Finally, I find a guy that other women agree is hot too.

I guess I know what movies I can rent with my 4 free blockbuster rental coupons.

Speaking of wifebeaters. I was listening to Mike and Mike in the morning, (I love those two together. They're a riot), and somehow the topic of wifebeaters came up. Greeny asked what a wifebeater was, and Golic explained it's a type of tshirt. Greeny never heard of them and asked if it was legal to go to a store and ask for a wifebeater.

Sorry, Greeny. I don't think prada makes a wifebeater.

I had never heard the term "wifebeater" until recently. We always called them Guinea T's. Guess that would be politically incorrect, although I guess wifebeater doesn't exactly top that list either.

I must be real old, we just called them undershirts. My son always wants me to buy him different color wifebeaters.

Ask DB and PL, I'm sure they'd be glad to spend hours figuring it out. :p But yeah, isn't that crazy? I wonder if they called each other to congratulate or anything. Supposedly they're "okay" with each other now, but I don't know.

Security guards.

Ah, Zia, I'm so sorry I haven't been here for you like you were for me during my playoff days, but just know, I'm rooting for you and your guys!

School has kept me way too busy (you know it's gone too far when you can't focus on sports! ), so I haven't been posting much, but I have been reading.

I just got a chance to read your playoff post, and wow, I can feel your energy and spirit from here! That video was awesome, and I can only imagine how pumped you must be!

I'll be on a school trip for a while, so I'd like to wish the best of luck to your boys! Keep up that wonderful excitement for the game, which I know you will.

Thanks Gi! Have fun on your trip, good luck!

Tip-off in 8 minutes. I'm ditching class for this! We better win.

What a crap game. My godfather and my uncle came over to watch with me, and they both blamed the Lakers' loss on me... "That's what you get for ditching class, thanks a lot." :rolleyes: Oh well, at least this means there's one more home game I can go to, Thursday.

I hope Raja Bell gets suspended for what he did to Kobe... he put his arm around Kobe's neck from behind and brought him down. He got ejected from the game, but there better be some more consequences! Or else he better not leave his hotel room when they come to L.A. on Thursday... he'll get shot or beaten to a pulp. Or both. Later in the interviews, he said "It was the heat of the moment, I overreacted a little bit." Yeah, just a little.

Did anyone see that fight on the field at the Angels game?! Is it just me, or is it like the best thing ever to see a fight on a baseball field? I just saw it on ESPN a few minutes ago, and I'm still kinda laughing from it. It actually cheered me up out of my bad mood from the Laker game.

There's nothing like a good fight at a baseball game to get you going. I didn't see it, but did the entire team come charging out of the dugout? Because those are the BEST fights!!

Ask DB and PL, I'm sure they'd be glad to spend hours figuring it out. :p [/b][/quote]

Good to see you pop in, DS. How are the wedding plans coming??

The Yankees not only won last night, but ARod finally came out of his hitting slump with an RBI that brought home Damon for the go-ahead run. About time he came through in the clutch!!

They're going.

Actually, most of the major things are done. I have to find a tux and I'm all set.

Men suck. I remember the shopping expeditions for my gown (not to mention the cost) and the endless fittings. My husband popped into the tuxedo rental store, and not only got it taken care of in one visit, but his was free because all of the other men in the wedding rented theirs at the same store!! Glad to hear that it's going well. Pop in and say hi to us more often!!

OK, I'm going to officially rename this The Thread Where SB Talks To Herself!! My boys won last night, thanks in no small way to a Grand Slam Home Run by Johnny Damon!! He has quite obviously managed to settle in playing for The Yankees, has he not??

Well, SB, it seems you were right on the money about the pardon for Toby. I hope it happens, especially beings it was Andy who fought for it. What a nice gesture, especially after showing the pics of the twins to add the guilt factor.

My Lakers have ended their playoff run, but at least they dragged it to Game 7. I don't know where the guys from Games 2, 3, and 4 went during the last 3 games, it's like a whole different team was playing towards the end. My theory is that the sexual assault accusations against Kwame Brown threw the whole team off... I'm thinking after everything they went through standing by Kobe through the rape charges, they probably were stressed out, hoping this won't be the same thing, Part II. Because it's right when that became public that they kind of fell apart.

Anyway, I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be. Being a fan is not about what is accomplished during one season, it's about a process, you know? And seeing how much they've improved as a team from last year to this year; actually even from this past November until now... it's really remarkable. For someone who's been there all season long, I look back and I'm happy just seeing that. It was a pretty historic season, with Kobe breaking records like no tomorrow. Being a Laker fan my whole life, I know this roller coaster is what they do best... ups and downs, you know? From the Kareem and Magic days, down to the "bleh" days of the mid-nineties, then back up to the peak of the Shaq and Kobe days, then back down... I think we're at the start of another "up" right now.

We have one of the youngest (if not THE youngest) teams in the NBA; which leaves so much room for improvement. Sasha, Smush, etc... just seeing how they played back in November and then seeing how they did during the playoffs-- they've come such a long way. With some good offseason moves now, next season can be really great. Like if we could get rid Brian Cook and Devean George and get just one good veteran player, I think we'd be perfect.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me and my Laker posts throughout this season, girls! Now it's time to put those Dodgers season tickets to good use.

West Wing was good last night, but 2 weeks in a row without Josh or Donna? That's like bringing you to a climax only to have someone say..."hold that thought, I'll get back to you".

I have officially become a Phantom of the opera junkie. I watched the movie 3 times over the weekend. On the official POTO webite there's a question and answer segment where they talk to Gerard Butler. His answers has a link where you hear him personally. Now, in the movie he mainly sings, and his accent is not visible, because of him being in character. My GOSH!!! This guys thick Scotish accent is freaking awesome. He sounds sooooooooo sexy. I definately gotta get his other movies now. I may never leave my house.

Zia, Sorry about your Lakers, but like you said, it was awesome that they made the playoffs at all. Now you can give your full attention to baseball.

Beth, I wasn't all that thrilled with WW last night. It wasn't bad, but it seemed like they were in a rush to resolve some things, and took their sweet time with others. A little too much CJ for my liking, although I was glad to see her and Toby together. Did you get the feeling that she was paying a booty call on Toby and he asked her to leave before they acted on it? I always thought that there was a little something unresolved between them. And you're right, are Josh and Donna lost in the Bermuda Triangle? I was so mad not to see them again!! And who the heck is going to be VP? Wouldn't he need to get that moving quickly, rather than worry about all these other stupid jobs that Santos is filling?

I never even thought of a Toby/C.J. pairing. I wouldn't like that one. Danny is good for her, so I can't imagine the writers trying to push her towards Toby. That is just too icky for me. I'm still wondering if she's his leak. They never did resolve that. I can't imagine them answering all these questions in next week's episode. I hope they do better then this week or it will be a big let down.

I think that there was definitely something between CJ and Toby, either in their past (remember, he was the one dispatched to hire her to work for Bartlett) or just something that they felt and never acted on due to working conditions. And when they went to hug, I thought for sure they were going to kiss, but he averted her lips. That was definitely a booty call in the making, and he put a stop to it, because he knew that she was just feeling vulnerable and afraid of the future. Rewatch it tonight on Bravo, and check it out.

Also, since this is the Ladies Thread, check out Toby's butt in that scene. NICE!!

Ahhhhh, I'll have to re-watch it tonight to notice Toby's butt. You know me! I don't recall the Toby/C.J. connection from the past, so maybe that's why I didn't put 2 and 2 together. I just thought she was nostalgic for the old days, and if she IS Toby's leak then she feels guilty.

Beth, I can't wait until you see the sequel to the Lara Croft movie. He's so insanely hot in it!

This interview is cute too, and funny... Craig Ferguson and Gerry Butler-- two hottest Scottish guys EVER.

I have GOT to rent that movie. Gerard is definately my hottie of the moment. He might even have me saying "Vinny who"? Hot looks, sexy bod and an accent to boot. Put a fork in me, I'm done.

Letizia...I just watched this interview. WHY did you do this to me. I may never leave my computer now.

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Craig: "They'll be after something else".

Gerard: "I'll be giving it".

*thump*

Wow. I thought I went into the Ladies thread and I walk into the Gerard Butler shrine thread. :p

I've seen two of the dude's movies.

Dracula 2000 - GREAT twist ending wasted on a horrifically bad movie. I can't say it enough - why did they waste this twist on this movie?

Phantom of the Opera - The movie version has grown on me. Butler, in my opinion, isn't that great of a singer (a poor man's Antonio Banderas ) but the producers were going for raw emotion which he supplied in spades. He contrasted very well with the Raoul actor, who I thought had the best voice in the cast. Emmy Rossum does an OK job for Christine.

All in all, it's still my favorite musical and I enjoy the music so I'll have the TV on while I'm busy doing other stuff.

What's your favorite song, Crabby?

There's supposed to be good acting and singing in Phantom? Now you tell me. I'm too busy oggling and crying when that ho Christine breaks The Phantom's heart. I've watched it over and over and still expect her to choose the Phantom. Rauoul is to womanly for me. Leave the two be, you trouble maker..hahaha.

My favorite song by far is Think of me. I just love the words. But a close second is Point of no return. Sizzling!!!!! I have the CD and I listen to it every night.

OK, OK, I want to see some Sports over here! Between the West Wing and Phantom, what the he** is going on!! My boy Jeter was on Letterman last night and he looked sooooooo hot!! OMG!! He had on a blue suit (it was a bit loud for my taste, but still...) and when he smiled, those dimples - bestill my heart (I actually mistyped that as "bestill my heat", which also would have been apropos).

The Yankees play Boston in the Bronx tonight. Should be exciting!!

Hey ladies - back from the trip, finally!

I feel so out of touch from this place. Big-time Internet withdrawal.

Zia, I'm sorry about your boys! I saw news on the final four at the hotel, and when I realized your guys weren't a part of it, I thought of you - I almost said something out loud, but nobody would've understood. Anyway, you handled it like a true sport, and you've got such great optimism. More fans should be like you.

My boys were a train wreck while I was gone, and the only positive thing I can make of it is that maybe it's because I wasn't there for them...and now that I'm back, they'll be better than ever! I hope...

WELCOME BACK GINA!
