More than a few, but not a lot.

I generally only wear them in small gatherings where serious drinking is going on. I do not wear them to larger functions.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that as a prerequisite to serious drinking. But after serious drinking, who even knows what anyone is wearing?

I'm not sure if this will capture credit card offers. Regardless, it's not a bad idea to call 1-888-5OPTOUT to direct the four credirtreporting agencies not to sell your information to all the assholes who say "Hey, Equifax, we'll give you $y for every ten thousand credit profiles you sell us with credit scores above z and annual incomes about $x."

I've gone from getting an average of 4 credit card offers per day (seriously) to getting one every week or so. Makes that much less shredding for me to do.

But by the time you finish, it comes out more like "Ahh kan testes the ay-ay-ay-dees of (hic) aboud... (THUD)."

putting things together

I used to be a geek, but since I cannot even conceive of sitting through one of the the Lord of The Rings movies in a theatre I must have lost that status.

Now, I love to put things together. Trains, computers, whatever. If something is broken I can often take it apart, fiddle with it for a while and fix it. That said, for some reason, I cannot figure out my nephew's pack and play. I cannot set it up. I cannot take it down. The thing drives me nuts. Do they make these things impossible to work so that a new parent's life can be even more stressful or what?

For the ones I (used to) get, there were instructions for how to halt them. I think I had to fill out a form at the Post Office.

That's about right.

Oh, hell, I'm not gonna STOP.

I just mean, there's really no absolute measure of higher value of a single malt compared to a blend, unless it's simple scarcity.

Kind of why I made the statement. I don't drink scotch and was curious as to the truth of it.

In my humble opinion, no.

But if you prefer, take Sebby's word for it and buy the cheap blended stuff with a red label.

Speaking of the devil, does anyone else think that the Seinfeld episode with Kathy Griffin doing her one woman show "Jerry Seinfeld is the devil" and with George dating the woman who looks like Jerry, is one of the all time greats? I saw it again yesterday, and was very pleased that I did.

NFL (paigow please skip)

Fassel has been fired. He will coach last two games of the season though.

Here is si's list of potential replacements (nothing great, I think):

"Among the possible successors to Fassel are LSU coach Nick Saban, former Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin, and the Patriots' two coordinators: Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis. Coughlin, Crennel and Weis were Giants assistants under Bill Parcells."

Get Project Gotham or Project Gotham II for a really fun driving game with lots of options and lots of skill levels for rookies and the experienced. Gamer dude at the Best Buy told me that the only game to have is HALO, it's like totally the best game out there and it's their hottest seller. But more fun if you play on-line - which I don't do. All the guys at husbands company play NFL football on-line with headsets so they can trash talk the kids who think they've got game.
