Not an advertisement as she works at a brokerage house and not a tire dealer. I think she thinks she's being friendly/helpful but I'm with you...Stay the fuck away from my car. I ahve no desire to call her as I am afraid this will only encourage her, and she seems to think we have some kind of fellowship because she drives the same make of car as I do...

Scary....

Addendum to Not Amused Poll
 

I think that the other women who post about football will mainly agree with me that we do it because... we care about football. fuck what any guy thinks.

I do agree with you re: the one line sports posts though.

This is sooo sexy.

Concur. She is one sexy broad and her secret is that her trying to be sexy isnt palpable to me, unlike other posters.

Thrasher, in my mind, is a jersey and sneaker wearing, big titted, full bushed, baseball capped woman with a can of Old Milwaukee in a hot pink styrofoam thingie to keep it cool. Sexy without trying.

SD's Topic Changes?
 

I thought I was known for relentlessly pounding a topic to death. Now I'm just confused.

Regardless, I'm all for sudden and dramatic topic shifts. This will allow me to expose myself as more of a boorish dilletante.

Well, I am Not Amused (hi Not Bob!) by women who don't like sports and think sports are the sole domain of men.

I love sports, lots of sports. It's not a pretension, it's a reality.

Now, if I mention that my library contains a novel by Mike Lupica, and books by John Feinstein, John Madden, and a retired NFL referree, then you might have grounds to raise an issue that I am just trying to look like a sports geek. Or that I am a sports geek. Either way.

Who is......google......oh, ohhhhhhhhhh. Why? Now people will think of her when I post and see her instead of the great avatar that Leagl gave me. She's funny looking and I saw her on a show once (not Survivor, some behind the scenes thing or something) and she's a lot meaner than I am. She must smoke a lot too because she is deep and raspy whereas I sound semi-deep and sultry. I see in her bio that this freak gets up at 2am -- WTF, I haven't even gone to bed yet.

Can you please think "not quite so deep but kinda Marlene Dietrich-ish" when you read my posts.

CD
 

The SO purchased this to add to our already obscenely large CD collection. On the first listen, I didn't like it very much. Subsequent listenings have softened me somewhat, and I agree that k.d. lang would have been perfect for "Crazy." I couldn't stand Martina McBride's rendition of "Sweet Dreams." The back-up singers ruined it.

Aha! I heart sports. You just dont hear me advertising it. Except tennis of course. But even then, it is mostly to talk about how cute the men are. And tennis is okay bc it is a sport women play or played or could play.

Which brings us back to Lisa Guerrero. WTF?

As I was looking for info on the end of last night's game, I came across this:

Why is this woman not on the sidelines instead of LG?

Thoughts on last night's baseball game
 

Part 1 in a 2 part series:

Didn't get to watch as much of this game as I'd have liked, but I saw the 9th, and saw the highlights.

Could Manny have taken a little longer to get to first base after taking Zito deep? If I weren't a big Barry/Rickey fan, I'd be pissed. Instead, hats off.

What the hell was Kevin Millar thinking in not charging that 'going-foul' grounder with 2 down in the 9th? Ecchh that could have turned out badly.

Hey Oakland - you live by the walk, sometimes you die by the called third strike. No question those pitches by Lowe were strikes. And very mean ones too. Wow. Does he get some movement on his sinker or what!

Hard to say whose bullpen is worse, New York or Boston.
The pitching matchup is looking like Pedro and Clemens starting games 3 and 7? I go with the Sox.

MNF Thoughts
 

I got to watch the last 2 minutes of the MNF and the overtime of the Colts big comeback. Pretty much all I've got to say is that the officials made two of the worst calls I've ever seen. That "running into the punter" call that Tupa drew was outrageous. And it serves the Bucs right that they lost.

That said, the call on Simeon Rice is the worst call I've ever seen in an NFL game. The single worst call. All I can think of is that the officials were told by Tags to flag someone for leaping during the MNF game because it's happening lots around the league. So they figured - "idiot kicker's not going to miss this one, so I can call a meaningless leaping penalty on Simeon, it will be declined, game over, and teams will now be on notice about leaping." Problem is, as he's throwing the flag, he didn't see idiot kicker hook the ball wide. But now that the kick was bad, he can't go saying, "whoops, my bad." Rekick, doink, game over.

And yeah, the Bucs secondary was pitiful, but you gotta cut them some slack because it wasn't exactly their A-team out there.

Yeah, Mariano Rivera really sucks.

YANKS IN FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if my yanks lose, I will be very sad.

Can't Go That Fast
 

That is exactly what I tried to tell the officer. If I had been going 55 in a 45, then my ancient diesel Rabbit's engine would have been roaring like a jet in take-off. He still wrote the ticket. Jerk.

Edited to add:

True. I hauled a big wing chair (not like a wingnut) home from an estate sale in mine. And it got great mileage but finally gave up the ghost. But it was a bad car chose for Minnesota winters. Diesel fuel gets like gelatin if you aren't careful.

speaking of choke
 

Thanks for last night. I get to say I told you so to so many people now.

But please change your mind about the Sox. I'm just not ready for hell to freeze over as I don't really like the cold so much.

And yes the war chant is worse than any other gimmicky thing. Ask anyone. It's every 5 minutes and it's annoying. Towels don't annoy.

And Confidential to Paigow - I guess you haven't noticed, but lots and lots of women talk about sports - or do you just walk away when you hear "killer D?" Women love sports because women love athletes - get it? Or at least just watching guys in tight pants. If you watched more sports, you would see what I mean. If you're going to watch the Yanks, see how nice those pants fit that Jeter guy.

Football
 

Must you rub this in??? I mean God, man, have some compassion. Sure it was 11 years ago. 11 years?? Fuck. And sure I've since lost the whole TEAM after dedicating 22 years of fandom to them. But, it's still a raw wound.

Yeah, I saw that. Its a bullshit name. But so is Jaden. Totally exemplary of the diff between Sampras and Agassi. THe Sampras kid is named "Christian" which is a lovely, normal first name. The Agassi kids are Jiz and Jaden. Who knows, maybe they are Kraut names but I dont think so.

Which is another thing I am Not Amused by. This trend to name kids last names or made up names in order to make them sound waspy or special. Hello, this is my son, Zander Taylor Montgomery Cohen. Its like what Coco Chanel said, as quoted by SIgorney Weaver in Working Gir as paraphrased by mel, if you wear jewelry, they notice the jewlry, but if you wear a simple dress, they notice the woman.

My new favorite ESPN babe is the pregnant woman whose name I just forgot who does the Monday night Countdown. She interviews a single player at his house or, last night, Brian Kelly at a local movie theater. She's a beautiful woman, but very, very pregnant so she gets these great unguarded interviews.

After she delivers, she should get the sideline gig.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

That was driving me crazy -- I even tried a google search, but my google-fu is not really up to snuff.

Sorry Thrasher
 

This friend of my uncle, an engineer, was driving uphill on I-90 in Idaho in an old pick-up with a load of metal in the back, and a cop ticketed him for going 80. He was outraged, and certain that the cop's radar was picking up a car going downhill on the other side of the highway, so he did a ton of empirical work to prove that his engine, with that load and that grade, couldn't get the truck going 80.

Judge just didn't even want to hear it. So sad.

I am getting strangely turned on by this post. So sexy.

Sorry Thrasher
 

He shoulda called Marisa Tomei as a witness.

Disturbing
 

This story is disturbing on so many levels...
Former child star Macaulay Culkin had to buy cigarettes for Marilyn Manson when the two were working together on “Party Animal” and the shock rocker couldn’t produce any identification. “We went to a liquor store and the lady asked us for IDs, which was amazing because they didn’t recognize either of us,” the 34-year-old Manson told the Brit magazine FHM. “I didn’t have any ID so he had to buy the cigarettes. Virginia Slims lights.”

Virginia Slims? What man smokes Virginia Slims?

Paigow:

I have a question...does everyone in here look and sound like someone to you? Just curious.

BTW, you, in my mind, look and sound like Jami Gertz in Less than Zero except for sometimes when you look and sound like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

Sorry Thrasher
 

I wouldn't have minded that - that sounds interesting, at least. My gripe was with the people who pled not guilty, got a trial date, and then, at trial, testified, as their complete defense, that their vehicle wouldn't go 80.

He predicts the potential downfall of the NHL because of the Dany Heatley car crash, which is a little extreme and made me feel sad, but it is a nice comment on Dan Snyder (also made me sad).

What?!? They named a kid Jiz? You have GOT to be kidding. That's just gross.


I hate this trend more than I can possibly express. "This is my daughter Morgan [or worse, Brittany, or Skylar (WTF?!?) or Hunter] Finklestein." Uh, what? The first name has to go with the last name!! The retarded wife of my brother-in-law has come up with a doozy of a name for her soon-to-be-born child that transgresses, in the most egregious fashion, this unwritten law of nature. (However, seeing as it's her, I can't say I'm surprised...)

I believe the line is: "Dress shabbily, they notice the dress; dress impeccably, they notice the woman." However, Sigourney was making a comment about Melanie's jewelry, I think, in the movie. I think she said something like, "You look great! [ominous pause...] You might want to rethink the jewelry...." [as she's reading over something on her desk]. Man, she was the perfect bitch in that movie.

The answer is "no". Only people who have left a distinct enough impression that they remind me of someone. The impression may have come from one post, like there was a time tht PJ sounded just like Merecenary Melissa from Joe Dough and that stuck. And of course, thy have to be people I havent met. I dont have one for you at the moment. probably bc you seem like someone I would know. Although, SD seems like someone I would know but I picture him to look like a tall thin shaggy brown haired guy with blue eyes who I might have gone to school with at some poit. nothing totally distinctive.

Do you not get Susan Hawk from Thrashers? Who else could she be?

I picture myself as Maud Lebowski bcI am not exactly paigow. I assume you got Jami Gertz from the time I said "behoove"? I dont remember her in that movie, but generally, I dont like her or her voice. I am gussins Uma from my avatar? She is not that different from Maud if you think about it.

You took my #1 "not amused" answer. I am tired of having people tell me their baby's name and having to pretend that they are not idiots for naming their kid something repulsive. If it doesn't look half-decent on a business card it shouldn't be used.

Also Not Amused by:

People who think they shouldn't be billed for phone calls, especially if they were calling about a relative's legal problem rather than their own.

People who park really close to my driver's side in their humongo-mobiles so I can't fit into my car.

Responding to idiot form-discovery that doesn't even apply to the case at hand.

Anyone who has their secretary call *me* to ask me to "please hold" for Mr. X because the lazy-ass can't be bothered to actually dial the numbers to call me himself. (I have never seen a woman do this - only men, often Doctors).
