    Grades v. Sixers 12/14

    Van Damme exhudes as much machisimo as Pauly Shore. Well, at least you didn't throw Seagal in there. Between him and Van Damme, it's hard to say which of those glamour queens is the bigger prima donna. I've been told firsthand accounts of both of them from people who had to work with them...

    Harry Potter book - Please, NO SPOILERS!!

    Maybe a "spoilers/no spoilers" addendum to the thread title is in order here before a possible train wreck occurs?

    For L.A. Brian (5/29)

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. I visit here on a regular basis, even during the offseason. But I only log in to post stuff, which is rare (I was around 200 posts pre-crash, so that's 300 posts in 7 1/3 years). I'm moving to Boise, ID in a month and am considering changing my username to...

    Musselman era over...

    And that's all we'd be getting-- an X's and O's coach who has a subpar feel for the game and substitution patterns that can fly in the face of common sense. Sound familiar? The co-worker/Pacers fan across the room from me is laughing at me and begging for the Kings to take him. He's worn out his...

    Posting Issues?

    For a long time now I've had similar issues when posting through my Firefox browser. If I want to spout off and wax prose about something (which happens about.........never), I find that posting through IE removes the paragraph problem.

    Colt Brennan for the Raiders?

    He more or less said he's staying in school for another year unless he gets a firm offer from a team ahead of time that he'll be a high pick in the draft. I smell a future Lion.

    RIP Tower Records

    The article I posted said stores would be shut down in 8-10 weeks. I read elsewhere where it could be as soon as six weeks. So I'm checking again in five weeks for more severe markdowns, but only for their well-stocked CD department. It's not like they have a gigantic selection of books with...

    RIP Tower Records

    I'm hoping the prices will go lower as the final days approach because I found the sale disappointing if you're seeking music or DVD's. 10% off of all the music and DVD's, 20% off of books, and 30% off of magazines. Any sale stickers that were on the items have been taken off. Nearly all of the...

    RIP Tower Records

    Worth mentioning here since it was a Sacramento-based company. Great selection, but too much of it was at or near the record companies' list price (like $16.98, $17.98). I'll head to a store on Monday and see if the liquidation prices are drastic enough to merit mentioning...

    There is no topic

    Our friend Rick Fox came in to where I work last night. He's exec producing a film and wanted to come in to check on some of the results so far. When we crossed paths, I did my best to convey a somewhat muted look of disgust (didn't want to go overboard on it). I forgot to ask anyone if he'll...

    Steve Nash cuts his hair!

    If I was toiling around in a city with regular temps of 110+ in the summertime, I wouldn't want a mop on my head either. It's not like he's always had the long hair. During his Santa Clara days and early years in the NBA, he never grew it long.

    Behind Ward, 'Canes defeat Oilers to win Stanley Cup

    I was surprised by the amount of Whalers jerseys I saw in the crowds. I was even more surprised when, during the Cup presentation, there was some presumed fanboy decked out all in green down on the ice whooping it up. Probably some fan club president so that the owner could throw a bone to the...

    I can't help it! I love country music!

    Edgy is an understatement, especially for those poor souls who go to one of his gigs thinking that all he's gonna play is country music. At least he separates, or used to separate, his sets betwen all country and all punk/thrash with a break (and a warning) in between. I think his country...

    Hee Haw great dies

    I'm sad about it, but I have to admit that it was a fine way for him to go out-- dying in his sleep the night after performing at the Crystal Palace (which I thought he stopped playing at due to poor health). Buck was probably my favorite country artist to see live. He could put on a hell...
