I have Florida, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Louisville in my Final Four. Louisville v. Michigan St. in the final game and the Spartans taking it all. So far, Dayton over Ohio State in round 1....check. Pitt routing Colorado Wisconsin routing American Harvard and Cincinnati in the early stages.....

If that's the case, then why no "excuuuuse me" statements in '79 or '80? Not that it really matters, just interesting why it was only said in the US for the '77 tour and never after - but "Oh Jimmy..." was continued. That's really my basis for thought.

Easy now, Strider! LET'S GO ORANGE!!! :cheer: I'm stuck at work until shortly after tip-off of the 'cuse game - then it's on, baby!!! Start of spring break and I get to lay in bed all day tomorrow to watch all the happenings (after having some minor surgery!).... Happy Birthday pph!

Not a surprise, why would he want to get anywhere near that mess?

A lot of things could be happening..... Just like what was said above, enough with "stories" already media.

Completely agree SAJ. It seems that every "story" contradicts the next one. Last word I have heard is that the pilot's home flight simulator files were deleted? It just seems too obvious that he is the cause of this. Mentally ill and took the whole plane down with him? Doesn't seem to be a terrorist plot or political agenda based on a lack of boasting or claiming of responsibility.... My point only was that this apparent loss of hundreds of lives doesn't need to be trivialized.

^ Go 'cuse!

Very sad for Mick. In a world where it is tough to find a true love/friend to share your life with, how devastating must it be to lose them - no matter what the cause. Thoughts have been with him since I read the news yesterday. RIP Ms. Scott.

Except one is about a music release and the other is about over 200 lives at stake....so, not really.

What has now become the Bristol Spring Nite Race....after a couple of rain delays. Go #4!

Bron Yr Aur has always been tops for me. After that piece: All My Love The Rain Song I'm Gonna Crawl Going To California Tangerine Thank You Down By The Seaside Since I've Been Loving You Ten Years Gone Would round out my top-ten.

Given that he only used the "excuuuuuuse me" part on the '77 tour is what pointed me in that direction. Steve Martin was extremely popular, as was that saying, in that time period. He kept the "Oh Jimmy!" part past that tour, but not the other aforementioned part. I guess we would have to ask Robert, unless SAJ has record of any conversations where that was addressed.

Counterparts kicks ass, IMO. Cold Fire is one of my all-time favorite Rush songs. Their latest was fantastic as well!

Fun race today! That start was insane! I root for Raikkonen also, he had his hands full today! I didn't realize that Nikki Lauda was still involved in Mercedes' engineering. Tough luck for Hamilton. Bristol currently in rain delay....

It was a take on a Steve Martin, from Saturday Night Live, comedy routine that was very popular in the 70's. "Well excuuuuuuse me!". I'm sure you can find a clip of it on YouTube.

Thanks for the reminder! Setting the dvr to tape it - 2 am our time here. Who do you root for, drivers or a certain manufacturer? Enjoy! Hamilton is driving Mercedes?

I'm sure my father-in-law is as well.... Animal House

RIP David Brenner.

I agree, I was thinking about where I stood in the "number line" when I ordered the 3 super deluxe sets the first day of the presale.

Since it was first being linked to their official website, I would believe the super deluxe pre-ordered through here would definitely be part of the 30,000 numbered series. Sam, do you have any information about this?

Enjoy, ebk! Today should be even better weather than yesterday! My son is going with his grandfather to see the Cards take on the Braves at LBV. His grandfather knows many in the Cardinals organization and they are guests of the head of the umpires union, so they are gonna get to go on the field, in the instant replay area, etc. Last week we went to the Yanks/Astros game in Kissimmee and had 3rd row seats behind home plate. The kid is getting a good start to the season, that's for sure! Hope you have an awesome dinner tonight at Bern's! I still haven't gotten over there to enjoy that legendary place, but its on my list to take Mrs. Walter, after we get past this "life bump".

OK, I'll bite.... First, you have said a number of times after work you sit down, drink Budweisers, smoke Marlboros, and surf this website. That was your self-proclamation. Given the time and content of your nonsensical post, it is not much of a stretch to say you'd been drinking. As far as stirring up sh!t goes, you've been called out on a number of times, in a number of threads, by a number of different members, that you come in and just keep repeating yourself, hoping to incite some form of reaction to your pointless posts and horrific language arts skills. As for your personal attack against me, you seem like such a lonely individual, there is not much I could say to put you down any lower than you already appear to be. Back to baseball (one word)......

I don't know if this is a positive statement or not, but in a U.S. prison, I doubt he would make it out alive.

Yes, I big 'thank you' to Sam for making it so easy to order these packages! I went directly to Amazon first, the super deluxe didn't come up and thought what the f*ck am I doing here - just follow the link over at ledzep.com!!! So easy, plus the price has already dropped for me once!
