Calling All Meanies
 

Apropos of nothing, I miss those Carvel commercials with the gravelly-voiced old guy (the owner?) shouting "I'm Fudgy the Whale!"

eta: Yup, it was Tom Carvell. Thanks, google.

This guy has different feelings about those commercials:

• I don't know what all the fuss is about, Tom Carvel freaked the hell out of me when I was a kid. And the poster who used the pseudonym, "Ghost of Tom Carvel" gave me a taste of the sinister fear that was my childhood. Every time those low rent commercials came on, with the sepulchral, asthmatic voice of Tom Carvel, pleading with me to buy a "Fudgie the Whale," or a "Cookie O' Puss, " I just freaked out, man, i couldn't handle it.

you do realize this sort of thing proves that I was right about the Sirius station playlists?

1. That hawk vs. snake thing reminded me I haven't checked gorillamask.net lately (they often have stuff like that -- followed by "Who ya got?" Anyways, today there's a link to a crudely drawn video making fun of Fall Out Boy's indecipherable lyrics.

2. A MN high school hockey team beat the USA women's national team today, 2-1. I'm marginally surprised by this. If I recall, the 2002 Olympics was Canada vs. US for the final in women's hockey, so the US should have a good program. However, based on what little I've seen of US women's college hockey, there's no way they could hang with a good male HS team.

What can I say, Hank? I'm merely a tasteless prole, living in a cultural and intellectual backwater.

I've even been known to enjoy a domestic, mass-produced and marketed beer (in a Not Ironic way).

if it's PBR then you're as urbane as Coltrane. you just have to sneer when you say it.

I've actually listened to less than an hour of Sirius- you may well be right and I'll drop to 205-14

HAPPY ???? DAY!!!!
 

To that Special Someone:

Happy You Day. You will always be atop my crush list.

Oh, and To All My Friends:

I understand that Another Certain Someone has been boring the shit out of the interesting people with all her tedious, Look At Me bullshit. To this person I say, Uh, shouldnt you be childrearing and sharing the wondrous tales with all your other, real life friends? Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Hi Paigow.

Hayley Wickenheiser (sister of Doug) played on a Finnish men's team (not as goalie, so she actually did something), so she could handle her own. That's just an example, and I don't think the rest of the team was as good as her. They beat the US in the Olympics, but didn't smoke them, so hard to say how they would stand up against a MN highschool team. I have no idea if the same players are coming back for the Olympics, so who knows what the caliber is right now.

I have to say, one of the best moments for me of the 2002 Olympics was when the women hockey players received their gold medals holding their babies. I totally cried.

HAPPY ???? DAY!!!!
 

please come back paigow :love: :love: :love: :love:

Which has precisely what to do with A&E (based in NYC/Stamford, CT) and Anderson Cooper (working for CNN, which is based in Atlanta, in its NYC office)?

so str8 disrespects women icers generically, and should someone with a crush on you, decide to lie about being a hockey player on the internet, the sock should claim to be defense or a forward. Gotcha.

I think I recall in Antitrust class (one of the few interesting law school courses) that he went out of business for antitrust violations. Something about forcing stores to buy his filler for the soft serve machines he invented? Anyone?
