Where is Sebby when we have a corncob in the ass?

I know it's nice to have someone to blame, but I don't think the Giants could have won even if str8 bet on Carolina. That was a brutal, brutal display, and their starting QB didn't get injured on the second play. Even Cincy had a little play in them in the first half.

Who's the NYG backup QB anyway? It's not the Bachelor, is it? Whoever it is, I'm somewhat surprised he didn't get a series in the second half.

I'd rather have Kitna as my starting QB than Grossman.

He's a free agent, so you just might.

They totally sucked. Unable to stop the run of a team that isn't known for its running game. Unable to do anything against the Carolina D (damn you for leaving us, John Fox!). The Giants were so bad, that my generally angst-ridden watching mate couldn't even muster up any angst. She stopped caring somewhere mid-way through the first half. I had to carry all the angst for the room until I gave it up in the 3rd quarter.

So. I'm looking for a new hobby until September.

Nice going, ncs. Break the board with your triple post.

Backup quarterbacks are Elizabeth (from Survivor/The View)'s husband, and that fat guy from University of Kentucky.

No wonder they stuck with Eli.

I can't go out of town for one freaking two hour meeting without ya'll breaking the board.

As an aside, if you're scheduling meetings in Austin where you're expecting people from Houston, Galveston, and Dallas to show up, check the fucking Southwest timetables so I don't have to get up at some obscene hour of the morning to sit on my ass in Austin for two hours waiting for a meeting to begin.

I've taken up drinking heavily. And sighing a lot. You could join me, if you'd like.

And see, as of the last game of the season, AND the Rose Bowl things are looking up football wise for me.

They certainly couldn't be any worse.

Think of all the revenue lawtalkers lost by being down for the day.

Sure they could. You could be a Browns fan. Or Hank.

I bought 1500 books and a giant fist dildo through amazon.com, but had to go directly to the site instead of through lawtalkers.

Weird that. I only hit send twice on it too. (got an error message after the first attempt.)

Sorry about the breaking the board thing. If anyone needs me, I'll be drinking a lot and sighing over in the corner with bnb.

Too bad Lyle Lovett is not playing the same night as REK this year. I like Cross Canadian Ragweed and all, but everybody already knows that the boys boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong.

Did the mouse make it?

No idea, but judging by the fact that it was on fire, the house burnt to the ground and the guy who saw it set it on fire in the first place, I'd say no.

But, what a way to go out...

I seem to remember a case from Criminal Law class that had similar facts. I may have just been drunk, though.

Fortunately, I am really a television chimp from the 50s.

That explains nfh's retirement. And other retirements, come to think of it.

Bands and new albums
 

Poll: For which artists/bands will you buy their next album they put out, unquestionably, without reservation, without reading a review, or hearing any of the songs, or knowing the title. Please do not include bands that are not reasonably likely to release any more new albums -- yes I would buy a new Beatles album, but there's not going to be one.

For me, it's
AC Newman, Arcade Fire, Belle & Sebastian, Bravery, Bright Eyes, Da Band (ahhh, I wish), Damien Rice, The Darkness (though I haven't gotten around to it yet), The Dears, Dizzie Rascal, Feist, Fiery Furnaces, Flaming Lips, Franz Ferdinand, The Game, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Green Day, Greenhornesm, GNR (I guess . . .??), The Hives, Immaculate Machine (Katherine Calder's band -- New Pornographers family), Inara George, Interpol, Jack White, Jay-Z, Kaiser Chiefs, Killers, Lowest of the Low (again, I wish), Ludacris, M.I.A., Mack 10/Westside Connection, Maximo Park, Moby, Morrissey, New Pornographers, Radiohead, Rilo Kiley, The Shins, Sigur Ros (though, once again, I haven't got around to it yet), Snow Patrol, Stars, The Streets, The Strokes, Tegan & Sara, Tenacious D, Transplants, White Stripes, Wilco, Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The saddest thing for me about making this list is that for a very long time, this list was one band, the Tragically Hip, and now they don't come close to making this list.

So, who ya got?

Aside from the whole mouse issue, why was this moron burning a pile of leaves during extremely dry conditions anyway?

But it is pretty darn funny that the mouse burned down his house.

You should have joined me and Less in Vegas.

Bands and new albums
 

My list is not that long, but here goes:

Garbage (I hear they have broken up again, however), Radiohead, Muse, Weezer, Travis, Pretenders (I can dream, can't I?), Killers, Pixies, Gorillaz, The Like, any band including either Tim Locke or Zac Maloy, Crowded House (sigh), Neil Finn, Morrissey (this is a fence-sitter for me based on his recent stuff, but now that I'm in with his keyboardist, I have to be up on his new stuff for the next tour)

In past years, I would have included REM, but they burned me pretty good with their last 4 or so albums.

As far as commentary on your list goes, that Yeah Yeah Yeahs album was horrible, though I still like Maps (it is in my head as I type this, in fact). Some of the other bands on your list are quite likeable, but don't fall into the no-questions-asked category for me (e.g., Kaiser Chiefs, The Bravery, Snow Patrol, Interpol).

Top of my list for impossible ones that I wish could put out another album would be Sublime.

Das Hips last 2 CDs were stellar.

Once again, you demonstrate that you have no fucking clue, Arnie.

In case you thought the karmic payback was a little steep for that guy, here's a similar story: Ty@80? {L.A. Times, reg. required, use bugmenot.com}

And, in other crazy elderly L.A. neighbor news, Fringey@78. {same}

Bands and new albums
 

With some emphatic subtractions from the above list, and being obviously somewhat older than you, I would add: Annie Lennox, Aqualung, Beastie Boys, Beck, Ben Kweller, Björk, Cake, Calexico, David Byrne, David Gray, Decemberists, Donald Fagen, Flaming Lips, Josh Rouse, Kate Bush (shut the fuck up, okay?), Mocean Worker, Negativland, Rhett Miller, Rogue Wave, Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Steely Dan, Tom Waits, and Tori Amos.

Oh, and I'm eagerly awaiting a sophomore effort from the Divinyls. We should have a band Death Pool. I famously predicted the failures of Dave Matthews and Coldplay after their respective first albums.

Bands and new albums
 

Both the Selecter (best early 80 English Ska band- yes better than the Specials) and Gang of Four came out with "we're back" Cds a few years ago. I eagerly bought them and they both sucked. I also do not like (yet) the BIG "duets" CD.

Am i always this negative?

This is one of those rare times where I know exactly where I'm not going to be for a whole month! Thanks, RT!

As if I would live in the OC.

Bands and new albums
 

Brad Nowell's death was the biggest loss to good music of the past decade. "40 Oz to Freedom" never gets old.

Glad I didn't buy the YYY record. I love "Maps," but had a sneaking suspicion the rest would blow.

My absolute buy list is very small. I'd have to go with the Beastie Boys, Dre (if he ever does anything again), Libertines (what a waste of talent), Metallica (why I have no idea... that last record was beyond awful), Floyd (yes, I bought the useless live Wall record from 79), the Stones, Neil Young, Weezer, Widespread, Dylan, White Stripes, Wilco (although that new live disc is boring... can Tweedy's voice be any flatter?).

I also buy lots of releases of old concerts by the Dead, Allmans, Dylan, etc...

I gave up on Radiohead a few years back. All their stuff started to sound the same.
