Very nice! I really like the color too.

Now, if we can convince Stan (and they've reinstated his TDL) to get a van, all the GB 4'll be vaners.

Anonymous said...

Ha! Maybe he's got one a those VW vans. I could picture him having one like the one Hurley drove into The Others... but with a reeeeaally good stereo.

Hey, GB read your Wash Post quote on his Fox show. With the lights dimmed...and Barry White in the background. :)

Linda said...

It's cool, got a year of Sirius radio. (Makes me wish I drove more.) I'm in talk radio heaven...set my presets: Fox News, Left, Patriot, and NPR. Aren't I fair and balanced?
The music is Siriusly Sinatra, 80's, and Broadway. I realize this will do nothing to increase my hip factor, but hey.

RecknHavic said...

Ha! You pegged it about Stan me thinks.

Enjoy your Sirius, but one question...no Howard Stern?

Linda said...

I think I got too old for Howard after he left FM. Ok, a little before that.

Linda said...

Boy, that icy mix is trying to reach you guys. I think you should stay up all night looking for snow. Ours started, so I can go to bed. ;) That's one big storm..have you checked it out on radar, backed way up? Kinda neat. We're gettin the same storm system.
good night!

RecknHavic said...

Been watchin it. Not gonna get my hopes up tho...ok, alittle.
we might get some ice, wahoo!! In the mornin, I'm buildin an ice man and later the kids are gonna make ice angels.

I love winter.

gn & good driven!

Stan Rosenthal said...

Lin., keep listening to the variety. Until you get so sick of the right-wing lies that you're only listening to left-wing talk, of course. :-)

FYI: I've never owned a van. I have driven vans, though. And I never got into an accident in any of 'em. :-)

Linda said...

No accidents in vans, eh? Let's hope the same goes for me. Tho I've never gotten in one in any kinda car. Nor have I gotten a ticket, btw. Got pulled over twice, but I can be charming. :)

Drove the boys today..dicey out there. D called..he's been driving for 2 hours tryin to get to work. (Usually 35-40 min.) Pretty, tho.

"In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress."
John Adams

Linda said...

Never heard of John Adams.

This is interesting...weather guy just said that this time last year, we'd had 26.2 inches of snow fall. So far this season we've had 45.7...and our average for the whole season is 44ish.
Ok, maybe that was just interesting to me.

RecknHavic said...

Durn global warming. It produces colder, snowier winters don't ya know. If we don't soon curb man-made greenhouse gases from heatn up our planet past the point a no return, we're all gonna freeze to death!

Very funny.

I'm seein The Wrestler at 1:20. Yes, I'm on a mission. Mickey Roarke's lookin like he might get Best Actor for that, so I should see it. Not a wrestlin fan, tho. Ugh..the sacrifices I make. ;)

RecknHavic said...

Mickey Roark as a wrestler..you're brave. So, how was it? Oscar worthy?

Anonymous said...

Mm..brave. I'll say.
It was..sad and sorta dark. A raw account of the life of a wrestling has-been. He was great. Not sure how much of a stretch it was artistically. (No offense to Mickey, but he sorta blew his career w/ drugs awhile back. This is a "comeback" for him.) Closed my eyes for some of it.
Basically, not my cup a tea, but I'm glad I saw it. The popcorn sucked.

RecknHavic said...

A dark Mickey Roark movie, go figure. Hope it wasn't like Angel heart, THAT was a disturbin movie.

Wow! Did you watch Lost yet? Talk about unexpected.

Linda said...

I never saw that. I'm guessing that's a good thing.

Yeah, I just finished it. What part are you talking about? I'm having a little hard time wrapping my brain around the time travel. (They didn't have nearly enough going on in this show...thank goodness they added time travel to make us think!) So when the light comes and time changes, the time is changing for the island, right? So why does everyone else disappear, but the castaways and Juliette, and the "rescuers" stay there? Why wouldn't they be somewhere else, too? Why Reck? Why?

Nestor said...

Reck,

Blame Al Gore for the nationwide freezing temps. He was speaking about global warming today.

Hey Linda!

That thing gotta Hemi?

RecknHavic said...

Charles Whitmore is an Other, That's pretty wowifiable.

That's a darn good question. Hafta think about it.
Maybe it's Richard aka the devil messin w/ em. Course he *SUPPOSEDLY* didn't recognize Locke.

RecknHavic said...

Yes, it's GORE'S fault! Finally, somethin they can't blame on Bush.

Nestor said...

Check out the picture of the day on Glenn's website.

It's "Keep Austin Weird" at its finest.

Stan Rosenthal said...

Nestor, I don't even remember what Bleck's (tm) website is. Post a link please?

Lin, nothing like an icestorm here in Houston as the freezeline is like around Hunstville North of us. But my girlfriend in Ft. Worth mentioned that it's hell on ice up there (not her words.) She let her son go out for like what was supposed to be only 45 minutes and he only returned like 2 hours later. I told her like: but hey, he does that when it's not in an ice storm as well!

Linda said...

Stan, that's good you guys didn't get hit with that. It looked just ugly on the weather channel. I didn't know you had a girl...tell her she should move to Houston.

Linda said...

Morning!
In the middle of the night I had this dream..I was pulling all this stuff out of my ear. Q-tips, metal stuff, cotton balls, a bunch of stuff. A couple hours later I wake to D snorin like mad, so I reach over to my bedstand table and put an earplug in. AH HA!! Finally figured out a dream! My subconcious was tryin to tell me to put somethin in my freakin ear!

Linda said...

That Austin sign's a riot. If you think about it, they're lucky that's all it said.

RecknHavic said...

It's pretty clever. I wanna be a hacker!

I dreamt I was gettn a haircut. Guess I needa haircut.

"Charles Whitmore is an Other, That's pretty wowifiable."

I guess so, but I'm not sure what it MEANS, ya know? I don't even remember who those people are anymore. They're not the Dharma folks, so why are they there again? I've done a really good job of stayin on this show for 4 years, but I'm startin to forget stuff now.

RecknHavic said...

Sounds like you may be at that "Heroes" moment I went through w/ that show prior to no longer watchin it.

Apparently the rivalry between Whitmore and Ben goes way back. still can't figure out why noone else except Flight people, boat people and the doc chic (who's been there for several yrs and was an other at one point) are the only ones who transport through time.
Hmmm...

Linda said...

That's right. So we'll probably see Ben show up with his dad soon then. Then maybe we'll see interaction between Ben and Whitmore.

I know. I'm tryin to think..is it the PEOPLE who are being transported or the island? Either way, it still doesn't make sense. Maybe I'll try and find a Lost chat place. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Linda said...

Alright, here are 2 interesting LOST links if you're so inclined:

Nestor said...

Stan,

It's a tough one. www.glennbeck.com

Hopefully the pic will still be up by the time you get a chance to check it out. If not, let me know and I can give you the info to find it in a different way.

RecknHavic said...

Thanks for the links Jack.

Nestor said...

Stan,

The Pic of the Day at Glennbeck.com has been changed. Google (or GoodSearch) "Zombies Ahead" and you should get the picture that I was referring to.

Nestor said...

Had it been me hacking the sign, it would've said: "OU SUCKS!!!"

RecknHavic said...

Ha! Van Morrison...I get it.

Linda said...

That light bulb finally go on?
Little loose was it? :)

Stan Rosenthal said...

I guess the picture's gone. But I think I know what you're talking about (the hacked highway sign near Austin? Well done hack, you hackers that did it ... )

Nestor said...

I saw a CNN video that talked about it and showed the sign. Apparently it would switch so first it said, Zombies Ahead, and then might say something like, Use Extreme Caution, then Run for your lives. Pretty funny stuff.

The sign is on Lamar Blvd at 15th St. It is supposed to be warning people that MLK is closed between Lamar and the UT campus.

Stan Rosenthal said...

Nestor -
> Had it been me hacking the sign, it would've said: "OU SUCKS!!!"

You silly Republican't. It's not complete if it doesn't also say "and Mexico blows.". ;-)

If I would've hacked it, it would've said something like "Zombies Ahead, This is Texas, They're called Republican'ts"
