Did you hear that the cop got in trouble for letting someone else (Carson in this case) wear his uniform?

How do I get on the weekend plan? Or a 6-game plan? Or do they do those later in the year?

That's how they get people to read these things. Throw some good/popular bands on the list so people are pissed off enough to talk.

Wimp. I'm all about the 4-by-4, animal style.

My ID has so many specks of crap on it from the 1970s-style photo duplication process they use that I have a hard time convincing people around here it's legitimate. I can't wait until they start rolling out the new IDs.

I'm curious what you wrote...

They have Labatt on tap at the place I play roller hockey. $1.50, the cheapest beer they sell. You get a lot of bang for your buck since you're getting a pint as opposed to the 12oz bottle. Of course, you also get buzzed pretty quickly when you're already dehydrated and people start buying rounds.

I figured out (by trial and error) how to get there from route 9, if anyone needs to know.

We need a New Jerseyan to buy these teams. Someone who cares about them for slightly more than just the effect on his bank book.

All right... girls dancing in their bras! At least one of them. You know what've topped this? NJDevs post-game celebration at Poor Billy's!

So if I'm running SP1 I'm okay? My problem is I tried to install the patch, then cancelled the install. Now it thinks I'm in the middle of another installation already no matter what I do (restart, delete the temp files it left, etc.).

I hate computers. I am also a computer science major. It's a happy balance. Very taoist.

I'm pretty sure I have the patch installed. I regularly run Windows Update (at least once a week), and I'm guessing this patch was in one of the updates. I read the descriptions, but I forget after like 10 seconds.

Bring your own bench. These are bolted down.

I didn't really like it. It was very condescending, as it was trying as hard as possible to be a "feel good" movie with a lofty message. The reality of this story is amazing enough that it doesn't need a DeMille-like treatment. Seabiscuit deserves better. What amused me was that I watched The Big Lebowski the night before.

Damn. Guy I went to high school with was drafted by the Browns. He got to see the cup. He might not care, but I still envy him. For seeing the cup. Not for being in the NFL. Hahaha.

The red buttons (e-mail, WWW, AIM, YIM) are designed only to look right on a white background. There's a nasty white border around them on the background that's there now. I might be able to fix them if you want. Not sure when.

Yup.

The Isles girls are definitely about 16 years old. Damn. Bottom right is definitely the best. Top left looks like a flower child. Top right looks like she should be running a campaign for class president or something. The bottom left Dallas girl looks kind of like Heather Matarazzo. She belongs with the Islanders ice hoes! Damn, CRASHER has exactly 1000 posts right now.

I'm guessing River City Sports has them. I still need to get a jersey. Looks like the funds won't be there this summer. I'll have to wait until the holidays, I guess.

If you get 1000 people, you can get specialized plates. However, there definitely have to be some licensing issues involved with the Devils and Nets.

Next game we need to play a system, dammit. We were crunching around our own goal a bit too much out there. Gotta set the box up on D. It creates offensive opportunities, too. Also: NO OFFSIDES. Those rinks are too damned small to have offsides. Or if we play offsides, we should play dots in, redline out, so once you get in the zone, it gets bigger. You have to cross the dots to be in the zone, but once you're in the zone, it has to cross the redline to be out. This is good for small rinks. It opens it up and lets you get better breakouts going. (This helps out the skaters a bit.)

The problem with blacktop is you can't skid stop like you can on smoother surfaces like sport court.

Well, crasher, newarkdevil, eldon, sammy, and myself were there. I was disappointed that there were no ladies there. The first annual NJDevs.com wet t-shirt contest just wasn't the same without you. Anyway, sorry to hear you couldn't make it. The directions were crap, so we thought you got lost or something. I hope everything's all right.
