OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Hey,,,we fought the American Revolution so we could speak American instead of English. Well, that and English food (Sorry Tonker- if you like eels, that's cool I guess)

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it, Fork.  There's nothing like a nice plate of jellied eels to go with your warm beer.  David Beckham gets them flown (or possibly, swum?) to him in Madrid, and a man of his obvious taste should know.

Besides, everybody knows that all Americans, deep down inside, would love to be British.  Come on, 'fess up - you know you love it.

Not me, I just want to live in whatever bizarre, alternate reality it is that Milford exists in.
A day job? In an office? My worst nightmare come true!

If nothing else, Posh Becks looks kinda like an eel.

Oh, and you've got Paul Weller...I'll give you that one.

Ah, the Modfather.  He's indisputably the World's coolest man - cooler than the other side of my pillow.  He appeared at the Brit Awards the other day, wearing a four-button navy blue pinstripe suit.  He was looking SHARP, and left everyone else feeling a little shabby, I would imagine.

I went to see him live in Munich a couple of years ago (with Ocean Colour Scene as his "backing" band), and there were only about 200 of us there.  Bloody marvellous.
Your toilet's broken, Dave, but I fixed it.

Saw the Jam in '82, I think my ears are still ringing from that one.

The Gallaghers keep trying to be two John Lennons, they'd be better off trying to be two Modfathers

If they would only go the way of the Stone Roses, I can enjoy them a lot more.  Britain also has Q 4 Music magazine, which is one of the cooler music magz around, if onl;y the British music scene is so like a soap opera, mostly thanks to the Gallaghers.  Good airplane reading fun.

Anybody else catch this guy's performance on the tube this afternoon? Very Farnsworthian. Many impressive fastballs set up a breaking ball he couldn't locate. In the end he gave up a run that tied the game. The defense wasn't his friend but he managed to fan three on mostly heaters that move all over the place. If he learns to throw that breaker within spitting distance of the strikezone he'll be filthy. Til then he'll be in Iowa dry shaving his...you know.

I caught it.  I liked Brownlie, too.  He's got a hard curve and bushy sideburns.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

And let's hope Lucky stays healthy.  Watching Angel Pai Gow patrol center brought back memories of Dwight Smith out there.

I'm sure if Lucky gets hurt we can just rush Pie to the majors. That should go fine.

You know I saw it. This is my guy after all.

He looks like what I expect. A young guy with lots of talent but he doesnt have a breaking ball at all. His fastball is pretty sick, but I can't see him being successful over an extended period of time in the majors right now. Too bad I've already latched on to the Aardsma bandwagon like Jumbo Jim H. latches onto a long john.

Addendum: JD, thats a sweet avatar there.
