DBD 10.22.09 If you prick me, do not I bleed?

PrintI think there are people here who think I don't feel. That I don't hurt. That just because I lack the requisite insecurities to avoid becoming a comedic pinata, that somehow I'm not a human being.
Well, that's just whack. Like crack. Because I can hurt. I can feel pain. And recently, there was something that hurt me.
See, we donate as much of our meager earnings here to the Cal Marching Band as we can. We have to take some out for taxes and business expenses (hooker and cocaine ain't cheap), but the rest we donate. Every penny we can get to them, we try. We know they are hurting and all those hookers and cocaine we send can only do so much! And in the past when we've donated money in honor of somebody, we got a sweet letter. To wit:
Starting tomorrow, all the Tournaments begin, Pac10 or otherwise. It becomes crunch time! Which is why, TedfordIsGod, we have a LOT of Screen Pass-related posts coming.
But before we get to all those in depth discussions of the screen pass, we thought we might have a little fun. So, we had our post on the CDT. And now, this bad boy on some rather random hilarity that fell into our lap the other day. Another thing that fell into our lap, recently, was some money. Just a small bit. Not a lot, really. We decided not to split it 5 ways, because we are all full of spite and rage against Yellow Fever. If you need to ask why, you clearly don't know Yellow Fever!
So, we sent the money off as a donation to the Cal Band. Then, we got this letter. Make sure to read it in its entirety:
So, my question is, what was Bob thinking as he signed this one? What could have been going through his mind about this epic stupidity???
Firstly, I had totally forgotten when TedfordIsGod got all pissed about that post on Screen Passes. That ranks up there about the time when Beastmode flipped his shit over the AtQ post on Ludwig.
Secondly, we get a sweet letter back, thanking the California Golden Blogs for their gift in honor of Danzig. Sweet! A gift in honor of Danzig. Ya! On official letterhead. With Robert Calonico's original signature! That might be worth something some day!
So, recently, we came into a bit more money and decided to make another donation to the California Marching Band. And I know now was my chance. My chance to live the dream.
To live the dream of having an original letter of Cal Band Letterhead with Robert Calonico's signature thanking the California Golden Blogs for their gift in honor of..............Penis Vaginersson.
Now, I went back and forth on that. Vagina Penisson? Vagina Penistein? Penis Vaggecchio? MarPenis Lynch? There were so many different permutations, but Penis Vaginersson seemed to the best bet. So, with no small amount of trepidation about the historic step I was understanding, I made the move. BAM!
Every day after wards, I waited by the mail just hoping, dreaming, waiting for the day. The day when that letter would come. And finally, the other day it was there. YES ! YUS! YES! DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!?!?
But wait, no, what's this, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The sentence thanking the Golden Blogs for their gift was CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT.
As the tears burned my cheeks and my body collapsed towards the ground, I knew I was crushed. Emotionally. The band. The very institution that had nurtured me from my Cal infancy to the immature toddler I am today had done this to me. They had cut me. They had hurt me. And I bled. Oh, how I bled. In my anger, in my RAGE, I sent this email off to their Executive Committee.
Hey we just donated some CGB money to the band. In honor of Penis Vaginerson. Normally when we get the letter, there's a sentence like "Thank you for your gift in honor of danzig." But this time that sentence was taken out. THAT'S THE VERY REASON I DONATED IT IN HONOR OF PENIS VAGINERSON!!! SO I COULD POST UP A SCAN OF THE LETTER THAT BOB SIGNED THANKING US FOR THE GIFT IN HONOR OF PENIS VAGINERSON. BUT IT WASN'T THERE?!??!
WHOSE DICK DO I HAVE TO SUCK TO GET AN ORIGINAL LETTER SIGNED BY BOB THANKING THE CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BLOGS FOR THEIR GIFT IN HONOR OF PENIS VAGINERSON. Because, honestly, I've been feeling too fucking professional lately. And if I can't get that letter, I mean why even manage this blog? What's the point, yknow?
Hope all is well!
-Twist
True story.
I'm told they are working on something. Working on something. WORKING ON SOMETHING?!?! That better be building a fucking time machine and then getting into that fucking time machine and going back in time to write a better letter for Bob to sign.
And to think that the Cal band would be upended by another Cal institution. Although I of course can't post the email here, I did receive an email from somebody working deep in the Cal underbelly, whose job is to process these gifts. This person told us that the gift literally brightened their morning and felt moved to email us about it. See, marching band and other nay-sayers, I'm helping people.
I'M TOUCHING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE ALL AROUND ME! I am an inspiration for Americans. I'm a true American hero. And, besides saying nay, what have you done lately? Engage in in depth sports-related analysis? Discuss the deep political issues of the day? Fuck that shit. I donated several hundred bucks to the marching band in the name Penis Vaginersson. Hey, Obama give me some of that Nobel medal.
GO BEARS!
Men's water polo hosts Pepperdine:
Bear Bites: The No. 2-ranked California men's water polo team (13-4, 1-1), winners of five of its last six matches, continues its MPSF slate with a 11 a.m. contest versus No. 5 Pepperdine (7-8, 1-2) on Saturday, Oct. 24 at Spieker Aquatics Complex. Last week, the Golden Bears won a key 7-6 MPSF match at No. 4 UCLA before upending No. 16 Santa Clara, 13-9, at Spieker Aquatics Complex. Cal had finished 3-1 the week before at the UCI Invitational with victories over Pacific (14-6), Loyola Marymount (9-8) and previously unbeaten and top-ranked Stanford (10-8), before falling to USC, 7-6, in the title match. Three of the Bears' four losses this season have come in he hands of the defending national champion Trojans. Against UCLA, Cal was led by sophomore attacker Ivan Rackov's three goals and sophomore goalie Wil Toppen, who earned the Oct. 19 MPSF Co-Player of the Week honor after talling nine saves and two steals versus the Bruins. It was the Bears' third MPSF Player of the Week accolade this season.
Cal Standouts: Head coach Kirk Everist's troops feature several key returnees from last season, including senior captains Spencer Warden and Mike Sample, and juniors Brian Dudley and Zach White - all members of the Bears' 2007 NCAA championship team. Warden and Dudley notched scores during the 8-6 win over USC in the `07 final. Warden, a three-time All-American, garnered second-team All-America honors last year after leading Cal with 40 goals and 68 steals; while Dudley was an honorable mention All-American after scoring 28 goals, including a match-winning shot in overtime at Long Beach State. The Bears also feature sophomore attacker Cory Nasoff, who earned this season's first MPSF Player of the Week honor when he notched 11 goals in three Navy Open matches. Cal's other MPSF Players of the Week this season are Toppen and junior center White, who was the Oct. 12 honoree after talling four goals apiece in both the LMU and Stanford wins, and had nine ejections earned in three UCI Invitational matches.
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Daily Cal on women’s tennis star:
It’s rare nowadays to find an accomplished student-athlete that chooses an education over turning pro without much hesitation.
Such is the case with Cal women’s tennis player Mari Andersson, who is one-half of the Cal women’s tennis team’s 2009 NCAA champion doubles team.
“I don’t plan on playing tennis professionally after Cal-my career will probably be over after I’m done here,” Andersson says. “I do have other plans for my future, which is why I chose Cal to get a good education.”
The Korean-born Andersson was adopted by Swedish parents when she was only four months old, and she was raised in the small village of Bastad, Sweden, where the talented junior spent most of her time on the tennis courts.
“School wasn’t a very high priority (in Sweden),” she says. “I went to a tennis academy when I was in high school, where I did go to class, but much of my time was concentrated on playing a lot of tennis.”

Daily Cal on creating QB pressure:
Facing freshman quarterbacks in each of its last two games, the Cal football defense put an emphasis on creating pressure in the pocket.
That isn’t going to stop this weekend, with Washington State-and its true freshman quarterback, Jeff Tuel-visiting Memorial Stadium at 1:30 p.m.
“We’re going to try to get after him, bring some blitzes and stuff,” linebacker Mike Mohamed said. “We feel like if we can do that, good things are going to happen.”
The outcomes of those last two games were radically different, of course, and it’s probably not surprising that the Bears’ ability to breach the backfield followed suit. They sacked USC quarterback Matt Barkley only once. Defensive coordinator Bob Gregory said after the game that, while his unit did pressure Barkley a few times, it wasn’t as much as he would have liked.
Last Saturday, Cal got to UCLA’s Kevin Prince three times. Trevor Guyton’s sack in the first quarter doubled as a forced fumble, which the Bears recovered and which led directly to Kevin Riley’s 43-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones that put Cal ahead 14-0.

Coming off a 2-10 season a year ago, expectations weren’t high for the 2009 Washington State football team. After showing glimpses of competitiveness early on, something that was non-existent for most of last year, the expectations began to rise.
Then the injury bug bit. And then it bit again. And again.
In Washington State’s 27-14 loss to Arizona State last week, nine of the Cougars’ starters were different from those that opened the season on Sept. 5 against Stanford.
Among that number were three new starters on the offensive line. Backup right guard Brian Danaher and starting cornerback Daniel Simmons both left the game with injuries. Simmons broke his leg and will miss the remainder of the year.
The combination on the offensive line translated to 12 sacks for the Sun Devils.
However, the biggest injury struck the Cougars off the field. Running back James Montgomery underwent season-ending surgery on his left leg in September. He was the Cougars’ leading rusher at that point and is the team’s best offensive weapon.

Midweek Notebook:
When senior Syd’Quan Thompson was injured in the second quarter of Saturday’s game, the Cal football team was left with one cornerback who made his first start three weeks ago and another who struggled so much through the Bears’ first three games that he lost his starting spot to the former.
That’s Josh Hill and Darian Hagan, respectively.
Hill is listed at 5-foot-11 and Hagan an even 6-feet, so UCLA decided to go at them with 6-foot-3 receiver Taylor Embree and 6-foot-5 Nelson Rosario. Hill finished the game with eight tackles, seven of them solo. Hagan had five tackles and three pass break-ups. The Bruins did not pass for a touchdown.
UCLA tried to exploit the height advantage starting on its first drive, when quarterback Kevin Prince threw deep to Rosario, who had a step on Hill but had the ball bounce off his fingertips. A few series later, Prince found Embree over Hagan for a gain of 29 yards. It became clear early that adjustments would be needed on the outside.

Not enough Cougar talk (click on the link for the photos)--Madonna only #5
From Page Six: NYC’s Top 10 Cougars
Profession: Owner of downtown restaurants Lucky Cheng’s and Marfa
Habitat: Lower East Side
Prey: In her 20s, Suthon hunted “older rich guys.” Now that she has her own money, the platinum blonde says she’s earned the right to have “whatever I want.” What she wants are guys half her age. Current catch is model Timothy Visnosky, 26, whom Suthon pounced on after he flirted with her at a party a year ago. The successful restaurateur says she doesn’t know why young cubs fall for her — but she’s not batting them away. “I met this 21-year-old awhile back, and he hit on me. I told him how old I was, and he’s still obsessed with me to this day.”
.) MARGRET AVERY
Age: “Older than 45”
Profession: Makeup artist
Habitat: Upper West SidePrey: “I would probably say
yes if an older guy asked me out, but it’s never happened,” purred Avery. “The young ones ask me out. And they continually stay the same age as I get older.” Avery, who credits her cougar appeal to her “young spirit,” is currently dating a guy in his 20s. “I don’t tell them how old I am. Ever,” she added. “With younger guys, there’s always a strong chemistry and a big fun factor. I think that’s important in a relationship.”
.) DONNA KARAN
Age: 60
Profession: Fashion designer
Habitat: Garment District
Prey: For years, New Age spiritualist Karan roamed the world’s yoga retreats with 30-something male model J.J. Biasucci by her side. The fur flew in 2007 when it emerged that he had a seedy past of stalking ex-girlfriends and, possibly, stripping at gay clubs. Even so, Karan didn’t lose her taste for Biasucci — the two were seen dancing together at a New York City party last summer.
4.) KELLY KLEIN
Age: 52
Profession: Socialite
Habitat: The Hamptons
Prey: Recently divorced Kelly Klein might be a new recruit to the cougar clan, but she’s jumping right into the game. After two decades of marriage to Calvin Klein, 14 years her senior, she swooped in on ex-New York Ranger Sean Avery, 29, last year. Now single again, social spies in the field are awaiting her next move.
) MADONNA
Age: 50
Profession: Actress, singer, workout-aholic
Habitat: Upper East Side
Prey: As the Material Mom gets older, her men keep getting younger. This year’s pet, Brazilian model Jesus Luz, 22, is young enough to be her son. Before that she had a steamy liaison with Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, 33, which broke up her second marriage to Guy Ritchie. At 40, even Ritchie is still a full decade younger than the pop star. Meow.
6.) ELLE MacPHERSON
Age: 45
Profession: Aussie model turned mogul
Prey: Elle “The Body” MacPherson never had a problem dating shorter men — and now she’s busy snaring younger ones, too. That includes art dealer Vito Schnabel, 21, son of film director Julian Schnabel. The 6-foot stunner and the diminutive scion may look like an odd couple, but his father says it’s totally normal. “They’re hanging out,” Julian said last year. “It’s not like [Vito] is smuggling heroin across the border. It’s not a big deal.”
7.) GAIL GARRISON
Age: 45
Profession: Dress designer, Gail Garrison Couture
Habitat: Upper East Side
Prey: Petite, tanned Garrison almost always dates guys two decades younger than her, but she says she never does the chasing. “I look really young for my age. If they ask me, I’ll tell them how old I am. [But] they never care.” Garrison is currently dating a “delicious” Italian almost nine years her junior — a rare 30-something treat.
8.) CAROL ALT
Age: 48
Profession: Former supermodel
Habitat: Upper East SidePrey: Alt’s got her pretty paws on Russian ice hockey player Alexei Yashin, and she says it’s the age difference that makes the relationship work. “Especially if you’re in the entertainment business, there’s no stability,” Alt has said. “I think one of the things Alexei looks to me for is that I’m a stable voice that’s able to guide him.” And what does she look for in Yashin? “Besides the fact that he’s so freaking hot?” she asked during an interview on the “Today” show. It was a rhetorical question.
9.) KATIE COURIC
Age: 52
Profession: anchor, CBS Evening News
Habitat: Upper East Side
Prey: Couric snared 35-year-old triathlete Brooks Perlin in 2007. The couple has since stalked hot spots like the “21” club, the ski scene in Sun Valley, Idaho, and the Super Bowl. “The age difference scared her off at first,” a Couric confidante told People magazine. “[But] Perlin doesn’t play games. It’s a drama-free relationship.” Before Perlin, Couric curled up with Chris Botti, a jazz musician six years her junior.
10.) HELENA CHRISTENSEN
Age: 40
Profession: Danish supermodel
Habitat: West Village
Prey: Christensen’s got her claws into Interpol rocker Paul Banks, 30, a baby-faced, skinny indie rocker with a mop of brown hair. Once a top ‘90s catwalker, Christensen clearly embraces her cougar image today. In February, she played Mrs. Robinson opposite “Gossip Girl” star Ed Westwick, 21, in a photo shoot for Harper’s Bazaar. Past conquests also include Josh Hartnett, 30, and — some say — the late Heath Ledger, 28.

I’ll concede that. NY is known for having a large quantity of cougars… it’s not known for the quality of it’s cougars.
Its the ecosystem
New York has no open land for their cougars to go out and hunt their prey… California’s cougars will always be that much more healthy and coug-tastic as they have the hills, valleys, streams, and unimpeded wilderness to satisfy their cougar ways… If man hadn’t killed NY’s cougar landscape for capitalistic greed, they might have a dog in this fight, but until then our ecosystems out west will produce the strongest and finest breeds of cougar… Plus they don’t have Walnut Creek or San Ramon…

Adam Jude of the RG also filed a great piece over the weekend, on two redshirting Oregon receivers, Diante Jackson and Tyrece Gaines. While Gaines seems to be struggling with the lack of playing time, Jackson has embraced it, and is working hard as a member of the scout team. I’m especially excited for Jackson. His work effort matches his talent, and he just seems like one of the most likable members on the team.

It really depends on the age of the chick involved. 40 is a good general guideline, but if when a 35-year-old hits on a kid my age, she’s a cougar. If she’s 32, though, it’s all good.

Something about glass houses and stones.
Act all day, dance all night. Let's get it poppin'... I'm in Bombay, trick!
I see your point, but am curious to know what the age difference would be to deem someone a cougar. A 35 year-old pursuing a 29 year-old, no. A 35 year-old pursuing a 22 year-old, yes. I think the age-dividing line should be 9 years of difference.
It gets tricky with the older cougars. A 50 year-old woman pursuing someone 33 seems very cougarish to me. While that some woman pursuing a 42 year-old does not.
Rules change once the 50 threshold is crossed. 50+ chasing a 40- is automatically filed to Cougar Zone.
Act all day, dance all night. Let's get it poppin'... I'm in Bombay, trick!
I would make the threshold for applying the term cougar change the younger women. I think 9 is a solid age difference to apply to anyone over the age of 35. Where this standard gets murky is when dealing with younger women. A 30 year old pursuing a 23 year-old, cougar. A 25 year-old pursing a 19 year-old, cougar. This is where the standard needs to be altered.
Hence a minimum age under which the rule does not apply.

My Ruling:
It is very complex and fact-specific. A cougar includes:
-A woman 40 or older
-A woman 35 or older who has had at least 1 baby
-A woman 30 or older who is dating/pursuing someone 10 or more years younger
There. It has been decided. It may be arbitrary, but it has been decided nonetheless.

At certain ages (35 or 40, as the case may be), a cougar exists as a state of being, and is not dependent on actions (like pursuit of younger male). If your 41 year old has lipo, a boob job, wears Hello Kitty clothes, and hangs out by the pool all day, isn’t she a cougar? This SACUJ says yes

I know this is tangential and that there is no place in the dbd for tangets, or off-topic conversation. But just recalling the Steven Soderberg version of Solaris reminded me of the original Soviet era version. Oh to that which is Heavenly and Holy is that a slow movie! I have no real point, but I am compelled to yell to the masses that in spite of Danny Boyle’s recommendation, and being one of the three pillars upon which the Sci-Fi genre was founded, Solaris SUCKS and goes NO WHERE! I recognize the artistic value, but in terms of entertainment value it SUCKS!
Well it is an hour shorter than the Russian version (techinically 1 hour and 1 minute), and though better, is also slow. If you are bored and have nothing to do, it is worth a watch, but not a movie you need to exert effort to go watch.
Forewarning: There is a scene where George Clooney is naked on a bed talking, it lasts for longer than it should. The upside is Natascha McElhone is also on the bed naked, but her position and lighting leaves everything to the imagination.
Wow, there's actually a blog called Cougar Hunt
Which helps identify where to find Cougars…
Rishi, keep this in mind when you visit Vegas.
However, our pick for Cougar Hot Spot in Las Vegas goes to Paris. After a quick run through of the Paris Casino it was clear this was a excellent spot to hunt for Cougars. Where are these Cougars usually located? Most people may say stay by the slots for the older women, but I’m going to recommend the Roulette Tables. Don’t pass up the Blackjack tables either. Also, don’t limit yourself to the tables, like any other place the Cougars can always be found at the bar.

I guess I’m sorta different. A fun night out to me doesn’t necessarily mean going to the hottest club in the city. I like to go to concerts. So, it might be more “Go to dinner, go to concert, chill at somebody’s place.”
With me, it’s also more about who you are doing it with than what you are doing.

A bit serious here...
To all of you married people. Is this really true?? I just came back from my sisters’ places. Both married. Both just had a baby. (LOVE THEM!) But like… they’ve seriously lost that lovin’ feeling. Not the romantic-together-forever Lovin. But they have lost that pants-off-against-the-wall-Diane-Lane-in-Unfaithful mcLovin.
Cuz that would really really suck. And would be a reason to never get married. Ever.
So far, this has not been my experience with marriage. However, my wife and I don’t yet have kids.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Some people prefer honest answers to prepackaged stereotypes and an endless stream of Family Guy and Anchorman quotes. Now, I don’t know how many of those people hang around here, but still…

The comparison was supposed to highlight the difference, so what are you disagreeing with? That Oakland has attitude but a different variety?
Admittedly, I’m confused, but that’s because I just don’t know much about the incremental differences between the conurbation of North-Central California.
If you have southern, central, and northern California, that implies a rough division of thirds. The Bay Area would count as northern with a very generous spot on the southern tip of the north, so to speak.
by DC Trojan on Oct 22, 2009 1:07 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
The part of the state north of Sac doesn’t really count, as there’s nothing there. That’s why the Bay Area is “Northern” California despite being only slightly more than halfway up.
Northern California = Sacramento, Bay Area
Southern California = LA, OC, San Diego
Nobody really talks about “Central California”…they normally refer either to the Central Valley or less frequently to the Central Coast.
dboneisloose
I was speaking at a conference in Eureka, and was at dinner with a group of the sponsors the night before. I said something about being from Northern California, and all six of them turned on me and said, simultaneously, “Sacramento is NOT Northern California!” It was obviously a very sore spot with them.
That must have been awkward.

Nah, they were nice about it after they put me in my place. And I do see their point. All those counties up there with populations of 20,000 or 30,000 people feel completely abused by the rest of the state. All these laws get passed requiring counties to provide various programs and services, which is fine for LA or SF or Sac, but those northern counties literally have no money.
It’s easy to blame LA and SF for everything, and ignore the fact that most of the revenue that keeps the state running comes FROM LA and SF. What are the unfunded mandates they’re complaining about? And how exactly are they being “abused”?

Ava Lounge
Our first stop on our Cougar Hunt expedition is Ava Lounge. A chic hang out where the lights are turned low and where the Cougars always show. This bar is great for attracting the younger crowd and naturally the Cougars will follow
Stone Rose
Located in the Upper West side, Stone Rose offers customers a gorgeous view of Central Park along with an atmosphere of club yet hotel bar feel. What Cougar wouldn’t want to cuddle up with a young man and enjoy the views of the city?
Madame X
There is one word to describe the clientle in Madame X…Flashy! With private party rooms, intimate seating, and deep red colors. Cougars love the deep red colors and of course the animal print.
Don’t Tell Mama
The best way guage a Cougar is by her song and dance. What better of a place than a piano bar to get the Cougars dancing? Nightly you can find Cougars dancing and singing with drink in one hand and Cougar Bait in other.

To be honest it’s actually really simple. But since you guys will blame me if I say anything good I’ll stop.
I’ve been training my parents to do their own IT/tech support work because there’s not much I can do over the phone and they can’t wait for me to visit to fix it. My dad solved some problem with our router not working with the new Vonage installation he got without my help. I was so proud.
It’s funny because my Dad’s a CPA/accounting and he knows more computer stuff (thanks to me and the fact that he loves to read) than my mom. My mom spent 2 years taking programming and computer classes at a local community college (De Anza) when we originally moved here. And then she got a job as a math teacher at a HS and said fuck it to computers lol.
In other words, Go Bears!
You can say something good all you want about it. I don’t dislike Microsoft products as a reflexive issues, I just got tired of having to arse about with the wife’s PC all the time.
I don’t deny that at all. Windows PCs can be hard to use (although I’ll argue that Windows 7 makes it much much more simpler) and perhaps a Mac OS can make it easier for the lay user. People are too dismissive of the PC due to problems XP had which are almost if not all gone.

I’m actually curious. And I’ll beat back the blacklisters to find out an honest opinion or two.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
For one it’s much more optimized than XP or Vista was. One of the biggest things is that it was aimed at netbooks which are not known for it’s computing prowress. And compared to the so called “Vista bloat” or the “ram hungry Vista”, Win 7 is a god send. In fact benchmarks put it at using equal or less memory than XP which came out nearly a decade ago!
A lot of issues people had with Vista was with driver and compatibility issues. For me GPU driver issues and kernel panics were quite prevalent. This was mainly due to a rewrite in underlying code (don’t know more details tbh) which has now matured given the time and iterations.
A lot more 3rd parties are now on board and we avoid the problem where with Vista many 3rd parties avoid supporting Vista.
It’s a lot more secure than XP and Vista.
In other words, Go Bears!
Stability and security. Those have been my big gripes with Windows for, well, pretty much ever. Getting those ironed-out will be a major improvement in a lot of people’s lives.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
There was supposedly some horrible bug in 7 that people on the internet were in an uproar a few months ago. Has that been fixed? Did it ever exist?
I think I know what you’re talking about. It was some hack/security hole that can compromise your entire system. The funny part? The hacker has to actually be at your computer to utilize this security hole.
If the evil guy is at your computer nothing will stop you, Mac, Linux or Windows.

Another question: will I be able to use my XP compatible printer with 7? After my XP computer died, I bought one with Vista, and my printer wouldn’t work with it. I tried downloading the drivers from Microsoft, but it didn’t help. I’d like to keep that old printer as a spare if it will work with 7.
I don’t know. You realize that there are 1000s if not more printers and drivers out there. That’s what makes Windows so hard. It’s just soo widely used and supported that if one small thing changes a whole bunch of people complain.
Printer drivers are annoying. Windows 7 did some work to work natively with XP drivers that weren’t compatible with Vista but it’s not possible to get every thing working

Dude, if you were with a prostitute, you could have been arrested and put into jail!

I dunno, the Pasadena jail sounded like a lot of fun.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

I think they have separate holding cells for the prostitutes. Unless you picked up one of the wrong sort of prostitutes.

Cool article about Former Bears turned Cougars Montgomery (injured) and Brandon Jones (starting)
http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/sportslink/2009/oct/21/wsus-montgomery-speaks/
long article with some good quotes
STAY THIRSTY, MY FRIENDS
Gotta disagree
I didn’t see any sort of bad attitude on Jones’ part at all. Both he and Montgomery basically said that Berkeley was a bad fit for them, and it seems like they were right. The only thing I got from his comments were that he was looking forward to playing well in this game, and that when he was on the team there were chemistry problems (cough-DJax-cough).
On ATQ I'm known as JSoCal Oski
It's spelled J-etc
Aaron Rodgers nails a rookie in the face with a cabbage from across the room
He’s still got it!
Quite possibly the awesomest thing I’ve seen him do.

Don’t think he ever lost it.

Right, which is why he’s still got it.

We all know that Bak Bak endowed him with the gift of magnificent QB play during the Immaculate Conception.

What do you think the next internet thing will be that will cause you to be unreasonably angry?
My prediction: Tedford bringing Longshore back as Defensive Coordinator.

This would be sufficient. Most likely it will arise out of a post that suggests…
(1) Women’s basketball is tolerable
(2) Nate Longshore was tolerable
(3) Jeff Tedford is not awesome
by Tedfordisgod on Oct 22, 2009 7:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Nate Longshore is coaching the women’s basketball team – and they’ve taken all the football television dates!
Just considering this possibility made me a little angry

I agree with your point 1. Women’s basketball is awesome.

I agree with your point 1, CalBear81 is awesome.

Dear CALumbus Bear,
Following your expert advice, I have consumed copious amounts of The Macallan, washed down with a couple of Manhattans. You, sir, are a jurist of exemplary taste and discernment. In conclusion, I would like to suggest that you assess costs against Twist. That fucker.
Best regards,
H. Phobe

I like this. You get home late at night, totally still drunk and not ready to go to bed. Like many drunks, you need to keep socializing, but there’s no one else at home. You know who’d like to hear about your drunkenness, thought? The Internet. Yes, The Internet wants to know ALL about how much alcohol you consumed. Come, share with us!!
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
It’s like I’m royrules, except I’m talking about drinking instead of Microsoft!

I don’t see any references to axe, shitty overpriced drinks, or hitting on girls.
