Since they've added GI Joe I decree that someone should start showing The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock again.

I used to have the Hallmark/Odyssey channel when I was in high school. At like 6 in the morning they use to have original episodes of Fraggle Rock on. I'm not talking about the cartoon version either. This was the real thing with the muppets and all. I used to watch it while I ate breakfast EVERY morning. It was AWESOME!
They also should bring back the Friday night "The Muppets Show". I know it's not the same without Jim Henson, but Damn that show was funny!

- I'm so bored at work. I have tomorrow off, but I'm going to the doctors and waiting for a plumber. The two aren't related.
- On the pub crawl website, there's a little message board. There's some tools from BC who go every year and can't drink and end up getting thrown out of bars and injured. One was talking shiznit, so I've picked up the smack-talk mantle, humiliating him with "BC can't beat UConn in b-ball" jibes. I hope he gets pissed and comes after me at the crawl, because they've been boring since I stopped getting loaded at them. I think the guy in question has a lopsided head. At the last one he got stuffed in a garbage can, thrown out of 3 bars, dropped a full bottle of beer, then picked it up and tried to keep drinking it, unaware that the bottle barely existed anymore. I'm not dealing with geniuses here.
- If you're in the Boston area Saturday, and want something to do that will take years off your life, come on down. E-mail me and I'll tell you where to go and what to drink.
- BC can't beat UConn in soccer either.

--What pub crawl is this again and how can I find out information on it? I'm not going to be in Boston until August, but my friend (who, sorry Rob, went to BC....) might want to go.
--My advisor in college looked and talked like Janice from the Muppets. Most disconcerting.
--"Now you know. And knowing is half the battle."

It's the Summer Pub Crawl for the Jimmy Fund. That's what we call irony. All the funds go to the Jimmy Fund. All are welcome, even people from BC. More info can be found at: http://www.offcourse.net/crawl/s02/index.asp
There's probably some pictures of me gathering money from young women with big breasts. And, yes, it was as fun as it sounds.

How do you tell someone is a ************-faced Alaskan? Snowshoes on the wrong feet? Sled dogs wobbly?

We think my little cousin has chicken pox. He's all itchy and has red bumps all over. He's been exposed so many times and hasn't caught them until now. We think he was exposed at church LOL-the last place someone would expect to catch them. I hated it but shingles were even worse. Now we have to make sure that I haven't got shingles, because I have a Drs appt today & they'll ask me if i've been exposed. He's crying because he's so itchy:(

--They try to dismantle their igloos to use the ice in mixed drinks.
--They tell jokes with punchlines like, "So I told him, it's not KING salmon it's Chinook!" and laugh uproariously.
--They corner women and ask if they know what an oosik is, and if they know how to use it.

'from the halls of foxboro stadium'" and they did! w00t!
Well done.

Oh no you didn't. And don't think those lines at the end will help.
I don't know why they don't call the state Chicago, because that's all there is. Illinois is an unfortunate roadstop on the way to California, while Maryland is a king amongst states. Keep making our corn, I'm getting hungry.
Soda. :)

Tonight I went to go visit my grandma in the hospital. Her triple bypass went well. She has to wear an oxygen mask 24/7. It's so depressing. She's doing well, but I hate to see her like this. I think I've cried so much that I don't have tears left. She has this cute little heart shaped pillow that the hospital auxilliary made, and people can sign it. I wrote "I LOVE YOU GRANDMA! I hope you feel better really soon. Love, Your favorite Grandaughter Chrissi" I wanted to spend the night there, but I couldn't. It's not fair.
I get to meet with my doctor tomorrow to talk about the treatment plan. I DON'T WANT TO GO DAMMIT! Sh!t, I just don't. I JUST GREW MY HAIR OUT, and now I have to lose it again. &%#*$@!!!!
We're all pulling for you.

I was at a zoo when I was 12 and we were taking pictures by some llamas, and all of a sudden one of them came over to me and started licking my head. I thought it was funny, so I called my mom's name to look. Apparantly, the little bastard was chewing my hair off. I pulled away, and I had tons of llama spit in my hair. I took a napkin to wipe the spit off, and 5 inches of a strip of my hair had been chewed off. My hair wasn't very long.
Good lord!

And she clapped for everything, including when our players got whistled for fouls (oops, guess I need to teach her some more things..I think she just enjoyed the sound of the whistle). But anyhoo, she was really well-behaved, which means she gets to go again with her favorite cousin sometime soon!
Solid.
-Sorry I wasn't around earlier today to pick your lunch for you, J, maybe tomorrow.
Luckily, the thread kind of took off so others picked up your slack.

I usually find out this sort of thing on legitimate news...sadly, the Daily Show is probably just as journalistically responsible as most local newscasts here.

He has one of the worst haircuts in the entire league. It defies description, aside from "bad".

Kidding, but it IS sad that the Daily Show has the more insightful political commentary than CNN or Fox News (both of who's programming consists of a bunch of blowhards shouting and interrupting each other). And network news is useless too.
Indeed.
--Around 2 this afternoon, my boss is heading out of town. He'll be gone Friday too. And then he's on vacation the whole next week!!! It's probably not a good sign that his absence makes me so freaking happy...
Sounds like you'll be taking it easy then.

i think i might pull out my un-ending open invitation to practices soon and see if i can scare them into working at getting the WILL to win up. they are losing faith in themselves... they have the ability.
The forwards and midfielders do. The defense, though...ugh. I have a feeling that most of the good play this weekend will be DC defending and the Revs attacking. The other end of the field will look more like a bloopers film.
DC: No Pope and Moreno makes Jason go something something.
Is there a depressed smilie?

Hope it isn't shingles.
Chicken pox aren't too bad when you're young. I looked at it as a 2 week vacation from school.
-Pizza for lunch. It was dead in there. The waitress decided that meant she could whisper, so I took it upon myself to shout my order, and thank her loudly whenever she came to our table.
-I need to go to the ATM and to pick up shampoo. I'll probably leave early for class and do it then.
-I don't know why I have this hyphen up. I don't have anything to say for it.

our defense was missing three of our starters, llamosa, pierce and hernandez. next game joey is out, but hernandez is back. i like hernandez joey llamosa and pierce with cullen and rooney in d-mids. it's seemed to be the players in those places when they have good games (oh i didn't put the backline in order)
mah taaaayyyyylor ;) put another soccer ball on "the taylor tally" last night. sweet deal. such a sweetheart.

Actually, the hair looked a lot better when it was shorter. Now he just looks like Puyol.

So, I just returned from the CD store, where I picked up RJD2 and the new Gorillaz vs. Space Monkeyz. And let me say, that RJD2 is worth every penny. I haven't gotten through it all yet. But it gets the Kris Seal of Approval as a good as ************ album....as ?uestlove of the Roots said, "this is the album that Moby SHOULD have made, if he could have" (or something to that effect). I think it sounds more like something Shadow would have done...but get your ass to the store and pick this up pronto.
The Gorillaz sounds good so far, but I have only listened to 2 songs.
I'm watching some Brazillian game on FSW...I don't know who's playing, but there's somebody on the blue team who's bad as hell.
OK...off to Robert RAndolph concert (yep, finally convinced one of my friends) :)

Pardon my ignorance, but what is RJD2?
+ Some organization here has to change their name because in acronym form it's OFUCC. No kidding.
+ The ex's ex-boss is in the Best of Portland. As are the Timbers supporters section.
+ This whole overweight people suing fast food restaurants is a load of crap. If we get more and more dumb lawsuits like this, the government will start to regulate everything for us, thanks to morons like that. "You can have a hamburger only on Mondays and Wednesdays, a cheeseburger only on Fridays". Idiots.
+ Borrowing from The Sports Guy on ESPN's Page 2, football jerseys I'd like to see on sale:
