Nice of your Lions to make it a game.

Tried to take Thurgreed's advice but unfortunately, couldn't find "Planes, Trains . . " anywhere.

Is that like the Petri dish Principal?

Re: Done
 

There's an ice-house here called Beavers that had one of the most amazing bartenders I've had the pleasure of ordering a drink from. You'd just give a vague idea of what sort of drink you'd want, and he'd come back with something utterly amazing. He infused most of the booze himself, made his own marichino cherries, made his own bitters, and otherwise did everything the hard way. He left a month or so ago to open his own bar, and it should be a pretty amazing place. It's goal is to banish forever the apple martini in Houston. It opens sometime this month.

This is the cocktail menu at Beavers, but it's just sort of a launching off pad.

The funny thing is, if you are able to sit upright on that chair, you're definitely getting a serious ab workout.

IIRC, the Petre Principle has to do with the tendency of people to rise within an organization to the level of their incompetence, at which point they become firmly stuck and can only be dislodged with potassium nitrate.

Re: Done
 

e.g. how long ago did you and Thurgreed become mods?

Re: Done
 

So would you say that he's about fifteen years from licensing his name to national chain of airport bars, each offering travelers a menu of unique and tasty cocktails?

Re: Done
 

As distinguished from the Petrie Principle, which is that former USO dancer + black capris + ribbed turtleneck sweater = HOT.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Things that confuse me:

A sign on a commercial office building under construction that says it's a John Kors* "limited edition". What exactly is a "limited" edition building--there will only be two or three others exactly alike? If he can pull this off, it's genius, since most architects get to use the plans only once.

Things that worry me:

Seeing a taxi driver with an oxygen pipe in his nose. Do I really want him driving me somewhere? Does the oxygen tank have a fuel gauge on it as well?



*Not the actual name, because I forget, but some architect whose name is vaguely recognizable.

Wrong board, but what the hell.
 

This Xmas, I'm thinking of turning the Wee Slothrops into Wii Slothrops. We Slothrops own nary a video game device just now -- is that the right one to get? Any advice about the right software or hardware to go with it?

Re: Wrong board, but what the hell.
 

I hope so. I'm getting the same thing for the Gaplets.

I look forward to recommendations from people who actually know something about this, but my understanding is that you'll want to get a couple of extra remotes and nunchuks. Some Wii games suck, but apparently there are a number that are quite good. Anything Mario should work pretty well for the younger kids.

I expect Sidd to weigh in and explain that the Wii sucks because the platform offers neither Halo nor Ultimate Fighting.

Re: Wrong board, but what the hell.
 

We're considering the same. For us it's a Wii/no Wii option, as it seems the benefit of the Xbox 360 and PS3 are first person shooters and driving games with HD graphics, neither of which seem like necessary human experiences, while the playing of virtual bowling appears to be one of those things that will make you an oddball and social outcast if you haven't fully mastered it by 2011.

Plexico Burress
 

Last night, I turned on SportsCenter to watch the highlights of the wonderful, fantastic, might-as-well-have-been-our-playoff game I'd gone to see earlier that evening.

SportsCenter was obessed with Plexico Burress. Now, I understand that there'd be some bruhaha over a professional athlete who was stupid enough to shoot himself in the thigh. I also understand why the state of New York would be interested in indicting someone who violated handgun laws (and I was somewhat suprised to find that Texas has a stance on unlicensed weapons also...I just assume everyone's armed and no one officially cares.).

But why the perp walk? The man turned himself in. Obviously the only person he's a danger to is himself. This wasn't some great investigative coup by the New York Police Department.

It almost makes me want the grand jury not to indict him.

Re: Plexico Burress
 

People over 30 still watch ESPN?

Re: Plexico Burress
 

Dammit, we've been on Monday Night Football a grand total of once and we played really, really well, and I wanted to see highlights. Where else was I going to go?

I am aware that she's not attractive.

Re: Plexico Burress
 

She has the makings of an outstanding sideline reporter, though.

Re: Plexico Burress
 

She looks like she's had miles of cock.

Re: Plexico Burress
 

Isn't that an NYPD protocol? I thought pretty much everyone, especially high-profile guys including financial criminals, got to take a tour around the block.

Re: Plexico Burress
 

Is that available only in Texas Whole Foods stores?

From the neck down, that is my new screen saver.

If I could manage to wrench my gaze from the boobies and other nether regions, and focus on the face, I might say she sort of looks a little like Rachel Nichols. the other Rachel Nichols.

anyhoo, new screen saver!

Is there any number of toes that would make any difference?

That just makes me want to punch that guy.

Re: Plexico Burress
 

Depends on where the extra one is located.

Re: Plexico Burress
 

for those that knew him, you know why Penske's post reminded me of bilmore, and his wrestling match with Flower to see who'll leave the board. I can't believe that was six years ago.
