Have I mentioned I love hubcaps??? Bmaz, we got stuck at the airport last night because of the snow in Boston. It was killing me to miss the trash talk what with the Cards victory and Polamalu making the Ravens’ lives miserable, but at least we got to see most of the Steelers game. Mr. Phred was most pleased : )

By the way, Bob in HI, on the off chance you might take a peek back here, the answer to your problem is magnets. I worked in a building with movable metal walls, we used magnets to put stuff up everywhere. I thought it was weird when I first got there, but after I left, I really missed the convenience of putting things up with magnets.

Heard that it’s been 61 years since the Cards won the NFL enchilada (sp)
Next to the Cubbies, the worse consecutive losing streak…

Cubs, Absence From World Series Agree To 4-Year Extension

CHICAGO—At a press conference Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs and their absence from the World Series announced an agreement to a four-year contract extension, with an option for another six years.

“The relationship between the Cubs and their absence from the World Series is strong, as both sides have shown loyalty to each other for the past 63 years,” Cubs chairman Crane Kenney said. “It’s something the fans have come to expect. Why, I remember sitting around the fire as a boy, talking with my grandfather about how the Cubs would never make it to another World Series. I only hope my children and their children and their children’s children have the same opportunity.” Despite rumors, absence from the World Series would not admit to holding closed-door talks with the Mets.

History of Steeler owner’s race blindness makes him Obama’s team.

…I wonder if we could do a Celtics Lakers trash talk thread and get Jane interested. The Lakers won the first of two regular season games in LA so the Celtics are surely looking forward to the rematch.

Watching the games and commenting here on the trash talk thread with you guys was awesome. Thanks all, thanks EW

JTMinIA @ 345
That’s what it seems like. This is the second apt I’ve been in, in Honolulu, with this kind of wall. However, the guy at the hardware store seems to be convinced that it’s really just concrete. He sold me a drill bit that’s supposed to penetrate it. We’ll see. Meanwhile, I got me some adhesive hooks and some ”hard wall hooks” that have 4 small pins several mm long to drive into the wall that I’m going to try. But the adhesive stuff, at best, will only hold a few pounds, and I’ve got some large pics I want to hang, in frames with plexiglass covers.

BTW, I like the Steelers vs Cardinals for the final. Its obviously not what the NFL bigwigs wanted, but should be a great game, given the way both have been playing!

Thanks for helping,
Bob in HI

“Spidey and Boldin are the best receiving duo in the league”

Close – Spidey is the best receiving duo in the league all by himself with his 8 arachnoid arm-legs filled with nuked hemoglobules – whereas that other guy appears to be competing for Most Likely To Piss Off The Offensive Co-ordinator, Kill Team Spirit & Find His Ass On A Plane Trip To Oakland.

Well, may be HE’s oblivious to their fate, but, despite Bidwell – someone with the long-proven ability to take owning an NFL franchise – a role a moron could succeed at – to such staggering depths of ineptitude & gullibility, that his team’s recent success must surely be owing in part to his current diminished capacity, the last two exhibitions of Spidey-tude have given me that rarest of things over the course of having watched 43 Super Bowls: a side to cheer for.
