Nope. Apparently things didn't work out well, though I haven't heard the details on what went wrong. I was told that there was too much pressure and now the new guy is totally put off by her now.

I'm guessing that if queried, he'd say it wasn't worth it.

ETA: I guess I could query at his birthday party* this weekend.

*Question: Birthday party is thrown by his best friend. Does party count as "present" in violation of Rule 6?

You have a very full box.

Reason #1 that RP should come visit me: The Nip/Tuck trailers are two stories below my office window, and I see those guys just about every day. Oh, and the guy who plays the teenage kid, John Hensley, he dated my step-sister for a year while he was on "Witchblade," (filmed in Toronto). So we've chatted in his trailer. I couldn't get him to buy any tickets from me though.

Humina humina indeed. I am planning a visit to Santa Monia sometime in January or February, and I know Onkle und Tante will be happy to babysit the little darling-to-be.

That kid's a little odd-looking. He reminds me of Michael Jackson.

From the Sports Guy. First, the bad news:

"One longshot pick to potentially fall apart. What about Philly? This is an actual excerpt from John Clayton's 'First and 10' column this week: 'This was a bumpy offseason for Philadelphia, beyond Owens' antics. There was the Jerome McDougle shooting; Todd Pinkston blew out a knee; Correll Buckhalter is out for the season; Brian Westbrook held out and wants a new deal; and Corey Simon had the franchise tag pulled and signed with the Colts.'

Good Lord! In New England, the most traumatic event of the summer was Deion Branch's getting rested throughout the exhibition season because Belichick wanted to save him for the playoffs, so there was a rumor that Branch was hurt (it turned out that he wasn't). Meanwhile, Philly had so many things happen, a player got SHOT and it was casually thrown in the middle of the paragraph. Unbelievable. In a sport that ongoing distractions really can kill your season, the Eagles seem to be pushing the limits."

Now the good news:

"We'll see how it goes. In the AFC, they could have been broken. In the NFC, they'll probably still go 11-5, even with all this stuff happening."

This is an interesting bet. Hope I'm not paying off in week 12.

Fly, Eagles, Fly! On the road to victory.
Fly, Eagles, Fly! Score a touchdown 1-2-3...
Hit 'em low, hit 'em high
and watch our Eagles fly!
Fly, Eagles, Fly! On the road to victory!
E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!

What's even worse than this is that I even know the words to the Dolphins' fight song. Oh, and Penn's too.

Also from the Sports Guy:

To Terrell Owens and the Eagles. Back in Week 2, I wrote the following:

'Let's say you have a buddy who's dating a crazy chick. You know she's crazy. Hell, HE knows she's crazy. But everything is cool for a few weeks, to the point that people start saying, 'All right, maybe she really isn't crazy, maybe she's gotten her act together.' And then a few weeks pass ... and she turns into a complete lunatic. She makes Glenn Close in 'Fatal Attraction' look like Mrs. Cleaver. Just like you thought. Your poor buddy can't get out fast enough. And you're looking back in disbelief that you suckered yourself into this thing working out. That's T.O. It's only a matter of time. But for this week? We're still in the honeymoon phase.'

Followed that up in Week 10 with: 'By the way, how was the T.O. honeymoon period for you? If this was a relationship and T.O. was the chick, we'd be at the point where the Eagles just found out that T.O. stinks up the bathroom, can't cook to save his life, doesn't like sex as much as he claimed, and flips out whenever you don't want to do something with him and his family. In other words ... um ... maybe this was a bad idea.'

Here's the point: This was so overwhelmingly inevitable, anyone with half a brain could see it coming. They rolled the dice with T.O., got one fantastic season out of him, nearly won the Super Bowl when the Pats ran out of D-backs, and now they're stuck in the relationship from hell. Was it worth it? Actually, yes. The goal is to win a Super Bowl, right? So it was worth it since they almost won. Even if he ended up cutting up all their clothes and setting their house on fire."

I very much like the New Pornographers song "Twin Cinema." The new album is terrific - three and a row for Carl (AC), Neko, and the boys.

So I'm 1 for 1 on football bets this year (a 6 point tease of New England and the under). So with that pedigree, here's str8's plays of the week:

POTW: Houston-Buffalo under 37.5 (though I got this at 40)

Tease the following four teams by 6 points in a three-way round robin:

Hou/Buf Under 43.5
Titans +13
(Sex) Panthers -1
Rams even

This has been a public service announcement.

THE MEN COMMANDMENTS

I'm particuarly intrigued my #21. I wonder if that applies to conference calls...

Learn them; Live them; Love them

Is that timed subjectively or objectively. I mean, do I have to hang up after 10 seconds, or can I use some average?

:flag:

With no sign posted, I got a ticket in Connecticut for doing this. You could have knocked me over with a feather.

Anyone have landlord experience? My brother's tenant has a tenant who bounced July, didn't pay August and hasn't paid September's rent.

What would make you think you could turn left on red in Connecticut?

(We are law-abiding citizens -- we don't put up with this sort of tomfoolery.)

I, too, am curious about this rule. I mean, some of the conference calls I'm on tend to get rather lengthy. If the guys participating follow the commandments, they may be worth a second look.
