While I have a definite dislike for sock puppets, zombies and ex-Angels/current Mariners third basemen, there are things I like, too.
Like...brightly colored airport walkways! Here's a hint, make sure you're feeling it in a good way before changing concourses at O'Hare.
But I've got a new hobby. I believe this gentleman shares my enthusiasm.
Chasing Squirrels (via DrumS4Life08)

Squirrels! Get em! Yay!
I like this place a lot. Like, a lot. Like I might kill one of you to get to eat there. But only one of the stat geeks (they've all stopped reading by now, right?).
Speaking of cannibalism...I like him a lot. Here's one I actually have posted in my shop for my monkeys who don't spell write, er rite, I mean....well, you know. Here's one apropos to the game thread conversations.
I like this a lot. Me and SMA-L got a lot in common, actually.

Linky makes me think of two things. The hot links with the onions and the peppers and SuSlu. I love hot links, though how they feel about me remains a mystery. They have not committed one way or the other yet.
Which leaves Susan. I like SuSlu. She rocks. She likes us, too, which is kinda cool! I wonder if this means AN's dating her...

I don’t know if that counts. You don’t eat brains mindlessly. You eat cheese mindlessly, unless you are a zombie made of cheese.
In that instance, I do hate you, but I think you’re delicious.

My parents house used to have squirrels hiding in the ceiling
once one of them scratched his way through the ceiling and left a small hole. My Dad took a can of compressed air and stuck the straw through the hole to spray it and it poked the squirrel instead because it was sitting on the hole. We could hear the squirrel scamper away.
The squirrels would wake me up in the middle of the night scratching the sheetrock above my bed. I would bang on the ceiling to scare them away but they would always come back. Then one day I saw the squirrel sitting on the lattice next to the back deck. I decided to exact revenge on the sleep stealing varmit so I got out my paintball gun. I lined up the shot and pulled the trigger and hit him right in the face! He shot straight up in the air grabbing his face and thrashing around and then feel to the ground. As soon as he hit the ground he shot off like a rocket to a nearby tree. Afterwards I actually felt terrible and I decided never to shoot an animal again. I’m not exactly sure why I shot it, who knows if it was even one of the squirrels in the ceiling, I guess I’ll just blame it on being a young teenager.

Uhhhhhggggg....
There once was a big construction project where I work which made it necessary to knock down walls in a very old building. Apparently the rats living in the building didn’t take to kindly to their nest being renovated. So they hung around outside by the hundreds. You could walk out the door and literally see hundreds of them scurrying up trees and into bushes. When I say rats, I mean rats. Not to be confused with tiny little mice. Gnarly, hairy, long tailed, nasty ass rats. The brazen little bastards would climb trees at eye heights and commence to stare you down as you approached them. One of the guys sprayed one with pepper spray. He nailed the little bastard right between the eyes with a solid stream of pepper. The effing rat never even blinked. The only reaction was to rub its face briskly with its nasty ass little rat hands and then commenced to hiss and stare us down.

Reminds me of a squirrel camping story.....
the family used to go camping every summer at Tahoe. Camping at Tahoe used to make me very happy!!!
Every year there seemed to be a varmint infestation of some sort and one year it was – you guessed it – squirrels. They were a living example of the overpopulation of a species. They were everywhere and the boldest rodent – type animals we had ever seen. They were everywhere and a giant nuisance. One even ran up my dad’s leg!! It was a bit scary when there were signs all over the place warning us of the dangers of consorting with these squirrels who were carriers of both rabies and the bubonic plague.
So we got to harassing them in our own way….mostly throwing shit at them. One of the funniest things that happened was when my little bro got one good and the squirrel went into a circular frenzy. We called him the little sidewinder (the squirrel, not my brother) and laughed so hard we cried!! It was the stuff of family memories. Makes me smile even now!
"throwing shit"
If you mean this literally then you and your brother sound a lot dirtier than the squirrels! ;)
shit=any handy object that would make a squirrel run away
rocks, food, pine cones, ice…you get the picture!!
These things are good: ice cream and cake, a ride on a harley, seeing monkeys in the trees, the rain on my tongue, and the sun shining on my face. These things are a drag: dust in my hair, holes in my shoes, no money in my pocket, and the sun shining on my face.

the O'Hare walkway colors are especially weird when you're travelling all night
things I like include
Getting a message just now that my season tickets have just been shipped!!
Holy crap, the O'Hare colored walkway is still there?!
I have cousins in Cincinnati. When I was a kid, my dad worked for United Airlines, so we got heavily discounted stand-by tickets. The most direct route from SFO to Cincinnati was by way of O’Hare. I used to live for that walkway.
Well, that and Skyline Chili.

My mom works for American Airlines
and we use to fly through ORD and I totally have the exact same experience when we were going to Michigan for summers. I love that walkway.
I do have to disagree with the last part, Skyline Chili sucks. I was at my fundi cousin’s wedding in Cincy in 08 and was really excited to try some of the famous chili but it was bland and bad no spice no flavor and spagetti. Made absolutely no sense to me. Actually everything that I ate outside of the Taste of Cincinnati was terrible and probably explains why both my cousins from Ohio complain that all the west coast cousins talk about is food and its boring. The taste had some baller tri tip and greek food though.

Okay, granted, I haven’t had Skyline in a really long time, but I used to love the stuff, as did my whole family. It’s very much a different animal than regular chili. If you go in expecting chili chili, I could definitely see being disappointed.

It just didn't have ANY flavor. Im not sure what I was suppose to be expecting.

I agree on all counts
I think the love story was too disconnected from the game. It was a good opportunity to get inside the head games of a pitcher/catcher vs. man/woman dynamics. On one end the strategic planning to work through a tough lineup and on the other hand the emotional planning to work through the struggles of maintaining that long distance/pro athlete relationship. Both having external influences like the fielders behind the pitcher and the unpredictability or the trials and tribulations involved in the personal relationship with the daughter, the hand, not seeing each other often, etc. There’s an interesting juxtaposition and connection between teaming up to pitch a perfect game and teaming up to build a solid relationship.

I stopped getting the newspaper delivered about a year ago because they never got it to me before I left for work and there is just so much information on the web.
It’s sad because a free and aggressive press is very important to keeping things from going badly in our country but it’s going to be hard to have that when no one can make any money in journalism.

Happiness...

Also, Scotch. Pretty brunette girl + 3 fingers of Scotch in same evening = Happiness overload.
Recently, the artwork of Jamie Hewlett makes me happy. I do a little drawing, and I’ve been trying to incorporate some of Mr. Hewlett’s elements in what I do. ’Cause what he do is so pretty:
And on a related note, Mr. Hewlett’s band (along with former Blur frontman/sworn enemy of the Gallagher brothers Damon Albarn) Gorillaz has released a new album— “Plastic Beach.” My iTunes is already sick of it, but I’m not. It’s gold, Jerry, gold!

The Oxford comma is what iglew didn't use in that sentence.

Without Oxford comma:
X is A, B, C and D.

Well I went to school in California (dark ages known as 80's & 90's)
and I don’t remember being told to use it and I don’t when I’m writing now.
I could be wrong about this however as I spent my high school years being a smart ass and I only paid attention during my history and journalism classes.
80s/90s Cal, except they drilled it into us
until high school then just stopped giving a shit either way. I only use it when I’m doing lists within lists or complicated groupings or when I just say fuck it and add it in for shits and giggles.
Leopold Bloom on why he loves Mr. Peter Gammons, his best buddy:
"Peter Gammons systematically ignored and/or ran down the A’s in the pages of Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News for a good ten year stretch in the late seventies and early to mid-eighties. Trust me, the c**ksucker hates our team."
Why the Oxford comma is right
Example A: In a will, someone leaves money evenly divided between Arthur, Bob, and Carl. There is no confusion and the three split the money.
Example B: Someone leaves money to Arthur, Bob and Carl. Arthur is a greedy bastard. He argues the will implies he gets half and Bob and Carl get the other half divided amongst them. The lack of comma gives him some support.
"Loyal? I'm the most loyal player money can buy." - Don Sutton
I really like the Wikipedia example.
In the context of a book’s dedication: “To my parents, Ayn Rand and God”.
Taken down with hearts alive, our hearts alive.
Lack of the comma can also create ambiguity.
For example, “While strolling in the lobby at intermission I saw Dan Merqury, a famous gay porn star, and Salma Hayek.”
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
I like the comma, but there's no way in hell
the comma gives any support to Arthur in that example. The intent is 100% clear. No judge is so out of touch with reality that he’s going to put the weird mathematical abstraction of how punctuation might be ruled if it were an equation above the obvious intent.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Agreed
Unless “half” was included somewhere there’s no ambiguity.

High heels are a hideous bitch goddess.

I used to walk like that a lot.
Not sure why. It was just more comfortable. I still do sometimes, but not as much as in my youth.
I suppose that’s why high heels were an easy adjustment for me when I had occasion to wear them.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
It's good exercise,
but not at the expense of ones’ ability to wear flats.
I’ll wear heels if I’m with a client or going out to an event in a car,
but if I’m going to be walking around any, I usually wear big-ass gothic death stomper platform boots.
Then again, who am I to talk? I haven’t left my house dressed up since January. I feel like such a slacker.

You've got the analog wrong
Chinese people don’t sit around and contemplate their Asian-ness. They do, however, contemplate their Chinese-ness. White people don’t sit around and contemplate their White-ness, but if their Italian, they may likely sit around and contemplate their Italian-ness, or Irish their Irish-ness (hello St. Patty). The cultural identity isn’t related to white-ness, but does tend to (in most/some/a lot of cases) contemplate their historical nationality. Being white to white folk tends to be (in most/some/a lot of cases) entirely irrelevant unless you’re really really scary (in most/some/a lot of cases).

Not really.
The ships, for the most part, gathered all the peripheral data they needed by the 70’s. Experiments at that time of sending aliens down in illusory human form failed big time because human language, interaction, and social context are so complicated, that the aliens just couldn’t function here. So, they started to incarnate new beings directly into the bodies of baby humans, so that the aliens could go through the human socialization process, and therefore, understand language and context. However, beings that went through this process lost most of their alienness and are more human than alien, now.

That's a common misconception
The experiments didn’t fail because they couldn’t understand the language, interaction and social context. It failed because they were easily addicted to porn. Instead of focusing on the social hoopla, they focused strictly on the sex. The human babies they incarnated would have succeed if not for the rise of the internet and, well, you know, the abundance of internet porn, which, ironically, was spearheaded by the original aliens who were originally addicted. It’s sad really and I think about it often.

My new favorite thing in poker is having rockets in the big blind when three people have pushed all in ahead of you. The happened to me last week at Pete’s when there were only six players left in a $50 buy in tournament. I busted all three and won the tourney ten hands latter for $945.
don’t feed the trolls, they’ll multiply like a wet Gizmo.....Mr Tea
I actually don't like that situation
I mean rockets are always awesome, but with three people already all in, it seems one of them hits a lot. And you pretty much have to call. Although maybe this is just memory bias.
"Loyal? I'm the most loyal player money can buy." - Don Sutton
It is scary.
But the way I see it, you clearly have a better chance of winning than they do. So you make the call.
Taken down with hearts alive, our hearts alive.
Every player in against you when you have rockets
decreases your odds.
adragon made the right move of course, but it wasn’t a cakewalk.

It’s going to be nice watching the A’s develop, especially when Carter gets called up in late May/June. Even if they don’t win it, the Slegna probably won’t win it, either, and there are a lot of my favorite baseball people involved with those other teams (Nolan Ryan, Ron Washington, Rich Harden, Don Wakamatsu, Ken Griffey Jr, Ichiro)
I’m bullish on: Rajai Davis, Gio Gonzalez, Brett Anderson, Chris Carter
