SayHey: Hey all

Dews: Hello and welcome to the big show

9:59 AM JackGonzo: Why do I get this feeling you're all singing Saliva

SayHey: BOOM!

Dews: too early for me to be doin that

Mr.SanDiego: Yawn

SayHey: Yeh, listening to CNN Live

Mr.SanDiego: I jsut got out of bed

SayHey: Assnut!

Dews: must be nice...

Mr.SanDiego: don't hate the good life

10:00 AM SayHey: Half of this panel is living the dream!

JackGonzo: Same here, apparently Mr. SD and I are on the same schedule

Dews: it wouldn't be so bad if I just went to sleep at a decent hour I guess

10:01 AM SayHey: So the Dems fucked up again. Sen Stevens trial may be declared a mistrial

Dews: but, I'd like the perma-vacation mode

JackGonzo: Let's start off today with yesterday's baseball playoffs, initial reactions?

SayHey: Fuck the Dodgers!

Mr.SanDiego: eh? How is that the dems problem?

JackGonzo: strong initial reaction

Dews: Angels look like the typical Angels team

Mr.SanDiego: Alaska has a Republican majority house

SayHey: Its a Federal trial led by the Dems

10:02 AM JackGonzo: Cole Hamels, best player for the Phillies?

Dews: yesterday he definitely was

Mr.SanDiego: Lets just blame all that on Palin

SayHey: Yes

Bimbo Palin

Mr.SanDiego: Was there baseball yesterday?

SayHey: So Bill Maher calls her

10:03 AM 3 games

Mr.SanDiego: (sarcasm Eric)

Dews: Brew Crew is only gonna win when Sabathia pitchs apparently

SayHey: Tough to pick it up on gchat jimmy

Dews: <-- Got it

:)

Mr.SanDiego: so basically the Angels dissappoint

JackGonzo: you have a tough time picking up on it in real life

10:04 AM Mr.SanDiego: and

hahahaha

JackGonzo: but who do they disappoint?

SD can couche for me, there are no actual Angels fans

Mr.SanDiego: The Angels were so strong during the season

Dews: yea, even with Tex in that lineup, they still look like the typical flop playoff team

SayHey: zing

Mr.SanDiego: I think the lack of a pennant race hurt them

JackGonzo: sure there are Naked Gun and Angels in the Outfield fans, but no real Angels fan

Mr.SanDiego: they are soft

SayHey: Angels will bounce back

10:05 AM Dews: At least with Cashman signing a 3 year extension in NY, that clinches the O's getting Tex as their 1b next year :)

JackGonzo: SayHey are you talking bout Stevens or TrooperGate?

Mr.SanDiego: I hate any good coming to the Dodgers but it sure was nuce to see all those dissappointed Cubs fans

Dews: agreed

SayHey: That was the only silver lining last night

10:06 AM JackGonzo: I'm telling you, Rays Cubs and have Lou's former team rip the heart out of the Cubs and the Yankees

Mr.SanDiego: waiting

Dews: as much as I hate Manny too, that ball he hit out had no business being hit that hard

that man is a beast...

SayHey: He is 4-5 with a HR

not shabby

10:07 AM Dews: Jason Bay proved Sox didn't need him though

JackGonzo: We received complaints, thoughts on Phillies?

Dews: eh, they can prolly limp through first round

which is unfortunate

Mr.SanDiego: Yes very

Dews: I'm still pullin for Brew Crew, but I figured Gallardo and Sabathia would bail em out

10:08 AM Mr.SanDiego: because we need the winner of the Brewers - Phillies to go to the series

SayHey: Agree with Dews

Mr.SanDiego: so we can avoid the abomination

Dews: yea

also though Burrell may be out for a while

which could have helped

JackGonzo: I'd rather see the Phillies then the Brewers

10:09 AM Dews: no Philly fans ever please :)

JackGonzo: shouldn't we, being the catalyst of Speed Racer's meltdown be supporting that?

SayHey: Thats blasphomy Gonzo

Mr.SanDiego: The thought of certain uneducated Phillie fans though does turn my stomach

SayHey: Some sacrifices must be made

Dews: I gave Philly a chance, i went there, had a cheese steak at Geno's, it was awful

10:10 AM SayHey: Id rather see Speed Racer own a ring than Philly fan happy

Dews: agree with SayHey

JackGonzo: Perhaps it's the hate I have for Bud Selig that makes it hard for me to cheer for the Brewers

Dews: Gonzo, I kinda feel the same way, hate having Bud Light get any satisfaction out of that

10:11 AM JackGonzo: We all know thought that Philly isn't happy unless they have a ring and I think weall agree that the NL isn't winning this year

Dews: nope

10:12 AM Side Note, caffeinated gum is vastly underrated

10:13 AM just fyi

SayHey: True, but we dont want to give them hope either

Philly fan with a chance is dangerous

JackGonzo: K, next question. Tonight we have our chat (not audio since someone would rather play RB2 with a Hooosier, and it isn't one who is marrying on next spring), thoughts on the VP Debate which could be more entertaining then the Stockdale ones

10:14 AM Dews: I knew Jack Kennedy, you sir are no Jack Kennedy...

Mr.SanDiego: Honestly I thought about this last night

JackGonzo: Where are we? Why am I here?!

Mr.SanDiego: and I think Palin is sandbagging

They have downplayed expectations

Dews: oh sure, both sides are doing that

10:15 AM JackGonzo: Obama's camp isn't

SayHey: All Biden needs to do is not speak

Let Palin dig her own grave

Mr.SanDiego: but word is that she was very sharp in her previous debates (that she actually attended)

Dews: Biden has been talking Palin up a little bit

Mr.SanDiego: Yeah, the dems need to watch out

Dews: either way, this is yet another "no-win" situation almost for Dems

10:16 AM Mr.SanDiego: because even a moderate improvement over her tv interviews might help her and McCain

Dews: seemingly every year we have the battle of slightly retarded vs decent speaking Dem

it makes Debates pointless

JackGonzo: The interesting thing I noticed though about her past experience of debates is that is was never one on one, and she would let the other two fight it out and have a lil quip

Now she's one on one

10:17 AM Mr.SanDiego: This is the latest on her

http://wonkette.com/403204/only-one-in-three-voters-now-see-sarah-palin-as-qualifiedhttp://wonkette.com/403204/only-one-in-three-voters-now-see-sarah-palin-as-qualified

only one in three voters now see her as qualified

10:18 AM JackGonzo: is that her "trip to china" for the olympics?

Dews: ahh, Wonkette! Get that right wing propaganda outta here!

JackGonzo: gotta love jack cafferty http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/10/02/cafferty-on-palin-how-can-anyone-including-john-mccain-take-this-woman-seriously/

Mr.SanDiego: oh, as a side bar check out this confrontation from last night

JackGonzo: He's like the old, damn kids and their ZZ Top!

Dews: yea, he gets worked up over her just about every day

Mr.SanDiego:
http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/beyond/2008/10/obama-makes-mccain-very-uncomf.html

10:19 AM JackGonzo: I read about this last night oo

too

What an ass, Obama is trying to be professional and McCain does his best Belicheat impression

10:21 AM Mr.SanDiego: so my guess is Palin goes to the sympathy card

10:22 AM JackGonzo: This commercial break is brought to you by LOG!

Mr.SanDiego: and mentions her met addicted baby

JackGonzo: you mean her daughterrs?

Mr.SanDiego: err

meth

Dews: She's so brave....

10:23 AM Mr.SanDiego: It may not happen tho

JackGonzo: Let's get to our next question...We're coming up on week 5 in the NFL, who are our real contenders and who is just faking the funk?

Dews: every team in the NFC East

10:24 AM Mr.SanDiego: house republicans will fail again today, and Palin will come to Washington to build a bridge...to nowhere

JackGonzo: maybe a big bridge over DC so you don't have to drive through it to get to Maryland

10:25 AM so every team in the NFC East is faking the funk, is that your position dews?

Dews: no, just 4 of the top 10 teams are in the East

Mr.SanDiego: well nice to see that NFC East fans are still myopic

10:26 AM Dews: Records speak louder then potential :)

Mr.SanDiego: so in the land of reality

since only three of those teams can possibly make the playoffs

Dews: Giants have to still be the team to beat, being the defending champions

Mr.SanDiego: who is the worst of the east

SayHey: Philly!

Westbrook may miss Sundays game

10:27 AM Without him they are garbage

Dews: Agreed

Buckhalter brings nothing to that offense

SayHey: None whatsoever

JackGonzo: I think they are the most underrated, their defense keeps them in games. Now they have the worst offense, but their defense is strong

Mr.SanDiego: I guess McNabb lighting it up in Week 1 is all but forgotten

JackGonzo: who did they play week 1?

Mr.SanDiego: they do have a dangerous passing offense too

SayHey: Pretty much

10:28 AM Dews: oh no, McNabb is still great, but without Westbrook to balance things out, its pretty one-dimensional

Eagles aren't going to beat you on the ground with Buckhalter

SayHey: Not at all

Mr.SanDiego: he is a passable backup

and they did beat the Steelers with him

SayHey: But he isnt a threat

10:29 AM JackGonzo: Just for the record they played the worst team in the NFL, the Rams, week one, hence gaudy numbers

Dews: still not that impressed with the Steelers

SayHey: Steelers D is amazing tho

Dews: and that tackling dummy Ben

Mr.SanDiego: so I would argue that Carolina is better than maybe the NFC East

SayHey: But without Parker, the offense becomes predictable

10:30 AM Hands down

JackGonzo: as long as Rashard keeps fumbling

SayHey: Although Atlanta is making a case

Dews: You think Carolina is better then the Giants?

Mr.SanDiego: at least right now

Dews: or Dallas?

JackGonzo: Very possibly

Mr.SanDiego: Atlanta has a rookie QB

SayHey: But they are winning

Mr.SanDiego: they are not a contender

SayHey: 2 great RBs

And no distractions, ie Vick and Hall

JackGonzo: they have two backs, two wrs, a QB that has actually won a playoff game

10:31 AM Mr.SanDiego: Wrong

they lost to Carolina and Tampa Bay

and beat the Lions and Cheifs

you are way off on Atlanta

10:32 AM JackGonzo: I agree

Dews: Atlanta has some talent, but they aren't ready for the big show yet

good sign of things to come though

SayHey: Fair enough, but just wait and see

JackGonzo: they're better then they were, but still got a long way to go

there's no WR threat on ATL at all

Mr.SanDiego: yeah, Atlanta is a surprise in that they don't suck in a Chiefs, Lions, Raiders sort of way

JackGonzo: the raiders dont suck

SayHey: Thoughts on the Titans?

10:33 AM They kinda do

Mr.SanDiego: Titans are dangerous

JackGonzo: that team could easily be 3-1 right now

Dews: Titan's physical D will keep things close in any game

Mr.SanDiego: but I don't think another team can pull off what the Ravens and Bucs did, win a SSuperbowl with defense

Dews: and they have a QB that doesn't do anything flashy, but doesn'tmake many mistakes either

JackGonzo: the titans are playing 00 ravens football

Dews: I'd argue that Collins is better then Dilfer though

Mr.SanDiego: at some point these multi threat offenses are going to get to them

Dews: even though he's a jackass

JackGonzo: Dilfer's ring says different

SayHey: Titans are using RB by committee also

10:34 AM Dews: true that Gonzo

SayHey: This is true

JackGonzo: rolling thunder and lightning

SayHey: Titans remind of the Steelers

Mr.SanDiego: Hey, we beat them twice last year, same D

JackGonzo: just without the WR threats

Mr.SanDiego: but those were had wins

SayHey: Good defense, goalline RB to compliment a workhorse RB

Mr.SanDiego: hard

10:35 AM So Denver is finally coming back down to reality

JackGonzo: Denver sucks

Dews: agreed

JackGonzo: that is my vote for faking the funk

Mr.SanDiego: their lack of D is gonna kill their chances of going past first round of the playoffs

JackGonzo: though Ratface's reaction to Kiffin getting fired was money

10:36 AM Dews: Shannahan?

JackGonzo: Broncos aren't making the playoffs

yes

Dews: He's still owed money from Davis

Mr.SanDiego: How about Travis Henry this morning

JackGonzo: Kiffin is going to be in the same bout

boat

SayHey: The cocainne bust? haha

JackGonzo: Hey, you gotta pay for 9 kids somehow

10:37 AM Now, well hard to pay child support when you're in jail and not making any money

Mr.SanDiego: True

SayHey: They become the states problem

10:38 AM JackGonzo: Which state though? They're in multiple states I believe

SayHey: Good point

Mr.SanDiego: So what is the deal in the west

NFC west that is

SayHey: Ugly in the West

Niners are still capable of winning the division

Mr.SanDiego: is this the year the Niners break out of their cave

SayHey: I think so

10:39 AM Our line needs to protect O'Sullivan

Mr.SanDiego: funny that all it took was Alex Smith going away

JackGonzo: it's a battle of attrition in the west, and Nolan battling for his job

SayHey: Dont get me started on SMith

Mr.SanDiego: they play New England this Sunday

JackGonzo: A winnable game

10:40 AM Mr.SanDiego: should be a great test to see where both teams are

SayHey: Agreed

Its in SF

And if Miami can destroy NE, then we have a shot

Dews: I'm not ready to write off NE yet

JackGonzo: Final question of the day, predictions on this year's BCS Title game.

SayHey: No not at all

Mr.SanDiego: It can confirm if the Pats really are failing and if the Niners are for real

Dews: I'm pretty sure if I suited upI could still lead them to the playoffs

Mr.SanDiego: Yeah, I am not gonna write them off jsut yet

jsut

SayHey: I wouldnt

Mr.SanDiego: anyways

10:41 AM SayHey: This of course, if Billy boy doesnt get busted for player tampering

Mr.SanDiego: whatever

Al Davis is completely nuts

JackGonzo: But is it tampering if it's with the Raiders?

Mr.SanDiego: no one believes that story

SayHey: lol

Mr.SanDiego: I am surprised that Bob Kraft hasn't gone coastal to bitchslap him

JackGonzo: back to the final question, BCS Title game, predictions, go!

10:42 AM Mr.SanDiego: LSU

and fill in the blank

SayHey: Kraft knows Davis is on his last breathe

JackGonzo: seriously?!

Mr.SanDiego: Yeah

Seriously

They are creaping up

JackGonzo: LSU? The team struggled against Miss St and hasn't played a real team yet

SayHey: Missouri looks good

As does Texas

And Oklahoma

JackGonzo: OU, also hasn't played a real team yet either

10:43 AM There is one team right now I keep seeing kill everyone they've played...

SayHey: Why I added Texas

Mr.SanDiego: And they will cancel each other out

JackGonzo: Texas played Arkansas at least

Mr.SanDiego: one team will be from the SEC

SayHey: Arkansas with an unproven running game

JackGonzo: but that wasn't who I was talkin bout

Mr.SanDiego: I think it will be LSU sneaking in again

SayHey: I dont see it

JackGonzo: Penn State is killing everyone

10:44 AM SayHey: No way will they make it

JackGonzo: SEC is going to eat itself alive...if Vandy doesn't sneak up and shock the world

Mr.SanDiego: Big 12 will eat itself too though

JackGonzo: It's conference play now, have you seen another Big Ten team as good as they are?

Very true

Which is why USC still has a shot

10:45 AM Mr.SanDiego: Three letters for ya

B Y U

JackGonzo: could it be Bama and Penn State?

10:46 AM True, but even when Boise made it and were undefeated the teams in the title game weren't

they still won't give it to a western conference who isn't the pac 10

Mr.SanDiego: They have two PAC 10 wins this season

10:47 AM at the time both were ranked teams too

JackGonzo: LSU still has Florida, Bama, Ole Miss and Georgia, not to mention the title game

Dews: <-- totally lost still with College Football, so waiting for my chance on another topic :)

Mr.SanDiego: Yep

SayHey: Indiana U!!!

JackGonzo: and I don't know if LSU wins ANY of those games

SayHey: learn it Dews

Mr.SanDiego: Do the Catamounts have a football team?

Dews: they are developing one I believe

hahaha

10:48 AM SayHey: They are aggressive women. Morrison will learn this soon enough

Mr.SanDiego: don't underestimate Les Miles

SayHey: Oh hell no

Dews: actually I'm supposed to pull for Purdue in exchange for one more Redskins fan

JackGonzo: lol

Ah a Boilermaker

10:49 AM Mr.SanDiego: I think it is still too early in CFB though to make a call

after this weekend things will look better

JackGonzo: Now, an interesting thought, what about a mid major title game?

Dews: yea, things seem pretty fluid still

JackGonzo: What if it comes down to BYU, Boise and South Florida all being undefeated?

Mr.SanDiego: boring

10:50 AM who cares about a runner up game

better is ever team had a fair shot at the BCS though

JackGonzo: no, I mean those teams in the BCS Title game

not an actual mid major title game

Mr.SanDiego: One of those teams might make it

10:51 AM but not two

JackGonzo: what if every other big school has two losses?

Mr.SanDiego: so tomorrow are we talking about the weekend games?

JackGonzo: or one embarrassing one like Ohio State? Yes, tomorrow we'll discuss the annual Seminole/Hurricane thug down

10:52 AM Mr.SanDiego: See, Ohio State beats Penn St

Dews: do we know who is available to play and who is on parole?

JackGonzo: But we're ending here as for the east coast it's lunch date time

Mr.SanDiego: and...

or breakfast

JackGonzo: seriously

Mr.SanDiego: for us late risers

Dews: damnit...

Mr.SanDiego: later skaters

JackGonzo: love my raisin bread

10:53 AM See you all tonight for the debate chat

LSWTF's Newest Feature

Welcome to today's edition of Round the Bend.

Gonzo: Welcome to Round the Bend here on LSWTF.com, as always and future more since this is a first I am joined by SayHey and Dews, good morning gentlemen

Dews: top o the mornin

9:50 AM Mr. SanDiego has joined

Gonzo: And also joining is the Padre himself

9:51 AM Mr. SanDiego: I think I will just go by "Mr. San Diego"

Gonzo: Now since this is the first batch I will explain our new experiment. It appears the most amusing part of the blog are the arguments we get into in the comments and since we all appear to be lazy asses anyways, we'd figure this would be the best way to bring that to you every day.

9:52 AM Each day we will feature four questions, rant rave mock and mutilate its corpse until we are satisfied all while drinking some delicious coffee.

SayHey: For some off reason I'm swamped, so I'll be dropping in here and there

er, odd

9:53 AM Gonzo: And it appears for the first time months, we're seeing life in the Giants' bullpen

Dews: zing!

SayHey: lol

Mr. SanDiego: can't stand the heat...

SayHey: Better closer than the A's =)

Gonzo: Now we have a few suggestions for questions today, but let's get to the one topic we can all discuss, since none of us have a horse in the race, the playoffs.

9:54 AM Dews: That's like arguing about special Olympics odds...

Gonzo: Wait, I didn't realize you had a man named Ziegler

SayHey: Oh, he closed?

Mr. SanDiego: Go (anyone playing the Cubs)

SayHey: I thought it was Mr. Texas

Dews: Brew Crew vs. Rays for me

SayHey: I like the Angels vs. the Brew

9:55 AM Gonzo: So what are your predictions and whether the world will implode if the Dodgers and Red Sox meet in the world series.

Dews: as much as I'd hate Bud Light to have his team in the WS

Mr. SanDiego: Yeah, I could be pulling for the Brewers

Dews: if the Dodgers and Sox are in it in the end, I'm pullin for Dodgers, but that Manny doesn't do anything

with Nomar hitting a game winning HR in game 7

SayHey: I hate the Dodgers, gotta pull for the Sox

Mr. SanDiego: I can't go there

Dews: while Derek Lowe throws a perfect game

Gonzo: I'm an ass, so I'm pulling for the Cubs to make it to the World Series...only to lose to Lou Pinnela's former team, the DRays

9:56 AM Mr. SanDiego: I would not watch the series

SayHey: Me neither.........it's a series of who do I hate more

and that is not entertaining

Mr. SanDiego: Brewers vs. Devil Rays is the best possible outcome

Or maybe the Angels

Dews: agree with my distinguished colleague from San Diego

SayHey: My favorite matchup

Gonzo: or worst, would anyone actually watch Brewers DRays?

Mr. SanDiego: I would

SayHey: I would

Dews: although, would still love to see former Sox stick it to em

SayHey: Be a hell of a series

Gonzo: DRays can't even get people to the ballpark

9:57 AM SayHey: True, but neither could the Marlins

And they made 2003 a very interesting series

Gonzo: Marlins should just be moved to San Antonio or somewhere

SayHey: Portland

Dews: Vegas

Mr. SanDiego: Va Beach

Wassilla

SayHey: Give Seattle a real rival....other than Ichiro

9:58 AM Dews: Vancouver?

Gonzo: The people of Miami only care about a record from 1972 and a bunch of wanna be thugs at the U who aren't even on the same level as Jimmy Johnson's thugs

Hell, piss off Dews' owner even more, move em to Virginia

SayHey: Vancouver would be ideal, but baseball is second fiddle in Canada outside of Toronto

9:59 AM Gonzo: can't we agree to get all professional sport teams that aren't hockey out of Canada?

Mr. SanDiego: Nah

SayHey: Nah, Bluejays are perfect in Toronto

Gonzo: Indiana has no baseball, perfect; they need something to get their mind of the abysmal state of Hoosier BBall

SayHey: I'd like to see the Raptors move though

10:00 AM Omaha should have a team

Gonzo: they have college world series, that's enough

Plus it's right next door to KC and STL

SayHey: Never enough

10:01 AM College baseball over pro's?

Gonzo: and SayHey's soon to be wife and Dews flame will now want to burn me after the Hoosier comment

SayHey: come on

Gonzo: Nebraska doesn't deserve the sunshine it receives

SayHey: Bah.......separate your Cornhusker hate from the topic

10:02 AM We all hate the Cornhuskers

Dews: <-- fan of Indiana

thats all I bring to table in collegiate sports

Gonzo: ok, next topic. A great group of anarchist-capitalists and Gingrich followers want to blame this entire financial crisis on the CRA and the like, thoughts?

Dews: damn World Bank...

10:03 AM somehow this is all Clinton's fault

Mr. SanDiego: Think that it is way past the blame game

SayHey: When in doubt, blame the man who led us through a recession and into prosperity

Agree with Perkins

Mr. SanDiego: people are going to start flipping out when they don't get their paychecks because businesses can't secure short term loans

10:04 AM Then you might see some anarchy

Dews: heard a good term today to define it, "Casino Capitalism"

Gonzo: Exactly, they forget that the CRA also gave business to small business as well

SayHey: People will flip out once credit card companies take away free lines of credit and not telling the customer

er, available

Mr. SanDiego: Oh they are already doing that

Gonzo: I just find it funny that it was fine and not hurting the economy as much, until Dubya made his own changes in 05 and in three short years it's all gone to shit

SayHey: True, but its more mainstream now

10:05 AM Happened to a few, now it's everyone

Mr. SanDiego: Heard a story about how one guy with good credit had his 25,000 limit reduced to 1800 with no explanation

SayHey: Yeh, and if he bought gas and his limit went to 1803, then he would get slammed with finance fees

10:06 AM Mr. SanDiego: So basically I am of the stance that we need to bail out the credit market

or we fuck things up even worse

Gonzo: since I brought it up, I'm pretty sure dews had to have some experience with the man and his people, what's your reaction dews to Gingrinch once again having a foothold of power in congress?

Mr. SanDiego: Personally I am buying guns, canned goods, and vegetable seeds

SayHey: I'm with Bill Maher, its bullshit

10:07 AM Gonzo: Yes, and as much as I'd for them to take the losses and eat it, we do need something or things are gonna get real ugly real fast.

If they are, I do believe Montana and the Dakotas are our best options

10:08 AM still plenty of wildlife for hunting

SayHey: And new oil discoveries

Mr. SanDiego: It makes me miss the arsenal that we used to have in the house, for when Arlington goes all LA riots on itself

Speaking of oil discoveries in North Dakota

Gonzo: true, see everyone will be joining us in Houston sooner or later

10:09 AM someone poke Dews

Mr. SanDiego: now you may have heard how people are leasing their land and making bank for oil derricks...

The latest trick is to lease your property in exchange for a wind generator

10:10 AM $900 a month plus royalties on what you generate

Gonzo: damn, luckily it sounds like the Dakotas doesn't have the complication of Texas when it comes to land and mineral rights

Mr. SanDiego: T Boone Pickens is gonna save America

Then he will run for President

10:11 AM Gonzo: there is only one Texan I want running for president right now...Kinky F'N Friedman

Mr. SanDiego: ...and I would be moving to Mexico.

10:12 AM Gonzo: The problem with moving to Mexico is that it is a bigger land of scum and villainy the Mos Espa Spaceport

*then

10:14 AM Mr. SanDiego: speaking of Star Wars check out this http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/09/30/the-force-is-strong-with-these-wii-lightsaber-accessories/

Dews: (sorry guys, keep gettin called away)

10:15 AM Mr. SanDiego: They work with the game, The Force Unleashed, for the Wii

Gonzo: Well, now the wife knows what to buy me for the holidays.

Dews: have to get you guys into Rockband

Gonzo: Please, the wife loves Rock Band almost as she loves the puppy

Dews: awesome, good to hear

10:16 AM gotta join the pro circuit then :)

10:17 AM waiting for updates on the supposed live explosives found downtown

Mr. SanDiego: John McCain is a hero of the common man http://wonkette.com/403176/buy-one-of-john-mccains-unwanted-mansions-for-12-million

Dews: how quaint

10:18 AM Gonzo: just like the American Dream babys

Mr. SanDiego: Does anyone remember all the ruckus over John Kerry being married to the Ketchup lady?

Where the f is the outrage now

Gonzo: Which this article http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14158.html brings us to number three...Thoughts on tomorrow night's debate.

Dews: that Zombie involved in the swift boat thing?

Mr. SanDiego: So excited

10:19 AM Gonzo: Mr. SD, every single thing said about John Kerry in 04 can be superimposed with McCain's name and work exactly the same

Mr. SanDiego: I love Saturday Night Live. And when I heard they were airing a special show on a Thursday night...

Dews: it's gonna be pretty funny I'm guessing

Gonzo: Zombie? Obviously he was half man half hound dog

Dews: Hound Dogs have personality

and opinions I'm guessing

Gonzo: not when they're old

Dews: ahh yea

10:20 AM no no, you're thinkin of Lieberman

i.e., Droopy

i.e., "I'll sell my soul for a better job"

Gonzo: no no, Lieberman was last seen on the second Death Star with the Emperor

10:21 AM Mr. SanDiego: So I wonder if Palin is gonna have McCain in the front row correcting her answers for her like he did in Couric Part Deuce

Dews: I'm still thinking she may send a Stand-in like she did in Alaska

call in "sick" for the debate

10:22 AM Gonzo: nah, Algebra II will be sick

but if she does show, check her beehive for electronics

Dews: oh I'm sure we'll be hearing feedback from the Mic a few times over the evening with all that equipment up there

10:23 AM Gonzo: actually, if she has an ear piece, which we all know she will, I hope the Biden people can find a scrambler and right when she's talking about something important, the turn it on, and literally turn it into SNL's last sketch

Mr. SanDiego: I think we should live blog the debate

same way we are doing this

Dews: good call

and add some sorta drinking aspect perhaps

or I can do that

10:24 AM Gonzo: well I plan to be drinking

how else am I going to be able to do this?

Dews: true

Mr. SanDiego: Oh, found this, bit late for the baseball talk but still http://failblog.org/2008/10/01/juxtaposition-fail-2/

Dews: though, I'm doomed if they have the heart-beat monitor thing again though

I'll be staring at it the whole time

10:25 AM "Gee, I wonder how independents feel about that... whoa its sliding down..."

10:26 AM Gonzo: I still have yet to watch the first debate. It's on DVR, just haven't had the urge

alright, let's wrap this up with one final question.

10:27 AM Mr. SanDiego: Yes, the Chargers will make it to the Super Bowl.

Gonzo: This gives us an idea on possible hail marys by the McCain campaign

http://mediabloodhound.typepad.com/weblog/2008/09/leaked-mccain-c.html?cid=132871619

10:28 AM any other predictions for his campaign before it's over?

Dews: still waiting for the Lobbying scandal to come out

sex for favors

that whole deal

Mr. SanDiego: idk

There is all theis rumor of an October surprise

10:29 AM Dews: I just don't see Palin being the VP pick either

Gonzo: There is always rumor of an October surprise, but what is it this time?

Mr. SanDiego: I wonder if the Bush Administration and Dickhead Cheney really will drum up some foreign policy crisis to boost McCains poll numbers after they just got PWND

Gonzo: Will the public be turned once again by some video?

10:30 AM I think they test ran that with Georgia, it didn't work

Mr. SanDiego: I am thinking something to do with Venezuela

Gonzo: and they also have to be careful. Word has it that Powell is for Obama, and if they tried to drum it up he might then get actively involved

10:31 AM Yes, Venezuela, who McCain believes is in the Middle East, just like he thinks Spain is in Central America.

McCain needs to dump Cindy and marry Miss South Carolina

Mr. SanDiego: Or we raise the Terrorism Threat Level for some classified reason

10:32 AM Anyways

Gonzo: Which no one but Fox pays attention to anymore

Mr. SanDiego: I have a date with a Microcenter for some new gadgetry and then Art class

so adios dudes

10:33 AM Gonzo: Yes, this looks to be it, thank you for joining us

Mr. SanDiego has left

10:34 AM Gonzo: Remember to tune in tomorrow night when we have an edition of Round the Bend during the VP debate. The question will undoubtedly be, can these men spell any word and have it resemble the English language by the end? We shall see.
