Seriously, do you need a neon sign?

Rick, your comment on my car is noted.

LOL. Rick would have been more than willing to help you out.

How about the Nittany Lions picks over the weekend? We did pretty good.

not bad at all, but the track record for the Nittany Lions in the NFL is bad.

Ki-Jana Carter, Kerry Collins, Tony Sacca (yes, that Tony Sacca).

To be fair, Kerry lead an expansion team to the NFC Championship game, and wasn't too bad when he had a decent supporting cast to help people forget that he has no legs. Ki-Jana, well, we won't talk about that.

I really hope Joe gets in a kicker who can actually kick this year, or that midget dip***** is going to cost us a few more games. Well, as long as everyone doesn't get suspended for felony assault, of course.

meet at the Short Hills Mall
Yeah, but we'd have to get there at 7am to actually get parking spots before the rabid Neiman Marcus shoppers get there. Or we could autocross through the lot "looking for a spot" like so many others.

Sorry I missed the meet. Would have been fun to hang out. I'll watch for a post here if there's going to be a Palisades one. That's a fun drive up from my place in north west NJ.

My advice if you are ever at the Short Hills Mall and cannot find a spot...go to the garage directly across from the Neiman Marcus valet entrance. Drive into the garage and go to the top roof level. I have NEVER seen it busy, people don't seem to know it exisits.

Oh and of course stop and admire the beautiful cars up front at the valet. Last weekend there were two Maserati Quatroportes, a Bentley Continental Flying Spur, a W221 Andorite Gray S-Class, a Black SL55 AMG, and some BMW i didn't pay attention to. (Not all at the same time mind you, there isn't that much room up front--some were there when I went in, others when I left the mall.)

You missed it. However, we can make a new date any time really. I'm always up for watching Nora suck down food.
