Deleted. I won't bother anyone again.

No, I had not heard of them, Carolyn, strangely enough. How fun! Thanks for the heads up.

Kraftwerk in Denver. Now I can't get SNL's old Sprockets skit with Dieter out of my head. My better half said the show was "the best synchronized mouse-clicking I've ever seen." Which is slightly better than the Star-Tribune's take on the Minn. show: "...all the flair of a power-point presentation at a mortgage-foreclosure seminar..." Linky

Be wary of any durability claims. After trying out different treadmills in hotel gyms, we settled on a residential equivalent of the Life treadmills that are in many W Hotels. What helped to nudge us in this direction is that the place where we had purchased a Schwinn exercise bike a few years earlier that we were happy with had changed to exclusively selling Life Fitness. We spent several thousand dollars and have started having problems with the two control units (sometimes the manual speed controls don't work, it will only ask you to enter a total exercise time every other time you set the

hahahaha. You really have to see it animated to get the full effect. Tigger looks like he is totally stoked to be receiving special "woodland" services from his buddy. Maybe Santa will bring me one since I’ve been naughty.

Our neighbors have a really pervy-looking, inflatable, animated, light-up Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Christmas decoration in their front yard. Here is a picture to give you an idea: Tigger Getting Extra-Friendly Service From His Pal Has anyone else seen this display when Pooh is moving up-and-down, in-and-out of the honey pot and thought "WTF?!" Reminded me a little of Hallmark's "Piglet's First Ride" ornament...

I TiVo-ed this a while back and never watched it until a bout of insomnia early Friday morning, but in case you missed it, Frank Bonanno of Mizuna/Luca won the Food Network Challenge in the mac-and-cheese cook-off, beating out Oprah's favorite Delilah and three other chefs. In my opinion, he also won the battle of the local chefs (as well as beating out Tim "Lose the Hat, Cowboy" Love from DFW) at the James Beard Foundation's Taste America dinner at Panzano on Sep. 28th with his Heirloom Butternut Squash Soup with Foie Gras Mousse and Spiced Pumpkin Bread Crostini.

Actually, it was a near-castration (by a church deacon against a...wait for it...meat cutter at Sam's Club): "He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body," said Thomas' attorney, Carl Hughes. "He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse." Neither of the men involved attended OU or UT (not surprising).

Mmmmm. I am book-marking this site. He looks like he could use a hand...

Looks like a soccer ball. Because...um...you know...he played professional soccer for the LA Galaxy too. Thanks for the piccie, Rancho. In your honor, I'm using the Rio Fuego sauce tonight.

I used to watch him on Melrose Place and always thought he had a nice...um...personality.

Who knew that Mr. Jones was a Closet Duranie?

Thanks for the write-up, Hoff. Any idea what their wine mark-ups are like across-the-board? No prices on their website. Something tells me I'd probably need a second mortgage in order to drink the Lafite. (Although we had so much vino at the James Beard Dinner on Friday that I am considering abstaining until our anniversary on the 11th.) Why does their name keep reminding me of Legionnaire's Disease?
