[Obama: McCain "like Cato".]

Perhaps he meant ... this:

 

[What goes around...comes around...]

MoooOOOOOooooOOOOOOoooo!

 

I think Judge Kozinski has made an udder fool of himself.

 

-- Nephele

You're milking this one, Neph!

[Bring out yer dead!]

Risk factors, Gaius! Risk factors!

 

What makes these folks more prone to kicking the bucket this year than people on my list?

[Bring out yer dead!]

George Steinbrenner.

Ooooo ... very good!

Matter of fact, I like that one so much that the Rev. Billy Graham got the boot!

[Bring out yer dead!]

Sorry, I didn't feign any indignation, but I can fake it if you like...

 

"That's what she said!"

Michael Scott

Manager - Dunder Mifflin Paper Co.

Scranton, PA

 

Britney Spears.

Got her!

[Bring out yer dead!]

Gaius:

 

What do you see at the risk factors associated with the folks you listed?

 

Michael Jackson

Aside from being weird, I don't see a lot of risk factors. Suicide perhaps?

 

Jimmy Carter

No known illnesses.

 

Andre Previn

?

 

George H.W. Bush

Had him last year. Pretty good health, but that skydiving thing makes him attractive.

 

George Steinbrenner.

Ooooo ... very good!

 

Dick Chenny

He has 24/7 medical monitoring. He ain't going nowhere.

 

Count Hans Kolvenbach (The Black Pope)

?

 

Bridget Bardot

Not bad

 

Ed Koch

Meh.

 

Mike Wallace

Appears to be in good shape

 

Charles Manson

We can only hope!

[Whats In A Name?]

Whats In A Name?

 

Paging Nephele ... you have a call on line 1.

[Holiday Tree]

Whereas we must be "tolerant" and "accepting" of the views/customs/practices of each and every other minority faction in the US, it would seem that when it comes to Christians, it is perfectly acceptable to practice bigotry.

[Joy and relief]

Good news all around. Glad to hear it Klingan.

 

(And I totally got the Pokemon reference too )

[The greatest thing since sliced bread.]

TiVo ????? Please explain!

Thats the brand name of the first DVRs introduced here in the states.

 

Don't know what I'd do without one. My wife and I have a rather aggressive television viewing schedule. It's tough to keep up.

[The greatest thing since sliced bread.]

Skybus Airlines ($20 round trip flights out of Columbus!)

 

Just booked flights back home for Easter for my whole family (5 of us) for $45 each.

[The greatest thing since sliced bread.]

Vetoing Snickers and Doritos!!!??? Feh, evil you...

 

Gimme one of these any day of the week:

 

[The greatest thing since sliced bread.]

All good suggestions (with the exception of Doritos and Snickers ... yuck! ) Snickers were created in the early 1930's by the way and thus just qualify as part of the SBE.

 

I have to agree with Doc on some degree regarding Diet Soda (1952). It sucks. Except for Coke Zero, that is.

[Are you ready for some football? (and other assorted stuff)]

The scoreboard in the Georgia Dome may have read Giants: 31, Atlanta: 10, but we know what the real scoreboard read:

 

G Man: 1

Lady Luck: 0

[Are you ready for some football? (and other assorted stuff)]

Oh, and the neighbor who projects stuff on the house...and the other neighbor who figgered how to connect the cable...absolutely rock. They deserve parties and plaques in their honor.

 

Doc:

 

10-4 on that. The first night we figured out how to do it, there were about 6 of us Dads up watching 'Goodfellas' until 2:30 am. LOL! We even have the picture-in-picture working as well so one week we had Auburn vs Florida on one side, and USC vs Washington on the other.

 

I told them the only thing missing was that they need to figure out some way for me to check my email.

[Hello? Is this thing on?]

Do it! Feel free to bounce ideas of me via PM as well if you need any help with 'historical match-ups'.

Will do! I'll need to compile a list of 64 famous Romans. Ideally, close to half would be from the Republic and half from the Empire. Any input would be gladly accepted.

 

By the way, a couple of interesting later round match ups could potentially pit Romulus vs Remus, Gaius Marius vs Sulla, Cato elder vs Cato younger, Gracchus vs Gracchus, and Livia vs Agrippina the younger.

[LEG GEM XIIII Martia Victrix]

Very cool, Pertinax!

 

Excuse my ignorance, but are you involved in this group of folks?

[Being A Kid.]

But Gaius ... did you get to keep the basketball?

[Stuck in the 80`s]

My Ipod is loaded up with predominantly 80's tunes.

[Fact Check #1: State of U.S. Manufacturing]

Again, I don't see a broad problem for the economy unless the government does something really stupid like bailing out the losers who made these crappy mortgages in the first place or cranking up the Mint to paper-dollar over the losses.

Ha! Like the government would ever do something stupid like that!

 

Oh, wait ...
