A little Duff-Bell for the am … the lowering of interest rates means nothing compared to sellers actually lowering prices … why do we think this? Because the modified mortgages are still defaulting six and eight months down the road … here’s hoping this Jay Leno-at-10 pm story is just a rumor … from the increasingly large teachers-are-idiots file … just a guess, but a year from now, Hank Paulson will have cemented a far worse legacy than GWB … brawling at Chuck E. Cheese? … darn, looks like photoshop’s the reason Jessica Alba’s calendar looked so great …

Fig bars are a highly underrated Little Debbie treat.

Hank Paulson’s legacy will, and already does suck, but he can’t touch Dubya.

Leave an oatmeal creme pie in the car on a warm day, and when you return, you’ll have yourself a ticket to Flavortown.

The most amazing thing about the Alba “photoshops” is how they actually change the angle the pictures were taken from and the direction she’s looking. Also, she looks awesome in the before-photos.

CRM, are we going to have to separate you and fetch again?
December 9th, 2008 at 8:36 am
i’d want to know how my junk looked on camera too

Kristen Bell is hot but they killed her character off on Heroes in the past two episodes.
Also, Jessica Alba’s boobs look like the only unphotoshopped things in those photos. Good for us.

i just want to put in a vote for chuck e. cheese as the coolest “restaurant” for anyone aged 6-12.
that place seriously rocked back in the day.
i was dominant at skee-ball.

Nice jump off from the mortgage article to:
Billy Ripken finally talks about the f*ck face card Rovell story

The camera subtracts 4 inches. At least that’s what I tell my e-girl friends.

alba looks great before the edits. who cares if it was photoshopped.

@NDub: I didn’t watch last nights ep, did they really kill her off?
December 9th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Well the previous Monday ended with Sylar about to cut her head off and take her powers. This week’s opened with him covered in blood, her head sliced open and then he burns the body, igniting the flames with her electrical ability. Pretty sure she’s dead.
Did anyone see Steve Young nearly get drilled with a cup from a disorderly fan during last night’s postgame SportsCenter? He was about four words into his analysis and this cup smashes on the desk and nearly drills him in the face. They cut to a three person shot and Emmitt was mean mugging the crowd. Golden stuff.

There are few things better than an Oatmeal Creme Pie! Putting down a whole box wasn’t a problem before I went to detox.
December 9th, 2008 at 8:56 am
ah, forgot about that. I’ve been slowly losing interest in this season since it’s been all over the place with characters. very disappointed she’s gone.
December 9th, 2008 at 8:57 am
that Little Debbie article is great.
1A. Star Crunch 1B. Oatmeal Creme Pie >>>>> All else
They’re building a Hooters right near that Chuck E Cheese’s. This is only going to increase alcohol consumption for parents and lead to more fights.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Hooters and Chuck E Cheese should merge. It would be a place for both kids and parents. Also, you Chuck E Cheese might get some food that doesn’t completely suck into Hooters.

glad you read them. sometimes, i wonder if anyone clicks those top links. just feel like talking more than sport sometimes.

TBL…fantastic article on football in the south. good find.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Yeah there’s far too many characters and some storylines are clustered. The show is not what it was in season one. This season has had some highs but definitely more lows. I’m fine with her character being gone, as she was one of a few that were/are expendable.

tbl: agreed. dedicated daily reader here.
Disagree on Leno, though. While he’s not the coolest, hippest guy around, Conan has become, to me, more unwatchable than when I just tolerated him. Jimmy Fallon will be an unmitigated Hindenberg only matched in recent history by Chevy Chase’s famous foray into late-night.

I resemble that remark.
