Song of the Day:
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
This Day in History:

Today's Birthday's:
Actor Tom Hanks, 48
These hats are still cool, despite what people may tell you. I really wish hats like this would come back into style. But I think it went the way of Old Spice, to tell you the truth. Everyone associates it with their grandparents, so it can't be good anymore, can it? Well, you're wrong. I happen to like the smell of Old Spice, but at teh same time, I get that I smell like an old man if I were to put it on. SO I'll spend the rest of my life looking for a scent LIKE Old Spice, but isn't. And by the time I find something, I'll be an old man who can wear Old Spice. The Government must hand it out with Social Security checks. "65? Here's your money, and here's your cologne. Make sure you use 2 bottles a day, whether you want to or not. And of course, we'll have to confiscate your Ralph Lauren bottles. Now Now, you knew the day would come. Hand it over, Pops."
Yet another reason to pray for an early death.

Hometown Hotties Returns!
If you remember from long ago, we were able to decide on 3 women who would have to move on to the next round, leaving 7 spots open. the 3 that were assured spots were Heidi of KS, Sonia of AZ, and Michelle of MI. While I am SLIGHTLY disheartened to learn that all 3 girls have determined that size DOES MATTER, I am sure that they have earned their spots in the HOMETOWN HOTTIE TOP 10.
So who is left from my list to make up the last 7 spots? I don't expect you to remember. We have Maggie of CT, Mindy of MO, Lizzy of WI, Angelica of TX, Kristyl of FL, Gina of CA,Lidia of TX, Crystal of OH, Melissa of Fl, Stacie of AL, Brittany of GA, and Martina of AZ.
After looking things over, there isn't any way I can leave Lidia off. One, she reminds me of my own Lydia. 2, she's hot,and has been to Brazil. And also doesn't have hang-ups about size or men's underwear.
So we have 6 spots, and 11 women to choose from. Ah, life is good. Brittany of GA is gorgeous, and the garters and such look fantastic on her. She has long beautiful legs, and is simply amazing. She says she doesn't wear underwear, which is exciting, and sexy, and terrifying all at the same time. But something about the eyes says "stone cold bitch". And I am probably way way wrong, but you can see how hard the choices are when I have to make up reasons to eliminate girls.
Stacie of Opp, AL is eliminated as well, since she didn't bother to completely fill out the form, not allowing us to get (cop?) a feel for her personality.
Is it possible to love and hate a job at the same time?
Maggie of CT makes the list, even if she breaks the tatoo rule. IN fact, it may be because of her pretty butterfly tattoo that she's moving on. I don't know. All I know is how my body is reacting to her pictures.
Gina of Ca makes it as well. She's been to Italy, she's got a fantastic smile, and nothing about her says that she has a mean bone in her body. Though she's giving me one. Err, uh....I mean, she's lucky girl #6.
Crystal of OH won't be able to make it, for no other reason than we didn't get to see as much of her as we had hoped. Lovely girl, though. That means there are 6 girsl left and 4 spots. Until I eliminate Melissa of FL. Tough decisions at touch times, but she had a stay at the PLayboy mansion for 5 days. Somethng tells me we'll see more of her in the future.
I could eliminate Mindy of MO because she looks terrible in yellow, and Lizzy becauase she's a Packers fan (and she has that hard look as well, but I don't mind having one girl different than what I'm used to in there), Angelica looks to have a cute layer of baby fat that will never go away, and Martina could be eliminated because the only thing keeping her in this competition for me is her smile in the first picture. But it's SUCH a lovely smile. She's gorgeous, but it doesn't come across as well in the other pictures. She just looks better with slightly less curly hair. Ugh.
Kristyl? I don't have a reason. The right # of piercings and tatoos. Kristyl of Fl moces on,and is the blondest of all my choices, I think.
Martina is eliminated, though if we ever meet, I'd never be able to look her in the eye. (Never mind the fact I probably wouldn't have been looking at her eyes if I had voted for her, anyway.)
Minnesota Twins
So the Twins have picked up the pace by going out and pitching 3 straight shutpouts against a terrible Royals team. And then took another against a Detroit Tigers team that has better offense, but is still bumbling in the field. It's all well and good for now, but it seems more an aberration than real life. I don't think people will feel confident about this team until Shannon Stewart comes back. And when he does come back, the Twins ahve some big choices to make.
The outfield is set with Ford, Jones and Hunter. Witht he way Ford is playing, you can't take him out. Nor Hunter. That leaves Jones, who's great in the clutch, and provides quite a spark to the team. He's the guy that has just enough attitude to give the team an edge. If Stewart comes back, then one of these guys is headed to the DH spot, or to the bench. Now, DH wouldn't be so bad, because it would allow for LeCroy to come off the bench as a pinch hitter. And as a pinch hitter, he's 4-4 with 3 HR's and 1 double. But he has to get his regular hacks too. And he isn't going to get them at catcher, where Joe Mauer is showing that all the hype he got at the beginning of the season was right on target, instead of being overblown like we all thought.
Well, Lecroy can play first. And taht's good, because Dougie M has hurt his wrist again, and needs some breaks. Besides, Doug isn't hitting well until recently.
And then there's Mike Cuddyer. He can play outfield. BUt that's crowded and cramped as is. He can play 1st. Ooops. got enough guys there already. Well, it's a good thing that he can play 2nd and 3rd. Oh...right. Nick Punto. Well, Koskie needs a frequent rest as well.
But you can see what I am getting at. This team has alot of guys, and it's going to be hard getting everyone involved. I'm just glad I'm not the manager ion all of this.
There was also talk of Mike Ryan coming back from injury to play the outfield. Uh, that would be BAD. That jsut makes an even bigger mess out of all of htis.
I think that when Stewart comes back, you'll see an outfielder or two moved to make some room, and to add a pitcher to a starting rotation that seems to be one quality pitcher short. Not that the guys we have are bad mind you, but terry Mulholland should be in the bullpen. Last nights effort notwithstanding.
Los Angeles Lakers
I haven't always hated the Lakers. I was never a fan, but I didn't hate them. But now, I hope the team loses out on every front they've got going. I hope Kobe signs with another team (and I hope he ends up in jail, forcing that team to pay an incarcerated felon an obscene amount of money, thus providing Karmic balance to the universe.)I hope that they're forced to trade Shaq and get kibble in return. And I have nothing against Rudy Tomjonovich (bad karma to cheer AGAINST a recovring cancer patient you know), the Lakers need to suffer for unning Phil Jackson out of town. I've always been a Phil guy since the Bulls days, and he deserved better treatment than that.
Never cheer against the Laker Girls, however.
