    What's up ?! This thread will be done in the manner of a popular sports talk show on radio & ESPN by a guy with the initials J. R. ! ( Don't want to cause problems for the mods) ! It's been a hell of a year in the news in sports, JWD, and celebrities , so I invite you to share your takes with me and everybody here on what you have seen this year in these categories . All I ask is that you have a take, and your take does not suck ! Or the mods might run you ! Just joking !

    In sports , it still seems in golf like it's Tiger Woods, then everybody else pretending to be golfers . Boston Red Sox win the world series again ! 2 times in 4 years ? How the hell did it take them 83 years or whatever to win that first one ? Then we had New England Patriots taking pictures of other teams to get an advantage ? Like they were so bad they needed an advantage ? What's that ? Then what would the year have been like without Barroid Bonds breaking the alltime homerun record , albeit on roids, alledgedly, and then later Roger Clemens sending his Texass attorney out there to say he never took steroids ? Dude, all I can say is Barroid's head was so big , I'm shocked it didn't explode before he broke the record ! And the N.Y. Yankees aquisition of Roger Clemens- like that helped them , they still got bumped from the playoffs !

    On JWD, we certainly had our celebrities ! Trevorgate dominated the scene , much to the chagrin of all of us who have really , in real life, lost family and friends in death. What a loser. We still have our valued longtime posters like Minimus , who seems to have a stockpile of threads listed somewhere in his storage vaults ! Dude just keeps pumping them out like a great omelette at your favorite breakfast restaurant ! Don't know how he does it ! Also all the mods who I sure as JWD gained notoriety and popularity, grew at least a few more white hairs trying to mediate everything going on between posters ! They deserve lots of credit ! Hope you all have upped your blood pressure medicine as 2008 seems like more people will exit the mind numbing witness cult , and need somewhere to turn for help ! Thanks, mods !

    As regards celebrities , we had O.J. popping up in the news again. Seems OJ had gotten pissed that some guys were selling his sports memorabilia , and he hired some geeks from a wedding reception to help him retrieve his stuff ! Now, if you are at a wedding reception and O.J. asks you to help him with some kind of a job- you should know that's not gonna turn out good, right? I mean, come on ! Alledgedly O.J. held these guys hostage at gunpoint and told his geeks," don't let them out of the room ! Nobody leaves ! " I mean, with O.J.'s history, who's gonna run out of a room with him in it, right ? Then of course we had Brittney Shears . Is it just me, or are any of you tired of seeing her or K-Fed in the news still ? You know it's pretty bad when K-fed is considered the more responsible parent in that fiasco . Have either of these two thought of letting either sides grandparents raise these kids ? Fair question, I think !

    So, I 'll take your calls or written takes now . Your turn to rant about the year too ! Just have a take , don't suck, and we'll get along fine. Oh, forgot, war me getting my daughters out of a mind controlling cult in 2008 ! War Michelle Wie giving up golf , going back to college , and get a real job she 's good at ! War Barroid Bonds avoiding prison for roids and tax evasion , then finally admitting to it apologizing ? Yeah, right. War Simon keeping JWD healthy for 2008 so lots more people can get good sane help ! Peace out, look forward to your takes on sports, JWD, or Ccelebrities for 2008 ! I'm out, Mr. Flipper

    Yeah hi, my name is Brinjen. First time caller, long time listener.

    I'd just like to say g'day to all me mates at work I'll err, see you next shift. Nice to see our Rugby Team bring home the go... Oh crap, they lost didn't they? At least John Howard lost the election, with him and Blair out of the picture I'm sure Bush is missing his lap dogs...

    Oh and a big thumbs up to Barbara Anderson and NBC for their efforts this year, and a big, big, big thank you to the mods on this board for their on-going efforts.

    Do I win anything? Hat? T-shirt?

    Hey Jim . . . er, I mean Flipper,

    2008 is the 100th anniversary of the last World Series championship for the Chicago Cubs. I predict that they will win the World Series at least once in the 21st century. I will bet heavily against 2008, and I am a Cub fan. Millions now living will see it, before they die.

    A word of sage advise for professional athletes with large contracts . . . stay away from dogfighting! I still have trouble wrapping my mind around how much money Michael Vick pi$$ed away. Plus now he has a new boyfriend named Bubba for a couple of years!

    In a shocker, the Cleveland Browns, as a wild card in the AFC, wins 4 postseason games to beat the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. It could happen.

    Roger Clemens will retire again sometime in 2008. What else is new? (yawn)

    In 2008 JWD will continue growing, and most people will still think I am an @$$hole. The mods hopefully will still be able to stand me by the end of the year. And the women of JWD will finally figure out that I am irresistible. Okay, maybe one???

    JK

    Hi Mr flipper

    Yes also a first time caller here.

    For me two things marked the year 2007.

    Firstly, Madeleine McCann "went missing", which is not a globally important event in itself. But instead of searching for her or grieving, her parents mounted an all-out profiteering media campaign, a truly bizarre exercise in parenthood.

    I think the main thing this taught us is that thousands of little kids go missing every year all over the world, but the higher the media noise the "more important" these kids are.

    Oh, and the parents would burn in hell if there were a hell, but there's not, so they'll just have to live with what they've done for the rest of their natural lives.

    Secondly, George Bush continued to send kids into Iraq, to fight a war that is not only illegitimate, but also hugely damaging to the families of the boy soldiers AND the families, normal families, in the country of Iraq.

    These families have no lesser right than your family to be happy, to exist, to go about their daily family lives uninterrupted by Mr Bush and his backers.

    Oh, and George W Bush would burn in hell if there were a hell, but there's not, so he'll just have to live with what he's done for the rest of his natural life.

    That's all for now.

    Bye.

    Thanks for all our replies. I'll answer the takes in the order they were given. 2008 promises to be an interesting ,if not crazy year !

    GOPHER- Thanks dude for the rack ! The jungle karma will be with you in 2008 !

    BRINJEN- Hey Brinjen ! Good to hear from you ! Nice to have an Australian lovely on the show . What the hell is rugby ? A more acceptable form of soccer in Australia ? Here in the U.S.A. they're still trying to get us to accept soccer as a legitimate sport !

    I'm sure Bush is missing his lapdogs as you say . Oh well ! He always has Millie. Oh, forgot, Millie died ! Crap.

    NBC was great in putting out the child abuse scandals of the Jehovah's Witnesses ! And Barbara Anderson should be next president of the U.S.A. for her efforts ! We can't let that news die down !

    The prize we ordinarily hand out to our Aussie friends when they call is a revolutionary shark deterrent scuba diving gear kit for swimming in the Great Barrier Reef- also Anti- Stingray deterrent spray ! I know you'll need that one too ! Thanks for the call Brinjen.Rack her !

    JK- I'm sure the Cubbies will win a world series, sometime in the next century . But first you guys are going to have to get rid of the goat curse put on you by the dude they chased out of Wrigley when they asked him and his pet goat to leave ! The only way to get rid of the damned goat curse is to invite his surviving relatives to opening day at Wrigley in 2008, sit them in ceremonial seats on ground field level give them honorable mention, then bring a goat in to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the season ! Gotta be kind to goats ! I'm tellin' ya, it's the only way that curse ends ! Oh! And while your at it , make sure Sammy Sosa is nowhere around at opening day , that would nullify any hopeful breaking of the curse !

    I agree on Michael Vick, like you say, I wonder if he'll be regretting how he treated dogs when Bubba and company get a hold of him in prison ? When those dudes get a hold of him, he'll be wishing he had some dogs next to him for protection !

    I know you hope your Cleveland Browns jump through all the hoops into the super bowl. Dude, reality check time. The New England Patriots might have something to say about that. Just don't let the Pats get Cleveland on film, and they may have a shot .

    You are right about Roger Clemens. He'll retire , then come out of retirement again and have absolutely no impact on the N.Y. Yankees playoff chances again.

    J.K. Well dude, don't worry if the mods think you're an a$$hole ! At least you're an a$$hole with a take that does not suck ? What could be better than that, right ? And the women of JWD finding you're irrestible ? Think I'll take the 5th on that comment ! But hey, if you can pull one chick from the board, more power to you ! Rack him !

    TREVANIAN- Hey Trev, thanks for calling. Welcome the vine is yours ! As regards Madeleine McCann's " parents ", it truly is amazing how there are so manyparents in the world who should have their " parent " cards taken away , ( like Brittney and K-Fed) . That being said, like you say there are thousands of children missing every day that go missing unnoticed. Tragic.

    Well,Trev, you can have one consolation about George Bush. If he doesn't go to hell, the negative jungle karms will get him in the end ! That or the curse by the native americans on all the U.S. presidents which was laid out for usby Tecumseh the Shawnee indian chief from 1813 ! That curse has almost been as effective as the "goat " curse on the Chicago Cubs ! Thanks for the call Trev, Peace out, and good day now ! Mr. Flipper

    Well here's all I have on OJ:

    Peter Fonda announced that he's selling his infamous Easy Rider jacket. At first he was having second thoughts about parting with such a treasured heriloom but then OJ reminded him that, "For sale, doesn't have to be forever."

    Did you hear about OJ's new book? No, not the one about how he would have done it. The one he wrote after staging the stupidest sports memorabilia crime in history. Dummies for Dummies.

    Oh, and it seems OJ's in need of a new lawyer too. For some reason, when he calls up his current lawyer, all he hears is uncontrollable laughter.

    ABANDONED- Thanks for the call. funny stuff . O.J. talking about forever to Peter Fonda ? - Ron and Nicole think that's twisted , and they're dead !

    Great about O.J.'s new book " Dummies for Dummies " . Maybe he needs to put out a new book entitled, " How to Mess up a Friend's Wedding Reception by Getting Guys to Help Commit Robbery ! ". I'm sure that would make millions in the book stores !

    O.J. needs a lawyer ? He could always try Johnny Cochrane again . Oh! Forgot he's dead too . Well O.J. you're out of luck this time dude. Good call Abandoned, rack him ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
