Actually, it's a fairly kick-ass engine. And, it evokes, for a lot of 38+ guys, memories of some past hot hemi cars.

Does this make you hot?

I saw a TV commercial that showed a guy being more confident and sucessful just by getting a viagra prescription. People at a party thought he'd lost weight and shit.

I saw this too, but figured that Viagra can't be that great, and that they used a guy who'd recently lost a lot of weight.

But then I've never taken it -- am I really missing out?

And Fox needs to work on their signal if they want to air playoff games.

And why the fuck did they keep a banner up that read "NFL Playoffs" on their ticker, instead of the down and yards to go, almost all the time?

I know its the fucking playoffs, you morons. But I can't be expected to keep track of the downs and yardage when I have to walk over to the fridge to get a beverage...

Ha! I was looking for a picture of Coltrane for use as an avatar, but couldn't find one.

It was a gift from ratio girl, so I guess the answer to your question is "Yez."

I think Bilmore would appreaciate a Reality Rundown. Whats on? Whats hot? Whats not? Whats wroth watching?

For example, is tonight the second or third Average Gentile and is it worth jumping in on at this late point? Does AI start tonight? Is there some new shit I should be watching?

I don't watch AI, and it wasn't reported at realityblurred, so I have no idea when it premieres. I'd rather watch 50 back to back editions of Star Search than 15 minutes of that horrible show.

I did watch some Spike TV last night -- The Jim Henson Experiment (like his Talk Soup era, but felt more forced), that crazy Japanese mega challenge show (no idea of the name, but it has mega or something like that somewhere in the name), and 2 back-to-back episodes of Blind Date.

I haven't watched Average Joe except for the elimination part last week. It should be on again tonight though.

I will likely watch the RW-RR challenge tonight. And I did catch parts of the first episode of RW San Diego last week. Ugh.

Speaking of Favre's ridiculous pass (that did indeed lose them the game -- at least partially), what the fuck was up with Bennett in the Titans game?

It was 4 degrees at game time.* By the fourth quarter, they were discussing the temperature in Kelvin. That'll lead to some drops.


* I am on record belittling the concept of wind chill, but I will acknowledge that when it's 4 degrees out and windy, that feels pretty cold.

Of course. And when it replies, I will be unable to see the reply and will only see a pesky phantom message and will have leagl or e/o clean out my box* to get rid of said phantom message.

*not that one.

Tonight is the second episode of Loser Joe. But tonight is when the HOT guys show up and some of them look totally hot. So worth it to tune in if you want to see the HOT guys play dodge ball with the losers.
