I'd love to see Police Academy 6 -- the Hunt for Nicole's Killers. Throughout the movie Leslie Nielson turns to OJ and asks "Are you s-u-r-e you didn't do it?!"

I love those lizards and geckos. Occassionaly one will freak me out as I reach for the front door. Hmmm stormy on one half, bright skies on the other. I'm getting homesick for Chicago. It is a pain in the back shoveling sunshine all winter

It was ironic last year the Football champ came from the Big 10 and the Basketball from the Big XII I can say this Football is huge in this neck of the woods (Texas) my son's High School stadium seats like 10,000 and will be sold out throught the HS playoffs. I couldn't even do justice to the Oklahoma-UT and UT-A&M games. Those games make the Bears-Packers seem like a Sunday picnic game of two hand touch.

A guy I worked with modeled for a couple years. He started to meet really beautiful women. He figured he'd be the only male model hitting on them. Wrong. All the other male models were hitting on the girls. Good money but long hours.

There seems to be a concensus that you two should be modeling.

I'm offended. As a crack dealer and loan shark I can assure you this is serious business and not a game

manuel? You using the former manager of the White Sox

Ahh the Big 10 the third or fourth best football conference in the country. Wisconsin their not bad their bad-ger

LOL or when you're hungover so bad you feel like shaving your tongue? :elvis

Vote Republican!! Next you'll be putting on a pin stripe suit to go to the Cubs game . . .

You got 4 votes in the both category.... Damn I hate when someone quotes you before you edit! Steff, is that you on the left or right?

Cloudy and overcast here as well. At least the temp is down into the 80s. I'm taking 20 or so teenage boys camping in Corpus Cristi this weekend, I'm hoping for some cool night time temps.

I know the pain Tex. A few days before Christmas marks the 25th anniversary of my uncle's death. He was killed by a drunk driver. My dad said that he never wanted to find out what happened legally to the driver (the guy walked away with scratches and a bruise or two) because one, it wouldn't bring him back and two if killing someone didn't change the guy's ways, nothing would. He also said at the time in Ireland, the laws were different and he imagined not much probably happened. My uncle was to be married the next year. I'm just thankful his passenger wasn't seriously injured. At the funeral three girls almost got in a fight because each of them was describing herself as his girlfriend. And the reason he got so drunk and pissed was a different girl had dumped him that night.

I always thought I could do some modeling, who's hiring for *before* photos?

Mine's a Conair Interplak very nice unit. My son has a Braun that has been going strong fora couple years.

Anna K at some tennis tournament. I felt I needed a sports related avatar

I have a Taylor Made driver and 3-wood but I didn;t know they made appeals

y'all have to get an electric, they are so perfect.

LOL I love that smiley, when was it added? I picture him trying to fit into the trunk and not quite being able to close the lid. If it don't fit, you must acquit!

HOLY CRAP....what a great name. I love the city she's from too. And if she married co-conspiritor Michael L. Hoover, 56, of Westerly, R.I.; she would be Brenda Phenis-Hoover

damn we have some intelligent ~and~ good looking people around here.

Damn, you know you're right they both could be a models ~~ Let's have a poll.

Now for something completely different . . .

It must have been the McD's HQ. It would be really tough for someone at the printing co. to get away with it. My bf is a press operator and there are always security guards watching over something (paid for by the customer). He's printed blank credit cards, trading cards (they did a nascar trading card series and even the scrap/errors had to go to the customer) and lots of other cool things. Usually if it is nothing big (like posters for the Art Institute or wrapping paper) he gets to bring a bag/box of it home. The security guard at the printing company was the head of the ring. From ABC News archives No employees of McDonald's were involved in the scam. Attorney General John Ashcroft today said that employees of Simon Marketing Inc., the Los Angeles-based company hired to run the games for McDonald's, allegedly figured out how to direct accomplices to pick up big prize tickets and then split the winnings with them. The arrests in operation "Final Answer" were announced by Ashcroft and Thomas Pickard, acting director of the FBI. McDonald's Corporation Chairman and CEO Jack M. Greenberg said in a statement that they were "shocked and stunned" to learn of the alleged scam and agreed to immediately cooperate with the FBI. He insists "millions of McDonald's customers legitimately won prizes over the years, from free food and drinks to cash and merchandise." In addition, to "right this wrong," the company announced they will offer a new game where customers will be eligible to win prizes valued at $10 million from Aug. 30 through Sept. 3 in an "Instant Give-Way." All eight individuals were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud, and felony complaints were filed against them in federal court in Florida. They are all in custody. Law enforcement authorities said the defendants were charged with fixing the outcome of McDonald's Monopoly, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and other McDonald's promotional games by controlling the distribution of the high-value prize pieces, such as the $1 million grand prize. FBI: the Scheme Began as Early as 1995 The FBI said the scheme began as early as 1995 and involved McDonald's Monopoly game promotion. The company has offered the Monopoly promotion for 10 years. It offers big prizes, including $1 million in cash, diamonds or gold, cars and vacations. Customers "collect to win" by gathering game pieces attached to drink cups or food packaging and working towards the prize of choice in each section on a game board available at McDonald's or at the company's Web site. The pieces are also redeemable for "instant win" prizes. This year McDonald's introduced a new Pick Your Prize, which gives winning customers the chance to select from one of three prize options in eight different categories. Those arrested are: Linda L. Baker, 49, of Westminster, S.C.; Noah D. "Dwight" Baker, 49, of Westminster, S.C.; John F. Davis, 44, of Granbury, Texas; Andrew M. Glomb, 58, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Michael L. Hoover, 56, of Westerly, R.I.; Ronald E. Hughey, 56, of Anderson, S.C.; Jerome P. Jacobson, 58, of Lawrenceville, Ga., and Brenda S. Phenis, 50, of Fair Play, S.C.
