Man, It was nearly impossible to post anything in the other thread
I have to say that Saturday was one of the best birthday parties ever. As I am writing this I am having flashbacks through the Knob Creek and MM fog. There was a Chinese News station there right? And CT hung out with us until 12 AM?
There were bacon scallops, a grand slam, back to back homers, fireworks and a 15-1 trouncing of the Angels?
My hands are freaking killing me, so i know that J-Laff’s photos of me playing my drum are real.
Thank you so much to those of you wished me a happy birthday and took the time to join as one. It was like de ja vous all over again.

Lynn has a sweet Pepper Shaker that is a customized A's Bat:
She handed it to me and it swung pretty well, so I said, man all we’d need is some pepper and we’d really have a combo, and without batting an eyelash, she tossed a plastic salt shaker into the air.
The old instincts kicked in and I drilled a lined drive that sent salt flying everywhere for over 50 feet. I don’t know if I’ve ever made better contact on anything in my life. Then again, it was all in the timing.

I was highly disappointed in this year’s incarnation of dot racing at the Coliseum. No idea why they got rid of last year’s pretty elephant-shaped racetrack. This version is even worse than the pre-elephant one.

simply because the stats people prefer stats
and the social people prefer social doesn’t mean there’s no interaction between the two, dfa. There are several prominent members who enjoy both: dan, mikev, nico…you used to enjoy the occasional game thread yourself before you got too busy for it. monkeyball was notoriously known for being able to vacillate between the complex and the inane, as were many great thinkers and writers in their time.
And as far as Ms. Pamela’s role, she seems sincere in her desire to learn stats, as well as in her desire to socialize. There’s nothing that says we can’t coexist and intermingle.

The dot racing they had at that game was ot anything like the one they usually have at the games.
Its way more CGI than the one we saw. I wondered what happened….but I agree that the best kind is the live kind.

I am watching “And the Band Played On,” which is this harrowing film from 20 years ago about the advent of AIDS, and Phil Collins plays the gay bath-house owner… now that’s casting.

I had never seen it before now
it actually doesn’t date badly at all, mostly cuz it sticks to the 1981-1985 timeframe when the whole thing was still a mystery disease.
Great casting in that film; the cameos alone (Phil Collins, Steve Martin, etc.) are out of control. I really liked it and am amazed at how different it all is now, being a sort of manageable condition like diabetes or whatever.
