An American football expression. Sometimes when the buzzer is about to blow ending a football game (or ending the first half) if the losing team is in possession of the ball, their quarterback will throw a high, long pass deep into the opposing teams' territory, on the very slim chance that someone will be in a position to catch it and run it in for a touchdown.

Did you know Obama is in favor of attacking and/or invading Pakistan? If Obama gets elected, we'll get stuck in a bigger swamp. Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. I believe that you are misquoting or misstating his position if you're referring to what I think you're referring to, which is yet another one of these so-called "gotcha" moments from one of the debates in which he said that if he had (as President) information about the location of bin Laden inside Pakistan, and the Pakistani government was *unable or unwilling*...http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShortThoughtsStrikeEight/jhlpg/post.htmTue, 13 Nov 2007 06:32:37 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:789520eric garciaTechnically it's just the sixth day on the picket lines, but the strike was certainly continuing through the weekend (I sure as heck wasn't writing; hard to do that in a collapsed/horizontal state), so I'm counting today as Day Eight. When the numbers and days are finally tallied at the end of this thing, it'll be the days out that count, not the days standing and walking in a circle. So eight it is. Today was "Bring Your Kid To The Strike Day", since schools were out for Veteran's Day. I brought my 7-year-old with me, and I've got to admit, we were pretty sure she wouldn't make it through the four-hour shift.

Oh excuse us for having no sense of dance humor. That video just isn't funny. It's funny as hell, just one catch.

But is he good enough to bring home the big prize? 5W4t CBzg&mode=related&search= Pretty amazing, I think... He is phenomenal. And what a difference between his try-out video and his winning video as far as his dress and hair. Too bad about those poor little teeth. Hope he got good dental work when he came to the states, altho better teeth may affect his singing. The thing I like about "Britains Got Talent" is that a person performs in his chosen field. It would have been a shame if Paul had been made to sing The BeeGees at some point instead of continuing in opera.

That's pretty special. But what's with the right-hand-drive American car? I guess, coupled with Hasselhoff's "singing", that's just another sign that we're in an alternate universe. I suppose Hasselhoff could always go into rehab and blame the whole thing on a substance abuse problem. Alan Brooks A with an Underwood Mousse abuse.
