  1. I always thought they were an item because she would show up very often (and not for some book/movie/play/achievement/award publicity reason) as a guest and flirt with Dave a bunch while being her beautiful, engaging, funny, entertaining self.
    She'd have a Seinfeld-style-interview (an interview about nothing) and banter with Dave and it was fun, he'd get her and the audience to roll laughing about whatever, and that was good content-- it worked. Maybe that's why she was a guest with Dave so much.
    Then again, maybe she just liked how Dave's freezing studio (for Dave's comfort, the studio lights on him made him overheated without having a cold studio) made her feel, or something.  Lulz.
    I'm sure most if not all talk shows have a stable of guests who are somewhat local and can be called on should there be a last minute cancel or late arriving scheduled guest. So if they schedule Eddie Murphy but his plane is delayed or he has a family emergency or is just drunk, they can call up Teri Garr or Don Rickles or someone and keep the show going. I'm assuming this is why Jimmy Fallon seems to have a lot of SNL people on his show when they don't have a big movie coming out.
  2. Just saw this. I used to fix and restore 80s arcade games and cabinets. A lot were made with MDF and painted, and often got water damage (like when a restaurant mopped the floor right against the cabinet).

    You have a laminate veneer, so no need to worry about paint. I don't know if you can disassemble the cabinet so you're only working with the damaged side. If not, it'll be harder but not impossible. Of course, if you can disassemble the cabinet AND remove all of the veneer easily, it would be easiest just to have a new piece cut at the proper thickness and put the veneer on it.

    First, you'll need to get access to the swollen MDF by removing the veneer without breaking it. Might need a heat gun to soften the adhesive, and a putty knife to gently work the veneer up. You probably won't be able to match it if it breaks, so you'll either have to redo the entire piece with new matching veneer or play puzzle master trying to put it all back together and hope it doesn't look worse than it does now.

    After it's off, you need to treat all of the swollen area with Wood Hardener (see the pic below). You can get this at Home Depot or Lowes. Treat the swollen area per the instructions and let it dry. Once the wood is nice and hard (that's what she said) use an orbital sander to sand it smooth back to the original shape. If there is any pitting or missing chunks that you're worried about, you can use Bondo (wood/metal) to fill and sand.

    Now, wipe all the dust off and glue the veneer pack on.

    If you can't disassemble the cabinet, you'll have to sand it by hand. Wrap a ruler in sandpaper to get in the tight spots.

  3. It was ugly, but it's a W. I had to look at the team stats and was surprised Vandy had any penalties called. We got picked several times, especially that PI call on 4th down when the receiver was pulling our jersey but we got the penalty. Not sure about that Gunnar Helm holding call. Looked like the defender fell and GH just fell on him.

    Whatever. Too many holding penalties killed our drives, and some poor blocking let free rushers through killing other drives. Too many sacks.

    But we won. I'll take it.

  4. Playing too safe in that opening drive 
    Playing with a script. Saban said this morning that Sark likes to run a script at the beginning of the game to see how the defense reacts to specific formations and then he adjusts later to exploit it. Let's hope so.

  5. We were doing just fine until we decided to go with a poorly blocked bubble screen and then an inside run on 2nd and 11. Quit doing the sideways passes until the run is working. Quit doing conservative low-percentage plays directly after a failed play.
