I created this username nearly three years ago. Clearly, I was the first one to see this coming http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Whoever is doing the updates on C.C.'s website has paid pretty close attention to detail. Even the small #52 'logo' displayed on the Firefox tab is in Brewers typeface. -
I had Kemp shoes at one point too!

I've gotten through levels 1-9, 11, and 17. The others have been too gravity-defying for me..any tips? Edit: and 22! Edit: and 18! I give up for the day..there's only so much you can do with a touch pad mouse..

Whew, thank you for finally bringing some sense into this conversation. Some of the earlier comments were really frustrating to read. -
Most Annoying Commercials Played During Brewer Games

Looking for a picture of County Stadium Board Game
ccbrew replied to InsomniacInkRoss's topic in Off-Topic Forum
I have this too..somewhere. It was indeed a giveaway for under 12's or 16's in 1999. Never did open the box though, so I can't tell you anything about entertainment value. -
If you're not already watching Netherlands-France..tune in! Heck of a game going on.

A two page thread about awful commercials without a single shout out to Klements? Patio Daddio is not pleased.
-
The boring backfield play of the Greeks is only justifiable when they're successful..otherwise it really is brutal to watch, as exhibited in the game tonight.

tigerbrew - Thanks for the tip. I had put some thought into West Ham, as well as the Tottenham Spurs. Although I have my heart set on Fulham as 'my team' at this point, in all honestly I'll probably try to catch as many games in as many venues as possible while I'm out here. Bringing the conversation back to Euro..wow, what a game tonight. The first goal by van Nistelroy was puzzling, but the other two were nothing short of brilliant. Two end-to-end goals, both coming off of spectacular saves. No need for me to write anything about France-Romania..yawn.

I noticed some of the similarities as well. In fact, after being a Brewers fan all these years, it would almost seem against my principles to support a club like say, Chelsea. I think part of what makes being a fan of Wisconsin-based teams entertaining is the seemingly perpetual underdog status due to small media market, disadvantageous recruiting base/free agent acquisition, and general lack of respect. Championships are to be earned and not bought, and I think this makes each victory that much more satisfying. While Fulham may never compete at the top of the tables, the way people were celebrating after the last win at Portsmouth, you would have thought they actually won something. Kind of reminded me of the Brewers fight to reach .500 in 2005 in a way, but with much higher stakes. Despite all that, I'll have to admit that Arsenal made a pretty strong run for my allegiance. Sure, they are a 'Big 4' team that acquires a lot of their top players..but they do a fair amount of their own development as well. As I'm sure anybody else in their early-20's can relate, my life has been lacking in championships. Not sure how many years I'm going to be here, so the thought of latching on to a team that has a legitimate chance to win something was tempting. But in the end, Fulham's mascot is Billy the Badger, which earned it the bonus points to push it over the top http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Diskono - I've noticed the Fulham avatar. With my recent move to London, I've been searching for a London-area premiership team to support. Since the Brewers, Packers, Badgers, and the Bucks were inherited and infused in my blood at birth, this is the first time I've actually had the chance to select a team. I was inspired by their 'miracle' run this season (I got here in early April), and I'm leaning heavily toward making Fulham my team. Thoughts? I'm not terribly excited about either of the two games today, but I did end up with Germany in our Euro 2008 office pool so I'm hoping they will take care of Poland with ease.

You definitely caught the better half of the Czech/Swiss game. It seemed the two teams were just feeling each other out for 45 mins, with more attacking chances and overall action in the second half. Swiss surely got screwed by the 1st handball call, and I almost wish the ref would have 'made up' for it by awarding a penalty for the second handball, which was an appropriate no-call. I was really pulling for the host nation, and the loss only adds to the heartbreak of having their best player/captain knocked out.. Portugal-Turkey is certainly shaping up to be the more interesting game. Plenty of strikes off the posts, tough tackles abound..

I hesitate to declare this an 'official thread' because I fret the soccer-related backlash, but surely there must be some be some European football fans on here http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Not sure what the coverage is like across the pond, but anybody else following the competition? EDIT: Officialized - b19

I'm a big fan of Deadspin and have been for quite some time. Was surprised to see the post but at the same time, not at all. It seemed like he was destined for bigger and better (?) things, especially as of late. I didn't think that he'd leave his post as editor to do it, although I suppose it comes with the territory. In any case, I hope they continue to do as they've been doing because it works. It takes a lot for a site to crack my regular 'rotation' of websites I visit upon every log-on, and Deadspin is one of them. edit: comma usage overload amended

Finally! While I can feel for Janesville, I don't understand why some people find it necessary to defend GM's practices and business model as a whole. They were content with sitting at the top and raking in the money, while others were innovative, quick in changing to market conditions, and willing to adapt to consumer tastes. I find the backlash against the Toyota Tundra to be somewhat humorous. It's a car built by Americans in America, for the specific purpose of being driven in America. While the brand is undeniably Japanese, it's not actually sold in Japan. Toyota is trying to beat GM and Ford in their own game. Then again, I've never driven a pickup truck so maybe I don't "get it".

Since I've always tried my hardest to avoid local news shows whenever possible, the 24 hour local news channel is one that I would avoid 24 hours at a time.

I believe it is we, the fans, who have been Melvined... I agree. This is Doug Melvin's game, and we are his pawns. There's no way he's actually going out to sign Tavarez - it's too bad to be true. It's all part of his strategy so that some other team hungry for a RP will overpay for his services, leaving his actual targeted RP ripe for our picking. ..that's the way I'm hoping it goes, anyway.

Also, as a general powerpoint presentation tip..you probably want to include an overview slide at the beginning to go over what your presentation is all about and a summary slide to go over what you just talked about.

I've been lock-up free with my PS3 version so far. Got the game on Sunday and have played it here and there..still stuck at about ~20% completion.

Double amputee allowed to compete for Olympic berth

If having carbon-fibre legs is such an advantage, why don't all of the others do it? And by all the others, I'm talking about other top-class athletes who have shown to do anything to shave 0.01 off of their time. -
I'll be on record saying that I throughly, throughly enjoyed that post. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Next time you're back in the States, invest in a Slingbox. You won't regret it. The catch is that you'll have to find family/friends with a reasonable internet connection and a cable splitter..unless they don't mind you commandeering their TV for hours at a time.
