1999

Heruka:
No, Decoy, no it wasn't. Thgis was a pivitol bad call, that ended any slim chance of playoff hopes. Everyone knew it was wrong. EVERYONE. But they went ahead and made it anyway. Making a bad calllike this in the last minute of the game of such an important game was just fucking stupid. Buffalo is irrelevant. They could have made 100 bad calls in that game, but none of it would have mattered anyhow. This was not just about a bad call, this was about ignoring the rules of the game. I don't have time to argue, but if you look at the situations with an open mind, you'll clearly see the difference. Have a nice day.

Decoy:
It was a correct interpretation of a rule in both cases. And it was a crucial and pivitol moment for the playoff hopes of the Patriots. So there. For that, we wouldn't need replay if there weren't officials that were really bad. Too many teams. It waters down the officiating talent pool.

Decoy:
You have a nice day, too, Heruka.

Myk Murphy:
I suppose i deserve that answer, since i still claim to pull taffy for a living.

Myk Murphy:
So will there be no bela this week? I should have taken some time off around the holidays. This friday marks one year that i`ve been in this particular office.

Chewing Wax:
bela said she'd be round this week.

Decoy:
Myk, have you been tapping on the phone for year?
(Mon Dec 17, 2001 - 9:46:00 am)

Decoy:
I think its rediculous that an unconscious player can become out of bounds. The rule should be that a player who has any part of his body out of bounds cannot gain possession. It bouncing off his limp lifeless flesh while 3 feet inbounds should be interpreted differently. I guess you could have an out of bounds player bat the ball to a teammate if you didn't have that rule. Eh. Whatever.

Chewing Wax:
We went down to the lower bowl to watch the last half of the fourth quarter and then overtime. It's a whole different experience down there. I'm not sure I liked it better. I think I'm an upper deck kind of guy. Anne liked it. She thinks it's warmer and it has nice comfortable plastic seats with beer holders. I'll give them one thing. They were much more enthusiastic down there.

Myk Murphy:
No, decoy, i think i got the phone this summer. For half a year, i was lounge-challenged.

Chewing Wax:
He was. He'd come home and read the archives and make his comments. Kind of like a nice summary.
(Mon Dec 17, 2001 - 9:54:28 am)

Myk Murphy:
What do you sit on when you have upper deck tickets? Stone slabs?
(Mon Dec 17, 2001 - 9:56:40 am)

Myk Murphy:
Exactly. I would review your work with a critical eye.

Chewing Wax:
Cold aluminum benches. They put in the plastic seats in the lower bowl as part of the stadium renovation three years ago. The upper decks were almost entirely ignored. Well, I think they painted.

Chewing Wax:
I think you have a better view of the game from the upper deck. And the steepness means that the heads of the people in the row below you are well out of the way.

Scientific News.:

Evidence that global warming, caused by Texas polution and a total disregard for the environment by George W. Bush and his oil business croneys, has reduced the salinity of the water in the northern Atlantic ocean, thus slowing down the Atlantic conveyor current which keeps Europe a relatively warm and temperate place. With the shut down of this current, Europe has now been officially plunged into an ice age and will continue to get colder and glaciated as the years go by. Thus, global warming has started an ice age.

Aah, doing some cleaning, listening to Skeeter Davis. I just don't know what to do with myself. Now I see what the pets do all day when I'm not home. They all sleep.

Chewing Wax:
Have you bothered to get dressed?
(Mon Dec 17, 2001 - 10:52:04 am)

bela :
Oh yeah, I'm showered and dressed. I'm not a lay around in pajamas type person. I have too much to do. Crap, some coconut from my donut fell in the keyboard. bela is a good cat, she just stepped around the keyboard.

On a routine scouting mission, I am hearing what sounds like a quite angry Scotsman bellowing profanity from inside these caves. He has the fighters confused.

Heruka:
Just went there and kinda hung around for an hour or so, then left. I'm not sure I want to work there anyway. The's a nice person, but think he looks down on me. Like I'm some kind of helpess gimp. The whose family is like that. They're upper-class people. So naturally they look down on me, the middle-class. I've worked for him before though. Last summer, then I did other projects for him before that.

Balázs Bernát:
They like me because I can snake a torch and video camera about thirty feet into the caves with my left tentacle and be remaining in virtual safety on the rocky outcrops
