same job that you have, making $2.85 base pay. I wasn't making enough in tips either. So I fucking quit. Be a big boy about this. Tired of working your ass off for a dollar tip? Get another fucking job.

Ottawa got housed, Thomas looked very good at times. Brad Boyes has been playing well as of late as well. The Sturm-Bergeron-Boyes line was excellent tonight.

Short, black hair...
