In the post-game, as they showed scenes of Bassett being helped off the field, the announcers in Vancouver sat in stunned silence until Alexi or maybe the other guy finally said, "I don't know what to say to you Laura Bassett, except that I am sorry."

Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group
I think it's cute that you all have offices. I have a desk on an open floor, with an eighteen-inch-high divider between me and the facing desk, and another desk right next to me.

I imagine that makes the unsolicited, no-strings-attached fellatio rather awkward. Or maybe just more exciting!

I guess I would have to learn to masturbate in public.

Now I sing "what's wrong with that?"
Does this mean I am old? Hopelessly middlebrow? Both? |
No. It means you were insufferably pretentious then.

If you are listening to this type music for a similar reason you're fine. c.f. buying tickets to see McCartney or Billy Joel.
PS I hate the Beatles.
PPS we also need to hear GGG's thoughts on the issue. I believe Patti Smith wrote "Pissing In A River" about time she spent with him?

I love the Beatles. I always have and I always will. If you say you hate the Beatles, no matter your other qualities, I cannot help but fee a little less good about you.

Re: It's not time to make a change.
The ending of the England-Japan game was indeed as horrible as it gets for a player. There is no way to console this superb athlete. Damn.
Now to the serious business of kicking some Japanese butt on Sunday.

Well, the good news is that the press in her country is understanding and sensitive. And that her country is used to heartache, despair and disappointment. I can't imagine they'll be too rough on her.

Tell me about it - it's a wonder that Not Robert didn't get his ass kicked more often. And I've decided that I'm ok with liking silly love songs because I am getting older.
Oh, and Hank - re the Sirius channel near the Coffee House that you now listen to, could it be the Bridge?
And have you listened to Deep Tracks? When I had Sirius and was in a mood to listen to AOR, I did Classic Vinyl and Classic Rewind, with the occasional dive into Deep Tracks when I thought that the other two were getting annoying. Usually I was a Coffee House, Spectrum, Acoustic Estrogen, or Lesbian Grrls listener.
And an occasional venture to the Broadway Channel for a little Man of La Mancha or Company original cast recordings never hurts. |

If I were her, I would wake up this morning and just keep repeating, "I don't play for Colombia, I don't play for Colombia."

Because they are all clients? I have an "office" to maintain the idea of cliebt confidentiality. That, and so I can talk on the phone most of the day without bothering all the adjusters in cubes outside my "office".
