Along with our new format here at the Daily Dave, we have now introduced a "Comments" section. This is where you, the people, can voice your thoughts on things I've written, things I should've written, things I'm afraid to write, and everything in between. In the 2-plus years I've been doing this only my voice has been heard, and while philosophically I am a big fan of dictatorships, I know that Bush will invade Rubinville if I don't democratize this place as soon as possible. That being said, let the comments begin...

I'm heading to the Yanks-Devil Rays game in about an hour. The Yanks don't do many mid-day games during the week so it should be fun, especially since Lou Pinella is on the verge of a mental breakdown. There's nothing better than seeing a grown man in a uniform throwing bases and kicking dirt and knocking over Gatorade bottles.

Actually, seeing a man in a suit do those things would be better, but that's it.

The American Film Institute has listed it's top 100 film quotes of all-time. Topping the list, to no surprise is, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn", from Gone with the Wind in 1939. While I do think that is a nice selection, I personally would've gone with, "Nice beaver!", from Naked Gun circa 1989.

Spent the day in Jersey yesterday with an old friend of mine who goes way back to kindergarten. He has a son now who is 4, which is the same age that we met at. It really was a nice feeling sitting there with my friend and his son until his son beat us both in NBA Live on PS2. Damn spoiled kid with his video games.

The Royal Monarch costs each British tax payer about a dollar every year to maintain their lavish lifestyle. It would've been closer to 2 dollars but it turns out Prince Harry pays for his Nazi costumes out of his own pocket.

Anyone else a little conflicted about going to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? The commercials are making it look like a straight-up remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which I think still stands the test of time. Johnny Depp is a great actor but could be possibly be more wacked-out and deranged than Gene Wilder? And I'm not talking about Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, I'm talking about the man Gene Wilder, he is a nut.

A chocolate covered, sugar powdered, deliciously-tantalizing nut.

NBA Finals is going 7 games after the Pistons pulled it out in San Antonio last night. I predicted the most boring finals ever, but the last 2 games have been pretty good. I'll now change my prediction to the Pistons winning in overtime of game 7, in a mildly amusing game.

About to go drop off my laundry. It's gotten so bad at this point, that I actually say goodbye to 3 socks and one white t-shirt before make the drop off. I know they aren't coming back, and it's important to say goodbyes.

On that note, later peeps.
