Question - has the clock tower at Shaw Millennium Park always counted the hours from the base of the clock up to whatever hour it currently is? I know it's always had the digital time at the top that blinks, but I do not remember seeing the "count" on there until this summer. Our windows have faced this darn thing for 3 years - so I'm really curious if it's new or if I've missed it for almost three years.

End of the third quarter, I'm backing St. Kilda all the way. They seem like the underdog, right?

I picked up a $10 pair of slipper/houseshoes tonight at Wal-Mart that I think I'm going to really enjoy wearing....not least of all because they kept me from caving and buying the fake Crocs that were on for $7.92.....why does every trip to Wal-Mart take a couple hours and cost like $200?!?!? When did it become so Costco like???? I feel so white trash now...

You should. Every time I walk into Wal Mart now I feel kinda dirty. Especially since I've started eating their food.

Its hard to tell with that sport. I must've watched over 6 matches (2 live) and had countless people try to explain it to me but still couldn't wrap my head around it. Its crazy though, it takes some wicked skill.

But then again, I couldn't explain football to them either no matter how hard I tried when we watched the Superbowl so it goes both ways I suppose.

Are you sure it's their food that makes you feel dirty and not being an Oilers fan?

OK, so Purell kills 99.9% of germs. What is the .01 Denzel Washington Training Day germ that won't die? God, that thing scares me more than the swine flu.

"Who is Xu Xianmin?" he asked.
"I am," Lin's mother replied.
"You are Lin Zhao's mother? Your daughter has been suppressed. Pay the five-fen bullet fee."
The older woman was confused. The police officer spoke again, his voice rising. "Hurry and pay the five-fen bullet fee. Your daughter has been executed, by gunshot."

I watched Robocop for the first time in years. I had no idea that the dad from That 70's Show was the evil villain in that movie!

It's not that hard, if you punt it within the posts you get 6 points, if you miss within the little posts it's 1 points like a 'rouge'.

Other than that there aren't that many rules, just listen to the announcers.

Yeah St. Kilda were underdogs, they said they hadn't won the title in 43 years.
