3. I've been waiting all season
for the shoe to drop. For it to drop at this point, though...

:cry:

I'll get over it. Heh...I've had lots of practice, after all.

5. Yah, the shoe dropped on me on Tuesday.
:hug:

You know how much I cannot stand that team from the south side?

8. My guess would be
prolly about as much as I can't stand 'em. I don't know what it is about that team, but they...I don't like 'em. Never have.

Heh. Yesterday morning I heard someone saying that Piniella might want to think about taking the bat out of MBM's hands...don't let MBM beat 'em.

Hell, they don't need to worry about Manny. They don't need any other team to beat 'em. They're beatin' themselves. Dempster gives up 7 walks yesterday...today they commit four...FOUR...errors.

That's what makes it even worse. Wouldn't be so bad if they were playing worth a shit.

11. At least I can console myself that the Twins lost a 1-0 game
Some offense would have been nice, but it was a helluva pitchers' duel. (And I LOVES me a good pitchers' duel).

16. Oh, I ain't givin' up.
I think I need to knit something, though. I've been doing that most of the season...and I'm out of Cubbies stuff to knit. Maybe I could start a cap to go with Danny's scarf. Bonehead doesn't want socks, though. Go figure -- a 19-year-old who doesn't want either blue and gray or blue and white Cubs socks. What's the world coming to?

Sheesh.

Purty shoes.

:)

25. It depends on skin tone
and pedicure. Silver can work. Usually better than gold. Personally, I prefer either brown or black leather.

26. Black's okay
Brown's better. White, bone, tan... :thumbsup:

Silver and gold are like "I'm trying to look like a countess."

Pink, red, yellow, purple... kinda whimsical. Depends on who's wearin' 'em, and where.

15. No. I'm still spiraling.
That's why I am not really posting much at the moment. Too many emergencies, and medical problems, and hassles all getting in the way.

But I think we're all due for good news. So hopefully soon... :)

27. Youtube "Christmas tapes".
Coarse swearing, nudity, it's got it all. British Broadcasting at its best.

"Christmas Tapes" were compilations made by the BBC and the independent TV companies back in the 1970's and 1980's of bloopers and fake programmes purely for the entertainment of station staff, it was never intended for broadcast, and somehow they got so famous that even some of the leading personalities actually took part in them. It got to the point that if a gaffe was made, the next phrase out of their mouths was "Happy Christmas VT!" because usually the VT department would cut out that tape for broadcast, but save that part for their Christmas tape. However some of the tapes got too raunchy, and worrying about copyright issues, the respective companies banned their production and distribution.

But some of them got leaked out... and can now be found on Youtube.

Also check out the ones for "Rainbow". Rainbow was a kids TV programme, ran for ages on Thames. The cast made an absolute corker using the worst imaginable double entendre and slang for all kinds of "naughty stuff". Definitely not fit for broadcast - period - let alone as a kids show.

Mark.
