DLD 021009: Linka-Dinka-Doo
by monkeyball on Feb 10, 2009 11:26 AM PST
258 comments
Whoa. So, I had the semi-clever notion of using the subtitle "Linka-Dinka-Doo," so I figured, well, Let's wikiup Jimmy Durante. (Yes, I'm advocating using the word "wikiup" as a quasineologistic portmanteau for "look up on wikipedia." Deal with it.)
Wouldn'chaknow -- today is in fact The Schnozzola's birthday! Since (a) I think that's a remarkable little synchronistic coinkydink, and (b) I'm lazy, them's the only links I got.
I'm also declaring this DLD a 'roid-talk-free zone. Yap about A-Rod and Tejada in yesterday's DLD. Commence dumping!

Sexual trimorphism
Males of some animal species can adopt alternative reproductive strategies. For example, species may have two types of male, one of large size and horns that guard females, and one of smaller size that lacks horns and sneaks copulation

is "sneaking copulation" anything like "period seizing"?
… or, for that matter, taco snuggling?

So these uncapitalized usernames ...
Are we supposed to:
a) never capitalize them? (“monkeyball gave kaweahkaweah a yellow tulip.”)
b) capitalize them at the start of a sentence? (“MikeA baked bread for baseballgirl.”)
c) capitalize them according to whimsy? (“devo defeated Salb918 in an intense game of Connect 4.”)
The confusion is killing me.
by 74mk on Feb 10, 2009 12:26 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
well, they're user-defined, right?
So if grover doesn’t want capitalization, he gets it (or doesn’t get it).
But you bring up a valid point. I think we’d have to capitalize it at the beginning of a sentence. Let me try an experiment…
Grover loves AN so much that grover is happy when AN grows.
(now we wait…)

It's been far too long since we've discussed douchebags
A judge threw out a case by a hot chick who was supposedly photographed with a douchebag.
The 60-year-old jurist also questioned whether a reasonable person could “believe that Jean-Paul Sartre stated ‘man is condemned to be douchey because once thrown into the world he is responsible for every douchey thing that he does.’”

You need to know some idioms
First, “nom de guerre” is the French phrase for a pseudonym. Literally it means “war name”, but it’s a common term (even somewhat in English) for any pseudonym.
Second, “pomme de terre” is what the French call a potato. Literally it means “earth apple”.
The two sound similar even in French (and even more similar in English where the “m” in “nom” would likely still be enunciated). By saying “nom de terre” Monkeyball’s friend alluded to both.
The pun would also work if he had said “pomme de guerre”

Finally!
Not sure if this has been linked to previously, but I just noticed, so here it is … MLB.TV gets better in two enormously important ways this year:
1. You can choose between home or away television feeds (no more Darrin Jackson).
2. You can listen to the radio broadcast while watching the TV feed. I predict this will increase my enjoyment of the baseball season by approximately 93,000%.
For me, #2 makes #1 irrelevant, as I will always listen to the A’s radio feed. But this sort of flexibility is long overdue, and (coupled with the discount from 2008 prices), makes MLB.TV an even better deal than it already was.
Jesus. I sound like I’m hawking miracle sponges or all-in-one chopping tools on a late night infomercial. Whatever. I don’t care. MLB.TV has graduated from awesome to whatever the level above awesome is. For the past several years, I’ve prayed for three things:
1. The continued health of my family
2. World peace
3. The ability to synch A’s radio and TV feeds
So. Psychic persistence pays off. Faith is vindicated. Patience is rewarded.
I look outside my window this morning, and I see flowers blooming, birds gliding above rooftops, commuters whistling cheery tunes. The aroma of coffee curls through the cubicle corridors, which somehow feel warmer and more welcoming today. I open an email entitled “Vertical strat flow mtg”, and rather than racing to the bathroom to throw up and question my life path, I smile and type out a pleasant, jargon-peppered response.
The whole world is born anew. Thanks, MLB.TV.

Yeah. I lied about the family health and world peace parts.
Last season, I quickly got to the point where I could no longer stomach the Kuiper/Fosse broadcasts. So I’d play the (muted) TV feed on Mosaic simultaneous with the Gameday radio feed. But of course one is always several seconds ahead of the other, which is nearly as frustrating as listening to Kuiper vomit platitudes, so eventually I scrapped that and went solely with the radio broadcast. Which sucked, because basically I’d paid a hundred dollars for TV feeds I wasn’t watching.
MLB.TV is great, but Kuiper/Fosse are unwatchable.

WTC? (what the crap)
In April 2005, Alomar told Dall he was suffering from erectile dysfunction and confided “he was raped by two Mexican men after playing a ballgame in New Mexico or a Southwestern state when he was 17,” the suit says.
I always wondered why one of the best 2nd basemen totally fell off the map. I guess AIDS and sports don’t mix well (wait, I guess nothing mixes well with AIDS). Poor guy.
