51. My dear girl
That is a Banks-modified 366-inch Chevy twin turbo for serious racers.

This is what a mullethead runs.

40. One of the funniest lines I ever heard
The year I worked for a minor-league ball club, five of us were having lunch one day, and the GM was saying something about the club in Helena (Big Sky League, I think). The PA dude goes, "Before I got into minor-league baseball, I'd never heard of Helena, Montana. I always thought it was in a place called Handbasket."

I fell out of the booth laughing. :rofl:

28. thanks!
Yeah my son has been pretty into football lately, and I love watching Big Ben and Polomalu? run. It's exciting. Last weekend I was jumping around like a damn fool!

I love how no one expected them to win either game....and we don't have to face New England again!

38. Is Polomalu the guy with the great hair?
If he's the one I'm thinking of, I have to say he remained amazingly composed after that ref screwed up the call on his interception/fumble/recovery.

and he did remain quite composed!

And the overturn was fucking bogus, IMHO!

I'm already there

62. Minor aches and pains, but feeling better
than I did yesterday. Actually, I've been feeling very lazy today. Watched a little television and almost fell asleep. It was boring so I came here. Wish CSpan came in clearer than it does. We are not supposed to have it, but sometimes I can hear what people are saying on there. I want to hear Al Gore tomorrow. Maybe they'll play it on CSpan2. It's clearer, but not completely clear. Maybe there will be video online. :shrug:
