What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland “You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. ...
I’m still shaking my head over this one. My quote at 11am today: Man, I just hope we don’t embarrass ourselves. After watching a well-coached, well-played game from the UK Wildcats, I still can’t believe that’s the same team that played LSU just a few months ago. They had a stellar opening drive, adjusted their game-plan against the Clemson pass-rush, then just lit-up the stadium for 21 unanswered points. As my pall Jeff says, the game really wasn’t as close as the 28-20 score would indictate–we owned Clemson today. ...
This shot says it all: It’s 1966. Real Formula cars. Real formula one drivers (Brabham, Clarke, Rendt…all legends). Filmed on 65mm Panavision at the real racetracks. In my opinion, they should never make another racing flick. None could be better than John Frankenheimer’s 3-hour epic Grand Prix. I got the DVD for Christmas, putting it on my list purely by reputation–this is the same instinct that I used in buying “Grand Turismo” for Playstation. ...
Totally contrary to the “Never make a dealer an offer” strategies of Dave Ramsey, This blog is an interesting (if slanted) view from a guy who’s been there, done that.
Much like Sherman’s March to the Sea, Team Combs and I are engaged in a Christmas march to the mountains: Today, we’re sacking Louisville, tomorrow Georgetown, and Wednesday afternoon my Mom & Dad’s house. On Christmas today, Joey arrived from his dad’s as we gorged on Cathy’s wonderful breakfast casserole. We’d already opened presents–I got an assortment of Craftsman tools, Whitney received her Kenmore canister vacuum cleaner, and we opened most of Stu, Cathy, and Rachel’s gifts. ...
I’ve spent the better part of three dull, lifeless days watching a marathon of Star Trek: Voyager and wanted to comment on it. LAME! I’ve listened to Jeff complain about the “venting plasma from the port nacelle” problem, and it seems every episode I’ve seen has something to do with time travel or the hollo-deck. I’ve commented several times watching these episodes how these idea were great–the first time I saw them on “Next Generation”. ...
Yeah, pretty lame. The first season, everyone was… Jeff Roberts - Dec 6, 2006 Yeah, pretty lame. The first season, everyone was especially two-dimensional, but then I thought that of TNG at first. For some reason the girls and I got hooked on Voyager, though and I’ve seen all but one episode…and now that we have NetFlix I’ll have to check for it :-) ...
Okay, let me get this out of the way. I’m a heterosexual man, and Daniel Craig is damn sexy. And he can act. He plays Bond in the raw–all power and ego, a “blunt instrument” of death. Marvelous! Yet, we find Craig’s Bond compelling, even disturbingly human. He’s an orphan, sponsored through the best of Britain’s schools, fresh off his first two kills for MI-6. When we first meet him, he’s found a like for killing, but by the tragic ending of the movie two hours on, he knows how much of his soul he destroyed in acquiring that taste for blood. ...
So…I’m at home, totally stir-crazy. Do like like my couch though…my I’ve been spending lots of quality time on it for the past day or so. Gloomy outside, with a steady rain. Currently reading “Husband Coached Childbirth” by Dr. Bradley
So…I’m at work, totally stir-crazy. Do like lik… Jeff Roberts - Dec 5, 2006 So…I’m at work, totally stir-crazy. Do like like my Tempurpedic Seat Cushion though…
Guess what my PE guy got me for Christmas?! a Holiday Coffee sampler from Peet’s I thought I was gonna break-down in tears…
n. The spirit of the time; general trend of thought or feeling characteristic of a particular period of time. This time at LXK is weird, as it is every year…there’s a combination of languor and pressure. Customers will be irate one minute, gone on vacation the next, and managers sway between micromanagement and “Have a Merry Christmas!” Maddening. * * * Thoughts on the way into work: I love cars, but ultimately, they’re (very breakable) things that don’t last very long. ...
Jeff’s in-law wedding adventure, with pics! Jeff, knifing through the jungle, machete in one hand, blue-steel revolver in another…ready for anything, even a UT-Martin fan!
If programming languages were women
“Ouch!”
can we let all the morons who think they can do be… Whitney - Dec 5, 2006 can we let all the morons who think they can do better have a go at it - and then make them sit through the call in shows where morons who can’t properly speak english slander them voraciously? Indeed! There are a few thankless jobs in sports: ...
So, I get back from lunch, and someone’s brought an ice cream cake from DQ for the area. I go down and help myself to a slice, and I ask what the occasion is. Everyone looks around nervously. “Tell him, Sue.” “You tell him, Gary” “_____’s dad died.” ???? “Yeah, they weren’t close.” Apparently.
what….did it say “Congratulations!” or something… Whitney - Dec 4, 2006 what….did it say “Congratulations!” or something on it? No, thankfully it was blank…just an ice-cream cake. Saddens me, though…estranged relationships father-to-son, estranged for eternity now, maybe.
