New England linebacker Matt Chatham leveled the man as he ran from security personnel. The man, who had the name of a gambling Web site scribbled across his chest, was hogtied and carried off the field by police.

i think two things about this:
a. it is somewhat unfair for a linebacker to take out a streaker, I mean it isn't like a soccer player or such. the linebacker's job is to stop people from running and catch them and knock them down.
b. it is dumb to streak on a professional football field, when you know there are people there that can knock you into next week. imagine if big ted washington tackled the guy, they'd still be getting bits of him out of the turf.

not really, just threw out my 2003 Badtz Maru calendar, but cleaning the office does bring back memories, i have alot of information from when i was director of vtonline back in '98-2000, and rid myself of most of the day to day files, keeping on the most important and relevant files. I also found most of my homework from my m.a., hehehe, good stuff.

i have several uses for these statements:) they come at just the right time.

this a somewhat true, somewhat humorous, interesting bit to consider, opinion piece over on mac daily news. it isn't hard for users that prefer stable, secure machines to think those that prefer lemons are mentally ill. however, lets keep in mind that some people buy really crappy cars too.
