I knew I didn't imagine the prancing horses!

Men's field hockey? They sure don't get much coverage on Sports Center.

That wouldn't be very vegan!

Is the kid hummus made with kids?

Of course, the problem is tossed out if there is a fourth door...

The prancing horses and tennis were on the Oxygen network. I got roped into watching that for a little bit with my fiance. How the heck is THAT an Olympic event..?!

That said, I watched a pretty decent spread of all the games. Some events I intentionally skipped (equestrian, Olympic boxing), but was still surprised at how many I, the Olympics sports fan, ended up watching, and getting into. I mean, who knew they even HAD men's field hockey?!

I'd love to see the US field a Handball team for 2012....or at the very least, an Olympic Lawn Darts team. Who's in?

The volleyball hotties talk? Who knew? ;)

Paul: Amazon MP3: Pretty Darned Good

You know, Amazon MP3 makes me wonder why I should use iTunes at all for music. So I generally don't. Good stuff, great sales... they won me over.

iTunes has a better browsing experience though.

Do you remember the NBC Triple Cast of the Olympics several years ago? I wish we had had that, because I feel like I only every saw two or three different events. Where were the prancing horses? The tennis? The synchronized roller derby?

They moved to Willingboro, it is still right off of route 130, just head north on it for an additional 20 minutes give or take and you should see it. Its now called the Festival Marketplace or something along those lines

I actually found her and her volleyball partner very annoying personalities. Good atheletes, but incredibly annoying (and thanking George Bush after having won the gold? WTF?).

I'm going to get my Misty May fix by watching her on Dancing with the Stars.

Weird how so many people got it wrong. The answer should be more obvious if one takes into account that the game host KNOWS where the car is - he looked behind the doors!

The monty hall problem was featured in the recent movie "21", and also in the book "the curious incident of the dog in the night time" - which actually has a very good explanation of the problem.

I worked at the park ridge location on nw highway my junior and senior year at taft high school. 1978-79.
that place was blast to work at. the owners had no clue what we employees were up to. many a high time was had. I would like to take this opportunity to thank YDD for suppling our senior prom picnic with food and utensils, unbeknownst to them. best time was trying to tp the tree in front of the restaurant and being stopped by park ridge police. hated broiler night.

Really? There is a new one here and I was weirded out by the random brands. You encouraged me to look there again, especially since there is still no TJ's within 50 miles of here.

Nik: My Mystery Actress

nospam@example.com (Nik) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:45:29 -0400

Okay! I also just saw her in a Bounty commercial and couldn't stand the mystery any longer. I have had a crush on her since the notorious witch sitcom (they were fools to cancel it) and, other than my beloved wife, she is the only other female that makes me do a double take. Then I typed a search on "actress, bounty, sitcom, witch" and ended up here (along with getting a Wikipedia lesson). So, now the question is... does Corinne Bohrer have a fan site?
