  1. Are you looking at an earpiece, or a bluetooth stereo headset? I've thought the idea of the wireless bluetooth stereo headphones sound like a great idea if you have a cell phone with a built in MP3 player. However, i've never played with any of those toys yet.
  2. Pick another winner out of the bucket:
  3. Courtney? pfftt ... she's a cartoon. JANIS JOPLIN FOREVER !
  4. I know it's not the first time this has been done, but it reminds us that we should question photos authenticities all the time. http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2007/03/tale-of-tears-reagan-time.php Time Gets Crafty With Weepy Reagan Cover TALE OF TEARS Reagan, Time Is Time hoping a little controversy will draw attention to its redesign? The first new-look issue, on newsstands tomorrow, features what appears to be a photo of Ronald Reagan with a fat tear sliding down his cheek, illustrating the cover story, "How the Right Went Wrong." A somewhat cryptic credit in small type on the (revamped!) table of contents describes the image this way: "Photograph by David Hume Kennerly. Tear by Tim O'Brien." Nowhere does it specifically state that the cover is a photo illustration—in other words, that it's Photoshopped. The use of a striking but fabricated image is consistent with the vision laid out by new managing editor Rick Stengel, who has said he wants Time to be more like The Economist—the British newsweekly that often features humorous photo illustrations on its cover. Still, one wonders: Is the wording of the credit enough to make its provenance clear to unsophisticated readers? And, equally important, how will the conservative acolytes who worship Reagan as a demigod feel about seeing a faked image of their hero used for a story criticizing the movement he championed? UPDATE: A Time spokesperson responds with a statement: Time regularly runs conceptual covers, as we did last week with the "Verdict on Cheney" cover, depicting the vice president standing under storm clouds." (That image was far less subtle in its artificiality, but fair point.) "This week's cover image is clearly credited on the table of contents page, naming both the photographer of the Reagan photo and the illustrator of the tear."

    Alternate soundtrack to old '70s PSA for union workers Awesomely hilarious union commercial from the 70s with alternate (and filthy) narration. According to the person who posted it on YouTube: "This is a rare gem. This was a PSA that the voice-over person decided to record an "alternate" version of for fun. This comes from the archives of a local tv station. You won't find this anywhere." NSFW unless you are wearing headphones.
  9. Sorry about that. I didn't even notice. I was too busy lingering in the Blue Lagoon listening to Endless Love to even notice that it had been posted. Consider it an "edit" to get Phistaper's fine selection back in there

  17. Thanks Baj, Either way, i'm stoked to make it to this one. Do most of the people get there on the first day? Or, are there a lot who arrive for the Fri-Sun portion? Any idea on ticket prices? What was it last year?
  18. The wife is lovin' the looks/lineup of this one! Just went over the website (and heart-wrenching story of the owners' daughter Jessica) and she's in. There's a good chance I might swing a small camper/rv ... are those sites relatively close to the stage? Anyone know. If we don't get it and to the tent thang, do you camp by your car, or hike in to your sites?
  19. F the conspiracy. I just know it was a BLOWN call that resulted in the other team scoring.
  20. !Sweet Leafs! Two clutch wins in the past two games. Great comebacks and solid play. Raycroft is pulling his shit together too. HOw can they miss another high stick to Sundin's face last night?!?!?!? Also two plays with Tucker (being pushed into the post, and not negating the icing call). BRUTAL. Great seeing Wellwood back in the lineup too. He adds so much to the offense.
  21. Say hi to Rory for me. I go wayyy back with that cat. Haven't seen him in quite a while though
