19. Hockey game for the gold between USSR & United States - 1980, I believe
Edited on Sat Sep-20-08 08:58 PM by fed_up_mother
At the time, our guys were all amateurs, and their guys were paid and supported by the soviet system.

It was an AMAZING game.

33. Hello, hello, hello
Edited on Sat Sep-20-08 09:14 PM by Ichingcarpenter
Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?

Come on, come on down,
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax, relax, relax
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

When I was a child, I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I’ve got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.


OK, OK, OK
Just a little pin prick.
There’ll be no more, aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh,
But you may feel a little sick.

39. I'm watching ''Across the Universe' right now
I'm surprised it is a very good movie and I am a huge Beatles fan

Tonight I will give that movie 5 stars.




Also a huge Pink Floyd fan which is why I picked that song for sports
or bread and circus.

40. Historically favorite moment? Stephan Matteau goal, double OT 1994 Eastern Conf Finals Game 7
Close second: Rangers win Stanley Cup, 1994.

Today? Cubbies, no doubt. North Side, baby.

46. I think pretty good, actually
Much better than last year. No dark horse NL team will sweep them out of the playoffs. They're hands-down the best team in the National League. I think Philly will give them minor headaches in the first round if they don't take the NL East, and ditto for the Mets (my team). I don't see how the Dodgers beat either the Mets or Phils in the other series. This is, of course, supposing that Milwaukee's collapse continues, and the Mets don't completely knock themselves out like they did last year. Remember that the Cubbies have a 4 game series coming up in Shea this week, so it should be an interesting preview. I have to think it also helps the Mets that the Cubs have already closed the deal in the Central, since the Mets are still battling the Phils for the East (Mets took 1st last night, and the Phils are about to retake it tonight, etc.).

48. Remember, alcibiades
It's a short series. Best of Five. I'm rooting for The Cubbies ,but any of these teams can give them fits. Especially, The Phils.

47. And I was watching that one, too. Ducks had a great 4th quarter
But came up 5 points short.

I've still got to give it to the Bowl game for the sore vocal cord factor.

Let's see, the Irish not showing up until it was too late against MSU, or the Brewers choking another one away, and now I get to look forward to Green Bay against Dallas which could be great, or a disaster.

Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 10:55 AM by two gun sid
and their offense looked good doing it. My business partner's 2YO colt finished 4th in the MI Sire Stakes Finals at Hazel Park and that was a very good outcome.

*on edit* I also won a small wager with a co-worker on the MSU-ND game.

58. Most definitely Oregon and Notre Dame losing.
Other than not wanting Notre dame to get in a BCS bowl I got nothing much against them.

The Beavs have never lost to them. Ever.

I'm not too keen on the Boise Broncos, but the Beavs have never lost at home to them.

But the Ducks have!!!1111!
