The $150 million dollar question
 

I don't know what's worse, that she's a cheapskate, or that she's linked with Ally Sheedy. Bleccccch.

The old Thurgreed would have never typed Ha! in a post.

(I miss him. *sniff*)

Mrs. Not Bob has one like that (except it isn't cashmere) -- she bought it several months ago when she was in TCOTU, and is quite happy to wear it.

Granted, we live in Podunkville, so YMM, as they say, V. For context, she dislikes Ugg boots, never wears hose with open-toed shoes, likes those ugly designer purses, and thinks that SJP looks cute in the Gap ads.

Speaking of missing posters, where did str8 go? I miss hearing about who was dissing who at the Ivy, and the latest news from the Debbie Gibson fan club.

Memories, of the way we used to be.....

She was hot in St. Elmo's Fire.

Since we only have brief internet conversations, I don't know if you are bitter or not. I only mentioned it because the two instances that you brought up as being 'bones' both involved teams that beat the Yankees. Granted, there aren't a lot of current baseball examples on the list.

It's all marketing. They are expecting 5 million people for the parade tomorrow (yes, clearly the members of Red Sox nation need a life). How many of those people will be buying the Wheaties box to display in their basement Rec Rooms along with the photographs that boston.com and the Boston Herald are hawking. It will give them something to look at until the inevitable DVD of the season comes out around Christmas.

Even if they had won the WS last year, any team that comes back from 3-0 against any other team deserves recognition. This year David Ortiz happened to be one of the faces associated with that event. Damon is just odd looking, nobody would know who Mark Bellhorn was and even up here we're sick of the Schilling bloody sock stuff.

Which reminds me of question I've had - does baseball have a higher percentage of born again Christians than other sports or is it just the Red Sox?

I remember when she was doing promotion work for GI Jane, she went on Letterman and did a running front flip coming onto the set. Her tits did not move. That's right; her tits did not move.

A man could get hurt. That's all I'm saying.

Good point. Maybe I'm the only one who wonders why they don't do it every year. I don't really give a shit that Wheaties has some strange reasons behind their assignment of box covers -- hell, maybe it's all market-based. It just seems strange to me. And if I were a Boston fan, I wouldn't like it.

What's weird is that they seem to consistently do it for Super Bowl Champs but pick and choose for baseball. What makes one year's champs better than another?

I used the examples you gave me. But, who am I going to pick out of the recent years that you wouldn't think I was bitter about? Anaheim? Florida? They all beat us.

Instant collector's item. I agree. That answers why it was done. I just wondered if Boston fans felt the way I did about whether it should have been done, but you seem to have addressed that already and do so again in your next paragraph.

Okay. I see your point. I disagree, but that makes sense.

I don't know about being born again. But sooo many players are deeply religious.

Talk about suspension of disbelief.

Well since she's already had a couple of breast augmentations, maybe one more won't hurt.

LONDON - British biotechnology firm AorTech is moving towards clinical trials of what it says are “next generation” breast implants that are less prone to leaking and rupturing and feel more natural.

Elast-Eon implants could take 10 percent of the $600-million-a-year global market, Chief Executive Frank Maguire told Reuters on Friday following a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Breast implants have been around since the 1960s but have been dogged by controversy since the 1990s. Critics say silicones often leak from the gel-filled devices, causing cancer and neurological diseases.

As a result, some 90 percent of the U.S. market uses saline-filled implants. Scientists have been working on cross-linking the molecules in silicone-gel implants to prevent leaching, but their texture has become increasingly firm.

“Now they’re too firm,” said Maguire. “And saline implants are like bags of water.”

Trials of implants filled with peanut oil and soy-bean oil have come to nothing, he said.
“Elast-Eon is a very clean material that is free of the silicone oil that has been leaching out of gel-filled devices for the past 20 to 30 years,” said Maguire. “And we can move back into the softer range that more naturally simulates breast tissue.”

I guess there's something about their business model I don't understand -- I thought Wheaties was selling cereal. I saw that box and thought, "we are many, we are happy, and we eat breakfast!"

At the risk of yet again failing to stp about BoSox-related stuff, in most of the country, I think people care more about football than baseball. More fans in most places, I think, would rather their team won the Super Bowl than the World Series. New England is an exception to this, though.

Yes. Absolutely. Call it what you want, but a poncho is a poncho. Makes people wonder what you're covering up.

Matching goofballs. That's funny. My mom made matching outfits for us once - I hated it. What is it with moms and the matching outfits anyway?
