        <![CDATA[<p>Well, it's that time of year again!</p>

<p><strong>Importation Day</strong> (or <strong>St Patrick's Day </strong>for the rest of you) is in one week so let the Limericks* begin!</p>

<p>Limerick subject suggestions welcome and encouraged!<br />
Seriously, help the Asian equivalent of Irish out!</p>

<p><u><strong>#1 Tuesday 3/10</strong></u><br />
There once was a lass named Cari<br />
She wasn't sure she'd ever marry<br />
She adopted a yellow lab<br />
Who didn't like any lads<br />
Perhaps Nika would prefer for Cari a "Terri"?</p>

<p><u><strong>#2 Wednesday 3/11</strong></u><br />
There once was a chap named Dean<br />
Oh how he wanted his beer green<br />
So he waited all year<br />
'Til green turned his beer<br />
Now he's green too so it seems</p>

<p><u><strong>#3 Wednesday 3/11</strong></u><br />
This is a story about Randy<br />
The best roommate ever, he's dandy!<br />
I don't mean to brag<br />
He's really chips in a bag<br />
And of course his girlfriend's eye candy</p>

<p>We're going for quantity, not necessarily quality :)</p>]]>

<p>Don't <u>reply to all</u> asking everyone to "stop replying to all".</p>

<p>OMG!</p>

<p>Someone accidentally sent a question to all "users".  Read:  Hundreds of thousands of people.</p>

<p>A couple relevant replies came through,.  It wasn't a big deal to delete 4 messages.</p>

<p>It was and is a big deal, however, to delete the 100 "please quit replying to all" reply alls.</p>

<p>Seriously people.  You do realize you're getting your own reply when you reply to all, right?</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I feel like a horrible “pageant Mother” but this really got under my skin. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.startribune.com">Star Tribune</a> made the mistake of showing vote counts in Nika’s "<a href="http://startribune.upickem.net/engine/Details.aspx?contestid=14163&pagetype=VOTING&SubmissionID=2899995">Cutest Canine</a>" round. </p>

<p>Five dogs had a silly number of votes. While you want to believe they just had big support or were simply *that* cute, they weren’t. To vote, you must log in and are limited to one vote per hour in a 23 hour round. It's not humanly possible to have a single voter every minute.</p>

<p>Isn’t it suspicious when 5 entries have over 1000 votes when the next closest is 75? Even after several independent inquiries were sent and responded to by contest support, these 5 cheating dog owners still make the Top 5. It doesn’t bother me one bit that Nika didn’t make it, but it pains me that they did! Boo!</p>

<p>Somehow I feel better for making a tactful but direct comment on the contest link on their <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a> page.  I also feel ridiculous for letting this irk me so much.</p>]]>

<p><font color=red><strong>C:</strong></font>&nbsp; All of the manhood shots were a bit much.<br />
<font color=blue><strong>M:</strong></font>&nbsp; Gratuitous penis shots?  That's new.  I'm sure you really minded...<br />
<font color=red><strong>C:</strong></font>&nbsp; Maybe that's why I forget Sarah Marshall.  Too distracted by all of the <a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/how_i_met_your_mother/bio/jason_segel/bio.php">"Marshall"</a> in the movie.<br />
<font color=blue><strong>M:</strong></font>&nbsp; It really shouldn't be that shocking with all of the boobs in movies and TV these days.<br />
<font color=red><strong>C:</strong></font>&nbsp; But it's not like you can impregnate someone with boobs.</p>

<p>The emphasis on the word "boobs" did not come through in type.</p>

<p><br />
<em>Footnote:</em>  I love how they don't even mention his "Forgetting" role in Jason Segel's CBS bio and he not only starred, but wrote it!</p>]]>

He understood the subleties of the game better than so many of today's broadcasters and let's face it, he had a point even when you wished he didn't.  He'll be missed, especially since these types of quotes will be no more:</p>

<p>The Setup:<br />
Leroy Hoard was in for the injured Robert Smith and tearing the defense apart!<br />
John Madden had the line of scrimmage marked up with 3 open running lanes labeled A, B and C.<br />
As he repeatedly traced lane "A", he made the following assessments:<br />
<blockquote>"Leroy Hoard, he keeps taking it right up the A hole"</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>"As a defensive unit, you have to know he likes to take it up the A hole"</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>"So why would you keep letting him take it up the A hole?"</blockquote><br />
Followed by an abrupt cut to commercial. If only it would have been a Preperation H ad!</p>]]>
