WTF is TO talking about. Saying "I've always had great relationships with my QB's" ??
He questioned Garcia's sexuality, threw McNabb under the bus & says he's the one who lost the Super Bowl, said Bledsoe probably shouldn't be the starter, but now he's all about Romo after the guy takes a fucking vacation a week before a playoff game??!
As a team leader & veteran of the game, he needed to call Romo out onto the carpet on that one. Imagine if Eli took a vacation. What do you think Michael Strahan would have said?! Eli would be out of NY. Guaranteed.
About that, and the crying. I was listening to Jim Rome this afternoon and I think he put the nail on the head. He said TO is basically just a bit crazy. It's not the best way to put it, but the guy is wound up tighter than most of the rest of the world, be it crying defending "his qb", or freaking out on a qb who's probably better. It's kinda the same thing, just opposite extremes almost like a bipolar kind of thing.
Now that said, you never see him freak out about all his dropped balls. It's always somebody else.

I did it years ago. It does work in an odd sort of way. We had a list of shit to look for off the internet before we did it. Also, for the record, I don't think I was stoned.
I would say that's the way to do it because I only remember certain things. The things I remember
"Time" starts when you first see the lady who becomes the Wicked Witch. (That is, she's pedaling a bicycle right as you hear clock gears turning and such)
"Money" starts right as it goes fro Black and White to color.
While the Scarecrow is singing his song when they first meet him right as he moves either onto or off of the yellow brick road during his dance you hear the line "the lunatic is on the grass". I think that happens more than once.
The heartbeat at the end of the album happens right as they're coming up to the Tin Man.
There was more, but that's all I remember right now, it was probably 7-8 years ago that I did it. It was pretty trippy, but obviously just somebody with too much time on their hands. Funnily enough the Blind Melon album Soup was in the cd player next and the Tin Man beat on his knees during his dance along with a drum fill.
It's trippy enough to check out if you're bored, but I suggest doing what we did and have the list of things to look for because there's a lot I would have missed.

Cell phone easy.
I bought one for the first time a couple weeks ago actually. I functioned fine without it for 31 years though.

If I was a talented singer, the last place I would go is American Idol. Sure, you get a bit of fame, but it lasts less than 15 minutes and then you have no chance because you will always be associated with the show.
That's how it seems to be anymore. I believe there have been some incredible singers on that show through the years but if I was a great singer I wouldn't touch that show with a ten foot pole at this point.
I've heard and agreed for years that the best thing to do for these people is to get on the show and do fairly well, but not win it. If you win you are basically a slave to whatever the producers want you to do for a while. The contracts for the losers aren't near as long or strict. So you can do what you want, or what other people might be telling you is better for you to do once you're not under their umbrella anymore.
I suppose Kelly Clarkson is an example of even being able to do the same thing if you win, but she did have to wait longer.
#1036 Re: The Garden » Masturbators come together in Copenhagen » 911 weeks ago
Masturbation is positive, safe and an erotic alternative," she said ahead of the event on May 31, to take place at a yet to be decided venue with separate rooms for men, women and those who don't mind mingling.
I would bet a lot of money that the separate room for "those who don't mind mingling" has tons of men and very few women.

And because I found it and laughed just as hard 15 years later, here's Spinal Tap talking to Metallica that I was talking about earlier

This Is Spinal Tap is one of my all time favourite movies. Great that Guest is being recognized for his musical contributions. I know his songs were never meant to be serious, but he fooled a lot of people into thinking Spinal Tap was a real band (I guess in many respects Spinal Tap is a real band). Anyone ever see A Mighty Wind? Think Spinal Tap with folk music. The film was a fun one.
Yeah, A Mighty Wind is pretty much as good as Spinal Tap.
It's not music related, but another Christopher Guest one that is great is Best In Show.

haha no doubt....i mean at first that song rocked...but now that the joke wore off its a shame that such an amazing riff was used as a joke
Yeah, when it first came out and I was 14 it was pretty cool. Hey, they yell FUCK a lot.
Once I got a bit older the ridiculousness of it comes out pretty easy.

Spinal Tap rules. I've never seen the Live Earth thing so I'll have to look for it.
I do remember years ago (I think it was at the Freddie Mercury Tribute) they were talking to Metallica, Kirk I think, whereever it was, it wasn't long after the self-titled album came out.
"So, Metallica Representative, where did you come up with the original idea of doing an all black album?"
