DLD 2-5-10: Deliver us From Evil...Don
by 67MARQUEZ on Feb 5, 2010 9:22 AM PST

PrintI would have liked to proclaim this as an "Ali-like return" to DLD-land, but since this is actually monkeyball’s world and we’re just wandering aimlessly in it, this is more like Rocky Balboa, and I’m Paulie.
This has troubled me ever since the previews of Shutter Island first came out:
Could Patient 67 be Evil Don?
Speaking of troubled, this makes me think of the plight of one Travis Buck:
A football game will be played on Sunday, but the fortunes of the AFC rep might rest on an ankle.
This will be the XLIV’d version of the Super Bowl. The very first one was played in 1967, the year yours truly was born. But you already knew that.
I am short on time, and speaking of that, our Oakland A’s have been featured on the cover of TIME Magazine four times:
Dump if you wish.

you should go see a doctor if your vision goes blurry or you have
an election lasting more than four hours.
I don’t understand that though because our elections last like 12 hours and nobody seems to mind.

Super Bowl!
Great commercials and food. Hopefully some decent football, too.
What’s everybody having? I need a little inspiration.

I like meatballs.

Costco ribs are awesome
They’re pre-cooked and marinated. All you have to do is fire up the barbie and toss them on for 10 min or so. And they’re bloody delicious.

speaking of food (and not simply to lynnzgal)
The taquitos from Trader Joe’s are quite tasty.
You get about ten in a package, frozen. Microwave, or (as I do) put them in the oven for 15+15 minutes (turn them). Pre-cooked. With the shredded beef, they are very very good. And no fuss.
Awaiting the start of the 2010 season!

The return of Evil Don
That Buck cartoon is teh awesome.
Also, I just realized I have no idea who is playing in the Super Bowl. See what happens when you avoid ESPN?
Go ahead, someone enlighten me. I’ll see it here before I see it anywhere else.

Someone told me at work today.
I said “Saints? really? are they good now?” The Colts sounded reasonable. They won one recently, didn’t they?
Do the Saints even have a stadium to play in? I thought it got flood-damaged.

The poll says. . .
A friend of mine put up a poll on his website asking who would win the superbowl, and it went as follows:
0% New York Yankees
29% Conan O’Brien
14% Archduke Franz Ferdinand
0% The 1965 Green Bay Packers
57% I don’t follow hockey
Results are current as of 1:20pm PST
Great Poll
That’s funny.

Grady Sizemore
Have you been a bad boy?
Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore has apologized for the leaking of semi-nude photos of him on the internet.
He maintains that the pictures were stolen from his e-mail account and regrets the embarrassment they have caused.
“It’s tough,” Sizemore said.

Okay, so a new level of sign hell today.
My monkey called in sick yesterday and today. I’ve been physically making signs for the past two days. I’ve worked harder today than I have in 15 years. For someone who prides himself on his ability to find positions of little to no work, I seem to be working an awful lot.

when you're not around
the entire commenting rate for all of AN goes down noticeably. I reload the front page and see that there are only 1 or 2 new comments for all of the recent and recommended fANposts. That’s when I think to myself “must be a busy day at the sign shop” or, alternately, “Evil Don must have finally caught LB, and locked him away in the torture chamber”.
What's the difference between the two?

why couldn’t it be “LB finally got lucky. Go LB!!!”
CuttheMullet, from "The Thread":
"Whenever I’m about to do something, I think "would an idiot do that?" and if they would, I do not do that thing."
And no, I'm not being delusional with that last one
Just cautiously optimistic for good ol’ LB.

Names
There was this kid in Tanzania – her name was Usadala. Her parents, like most parents anywhere in the world, wanted their daughter to grow healthy and strong. Her parents, unlike most, gave her a name with a meaning. Her parents, again like many, had little bit too much faith in US$…
Have a glove you could spare for a good cause? If so please let me know
I also met Usmail in Cuba
Dad was sending money home regularly…

Must be a disappointment to him that he couldn't
sign with a major-league team.

Always the summers are slipping away.
Find me a way for making it stay.

Burton Guster: "I believe it’s called a tweet."
Shawn Spencer: "There’s no way I’m saying that."
And now we know why he didn't sign with the Rangers or Dodgers

As far as Mexican fast food goes,
there’s really no beating Jimboy’s, which seems to be limited to Reno and Sactown, and areas between. Which mean they’re not anywhere near Sarasota, Florida, which really pisses me off.

Man vs. Lion
Fun read in the Chron yesterday about two hikers walking straight into a pair of mountain lions while going off trail. Any ANers in La Honda or Loma Mar, be on the lookout.
Two men on a hike in a San Mateo County park came face-to-face with a pair of mountain lions, swung a stick to try to drive them away and hustled back to their car as the cougars followed them, state officials say.
