OTDOD - 9-8-08 = -7 Edition

I know you started it off and all, and you’re trying to make a point, but I have throw this sign up:

Technically, MadLibs need to be random and work best when they’re completely unrelated to the story. That’s the tact I took with mine…

“Meanwhile, the same article (I’m trying to find it online but can’t – it was in the Guardian on Saturday) reckons that the money the UK has contributed to the exercise is almost equivalent to the amount spent in developing renewable energy sources.”

I hate journalists.

wait, we’re not the Tigers, and why would the ChiSox deal Jim Thome, especially now?

Fuck my life.

We all have our own drives we brought from home that we use to transfer reports,pictures, videos, ect. Well he was so worried that we might be taking “sensitive materials” out of the casino that he made us sign a contract saying that we couldn’t take them out of Surveillance if they had anything Surveillance related on them, so they basically never leave the room. However, he agreed to reimburse us for however much our drives cost.

So I went out and bought me one of these and said that was the one I’m using, when in reality I’m keeping it at home and keeping the 1GB at work that looks exactly the same. Suckers.

I can understand this from Chad’s perspective, but Reebok should let him off the hook.

Ocho Cinco jerseys would be flying off the shelves if they just ate the cost of the old jerseys.

It’s actually not a bad experience.

Sad, but now I know why we haven’t heard from him in a long time.

That’s usually the one where you have a changed job status and no work the next day.

as promotions almost always equal extra hours and less time off with the added responsibility.

Layne is the only reason they were worth a shit

As for the new stuff, they’re not trying to necessarily capture the same old sound. They’re kind of doing what they see as moving forward.

…there’s been a MUCH better alternative to paying for Photoshop for years.

(I also used Picasa to edit my photos when I first got my dSLR. No, it wasn’t Photoshop, but it could handle my RAW files…)

I’m not sure how to feel about this, really. I’m not usually a big fan of comebacks after announced retirements, but if Armstrong holds true to his (reported) word and posts drug test results every step of the way, and somehow manages to win or finish on the podium in France, it may actually help restore cycling’s reputation, which would be a good thing.

Of course, it could be that cycling’s reputation is beyond repair, but that’s another issue.

Oh CRAP!

than that nothing in the media ever changes, so there’s a diminishing return to what they do because nothing will ever change as far as the inanity of sports media goes. So FJM, while still funny, starts to feel pointless after a while, at least to me.

I also think it’s because they are growing up (not in a bad way). Your viewpoints change as you move along in life and one day you realize some fights are not worth fighting. Ken has admitted his passion for what he does is waning. It may be time to get some new blood in there.

A feature on Dave Cutaia from 2004. He was also a cop.

For several years he worked at the Division II and junior college levels. In 1983, he joined the Pac-10. He has also officiated Arena Football and the now-defunct XFL.

“Right now I think he’s the top official in the Pac-10,” said (fellow official Dave) Newhouse. While there is no official numerical ranking given to referees, being selected to work a bowl game is considered a sign of confidence.

He was also the ref that blew several calls in the 2006 Oregon-Oklahoma game.

And apparently he and Oregon coach Mike Bellotti were HS classmates.

Make of all this what you will.

She’s underused by that show. She needs to work for Joss again.

Maybe Dr. Horrible can have a sidekick.

…but I believe you can with OpenOffice.org’s free Office suite.
