You heard her mention a double-takeout, didn't you?

Maybe not - poor shot.

Nah - I need to stay home for a few weekends.

I forgot I'll be in PR this weekend for the start of our sales conference anyway.

No, they are not.

That wouldn't have been out of most parks -- name one -- Yosemite... :rolleyes:

No kidding. That was all about her strutting her stuff in that sack dress and grabbing a couple more minutes in the spot light so she can bolster her "acting" career.

Not characteristic of the Chinese team at all.

Taking shower that I probably should have taken an hour ago...

Thanks, all. Took a while to write it but I thought it was worth the time.

CM, right now on NHL Network there's a 2 hour special on your favorite goalie. Lots of NJ Devil stuff.

Turned on after I saw the post, thanks.

Sacrificial Otter?

For those curious about NBC's :rolleyes: decision to throw the USA-Canada Hockey game on MSNBC - the ratings of the game still exceeded those of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

2 hours 20 minute broadcast. I would regularly watch hockey if game was presented the same way with a spirited game like that... Last night's game should win an award for quality broadcasting -- viewers never had the chance to catch their breath... ^

NBC does not know how to manage, plain and simple. I'm not saying that I could do it any better, as my extent of TV knowledge is limited to production and not being a front office guy. But come on. Ice dancing? The NHL complained, and NBC (who is an existing partner thanks to their late-season weekend game airings) basically told the NHL to pound sand.

On Firefox, no. Bolt is a different story.

Milestone reached. Ding. I haven't had one of these in a while. Good night.
