Super -- maybe you can make it the descant after the choral call-and-response. But of course, you are the maestro. I leave it to you.

Are you calling little 10-year old Coltrane a douche? I don't know how to take that.

We won the talent show. I was a winner. I was the quarterback for the winners. You can't take that from me.

Incidentally, the judges were not as kind to my You Can't Do That On Television skit the year after.

I'm not sure why I'm so squeamish about being the knocked-up bride. It wouldn't even register with me if I were an attendee at a shotgun wedding, but being one of the parties in the shotgun wedding makes me a little, um... embarrassed? (I probably shouldn't admit that.)

I've never done it before, so I don't know how I'd be, but I can almost never hear the vows because the bride and groom are so scared they can barely talk. I imagine were I to do it, I'd just stare at him and try to forget that everyone else is there.

Of course, my boyfriend really liked the approach in Rachel Getting Married. "Do you?" "Yes" "Do you?" "Yes." "You may now kiss the bride." There actually was very little about the wedding from that movie that we didn't like.

I don't recommend it for a bride-to-be. Too much drama that doesnt' need to be attracted. Sort of like how shortly after I watched The Money Pit for the first time since becoming a home-owner, I had to replace a sewer line, an air conditioning unit, and will soon need a new roof.

UVA had a brilliant goal line stand and on the last play, they stuffed FSU and the game was over. We couldn't see a fucking thing, but everyone ran onto the field before the play was even over anyway and started celebrating. Great game to go to, but I would have liked to have seen the stop, which was supposedly like an inch away from being a touchdown.

Holy shit, you were at that game? That is my people's Battle of Thermopylae, only against a much more evil enemy.

And with a much happier ending.

Dude, why are you still on this? What are you actually mad about? Is it that some people in Hollywood who think their industry is the most important thing since sandwiches is pissed off that one of their own will have to face a reality they are so out of touch with they think riding the subway would be method? If so, get over it. If not, what the hell are you so angry about? The guy got caught and hopefully he'll be brought back. What else is there?

College is better live - for the atmosphere. But I also tape Cal games, so I can watch the good, bad, key plays later.

Is this a potential bestiality-"uh oh" or a "I just realized my dad is a bear"-"uh oh?" Because I'm okay with either since it doesn't involve my kid.

But we didn't do the, "The winds of your love sweep over and shape me like I'm the sands of the Sahara" type garbage.

But we had a fake ceremony performed by an unoffical officiant who was just a friend of ours. We actually got married in 3 minutes down at City Hall.

I went to the game Friday night with my (one) Red Sox fan friend. He wore a Red Sox hat. And there were plenty of guys there with Red Sox jersies.

We talked about the different attitudes of the fans. Yankees fans will boo a Red Sox fan, make fun of him, and talk about he and his friends will do to his girlfriend (who is probably with him). But they rarely get violent. And this is my friend's thought: What's the point? How angry at Sox fans could Yankees fans be? Those 5 years of being second to Boston haven't really had much effect yet.

In Boston, if you wear a Yankees jersey, you're looking for trouble. And you will most likely get it. Two stories:

1. At a playoffs game, I was sitting in the bleachers at the stadium. There was a guy there with a loud-mouth, female sox fan. He was not a sox fan. This woman would not shut up. She had a huge sign that said something stupid. Someone took it away from her and ripped it up in her face. She got louder. Someone called her an idiot and, get this, she said, "Fuck you, I'm in law school!" Her friend told her to sit down and shut up, but it was too late. He had to take her out of there when the beers started flying.

2. I went to the one playoff game that the Yankees lost to Boston in '99 (I think)--it was the Clemens/Pedro game where Pedro struck out roughly 28 of our guys and Clemens gave up roughly 18 runs and was booed off the mound. Early on, some Yankees fan, in a jersey was simply walking to his seat and on the way, he was pushed several times, his hat was stolen, he got drenched with 6 beers and someone hit him in the head with half a hot dog. The cops came over and escorted HIM out.
