And while "men swear" to demonstrate their manliness no doubt, it could also be "men's wear" , two words which would necessitate a wooden block for an apostrophe. Maybe one for a hyphen should also be added to the black bag. The point is any suggestion that Mr. Glass got away with one is incorrect; however "more doughy", rings more truly than "doughier". Again, "blessings on the both of you" and let's leave it at that.<br />cpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-59377120857378696332011-02-25T20:24:45.790-08:002011-02-25T20:24:45.790-08:00men swear. two wordsmen swear. two wordsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-81560753497964750972011-02-25T14:55:36.656-08:002011-02-25T14:55:36.656-08:00Nice...

I'll admit my esteem for Ebert increased 100-fold when I learned he was a fan and friend of Herzog. Fittingly, it took Herzog to uncover the value of Ebert's insight, much as he did for for the Wodaabe in Herdsmen of the Sun.

Since anytime he steps off the ice it could be the last time we ever see him, I just think "thanks buddy" and feel good about those 45 seconds or so that he helped us out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-18742284302797385372011-02-25T12:38:39.262-08:002011-02-25T12:38:39.262-08:00I have to agree with Raymond's play... I like ...I have to agree with Raymond's play... I like how he moved from the perimeter, taking higher percentage shots and passes. I also like the contact... He did not try to go through anybody but at least let people know he was there. <br /><br />My man crush on Schneider has grown yet again and I immediately wiped a tear when he received his second consecutive First Star as he is going to be sorely missed... He is such a solid goalie and has great character. If anything he is the prototypical player that Gillis has outlined. I heard Pratt & Taylor talk about AV's viable option to pull Luongo and run with Schneider if Lui has a meltdown. I really have a hard time believing that. The only chance Schneider will see any playoff ice time is if Lui is injured. He may not wear the 'C' anymore but he will be the one to go down with the ship if it does sink. Sad but unfortunately true. <br /><br />Hopefully no one watches what the Blues do to the Sedins because once they got their one point each they sure spent a lot of time in their own zone. The twins are long overdue for a stinker which some of the weak passes for turnovers can be described as. I love that their 'weak' game still includes points and a win. Basically shutting down the Sedins can now actually be used as a strength to open up other lines... Maybe I do hope other teams watch tape!<br /><br />One last thought... Any chance the Blues would flip Backes now that they have Stewart... I really love that whole line... Let's hope they continue to lose and make some rash decisions in the final hours before the deadline and that we get a chance to capitalize.RhadLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277251177342033319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-58329874881392246362011-02-25T11:15:20.865-08:002011-02-25T11:15:20.865-08:00I've been legitimately impressed by the latest...I've been legitimately impressed by the latest round of poems from chicken chick.
