this is fucking stupid. can you imagine the cost of all the signage? well timed.
and it isn’t anything like Kentucky Fried Chicken changing to KFC. everyone already called them KFC. Pizza Hut sucks anyway.

YES! about damn time, jErsey.
i urge everyone to check out the Alex from Lost link. She’s 21. He’s 57. She looked great in the season finale (or was it the one before that?) and now she’s dating a guy who could be her father.

I thought she might have been Goldblum’s daughter in real life – look very similar maybe? she’s is hot in those pants.
“The Hut” in my neighborhood closed, put a sign saying “rebuilding be back soon..” and then they literally tore the thing to the ground and started over. Must be getting their asses handed to them by the papa.

Pujols is better than them both so he should get more than A-rod, of course I doubt that would happen.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:42 AM
Pujols is a Boras client, right? Hard to imagine him leaving the Cardinals, but Boras would have him sign with the Nats if it meant an extra $10 and bragging rights for another record setting deal.

Baja Fresh is very good. A nice change of pace. Still Chipotle is my go-to. I don’t think there are any in Clev, unfortunately. At least I haven’t seen one.

Any country in history that has embraced this lifestyle has ended up in the garbage heap of history?
Wouldn’t everybody be in the garbage heap at some point, even the ones that steadfastly held to their straight beliefs?
It was funny what he said, even while oversimplifying, about people being proud of being transgender, though. I’ll bet even the gays are sick of begin lumped in with transgenders. Right TBL?

She also gets naked in Brokeback. She is probably my favorite celeb.

I dont care enough about soccer to call it stupid, but how exactly does the US go from terrible to advancing by winning 1 game, and how is that not stupid?
For another stupid question, what the F is a “hybrid” club? Part iron, part wood, does it run on electricity, do I have to look like a girly man to use it?

I agree that mock drafts for NBA are stupid, because there is so much wheeling and dealing. T Mac is going to get traded Thursday, and that’s a bigger deal than where DeMar DeRosan gets picked, because of the value of that contract, and the potential for a buyout.
The draft is really secondary to all the wheeling and dealing, especially this stinkbomb.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:05 AM
so you’re saying you can’t quit her
i wish i could
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:08 AM
Because the calls of the US being terrible were overstated. They played 1 horrible game against Brazil (look at how Brazil embarrassed Italy to see that it might have been about how good Brazil is and not about how bad the US is). The Italy game looked to be a very even match for 33 minutes until the shitty red card dropped the US down a man. That’s too much for virtually any team in the world against Italy.
That said, Bradley finally sat Beasley (forever, please?) and inserted some youth. Great game by the US side.
They will likely get blasted by Spain, but most teams do (15 wins in a row and 35 games since a loss).
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:12 AM
Giggity!
Anne Hathaway’s lips are hot.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 AM
Because everyone other than Brazil bent over and took it up the ass at least twice in that group. The US just happened to allow the least penetration of the 3.

Helen of Troy would have been stinky,hairy, and fat. There is a lot to be said against the modern world, but it is the golden age of poontang.

Not when she’s played by Diane Kruger.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 AM
As a Hokie fan, it’s funny that Nick Sorenson has had a longer NFL career than Peter Warrick considering he spent the entire 2000 Sugar Bowl chasing the back of Warrick’s jersey.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:49 AM
Oh yeah. He got the “free” Dillards clothes and played in that game.
/big-program college football justice
Interestingly, Lavernues Coles was kicked off the team for the same thing. He’s still in the NFL too
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:51 AM
To be historically accurate, she should have been played by Cathy Bates
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 AM
Agreed. And Moe’s is way, way, way, way below the other two.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 AM
Chad Ford hates mock drafts. Isn’t he the one who gave the Pistons an A+ for the 2003 draft (Darko, Delfino, some Greek dude)? There’s some correlation there.
Anne Hathaway is hit or miss for me too. Saw parts of Get Smart two nights ago and she looked good.
Also, that’s too bad about LOST’s Alex dating that nerd Jeff Goldblum.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:02 AM
I give Moe’s an edge on Qdoba because of those heart-attack nachos they have.

Reviews Of Links Today — Interesting Batch Today TBL Godfather:
1) TV Sites Online
http://www.tv-links.cc works for movies and shows along with rojadirect.com and channelsurfing.net for sports — good-bye cable or satellite subscription!
2) Pat Robertson is right this time — transgendered too? C’mon!
3) Peter Warrick’s new humility is admirable though borne only out of necessity I think.
4) Ok I know you are thinking it as well, why don’t they post the photo of the hot teacher if that is the case in such cases? It is not as if it would make the news if she were ugly right? And what boy did not have a teacher crush at some point? It’s still wrong by the law and morally due to undue influence of a superior, but you cannot tell me that most 15-year old boys or older if she is hot won’t remember it and might even brag about it years later after he is over all the fuss or broken heart about it. This is the sort of thing that comes up around the rugby team or at some bachelor party and makes for a good tale years later.
5) Marcelo Lippi of Italy is in thin ice. Italy were greeted with tomatos upon returning from defeat to North Korea in the 1966 World Cup, and they ought to be greeted with the same when returning to Rome today after that disgraceful peformance. All they needed was one more goal even with a loss! And they could not do it against even Egypt with its suspect defense?
5) KJ in Sacramento — Please what a douchebag capital of a broke state. Next!
6) Sen. Boxer — At least she got that one right when the rest of the time she votes mostly wrongly.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:20 AM
A lot of these chicks never had a solid father figure, so like the one for Keith Olbermann this is what happens plus they are gold diggers too. And most of them have plenty of young guy action on the side.
But don’t get in too deep after that of course.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:21 AM
why don’t they post the photo of the hot teacher if that is the case in such cases?
Paolo, they did post the photo in this case…upper right hand corner

You have a point, though in the NFL I always thought it was dumb when some team wins its division going a woeful 9-7 or even squeaks in with 8-8, but then last year we had the Arizona Cardinals …
And in the NBA near .500 teams or less in the woeful Eastern Conference even make the playoffs …now that is lame!

Your Local Authentic Me+ican Restaurant In Las Vegas, Atlanta, or anywhere in the Southwest or California >>> Baja Fresh >>> Taco Bueno >>> Chipotle or Qdoba >>> Taco Bell

What the heck is Moe’s? On the East Coast that is a sporting goods store short for Modells!

which hot blonde? The preacher’s wife, or the little singing hottie. Both will probably end up in sex scenes with Jason, but the camera’s focus will be on Jason, as usual.
That MaryAnne shit is too weird for me. Plus, I hate that actress. I wish an Abomb would drop on Merlottes when Sookie wasn’t there, and MaryAnn and Tara were.
That guy eggs is weird. I love that big badass vampire Eric, too. I also hope they didn’t kill off the black guy, whatever his name is.
I think Bill will let those people go, but give the daughter visitation rights to her sister. I think he drinks the dad’s blood, though, to prove a point – not all of it, just some. He’s too sympathetic to kill a whole family, including a little girl.

I dont care enough about soccer to call it stupid, but how exactly does the US go from terrible to advancing by winning 1 game, and how is that not stupid?
This is just a practice tourney for South Africa, but that format has been used forever, the 4 team robin. It’s not news how it works, or that soccer uses it. It has been used, in this configuration, to world cups dating back to 86. They used it prior to that, but the scoring was different. If you think soccer doesn’t have enough scoring now, you should have tried watching world cup soccer in 1982.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:37 AM
Exactly, but once you fan those flamers there is no end to those flames and here we go …where does the “line” get drawn? That’s the problem now folks so good luck now that we are supposed to “embrace” also transgendered types.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Hey Wally, missed any of your previous soccer posts. Why not chime in when in matters more if you have such wisdom?
Great Monday morning goalie there. You got something to say like all that, say it in ADVANCE of the games. Don’t be a a Monday morning quarterback pussy like in that post. We read the news already you douche.

So this is the opposite of “In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then… they came for me… And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”
Does this mean you killed Anne Frank Paolo?

good stuff Paolo
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Taguchi, as “tolerant” as you profess to be, just be happy with yourself and go take another high hard one up the ass?
After that, then you can talk about your “tolerance” with absolutely no limits, except of course perhaps to those who hold certain religious views.

Eric Wynalda talking smack…effin hilarious.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:51 AM
I cannot rightly apprehend the confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement. So if I was tolerant (which I don’t remember professing to be) then I should get fucked in the ass to show my tolerance, because tolerace is about doing what your tolerant of, not being tolerant of what your tolerant of, since that is, aftr all, what I thought the word meant? You’ve given me a lot to think on today paolo.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:52 AM
Wynalda, if that is really him though, wow he really drinks a lot! Impressive candor!
They replaced him and Balboa, awful as they are, with Harkes and Lalas on ESPN/ABC. Lalas is only a tad better, but I hate them all as announcers.
The biggest injustice is to Tommy Smyth, whom I think they determined is not “American” enough due to his accent. Now that is discrimination plain and simple, as he like my parents and so many others except so many from Me+ico is a LEGAL immigrant!
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 AM
Also, if i am supposed to take “another high hard one” this would mean that I have previously engaged in anal buggery. What about that experience was not enough to allow me to talk about my “tolerance with absolutely no limits?” Do you have to get fucked in the ass at least twice to be a tolerant person? So confusing.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:55 AM
Taguchi, YOU chose to go on the offensive agasinst me personally not just make statements of tolerance above. I find nothing funny about the WWII-era genocide, and I have family members who had to live through that awful era. Re-read your comments again. If you are trying for humour, stay the fuck away from anything implying the Holocaust too.
If you are not taking another high hard one as you deserve for that comment above, think about that today chump.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Only you can answer this question for yourself Taguchi. Maybe you like high hard ones. Great for you if you are honest that you do. No need to share all that here though. Certainly you seem to approve highly and are quite defensive of such an otherwise abhorrent practise to most of us here.
If you are in the closet Taguchi, this might not be the best place to come out. Go for it perhaps somewhere else.
Wow do you have a lot to think about today now!
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 AM
I didn’t make a joke, I pointed out how arguments for tolerance of the removal of civil liberties during World War II sound an awful lot like arguments against the expansion of civil liberties in our own lives, and how, as you just pointed out, how when something awctually affects us (when the nazi’s came for the speaker of the poem, when you are a gay person) you tend to have more empathy than if you are an outsider. um, chump.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 AM
@dirt: The preacher’s wife. But you know she has an angle in all this. At some point, there will be some type of confrontation between Jason and someone else, probably Eric. I am real happy not a lot of people have read the books… hard to spoil anything. Are you a big fan of the show?
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 AM
So that last like about Anne Frank was not even a joke? I am not joking when I say you should go take a few more high hard ones today then and think about your own sexual orientation before coming on here and ranting like that. Get out of your closet somewhere else Taguchi leave us alone here with your “jokes.”
I understood your point otherwise, but even “tolerance” has its limits for an ordered society throughout history. On the basis of your line of reasoning for example, why wouldn’t the doors be opened to bigamists and polygamists too? If you were not “tolerant” of them as well in all your phoney “do-gooder” possibly also flamer ways, you would be a hypocrite by your reasoning here for all to see.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:12 AM
You resort to a lot of name calling to back up your jumble of confusing ideas. You know what they say ’bout that. I’m done with this, other than to point out that “ordered society throughout history” is code for 1945 Memphis, Tennessee, and that that tolerance argument (people are gonna be marrying goats!) sounds real good when Hannity and Rush make it too, and is no less a backass justification for bigotry.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:13 AM
Are you a big fan of the show?
guilty pleasure. i’m a big fan of trashy tv.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:19 AM
Well Taguchi like I said you can go take another high hard one, as you have done nothing here to deny that you enjoy it, and we will have to agree to disagree in this “free” country, or at least it should be, and let the chips fall where they may with the entire public to see to judge our comments should they wish to do so.
I’ve read and seen enough of your commentary to recognise your hypocrisy about being “tolerant.” Those folks are only “tolerant” with their exceptions, and at least like most folks I admit readily where government or otherwise lines ought to be drawn.
No, I loathe right-wing talk radio when I say all this too mind you, so don’t blame all opposition on your closeted flaming left wing today on AM talk radio just as the likes of those guys blame all opposition to their views on “unpatriotic” liberals.
I made a point to state my opinion. YOU resorted first to conjecture to make what I thought was a joke with genocidal era association as well as another hypcritical “I’m tolerant but I make exceptions too but don’t want to tell you them” argument.

@Paolo, what’s up with the sudden homophobia man? Your constant insinuations of buggery are off-putting.
Yeah, but not where rights are removed.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:42 AM
G-Man, thou dost protesteth I think to much as well.
Three potential solutions:
1) We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
2) If you are as insistent as Taguchi, I don’t care whether you give him a high hard one or take one from him or the likes of him. Go for it, but keep it to yourselves please. I am well within my rights to be disgusted by any “tolerance” of such acts as well as the acts themselves, and you are well within yours not to “tolerance” my thoughts on the matter.
3) Get a sex change then go for it I wish you well.
