Like A Rolling Stone

Speaking of Jackson Browne..... (named by son that-love it)(not Browne). No Nukes Concert, Tom Petty is waiting backstage. Browne says to him, "They're not booing they're saying BRUCE". Petty, quick as a whip says, "Isn't that the same thing?"

Quote JustMe: YIKES PG

IT WAS BECAUSE OF ME DOBI I LEARNED

CHOCOLATE IS LIKE POISON ...........

WIERD THOUGH AS IT DID NOT APPEAR AS A PROB

TILL SHE WAS IN MID LIFE

USED TO GIVE HER CHOC ICE CREAM ALL THE TIME

TILL ONE DAY SHE GOT THE FITTS

SHE SURVIVED BUT NEVER GOT CHOC AGAIN

THOUGH I MUST SAY SHE NEVER SHOWED ANY

SIGN OF MISSING THE STUFF

MINE WASN'T TOO QUIET FRIENDLY ONLY TO A FEW

DIDN'T MATTER

SHE WAS ME BABY

AND PEEPS HAD TO DEAL WITH ME FIRST

I REMEMBER A TIME AT OBEDIENCE TRAINING

(SHE REALLY DIDN'T NEED IT AS SHE WAS SO SMART)

DURING THE CHOKE TRAINING EXERCIZE

ONE OF THE THINGS TO DO WAS

EXPOSE HER TO COHABITATION OF SPACE WITH OTHERS

WELL TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT

SHE DIDN'T GO FOR IT

ONE OF THE SENIOR TRAINERS CAME OVER AND SAID

SHE'D HAVE TO BE "FIXED" AND TO HAND OVER ME LEASH..............

I LOOKED INTO THE TRAINERS EYE AND SAID

YOU AREN'T FIXING ANYTHING ................

SHE'S A DOBI NOT A GIMP

HE JUST ABOUT STARTED TO CRY LOL

WENT OVER TO ANOTHER TRAINER AND SAID

I THINK HE'S GONNA HIT ME

I DIDN'T

TOOK THE LEASH OFF ME DOBI

TOLD HER TO COME

TO WHICH SHE FOLLOWED ME TO THE CAR

WITH NO INCIDENT

AND WE JOYOUSLY DROVE AWAY

SAD DAY INDEED WHEN SHE LEFT ME

NEVER GOT ANOTHER AS I FELT

NONE COULD COMPARE..............

BUT YOU KNOW THERE ARE TIMES I FEEL HER SPIRIT

I CAN SIT ON MY STAIRCASE

GAZE AT THE STARS

UTTER HER NAME

AND A COOL BREEZE WILL GRACE MY PERSON

TAKE CARE OVER THERE

ALOHA

HAVE FUN


I never took Ponya to obedience training. She, also, was too dang smart for it. She always played nice with other dogs. She even had a boyfriend, Cyrus, tho she was spayed due to preggo complications. She always looked mildly appalled by his nose-to-nose kisses.
Anyhoo... there was one dog she couldn't abide, a black lab of all things. I was walking her out of the apt. building as they were coming downstairs. They met in the landing and the wrath of hell insued. Ponya lost a toe-nail and the lab lost his appetite for fighting. She was ticked about that all day... paced the floor growling. Didn't need a translator for what she was saying.
Could talk about her all day. She was my baby. Saved her from death. We went everywhere together and she saved my life a time or two. I share your pain as I feel it, too.

lol

Nooooooo..... I loves Bruce!!!

Swoooooon and you know what.
He is a true poet......Dylanesque really to me...Underrated like John Cougar
methinks.....Here's one that gets stuck in me craw.


Ok two swooooon ....He's all MAN!!!
Thank you 'cause this is truly erotic to me.

Hot Stuff

Thunder and Lightning

The words.....sigh!!!

I always wondered where that came from???

Etymology: like something you cannot swallow, based on the literal meaning of craw (= the throat of a bird)


Cool site.

Crawestuck
(Playing with the word MoHub lol)

Drew and I counted the number of hours that I've seen Bruce, live, and it's about two weeks. I know he did a solid week of perfomances at Carter Baron before "Born to Run" came out, and I was there all 5 nights. That's about 20 hours right there.

And, I see Bravo are their, usually, adorably, prompt selves in getting the episode three board up. Was anybody surprised by that?

A few days late, but hey its OT....

Dear Hubby wants me to take my boom box and put it on his casket and play "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at the viewing when he dies. I laughed, our mothers were outraged. Neither knew the song, but "It just isn't done". lol!

Have you read "Heart Shaped Box" by Joe Hill? (I haven't yet, but out of the mood for spooky books at the moment) He is Stephen King's son Owen Joseph. The reviews were great when it came out in hardback.

Joan Cusack, sister of Anne & Jon, was in Working Girl, too.

Thanks, Sis! I appreciate your help. I think you may be officially the last poll I can take. You rock!

sorry it was so late..just haven't had time to be on the boards the last couple of weeks.

Hope it helps.

Does anyone else think the level of cooks on the new season is poor compared to the other seasons? Maybe we just haven't got to know them as well yet but it seems like compared to the other professionals that have been on there that the new ones are pretty lame. There's only like 3 good ones, the Australian, the chicago girl and then that guy that used two pans on the first show.

It's a difficult task to please everyone, and Bravo's shows are no exception. They're between a rock and a hard place, I think. If they develop a season around "experienced" cheftestants, there are complaints that they're not showcasing enough "novice" chefs, and are pandering to more established ones, but if they develop a season around "novice" chefs, there are complaints that they're not showcasing enough "established" talent, and are pandering to the untrained.

It's kind of a catch-22, you see?

I think these people are all seasoned cooks. Just can't get a fix on how experienced they all are due to the weird choices they are making. Stephanie owns her own restaurant and is supposedly a food goddess in Chicago. She has shown she has the stuff, but has made at least one really bad choice so far. Several of the others are line cooks trying to break out. I say give it some time. Remember how Michael really pulled it out on the 7 deadly sins competition? I would never have guessed he could do that based on his performance and attitude.

I leave my lists at home too! So my husband bought me one of those little recorders,, well you guessed it, I don't know where it is, more than I know where it is. Guess I'm gettin' old!

woohoo finally an off topic board. so, where is the board for the third episdoe?

Since I have older brothers and sisters, I have albums dating back to the 50's. Have some classics I won't give up, Janis Joplin and the HOLDING COM< AND COUNTRY Joe and the Fish. (with the "F" song") My kids were brought up on Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd. My friends couldn't believe, they knew every word to every song.

Your guess is as good as ours, D.R.! Maybe they hid it under JustMe's pointy hat!

WELL THAR SHE BLEW

Okay, I'm new to these boards, and I'm a bit puzzled as to why there isn't a topic for this week's episode yet, because I'd certainly like to talk about that one.

I just got done watching my TiVo'd episode 3, and I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed in the judging. I don't know if anyone else got that, but I'm sure more than a little puzzled by their choice.

From the comments being made by the neighborhood people, it seemed to me that their favorites were all from the Red Team. Now, I'm sure that there is some editorial license taken there, so perhaps the guys cutting the episode wanted us to think that's the way it went. Still, I tend to think that the guys putting the stuff together for our viewing pleasure want to give us the most realistic picture of what happened--it's how they've done things in the past.

Given that, I think that this is certainly one of those challenges where the judges should have had comment cards for the folks in the neighborhood to complete indicating their preferences. They've done that in every season previously, and it certainly would have made sense here to at least get a sense of how the people for whom the food was made felt about it. By not doing that and by arbitrarily selecting what they thought amongst themselves comprised "winning" the challenge, I think that the judges lost some credibility.

They had some good points about the food not being made well, but I personally can't see how those corn dogs could have been any worse than what must have been one of the most awful macaroni and cheese dishes ever served on planet Earth! Additionally, no one seemed to like the paella, which apparently really wasn't a paella. It just seemed to me that there were enough bad dishes on the Blue side, mixed in with the rest of their mediocre stuff, that the really good things about what the Blue team did, which were apparently the skewers and the sliders, should have carried more weight.

I guess the only thing I can do is give the judges credit for warning the Blue team that their victory was had by only the slimmest of margins and that they produced food well below the threshold of their capabilities.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents about the episode. Sorry if I'm getting in the way, but without anywhere to post my comments about this week's episode, I just thought this would be the most appropriate place.

Thanks for putting up with me.

Best,
x

OMG, I couldn't agree more! I mean, they won't let us start topics, so somebody over at BravoTV needs to wake up and do the job their paid to do, don't you think? Either that, or put the folder for "EPISODES" out there and let us start all the topics we want, willy nilly. I mean, if I'm on pretty much every other BB out there it works just that way. I get that they want a pretty much maintenance free thing here, but if that's the case, then just let us do our thing. If someone gets out of hand, then we report them, the mods come in and shut that person down. It's all pretty basic stuff, no?

Anyway, thanks for posting this...maybe someone will catch up. Or hey, here's an idea...try putting up new topics for every episode that's going to air this season so that when the episode has been on for the week, we can go into that folder and post until our heart's content. Sounds good to me...

Hey Aloha, do they have one for tapes also? My dad started writing songs and singing them at the ripe old age of 80. He passed away in Sept 2 months short of his 90th bd. I'd love to put those tapes on CD so they'll keep forever. I believe there are some expensive ones out there, but don't have that kind of money. Thanks in advance

Woohoo!

I just got our Nationals season tickets. Today in the Washington Post they had a full section on the new park and it just looks amazing. Now if we want to see a ball game in a comfy park we don't have to travel to Balmer. I am stoked

And I am mortally jealous! Just cross your fingers that The Metropolitan Chorus gets called to sing the Anthem at a game and we get to stay and watch the proceedings!

Hi there, message board newbie here!

I just wanted to get the word out about my new blog - barredowl.wordpress.com where I discuss each Top Chef episode and other fun stuff!

My latest Top chef entry is about the location of the block party with maps and the analysis of a chicago-native (me!)

See you around,
Barred Owl

This was considered to be the funniest joke in the world a few years back...Every time I tell it to anyone.....they crack up. Thankee sai England

CNN reports


Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.



He gasps:

"My friend is dead! What can I do?"


The operator says:

"Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."



There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard.

Back on the phone, the guy says:



"OK, now what?"

Hey, ol' buddy, good for you on getting the tickets!

uh . . . not to step on toes . . . uh . . . I swear it wasn't I . . ..

Hi, Actor. My business trip to NOLA's been shortened yet again. Anyway, 20 hours in your city. Grab one meal to take back to the meeting: Po'boy? Muffuletta? Mothers? Elsewhere? I'll be in the business district. Thanks!

Union family. Real people pushing cash register buttons, toll booth buttons, plumbing and electrical. We switched grocery stores when ours went to self-check lines. My favorite place to shop is the butcher shop around the corner; they carry fresh produce and some good wines and chocolates. Ah.

I'm sorry. I have been a fan of Top Chef for years. I have watched from Day One. But this season??? Did you run out of viable actual chefs?? These people are not Top Chefs! And what about the jerk off that claims he has to be pulled off by security?? HELLO?? Come on guys. You know there are many, many good cooks out there. You just didn't come up with them this season. I'm really sorry. Just wish there was something to replace. Not. But I'm not going to watch anymore. Just too (I was going to say painful, but actually just disappointing.).

Saw the digital recorder turntable in the Sky Buy catalog this week. They sell one for cassette tapes, too.
