WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.

WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...

WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS

  WannaBe: Not sure about casting her as Spock's Mom... http://tv.yahoo.com/show/33812/news...
Nov-09-07  YouRang: <NakoSonorense: What? TWO Grand Slams in the SAME inning to the SAME guy? Is that even physically possible? I would never have imagined something like that!>

Well, you see, there are 2 universes: (1) The universe of bad pitching and (2) the universe of bad managing.

If the exotic bizzaro fringes of these universes should collide, you get the stated Chan Ho Park "inning from hell" incident.

< What are the Dodgers gonna use him for?>

Good question. Ballast?

Nov-11-07  NakoSonorense: Pleasure meeting you! I was afraid you would try the wannabe's gambit. I was really not prepared for that! xD

  WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Great meeting you too, left a message at your forum. Along with links to a couple of pictures.
Nov-11-07  chessmoron: <Wannabe> Tell <NakoSonorense> your thoughts about the latest flick from Coen Bros. (if you had seen it on Saturday)

  WannaBe: Alas, I did not see the movie, it is currently in limited release, and the theatres are all 'kinda' far away from where I live.

I shall wait for the wide release and watch it. Reviews, that I have read, all said good/great things about it.

Unfortunately, if that is possible with a Coen movie, is that, this is a novel adaptation, very faithful one, I should add.

I like their original movies, quirky, funny, dark, the darker the better, that's the way I like my movies...

But I still, will see this movie. Will give a review when I see it, apparently, one of the character is played by a Spanish actor, quite well known on the continent, but (still a) relatively unknown here in the states.

But he has stared in a few other movies that I have seen, but I can't remember him in them! =(

Nov-11-07  chessmoron: Chargers beat Colts! Woohoo!

  WannaBe: Arrived safely, only broke about 3 dozen motor vehicle laws...

Due to the Oracle conference, all the hotel are pretty packed, so instead of my usual Best Western, I'm at a Motel 6...

If I have my choice, I'd pick Best Western... Just me though.

Any chance that 49ers gonna come back and make it a game? Like that Indy-San Diego game last night?

  WannaBe: I love this, instruction for wireless connection in my motel room...

1. Visit front desk to obtain a Wi-Fi Internet Access Card. ($2.99/24 hours)

2. Turn off any personal firewall <until after> you are connected.

Huh?!?!

  WannaBe: Then why, <my> tropical fishes die?! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071114...
Nov-14-07  JoeWms: This is from <WannaBe>'s link:

<Surviving on land is not the only unusual behavior exhibited by the fish. They have both testes and ovaries and essentially clone themselves by laying their own, already fertilized eggs.>

It's a do-it-yourself world.

Nov-14-07  Chess Classics: My team beat your team.

More to the point, your defense got burned by Rex Grossman. Now that's just kinda sad.

(You're a Raiders fan, if I recall right?)
