    The person below me game...

    The person below me understood the conversation going on during this telephone call and will explain what it was. The person on the phone had accidentally spilled marinara sauce on her eggplant parmesan recipe and needed to know how much basil to add. The person below me also understood why they were afraid of the phone to begin with and will explain why. They were expecting a different ring tone. The other phone they walked by had played the allegro movement of "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" (You'd know if it you heard it.) The person below me also understands who leaves a telephone in the middle of the open like that and will explain why. Due to budget cuts, the phone company has been forced to get rid of the booth part of the phone booth. The person below me also knows who pays the phone bill there and will tell us. Jim Henson has always paid the phone bill. It is now covered by the royalties. The person below me has eaten eggplant parmesan.

    Please win. I spent all night last night being text-trolled.

    I'll be rooting against the Jets this game, of course. Call me old, but I just keep thinking Selanne is still with them. Go Wings!

    Realignment decided - 4 Conferences

    I don't see why they would have to get the players' consent. The League (as in the GM's of the teams) has decided this on the basis of what is best for the teams. The NHLPA is about what is good for the players as individuals. You would think that the players and their GM would want pretty much the same things with regards to what is best for the team, although there will be differing ideas amongst individuals no matter how you slice it. They definitely should talk about it, but ideally the time for that would have been before the GM meeting. Each GM should have talked to players, coaches, owners, and all involved before going. There is a direct chain of distrust- Players/fans hesitate to trust--->general managers/owners because they form--->the League which is led by--->Bettman who looks like the bastard offspring of--->Count von Count and Peewee Herman. No realignment will be perfect, and someone will always get the short end of the stick. I think this is almost as good as it gets for teams in states/provinces that have capitals with fewer than three sets of repeating letters.

    Filly-poola

    I thought you were seriously making a joke and I thought it was hysterical. Playing on "prima donna" and adding in that the Wings are so old that they're older than the singer. Anyway, no one is worse with Flip's name than my dad was. I begged him just to say "Flip" and leave it at that. I think he was trying to get Philippians and Flipper in there at the same time as Filppula, and ending it like Dracula. It ended up as sort of Filiplipilyula, only scrunched together really fast.

    Unfortunately, I plan my life around my jobs. The person below me wears Wings gear at least once a week.

    This or That

    We have a dinner some time around Christmas, and they give us a $100 bill on our last day that we work before Christmas. I like the dinner, but I'll always take the cash first. Of course, our real present comes in February when the end of the year totals are calculated and we get our profit sharing checks. Teach someone else to do your job or have your supervisor teach them?

    I finally got back the input I needed and will be finishing it tonight! I'm relieved. I'm on a deadline here. The person below me has bought a car from a want ad.

    Be there. Sexier look: Pouting, frowning or smiling?

    Well, she was from Detroit, but I'm pretty sure she's older than they are.

    I need a hot one. The person below me likes cheese on their eggs.

    If I had a tree, I'd put on my own lights. More likely to be true: Aliens or Sasquatch?

    12/6 GDT : Red Wings 2 at Blues 3

    Helm thinks he has a hat trick of empty netters, but it turns out that he is so fast that he beat the goalie to the net at the beginning of each period. The goals are called back due to the fact that his speed involves going backwards in time, and therefore the goals occurred during the intermission or before the game. Homer understands Helm's pain and offers condolences. Helm does not understand Homer's condolences, but appreciates the effort. In the meantime, Stuie and Kronner each score a goal and the Wings win 2-0.

    I used to have one many years ago when I had seizures, but then they found out that the seizures were a side effect of medication I was taking. If I had issues again, I would wear one. Buy lots of groceries once in a while with small trips for perishables, or buy what you need on a weekly basis?

    It would be cool, but I have a feeling they won't. The person below me had to try to play the ukelele in grade school.

    I only wipe off the snow I need to, but I have 4wd, so let's go with the snowplow thing. Fudge or caramel?

    I am. The person below me has been to Hawaii.

    I don't have the option of making it up, so the question is paid or unpaid. I go with paid if possible. Army or Navy?

    The person below me game...

    Nope. Not today. No reason, just didn't. The person below me actually hates showering/bathing but does it because it's necessary.

    Lids showing off his torso

    From the context, as well as I could get it from a translator, I think "dumb" might be translated better as "speechless", which is a more archaic definition, but one nonetheless.

    They are imploding over and over. They have learned to win, but not to be winners. They need discipline.
