I wonder if Leno still has the Harley that CBS bought him with the engraving on the tank inviting him to ride over to CBS.

I will also put a ban on CM :D

Conan is not the hot property that NBC believed him to be and they should have let him walk and never forced Jay from 11:30. Conan threatened to walk unless he got the bump to 11:30, which is why NBC made the Jay announcement five years earlier. This is a repeat of the scenario that pushed Letterman to CBS. NBC did not learn from their mistake.

I enjoy Conan for the most part but I agree that the kind money they're throwing around and then going to have to compete against him is an utter failure by NBC management. But I am glad he's taking care of his staff; all of them had been working at his show in New York for 17 years and then picked up everything and moved to Los Angeles, only to get fired seven months later. I remember how it felt when I moved to Austin from San Diego under the auspices of having a job, then getting laid off a week later. It was a b!tch. :-:

You might wish to look into booking your Alcatraz tour before you get here. Those tickets can disappear quickly.

We will be doing so next week, most likely. We're still fleshing out the schedule.

The Marriott Plaza here = meh...

Rivercenter room 3310 is the way to go.

Called Chase again. I have to wait for the transactions to move from pending to posted before I can file the forms and get my money back. :rolleyes:

Ugg, I feel like crap today because of allergies. I need to prep for a meeting tonight but I suspect I'll feel like crud for another two hours.

But of course.

I love that commercial.

Edit: we could do something similar except with the t-shirt on and you holding/drinking a can of rolleyed beer while sitting on some piece of heavy construction equipment.

I see you've edited this post. Still no mention of pants though.

TSA play figures for kids
 
Need your help.


I remember reading that someone has a set of these "action" figures from Playschool or another toy company.

Please send me a PM if you own a set. We need them for the Box Calendar. :D

I want to say that was Phudnik, but I could be way off on that. Perhaps a search will help...

How I want that to be true. But, if Star gets too powerful and OneWorld collapses, it will mean an end to alliances altogether.

We can include pants, if you want. ;) Although I do have a pair of CO boxer shorts if you prefer.

Phudnik does own the TSA checkpoint play set, and it was by Playmobil.
