LOS ANGELES - Saturday in Los Angeles, USC routed UCLA 52-21 at the Rose Bowl. During each UCLA home game at the Rose Bowl, longtime UCLA assistant football coach Ed Kezirian waves an oversized towel at UCLA fans in an attempt to rouse the somewhat placid Rose Bowl faithful. Last Saturday, Kezirian's tactics fell flat to say the least.
The USC football postgame radio show Saturday was hosted by former Trojans Mark Carrier, Petros Papadakis and Jeff Kopp on KMPC-AM in Los Angeles. Papadakis is also the sideline reporter for the USC football broadcast. During the game and on the postgame radio show, Papadakis playfully poked fun at Kezirian's futile towel-waving tactics.
Apparently the UCLA Football staff was monitoring those on-air comments, because an incensed Kezirian called into the USC radio show after the game to confront the on-air hosts.
Audio of Kezirian's crank call:
Transcript of Kezirian's crank call:
Ed Kezirian: "I'm glad that you all are feeling so full of yourselves because all you're doing is making us dislike you all the worse."
Mark Carrier: "Good, you're supposed to dislike me, I don't like you!"
Petros Papadakis: "Coach, this is Petros and we're just having a lot if fun with the rivalry. That's the nature of the rivalry. We're not trying to upset anyone, we're just trying to have a good time and enjoy the Trojan victory. Hopefully someday down the line they'll be a Bruin victory that you guys can enjoy.
"We appreciate your call. I'm sorry that you got so upset coach, nobody really wants to take you out ... and you're a part of Bruin tradition with the towel. We all know you're just as big a part of Bruin tradition as we are with our big, majestic horse (Traveler, Trojan Mascot)."

Nov. 25 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. regulation that became final on Monday will require the largest domestic airlines next year to tell the government why flights are delayed or canceled.
The requirement overhauls how carriers and regulators prioritize and disseminate information to the public on flight delays, which was a pressing concern before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the airline industry downturn reordered aviation priorities.
"Although airline on-time performance has improved since early 2001, we need to act now to avoid a repeat of the chronic flight delays of the past," Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta said.
The rule, which takes effect in six months, will require airlines to file monthly reports with the Transportation Department on their flight operations, including the reasons for delays and cancellations. Current rules only require data on the number and extent of delays.
Flights are delayed or canceled for numerous reasons, including bad weather, crew or maintenance problems, air traffic control tie-ups, airport congestion and security.
Delays and cancellations plagued the industry in the summer of 2000 and throughout much of 2001 as airlines tried to accommodate record numbers of travelers. The situation got so bad that congressional pressure prompted policy changes, including the delay reporting rule.
But with fewer people traveling now and airlines dramatically cutting schedules as they struggle with the worst ever industry downturn, delays and cancellations have plummeted. The nation's air space is less congested and airports are better able to handle the reduced volume of traffic.
A flight is considered "on-time" if it pulls up to the gate within 15 minutes of its scheduled arrival time.

Canada's PM says Bush is not 'a moron'
23/11/2002 - 21:04:38
Canada's prime minister Jean Chretien has told his country's media that George W Bush is not "a moron".
He was forced to make the statement after his chief spokeswoman called Mr Bush a moron for trying to make a possible war with Iraq the top of Nato's agenda.
The comment caused a diplomatic row between the countries and led to two days of apologies.
The spokeswoman, Francoise Ducros, offered to resign, but Mr Chretien is keeping her on.
According to the New York Daily News,
Mr Chretien said: "He is a friend of mine. He isn't a moron at all."

How a Woman takes a shower vs. how a Man does....
1. Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks.
2. Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see your boyfriend/husband along the
way, cover up any exposed flesh and rush to the bathroom.
3. Look at your womanly physique in the mirror and stick out your gut so that you can complain
and whine even more about how you're getting fat.
4. Get in the shower. Look for facecloth, armcloth, legcloth, long loofah, wide loofah and
pumice stone.
5. Wash your hair once with Cucumber and Lamfrey shampoo with 83 added vitamins.
6. Wash your hair again with Cucumber and Lamfrey shampoo with 83 added vitamins.

The group of women concluded that computers should be referred to in the
masculine gender because:
l. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time
they ARE the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
little longer, you could have had a better model.
The men, on the other hand, decided that computers should definitely be
referred to in the feminine gender because:
l. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later
retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your paycheck on accessories for it.
