a far, far cry, apparently, from that awful, callow thing who tossed a league record 49 touchdowns two years ago.

Which just happened to be the year the NFL changed the rules on contact with the wide recievers to favor quarterbacks and wideouts. World-class fucko and influential Colts general manager Bill Polian whined until this rule went into effect after the Patriots humiliated the Colts in the playoffs.

You see, Senators. There's a name for a team. Bit of gravitas. Over time, you realise it's not the winning or the losing, but the dignity of the game.

Were there any good hockey fights, Justrix?

Okay, I fucking read the thing.

It's interesting to note that if Manning were a head coach today, the obsessive film study and attention to detail would get him labeled a genius, a la Belichick.

I'm sorry, but I've listened to how Manning "religiously studies the film" for about five years. More bullshit. They call the guy a genius about eight times a day on ESPN. Oh, also, Belichick has three championships and a 13-3 postseason record (IIRC). Manning has one and a 6-6 record.

"His affability takes on an overtone of insincerity," writes one critic. "After the fourth Peyton Manning endorsement, it takes a pretty lunkheaded viewer not to realize he's only in it for the money." No, it takes a lunkheaded viewer not to realize it after the first commercial. Besides, the spots aren't all that bad. The most memorable of the bunch has him cheering on a series of commoners, in the manner of a rabid sports fan: "Let's go, insurance adjusters, let's go!" For what it's worth, he has a better comic instinct than Tom Brady.

Just to defend my guy, Brady has insisted that advertisers include some of the lesser lights of the team if they want to get him (the Sirius satellite radio commercial with his wide reciever core, the Visa commercial with his offensive line), and in the cases where he's a solo endorser, he goes for the big bucks (Movado watches and Cadillac). Manning will endorse anything, and in the most recent commercial, he even finds a spot to show off his new house. I just fuckin' hate that guy.

My comp is tempermental.

You are so right, Haus. Senators, is a great name, but it is the Ottawa team, (Canada's capital city). A very good team and almost satirical presence, as they are the team that the long-time rivals of Montreal and Toronto now focus their rage on, instead of each other. Well, at least not as viciously as historical accounts would conclude.

So, between the rivalry of Montreal and Toronto, we can blame Ottawa. Which, is indeed the case whether in sports or politics.

The Sens are not a real fighting team so, the game was played hard, but the fights were less than bloody. There was a shoot out to put Toronto on top.

Yarr!

Anyone else up and about?

06:34 / 06.02.07

More or less.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

04:14 / 07.02.07

I continue to exist, rustling gently in the dark-moored wind. Rustle, rustle.

I'm going to take some Buckleys and hopefully drift into a spiral of uncertain dreams.

I bet everyone is in bed now, what time is it in the states - is Lost on? Why can't we have a global TV? All the worlds problems would be solved if TV was the same in every country. There would be no war if everyone watched Big Brother at the same time...

And what about Phil and Fern, don't tell me the world wouldn't be a better place if people watched This Morning together it would need to change its name of course due to timezones but they could just call it 'This' - tell me I'm wrong.

I'm around.

BUT WHERE'S MY FUCKING SNOW???

01:24 / 08.02.07

Snow? Why Snow? I miss snow actually...

I just played Bark at the Moon by Ozzy on Guitar Hero it's my turn again in a second but I'm not sure what to play, possibly Ziggy Stardust - yeah!

01:27 / 08.02.07

I got the coldness on the way back from the pub. But no snow.

No snow.

Is this a cunning plot by you, Stoatski?

"Oh no mate *crinkle crunkle*, no snow up here *crunk* hee heeeeeeeeee"

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:46 / 08.02.07

The papers are saying up to seven inches of snow is expected overnight.

Ooh... it's just started, but it's pretty piss-poor snow so far.

02:06 / 08.02.07

I got yer snow right here!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:47 / 08.02.07

Snow's getting better...

02:49 / 08.02.07

Im rather tired of the snow and cold for this year. I've had enough. I want the spring and the melting and the muddy country roads.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:54 / 08.02.07

See, we very rarely get snow at all in London, so when we do I'm like a little kid.

03:11 / 08.02.07

Are you telling me that those wintery scenes from A Christmas Carol was nothing but blatant lies???

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:13 / 08.02.07

No, they were just before global warming.

03:15 / 08.02.07

and before they coloured the world.

04:45 / 08.02.07

A magical time...

05:11 / 08.02.07

What up kids? I miss anything on barbelith lately?

05:27 / 08.02.07

I am bored.

20:16 / 09.02.07

wakey wakey, talk to me before my connection unexpectedly fails again.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

22:14 / 09.02.07

I'm at work. By "late" I mean 4:15pm here. What's up?

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:51 / 10.02.07

Sigh. The library would be so much more fun to work at tonight if there was some French house music pumping through ridiculous speakers so I could at least glide around, rather than this painfully dull one-foot-in-front-of-the-other crap.

01:44 / 10.02.07

The funny thing is that I knew from experience that if I read the Sexy Party thread while drinking, whatever I was drinking would wind up sprayed over my monitor. And yet! And yet I continued to read, and to drink.

Despite breathing my drink into my lungs several times while gasping with laughter, I feel wonderful.

02:04 / 16.02.07

I am now bored. Dare me to do something.

02:04 / 16.02.07

I have a lemon.

02:12 / 16.02.07

make lemonade..c'mon I dare you!

02:13 / 16.02.07

Keggers! I knew you would save me! Ok brb.

02:27 / 16.02.07

I even made sparkling lemonade.

02:50 / 16.02.07
