Man U. as I find them to be much more entertaining but, I am a *diehard* supporter of neither.

However, I think Drogba?sp is the most talented and dangerous striker in the Prem.
Now, I can just see the stones being hurled my way from Max and others.

Those brain sturgeons make too much damn money!
Now, if they only had time and energy to actually watch a movie at home rather than fall asleep after about 15 min.

Hey Brain Sturgeon, just wondering, are you on staff at Barnes-Jewish Hosp./Washington University ?
They’ve got quite the good rep.

[Penton-Man]

Now, I’ve got to run to set up chairs for an *event*, oh,……. and I cook too.

Oh, come come now.. We make a decent living but we earn it. Lawyers on the other hand... (sorry, just had to get one in for Counselor Tomlin and his colleagues )

You know, that bit about sleeping is frighteningly accurate. I was trying to watch I, Robot in the theater last night after a long day and fell asleep about 30 minutes in... BTW, for those of you who haven't seen it-- WOW, is it a spectacular transfer. "Reach into the screen" kinda picture...

I did my residency at Barnes-Jewish/Wash U and came very close to taking a job there after my fellowship; but the stars weren't quite right and I found a better job a little further west of the city proper. I still attend functions/conferences there, and I remain very close to the department (neurosurgery, like Hollywood, is a small world).

My wife is a Wash U physician at BJ. Excellent hospital, but they've got to learn to treat their physicians better. Many have left for private practice jobs in the area for a variety of reasons, $$$ probably being the biggest.

One of my best friends is a neo-natal ICU nurse (yes one of the only males in the field, yes I constantly harrass him that I know why he REALLY took the job)

Tell me, does a sturgeon offer an advantage over the babelfish? Doesn't it have trouble fitting?

[dialog_gvf]

OK, what's the deal with the babelfish and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie?

Why couldn't they say babelfish in the movie?

[WickyWoo]

They did. They just said it british style. Babblefish

Funny you should mention that. One of the Neonatal ICU nurses at Children's Hospital in St. Louis was a Miss Missouri for the Miss USA pageant.... just smokin' hot. One of my fellow residents (who is now staff at Barnes-Jewish) got up the nerve to ask her for a date. Totally, flatly denied. It wasn't even a courteous thing like, "thanks, I'm very flattered, but no". It was a "NO!", turn and walk away thing. Guess she must've got a lot of that there....

"$1,000 an ounce."

"Why is lawyer brain so much more?"

"Do you know how many lawyers we had to kill to get one ounce of brain?"

I LOL'd!

If it's any consolation, my sis is a lawyer-- trusts and estates. I give her crap all the time... When my wife and I went to her graduation, we got a slight taste of how the 101st felt at Bastogne-- totally surrounded by the enemy.

Mum’s the word.

Plus, this time I'm learning, as I'm recording the following 3 shows just in case the match goes to penalty kicks.

Same situation here.
If she ever posts on an internet forum (of any type), I fear for all of mankind.

P.S.
Just teasing Rob.

That means there is one papa duck (or momma duck) followed by a large group of ducklings which can never really all fit into your hospital room in the morning to ask you the same thing everyday........when you just want to go back to sleep.

Thanks , as I guess that post must have been revealing.
I plan to watch the match this weekend.
It will be a real pleasure for me to see that kind of soccer quality in HD, as all the Premier League games I receive thru my cable provider are in SD.
