    ***Official*** World Cup Prediction Thread

    Friedel isn't on the squad either. It's Keller, Howard and Hahnemann. I think Brazil is going to be fun to watch is the favorite for obvious reasons. Italy can practically field a squad that has been playing together for ages on the club level with Pirlo, Gattuso, Gilardino and Inzaghi on...

    Consumer Reports Best & Worst SUVs, Trucks, Minivans, Wagons 2006

    Why is that disgraceful? It's the best in it's class and beats 2 of the 3 best small SUVs. The RX400h was designed to offer more performance without sacrificing fuel economy and that's what it does. It was not intended to be anything else.

    acoustic guitars

    I could have sworn I saw a Hot Deal that Jokersmoker posted recently for a few $99 acoustics with free shipping. Let me see if I can find it.

    Did I make a wise college choice?

    My uncle went to Rowan back when it was Glassboro State and another uncle went to Rutgers and spent many years as an engineer for GE. I believe they sent him for his MBA and he's now in management there. Of the two, I'm suprised you wouldn't have chosen Rutgers, but I bet it's because you're...

    You're fired!

    I think Rebecca and Randall are a good choice for the final two. Alla is obviously a fantastic businesswoman, but she clearly has to be the boss. When Clay was PM for the Star Wars task, she basically did it all, and when she tried to collaborate with Felisha it turned into that clusterfvck...

    I'm grossly underpaid at work.

    The only time I really had to ask for a raise was when I had my first job out of college. We were understaffed in my department so I was doing extra and I wasn't making that much. I got another offer, and told them I was splitting. I got a 20% raise out of the deal and my raises after that were...

    The Giants Win!

    Meh...he's still adjusting. This was his first road win. Give him some more time to settle in and I think he'll be fine. I was a little disappointed in the Giant's offense yesterday as well, but I guess if you're going to have an off day it's good to do it against the 49ers. Last week was a big...

    All Hail, the New York Giants!!!!

    I guess they should take that as a compliment considering they have 9 games left to play and you assume they will make the playoffs.

    YART: Fiance wanted to buy a "new" condo instead of renting

    Really man, I can't help but think you're parroting something you've heard without giving it any thought. And why generalize? We have a specific example here. He could stick $1500 a month or $18,000 a year in the bank. During the first year with a mortgage that size you'll pay around $5000 to...
