Wednesday (Updated!) OBD: Valentine's Edition

by cubbiejulie on Feb 14, 2007 9:37 AM CST Comment 227 comments

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Sorry guys, it was an ugly morning/day in court today. My Valentine's Day begun with getting my a** completely waxed by a far inferior attorney, and got even better when I got back to my office to discover that my co-workers were devouring the box of Godiva chocolates that my husband had delivered to my office. Then it got cold. Really cold, and now I'm curled up under a blanket in front of the fire, and I can't feel my feet. Blah on that.

So this shall be the truncated version of the OBD today. I admire all of you for going over 100 comments and recommending a diary that says absolutely nothing. Good on ya.

We begin with The Heckler's touching story of unrequited love. Or maybe it is requited. Who the hell knows?

*John Madden sends Brett Favre Valentine's Day gift*

QB's wife mistakenly thinks delivery is for her

John Madden has had a well-known man-crush on Brett Favre for years. The NBC color commentator took the relationship a step further today when he sent a Valentine's Day card, bouquet of roses and a box of half-eaten chocolates to his all-time favorite football player.

When the delivery arrived at the Favre residence, Brett's wife Deanna mistakenly thought the gift was for her. She couldn't believe when she opened the card and saw it was for Brett.

"The front of the card said 'I Want to Score with You'," Deanna Favre said. "The inside had a picture of Brett and John together and he scribbled, 'Brett, You're the Extra Point to my Touchdown, Love John Madden.'"

Deanna said she was going to give the heart-shaped box of chocolates to their children but was disgusted to find nearly all of the candies had been eaten.

"Every one of the chocolates had a bite taken out of them." She described. "The only ones that were left were ones filled with coconut."

Madden and Favre were last seen heading to the Sybaris in Joliet.

Ever wonder where most people meet their SOs? Wonder no more:

Heh. I met my husband on the set of "Mr & Mrs. Smith" too. Go figure.

5 songs on my iPod: Romance Edition
Wish You Were Here: Pink Floyd
The Blower's Daughter: Damien Rice
Baby Can I Hold You Tonight: Tracey Chapman
Nothing Compares 2 U: Sinead O'Connor
Slip So Easily: Sweetwater

QOTD: What is your worst Valentine's Day Memory?

Mine was when a ton of my relatives got gunned down in a garage on the north side. That Valentine's Day totally blew.

Top Ten Hottest Cubs: #8

*Ryan O'Malley*

And before everyone goes complaining that he's too low on the list, I just want to say that the only reason he's not in the Top 5 is because he didn't play for the Cubs for that long.

This is why I wanted the OBD...

I wanted to drop two quick nuggets that pertain to two diaries from yesterday. They don't deserve their own diaries because they've been covered at length, but I still wanted everyone to see them. They are from Cubs.com. This doesn't need to turn into a discussion about them, just wanted to put them out there. It probably won't change anyone's opinions on either situation (here's lookin' at you Progs), but still...

First, on Big Z, from Jim Hendry:

"Carlos has always made it real clear to myself and his representative that staying with the Cubs is his first priority. It's been a policy of ours not to negotiate with our free-agent players during the season, the exception being Derrek Lee's [contract], which took about five or six days past Opening Day. Ryan Dempster also renewed before the season ended in '05, before he became a free agent.

"I'm not really concerned about the stories going around today, because my dialogue with Carlos and his representatives is that his intent has been to stay here first."

Second, on the Ryu trade:

The Cubs had to make a roster move after adding Cliff Floyd and Jeff Samardzija in January. Hendry said scouting director Tim Wilken was influential in picking the two players from Tampa Bay's system. Wilken was the Rays' scouting director in 2005, and he had drafted both players.

"Hopefully these guys will be contributors to the Cubs down the road," Hendry said.

So it looks like Z is more of an idiot than a hater, and we've been talking about the start of the Tom Wilken Era. Looks like we can start it with two draft picks from 2005. Anyway... Holla!

If they cancel it, I will rage about the injustice almost as much as I continue to rage over the injustice of Fox cancelling Arrested Development (hands down the funniest TV show in the past 10 years, and perhaps all time....seriously, it is that good. Get the DVDs).

Also, a shout-out to another underappreciated but quality show - Boston Legal. Never boring, clever enough to wink to the audience at its ridiculousness, and, of course, Denny Crane.

If you want a show that's under the radar

Right now, but is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, it's "Extras" on HBO.

It's starting to rival The Office, which is no surprise, because Ricky Gervais is the original man behind both shows. But this show makes me laugh the whole way through with its uncomfortable humor, especially Stephen Merchant (who helped Gervais create The Office) as the talent agent.

And getting celebrities to come on and make fun of themselves, as Coldplay's Chris Martin did with all his charity work last week, is classic.

"Are you having a laugh? Is he having a laugh?"

I very excite about this upcoming season! Jenqui!

by nextyearcub on Feb 14, 2007 10:31 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs

I watched...

...the first season, and the episode with Kate Winslet absolutely killed me.

This year? I've kind of stopped watching....it lost some of its prior charm for me - the idea that they were just extras trying to make it and failing, yet all these stars would open up to them with their weird character flaws, or Andy would try to kiss up to get a part and fail somehow embarassingly.

Also, it's at times quite cringe-worthy....I enjoy that humor in doses, but some of the episodes go overboard.

Still, Merchant/Gervais are geniuses. And if you don't think so, download the Ricky Gervais show podcasts - 3 seasons of the funniest radio show of all time. Karl Pilkington alone makes it worth any price they asked for it....guy is an idiot savant of comedy.

there are 2 scenes

the first in the courtroom demi objects, the judge overrules, she does it angain, and "strenously" objects and is rebuffed

then there is the following scence that plays out with cruise and pollack, where cruise makes a comment about how you only object to get it on the record, and she had the judge saying the witness was an expert

by the name that my friends and I gave it a few years ago......
"National Singles Awareness Day"

Think about it. What day of the year is it easier to identify who is single and who is in a relationship?

If you are in a relationship you celebrate the day as you normally would by doing stuff with your SO.

If you are single, however, on this day you take care of YOU. Go out and have a few drinks. Buy a couple DVD's. Whatever you wanna do. The key is to enjoy yourself and ignore the stupidity of the day.

NSAD-I like it!

Yep, I'm in the single boat here. One benefit is that I don't have to spend money showering any woman with flowers/jewelry/chocolates/etc.

And while it's great to have a companion, sometimes being single ain't all that bad either.

Just for all you lovers, here's a special iPod Terrific 25 V-Day Edition. Some of these are great love songs, others just talk about that crazy little thing called love.

At the top: "The Look of Love" by Isaac Hayes. It's also known as the best song ever done, and don't try to argue with me about this. Soulful, a kick-ass instrumental, and 9 1/2 minutes of pure ecstacy.

The Rest of the 25:
Since I've Been Loving You: Led Zeppelin
Wish You Were Here: Pink Floyd
Lover, You Should've Come Over: Jeff Buckley
Swallowed In the Sea: Coldplay
Walk The Line: Johnny Cash
Ex-Factor: Lauryn Hill
I Want Love: Elton John
Maps: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Lovesong: 311 (or The Cure, I actually like the remake better)
If I Ain't Got You: Alicia Keys
God Only Knows: Beach Boys
I Just Want To Be Your Everything: Andy Gibb
I Miss You: Blink-182
Love Me Like You: The Magic Numbers
When You Come Back Down: Nickel Creek
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For: U2
The Blower's Daughter: Damien Rice
Crush: Dave Matthews Band
Cupid's Chokehold: Gym Class Heroes
Collide: Howie Day
Ordinary People: John Legend
Good Love Is On The Way: John Mayer Trio
Be Here Now: Ray LaMontagne
Run: Snow Patrol
Baby Can I Hold You: Tracy Chapman

Robbie Williams

One of my guilty pleasures comes in the form of the former teenage heartthrob, and now adult heartthrob, from across the pond, Robbie Williams. I'm not a great big fan of shallow pop music, but whatever, Robbie does it for me.

Anyway, he checked into rehab today for addiction to a bunch of anti-depressants. This was the most interesting aspect: "daily he gets through an incredible 36 super-strength double espresso coffees, 60 Silk Cut cigarettes and around 20 cans of energy drink Red Bull"

What is it with these celebrities? Ordinarily I'd just dismiss it, as I dismiss most pop culture icons, but Robbie is different for me, I don't know why.

Cadburry Cream Eggs

I used to feel the same way. The Cadburry Cream Eggs were definitely the best part of Easter (of course, being a Jew, I can't comment on the religious aspects). However, two years ago, as an April Fools joke, one of my friends got me a case of Cadburry Cream Eggs. Easily 60+ packs of four. I didn't eat them all, but I probably ate more than half (over several months). But now, I don't think I could eat them for a long time.

Gravedizzle,

you are truly a genius. Your love for Etta James/Nine Inch Nails matched with your obsession for Cadbury Eggs makes you the coolest person in BCB. I seriously wait for the day after Valentine's so I can purchase the first batch of Cadbury Creme Eggs as well as the Mini Eggs (sugar-coated). It is during this time that I gain approximately 68 lbs. as well.

I willl....

don't worry.

I don't steal anything. If you lost it's because you didn't try hard enough. You didn't motivate your players. Your players don't like you. Maybe you aren't a players' manager. I am. The players I pick love me, so they win.

OK, I'm done being mean.

LOL

No I scream at my players, and umpires alike. I take the bases out of the ground and kick them too.

Then I kick dirt on home plate if I don;t like the call the umpires make.

Why couldn't you have picked Rich Harden or something..

You know its on like a flashlight. Let's do the dang thing.

by cubsfan2883 on Feb 14, 2007 11:24 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

I did pick him!

I was so thrilled because I had Z AND Harden. It was the best thing ever, and then he got hurt and never came back for enough time to let me pick him.

I used almost all my favorite players. It was so fun.

In the venerable words of Fall Out Boy

I cannot blame you for being you, But you cannot blame me for hating it.

You're just the girl that all the boys want to play for .. It'll be different this year.

Oh yeah!

And Cotts. I think we can agree. Yeah, he hasn't played a game yet. But he should be on the list.

Hey!

I don't have bad taste, and those guys aren't boys. OK maybe some still look very young, but Matt Murton is one of the greatest guys on the team and more mature than most.

I like Bob Howry too, and we agreed on that I think.

I think gravedigger is weird because so far I have not been disappointed with your list. I'm a little worried about the top, but I think I'll like the list overall.

You think Julie has done a bad job with the list, and she hasn't.

if Mark Grace is number 1

I'm calling shenanegans on this entire top 10.

He's not that attractive.

Furthermore, we're skipping over guys like.. I cannot actually name one, but Im sure there are one.

Like Mark Prior. that's who,

by cubsfan2883 on Feb 14, 2007 11:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

I listed a bunch

Like Wood, Grace was a favorite of mine. Not attractive.

BTW, I'm going to preempt Julie here and just say right now that neither is Karros.

PTBNL!

by gravedigger on Feb 14, 2007 11:29 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

But Karros...

is a man! :)

Just kidding, Julie. I don't think Karros is cute but he's a great guy. I like to listen to him on TV too. Maybe like with Grace, Julie will choose a nice picture of Karros and convince me.

Maybe, but I doubt it

But he's one of my favorites. He should have earned a token spot, like #99, on the top 100 :)

Why?

And Angel Pagan and Bobby Hill are? OK.

Honestly, I don't remember what Bobby Hill looks like.

What about Derrek Lee

He presents a very clean image.. and he's extremely likable.. that has to count for something right?

by cubsfan2883 on Feb 14, 2007 11:33 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Not to me

I'm shallow. Raw attractiveness is all that counts.

Hmmm...

I cannot honestly think of anyone then. Then again, I'm not at all attracted to men, so this could be the cause for my inability to present one.

by cubsfan2883 on Feb 14, 2007 11:37 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Then...

why are you saying the guys on Julie's list aren't your type? You can't say they aren't good looking.

I like Derrek.

I think he's cute. My mom does too, so that's a bit weird but he's great. His family is lucky to have him.

I like to see Derrek smile. I also like to see Mark Prior smile, but that's just because I rarely see a smile on his face.
