I'm actually optimistic about the 49ers chances next week.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I don't usually ask for anything nor celebrate my birthday
but a Saints and Patriots win would be super cool
I'm on the 10th.
Of April, though. Just something to keep in mind.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
well, I didn't tell y'all the day of the month, so it's a little tougher than y'all thought....
There's no crying in baseball!
I believe in celebrating my birthday year.
It begins at midnight on April 10, and ends the following year at 1159pm on April 9.

There is a distinct lack of curling in that poll.
"This must be heaven," he says.

If all is going according to plan, my parents are currently sitting in IAD, awkwardly not talking while awaiting a flight to Dubai.

Watching this truffle thing on 60 Minutes is making me hungry.

doing well
I get tired easily though and I still have a little headache, so naps are required. Of course, when I’m all healed, I’ll still insist that naps are required….

Geez, it must be time for primaries.
A Mittens commercial, followed by She Turned Me Into A Newt, and finally an ad for The Crazy Texan.

It's campaign money. He can't really do anything else with it, can he?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
So this is the first time that I've really seen Tebow play for a while
He throws really funny. I can’t quite put my finger on it, and it’s not just because he’s a lefty, but it looks odd.
"He's listed as day to day, but then again, aren't we all?" — Vin Scully
Yeah
He seems like every throw, he was putting out twice the effort that Roethlisberger was.
"He's listed as day to day, but then again, aren't we all?" — Vin Scully
effort should not make up for lack of skill, but it seems to with him.

His bread and butter and running around crazily in the backfield
as his WRs break downfield. You can’t really game plan that as on OC and as a DC you just hope your DBs don’t lose their coverage
It works, though
I did like seeing the option come back to the NFL though.
"He's listed as day to day, but then again, aren't we all?" — Vin Scully
It works but it is such a gamble you can't go into a game saying this is our plan.
It comes from a lack of reading coverage and not throwing before the WR breaks. So he does create things out of nothing in a sense that he saw nothing, then does crazy shit behind the line and viola deep pass completion when he is accurate.
I gotta give him credit, he made a couple of pretty throws.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I thought this was kind of an odd entry
On an “Eat this, not that,” post… 20 habits that make you fat:
No. 16: Having overweight friends. Harsh but true.

pretty sure that's something you can eat
and not worry about gaining weight
"He's listed as day to day, but then again, aren't we all?" — Vin Scully
"Tebow? Oh, he was a good boy....always stood still while I hemmed his pants..."
“Do you think he shot Buckwheat?”
“Oh, sure! That’s all he ever talked about!”

Adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions, and mixed numbers.

I just need to remember that he can’t help his problem. The physical development of his brain makes memory difficult. The sad part, is that he did so well last week. Two steps forward, and one back. Our goal is to help him lead an independent life, were he can do the basic things, like balance his checkbook, etc. The neat part is that he always has a HUGE smile on his face!

Thanks, stm. That means a lot to me.

He'll be thirteen in March.

It's requirements are just stupid.
I didn’t learn fractions until 8th grade. This crap that we are soo far behind the rest of the world, forgets that there are those who don’t NEED to know it, and those who CAN’T know it.

this stuff can be so abstract that its hard for kids to understand in the best of circumstances. just remember the victories and hopefully it makes the tougher times a bit easier for the both of you.
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
yeah....abstract stuff is very difficult to remember. AND teaching some of the fractions stuff with manipulatives is difficult as well!

One of the fortunes of war in construction, is that, believe it or not,
I never dealt with fractions, I always converted fractions to 100ths of a foot. Works great with a calculator, and you can do it in your head.

yup...there are great calculators that do the hard calculations. When I was a spec ed teacher I was always debating about
teaching the processes or teaching the calculator…..tried to hit a happy medium
AN Tailgate = Euphemism for food porn.
His problem isn't doing the calculations.
His problem is that he can’t understand the word problems, and doesn’t know HOW to solve a problem. His counselor said it has to do with his brain not seeing words as a movie picture, like most of us do. Words are just sounds to him.

Yeah, Its tough to teach problem solving to someone who doesn't see a problem.

I used to spend a lot of time helping kids recognize the words that are necessary to setting up problems from words
we’d cross out stuff and replace it until all that was left is the problrm

We are working on that concept.

dude, this is harder than I thought
why didn’t I just go buy new tires? or a new bike? that might have been easiest….

I’m Watching Hartsfield’s Landing and thinking of the two of you.
“Politics in New Hampshire is what?”
“Retail.”
Also, do NOT mess with Charlie.
And, most importantly, “see the whole board.” So. Cool.
Happy New Year, the rest of you. Here’s hoping you’ve been resolute with your resolutions so far. If not, don’t fret. If you truly cared about doing something, you wouldn’t have waited for a new year to start. And first prize to those of you who never made any resolutions because you correctly figured out that you’re perfect just the way you are.
Cheers.

A bit of advice....
If you’re going to be the head coach of the Oakland Raiders….rent but don’t buy.
But seriously, folks....
That non real org won a lot of games
All I see is a rookie owner, a rookie GM and now a most likely rookie head coach. So great now the Raiders will be like every other team….most of which fail……WooHoo!
But seriously, folks....
8 is not a lot
This way they can burn it down with no residual Al leftovers with the exception of Trask.
So we're only counting last season then......I'm talking about the last 50 years.
I don’t want to burn everything down….that’s my point.
But seriously, folks....
No I don't
some of the moves worked some of them didn’t but I have no desire to become the Oakland Packers.
The Raiders are unique but so far McKenzie seems pretty ordinary to me.
But seriously, folks....
He's one of my all time favorite actors
and Cool Hand Luke is one of my 10 favorite movies.
But seriously, folks....
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is one of my all time favorite westerns.
But seriously, folks....
I also like "Hombre"
“If he tries to leave, shoot him once; if he tries to take the money, shoot him twice; if he tries to take the water, empty the gun.”
So Cope.....what did you think of your boys on Sunday?
I only watched the last 20 minutes but man that was a heck of a game.
But seriously, folks....
Well, we all enjoy our teams in different ways.
I have to say I can’t wait for the game on Saturday night. On paper the Pats should roll but there is a magic to this Broncos team that can’t be denied.
But seriously, folks....
I'm just rooting for a good game.
But it’s not in me to ever and I mean ever root for the Broncos to win anything.
But seriously, folks....
Just finished the Raiders press conference
Mark Davis has quite the bowl cut…..he looks like a low rent John Gruden…..both Davis and McKenzie could use some work on giving a speech.
But seriously, folks....
If Al Golden wasn't so busy burning up the recruitment trail he'd be happy to help.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
It won't happen but....
if I could pick the next Raiders coach I’d go Brian Billick……I’d like to see someone with some experience in there and I like offensive minded head coaches.
I guess it’ll be Winston Moss or some other Packers assistant though.
But seriously, folks....
So my Jayhawks, Raiders, A's and Kings have fired their coaches in the last few months.
so far I’m not a fan of any of the guys who were hired as the replacement.
But seriously, folks....
I don't dislike Melvin.....I just have no opinion of him.
Weiss I think will be a disaster at KU but most people are a disaster at KU.
But seriously, folks....
This.
He’s adorable and spunky and nice and doesn’t incite me to violence.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Fair enough
I just hope the don’t hold next season’s record against him….no one could win with that team.
But seriously, folks....

I’m going to put the main story line off for a while and focus on making money and building my character up…..smithing looks like the way to add points easily.
But seriously, folks....

better off leveling by exploring using all your abilities
I'm just going to bank the perks

Mike Mularkey as new Jaguars coach
He’s had some success as an OC in Pittsburgh and Atlanta but his 1 1/2 year run as Buffalo’s head coach wasn’t much.
But seriously, folks....
Well, you have maybe two good receivers, an old RB and a FB playing QB so it's hard to judge.
But seriously, folks....
I'm no Tebow fan, but he actually made some nice throws against Pittsburgh.
I wouldn’t want him as the 49ers QB, but he throws the deep ball better than Alex Smith.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
He does throw a nice deep ball.....his 10-15 yard passes might be the worst I've ever seen though.
But hey they’re 8-4 with him under center so what the hell.
But seriously, folks....
Hell, ride him as far as he'll take you.
Who knows, maybe he’ll have some trade value this offseason.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
If they traded Tebow there would be a riot in Denver
he’s the Broncos QB next year for sure with the win over the Steelers even though Elway and Fox hate him.
But seriously, folks....
That's probably true.
But if and when he falters, he’ll lose all his value.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I'm not sure he has any value outside of one of the Florida teams wanting him to sell tickets.
I still don’t think he’s a long term viable QB but who knows?
But seriously, folks....
I agree, I think defenses will figure him out.
I don’t think anyone will give up a 1st round pick for him. But a 3rd or 4th rounder? Maybe. And before this year, I doubt he would’ve netted even that.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I'd take him as a FB and a wildcard type player
put him in there and let him make a few football plays….the kid has talent and drive.
But seriously, folks....
I think a smart coach could find a way to use him 7-8 times a game
that would help you win.
But seriously, folks....
As an opposing coach...
And using 49ers players as examples, since I know them better, I’d probably assign Patrick WIllis to shadow Tebow, while letting Aldon Smith go after him on every sack. I’d drop my safeties back and let Bowman and the DL worry about the run.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I'd stack the box
and play press defense on the receivers and make Tebow throw into a small window.
But seriously, folks....
Good move by Dallas bringing in Bill Callahan as an offensive coach.
He’s good at building a running game.
But seriously, folks....
After tonight I've decided the best omelette is one with sharp cheddar, tomato and avocado.
But seriously, folks....
There used to be a place here that did one with Italian sausage and sauteed onions and red and green peppers.
Amazing.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Bill Mueller got 4 Hall of Fame votes?
Brad Radke got 2?…..seriously the “writers” who did this should lose their vote.
But seriously, folks....
No but he is someone who wants you to say Miller and spells his name Mueller.

I worked for the Bradley campaign....what a f'ing mess that thing was.
and it turns out John Edwards was kind of a fraud in pretty much every way.
But seriously, folks....
I've never worked for any campaigns.
My cousin’s kid ran a campaign office in Penn. for Obama in ’08.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Politics was my life before I decided I wanted a life and got into teaching.
It was fun and crazy and awful and amazing but you sure didn’t make much money.
But seriously, folks....
My Business Practices instructor warned us not to work for campaigns.
Or, more correctly, he said not to do work for a campaign unless you believed in the cause and were willing to give your work away for free. He said campaigns always put off paying photogs and graphic artists, and almost never ended up paying them at all.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I got stiffed more than once....mostly on local campaigns
and for years I worked for free which is not in my DNA but it was what you had to do to get your foot in the door.
I was about to start a business with some friends that helped do the fundraising part of the gig but I got out instead.
But seriously, folks....
I have some friends who manage campaigns here in SC.
They typically win 70-75% of their elections. That’s amazing, considering that they manage Democrats in South Carolina. They always have juicy gossip on politicians, too.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I had a Pittsburgh Pirates like winning percentage
to be fair I never came close to managing anything so I can’t get much of the blame.
My favorite thing was I did some speech writing…..that I really loved.
But seriously, folks....
Ooh, that sounds like fun.
I would try to write a speech that rhymes, just to see if anyone notices.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Or it would be fun to try to work in famous phrases from movies.
“And I told my son, ‘I am your father.’”
“And she just looked at me and said, ‘Play it, Sam.’”
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
But you can call your wife a cunt any time the mic is on, right?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Depends on how much you hate half your shit.
Since that’s what she’ll be taking.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I know you don't value modern metrics.
But if you did, you’d say that Larkin was a bit better offensively, but Trammell was a lot better defensively.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Yes, with Larkin having a slight edge.
I was a huge Alan Trammell fan as a kid.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Trammell/Whitaker was one of the best middle infield combos I've ever seen.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Actually, THE best.
Or at least the most fun to watch.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Two crazy rumors....Gruden is coming back to Oakland....sure....and the Raiders are going to sigh Matt Flynn....sure part 2
But seriously, folks....
I would have brought him back but our new rookie GM is getting to make his play.
I don’t have good feelings about it in my gut.
But seriously, folks....
I feel bad for the next coach.
He’s coming into a bad situation, what with the lack of high draft picks.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I still think talent wise the Raiders are even footing with the rest of the division.
My biggest concern as I said above is rookie owner + rookie GM + rookie head coach = uh-oh.
But seriously, folks....
It took Jed York what, 10 years to figure out how to hire a HC?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Yeah that has turned out pretty well for the 49ers.
I want a veteran offensive minded head coach but I doubt it’ll happen.
I’d also like to see them go get an established DC and move to the 3-4.
But seriously, folks....
I like the 3-4.
I think it makes a lot more sense in this age of pass-first offenses. Plus, LB’s have become so strong and fast that they’re often as good against the run as DL’s.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I'm a 4-3 guy at heart but I think 3-4 would work better for their talent.
Seymour is a great 3-4 DL and Kelly could be a nice NT.
But seriously, folks....
I just feel that effective D these days requires speed more than size.
Hell, it seems like DL’s are used almost as blockers nowadays, opening holes for the LB’s.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I think it depends on what division you play in as well.
The AFC West is a run first division outside of San Diego.
But seriously, folks....
Yeah, but I think a 3-4 can be very effective against the run, too.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s what Baltimore and Pittsburgh run, is it not?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Yes
I’m not saying it can’t. As I said I’m for the Raiders switching to the 3-4. If I was building a team from scratch I’d build a 4-3 team but that doesn’t mean I’m right.
But seriously, folks....
Fair enough.
Personally, I’d build a team around the OL on offense and the front 7 on D, but I’d go with a 3-4. Still, I think success ultimately depends on controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I'd avoid throwing my franchise QB out there until I have the guys to protect him
I don’t want to David Carr his career.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
David Carr wasn't accurate enough
so even with a good line I doubt he would have been a good QB.
If you wait for a QB when there’s one on the board you’ll most likely be waiting to win for years.
But seriously, folks....
I'd use FA to add depth
but I’d try to get most of my starters through the draft.
But seriously, folks....
I like all women and BEER!
"Trying not to rec a "F**k the Giants" post is like trying not to look at boobs."-anonymous
"i guess i just like beer"-stm
I can see your point.
But it seems like QB’s are hard to find and usually take awhile to develop. So I’d be willing to spend for one.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
It depends
Newton and Dalton look like hits right out of the box but I concede it depends on the talent coming out the year you draft.
But seriously, folks....
That's true.
I guess a lot also depends on how they’re coached. Nolan and Singletary pretty much ruined Alex Smith, I think. And I still say that Kordell Stewart should’ve been great, damn it.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
and now fans in Jacksonville...all 4 of them get to enjoy that baloney as their HC.
But seriously, folks....
and I'd never draft a running back or WR in the first 2 rounds
and I’d never give a RB a second contract.
But seriously, folks....
Nope, not worth it.
Too many good players at both positions available in the mid rounds.
Speaking of, are you familiar with NFL rules regarding compensation for FA’s?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Somewhat on the compensation front.
I know for instance that the Raiders should get a 3rd round pick for Nnamdi.
But seriously, folks....
If I understand the rules correctly, the 49ers get nothing if they lose Gore and Alex Smith, right?
Since Gore is in his 7th year and Smith in his 6th?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I want to say there's no compensation after their 4th year, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Yeah but Nnamdi was well past his 4th year
it’s also possible the rules have changed with the last CBA.
But seriously, folks....
Ah, could be.
If they can get compensated, I’m ok with letting them walk. Gore is a terrific player, but he’s bound to be nearing his effective end. And Smith isn’t a long-term answer.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Didn't Gore just sign a new deal?
They’d lose all the bonus money wouldn’t they?
But seriously, folks....
I thought he re-signed earlier this season but you know the team better than I do.
But seriously, folks....
I recall hearing something about him postponing contract talks until after the season.
But it’s possible that I’m wrong. That almost happened once.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Ah, thanks.
Cool, I can live with him being back next year. If he falters, Hunter seems capable.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I've seen people wearing their gear.
But I live in the South.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
The Panthers are big where you are right?
The Cam Newton run should be fun to root for.
But seriously, folks....
Most folks here are Cowboys fans but because of McFadden I see a fair amount of Raiders stuff
of course there are Raiders fans everywhere.
But seriously, folks....
Yeah, it doesn't hurt that they have probably the best uniforms in the all of pro sports.
And that they have a reputation for being tough as shit.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Certain types of people are just drawn to the Raiders....the renegade thing.
But seriously, folks....
Yes, but it's funny. Most of them seem to be so staid in real life.
Maybe that’s how they act out their aggression.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
and the Raiders haven't really been THE RAIDERS since the late 80's
even the good Gruden/Callahan teams weren’t all that rough they were just solid.
But seriously, folks....
True, they really left that style of play behind.
You know, SIngletary likes smashmouth football. Maybe they should hire him…
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Yeah, and the 49ers.
Apparently before the Panthers came along, the 49ers were huge here. But in the last 10 years or so, a lot of Northerners have started wintering here. So you actually see mostly Pats, Giants and Jets fans around here, along with a fair number of Ravens and Steelers fans. I’d say the Panthers are probably the 6th most popular team in this area.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
There are Steelers, Packers, Cowboys, Giants, Raiders and Browns fans no matter where you are.
The Patriots are like the 49ers were in the 80’s in that they have a lot of recent fans because of all the success but we’ll see if it lasts.
But seriously, folks....
But around here, there are a lot of people from the NE area.
Seriously, there are so many snowbirds that someone started a website called gobacktoohio.com.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I have some friends who drove down to Jacksonville to go to a game.
But they weren’t Jaguars fans. I don’t think they have a favorite NFL team. Actually, I think they went because drinking far from home is more fun than drinking near home. The wife got so drunk that on the way back, she rolled down the window and puked all over the side of her husband’s truck. His white truck. Owned by a man with OCD issues when it comes to cleanliness.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Ok, it's nigh-night time.
Take care, folks. Talk atcha later!
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I think you mean goodnight, Brian...since it was just you and me here.
Sleep well, Oz.
But seriously, folks....
I suggest following the main quest as far as getting the full unrelenting shout
then go do your own thing. This way you have a pretty useful shout and have started random dragon attacks.
Hey, if you're into Skyrimjobs, that's up to you. I'm not judging.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"

I just got home though, so I’m giving myself a break before I tackle it again….

I still have random moments of sharp pain, but they don’t seem to last long. It still hurts whenever I sleep on my back, which is only a problem if I roll onto my back in the middle of the night….which I do frequently….so I don’t sleep well….sigh….

He was with Rod Brooks midday for many years

I can’t understand why we’ve allowed college to become so damn expensive. We put kids deep into debt after they pay for school and that just isn’t right.

In fact, I’ll buy it and watch it instead of watching the real games this year.

I still think they could of cut 10 minutes out of the movie as it does drag a bit in parts.
I don’t care about the parts that aren’t factual or 100% correct because it’s a movie it’s there to be entertaining.

Shockingly, I've never driven any of the cars on my list. But I want them.
And I mean no offense to your Mustang, which by all accounts, is one hell of a car.

I have no doubt it's not one of the Top 10 sports cars of all time
I doubt I’ll ever be able to afford anything on that list.
But seriously, folks....
Me neither.
But I plan to steal at least 3 of them at some point. After that, I’ll have 3 strikes, so I’ll spend the rest of my life pleasuring my cell mate.

I'm a selfish bitch and I don't care.
Viva la Oakland!
(I actually held this opinion as well when I was living in the South Bay, so I don’t feel bad about it)
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
San Jose is too far from Arkansas. Oakland is just right.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Well that and I have friends and family near Oakland so it's a place I enjoy.
San Jose has never done much for me when I’ve been there and I don’t know anyone who lives there so it’s not a good deal for me.
But seriously, folks....
I'll go at least once to see the new park
but I’d go more if they stay in Oakland.
But seriously, folks....
Yes....I'm sure that's been on their minds
As always I’ll see most of my A’s games in KC and Dallas although since my Uncle in Dallas died I imagine we’ll hit KC more.
But seriously, folks....
I don't think I'll even get the MLB package this year for DirecTV.
We’ll be gone for the summer and by the time we get home the A’s will be 57 games out of 1st place.
But seriously, folks....
Well, they had permission to build in Fremont, look how that turned out
If MLB agrees to let the team move, I think it’s 90% of the battle. Maybe 95% if the Giants are bought off. But it’s not a done deal.

Somehow, even in this economy, I think they'll find plenty of corporate sponsors.

But seriously, folks....
Yep
I don’t think we watch any sitcoms at the moment.
My wife is watching season 1 of Mad Men right now to see if she likes it.
But seriously, folks....
It's my favorite show currently on TV
1. Mad Men
2. Breaking Bad
3. Justified
4. No Reservations
5. PTI
and I like Person of Interest….that’s about it.
But seriously, folks....
I don't know #3-5.
Well, I know #4, but I’ve never watched it. I don’t like Anthony Bourdain.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
PTI is the Kornheiser and Wilbon on ESPN

But seriously, folks....
I just like good food. I don't care if it's fancy or not.

"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I went there too.....it needed to be torn down.
It had it’s charms but it was kind of dumpy too.
But seriously, folks....
Honestly, I'd be there more for the history than the baseball.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
That's why I went
I went there I think 2 years before it closed….I’ve gone on these baseball trips a couple of times where you hit several stadiums….it’s fun.

And it should be.
LIKE I’M MADE OF GLAAAAASS LIKE I’M MADE OF PAPERRRR.

I had heard her name in the past, but only knew that she was a celeb of some sort.
I assumed she was an actress.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
She was. She started out as a Disney channel actress.
Then she moved on to singing, as the Disney pop-culture-factory ladies often do.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Well, and because she went into treatment for an eating disorder + emotional issues and thought it wouldn't be healthy to get back in front of the camera.
She’s released a couple albums.

Ok, Maroon 5 over Red Hot Chili Peppers?
You’re fired, America.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"

I’ve liked a few Chili Peppers songs but the only thing Maroon 5 makes me feel is the urge to change the radio station.
But seriously, folks....
You'd vote for Coldplay.
They were a choice. Can’t remember the rest. In a couple of years, no one else will either.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I would vote for Coldplay although their most recent album is their worst.
It has about 5 good songs and the rest is filler at best.
But seriously, folks....
That Moves Like Jagger song is one of the worst things ever.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Ooh, tough one.
There are a lot that I hate. If I had to pick just one, maybe the one that did that Fly Like a G6 song.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
If you don't know their name then you must not hate them that much.
It is is a tough one….I want to pick someone who isn’t just some one hit wonder though.
But seriously, folks....
Ok.
I can’t stand Mariah Carey. Maybe more than Celine Dion, even.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Wait, maybe Toby Keith.
Although that hatred wouldn’t be limited to musical reasons. He’s just a douche.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Hmm.....I've never heard Toby Keith...not a country music fan....Mariah Carey I thought was hot at one time
Celine Dion is bland.

1. The Beatles
2. Led Zep
3. Black Sabbath
4. Pink Floyd
5. Metallica
6. Primus
7. The Grateful Dead
8. AC/DC
9. Cream
10. The Jimi Hendrix Experience

I don't love any of those bands

But seriously, folks....
Yeah, I'm surprised I didn't have more metal on there.

2) I’ve been getting up at 1430 every day.
3) I don’t have my homework done.
4) I don’t have my reading done.
5) I don’t have my uniform patches sewn on.
I don’t want to go back.
I went to be at 2100 a few nights ago.
Got up at 0500 and 0800. Then I went back to bed and slept until 1400. Then I got up, then went back to bed and slept until 1630. This is not a schedule of a productive person.

You're in Arkansas. You had your baby in a barn, right?
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I am okay if I just go in and just get shit done.
But I can’t just stand in there letting the room fill up. The group of 15 were in the med room last semester and the teacher noticed my panic. She let me stand in the hallway and listen to report.
I'm still amazed I didn't pass out
I was so tense but it all worked out….the drugs for both of us helped.
But seriously, folks....

I would have passed out if I had been doing your job.
But seriously, folks....
My BFF, Nurse Sam, is having a baby in April
She doesn’t want anyone to look at her vag. She wants to put a fenestrated drape over everything but the babies head when it comes out.
We're all scared of that
I still can’t get over how something so big comes out of something so small.
But seriously, folks....
I can understand that
My mom was an RN and my dad was an MD. My mother worked up until about her seventh month of pregnancy with her first baby, and she had the baby at the hospital where she and my dad were working. So she was embarrassed to get into the delivery room and realize that she knew every single person there. She was even less pleased when the doctor said she was a couple of hours away from serious labor, and he, my dad, and the intern set up a poker game on the other bed in the room.

I will admit, we folk in the medical field are some sadistic bastards.
One day I took lunch orders as we were coding someone. Chest compressions. “Hey, we’re getting Subway, what does everyone want?” type of stuff. We have to talk about all that stuff and makes jokes, or else we’d all kill ourselves in the parking lot before we got home.

My aunt keeps trying to die. She's pissed it's not happening.
Twice she has been close to death. Now she’s setting up, eating soup and bitching at people. Dr. Asshole’s response: “What the fuck?”

All I know is this lounge just joined AARP and pulled it's pants up to it's nipples.
But seriously, folks....
My Disabled Person Placard just arrived.
I’ve started to carve my false teeth.

given how sensitive the users are to past actions taken, you'd think the powers at be would be more concerned about appearances. i guess i'm wrong.

That's a shame, dan.
We can’t repair the relationships until it happens. I do appreciate everyone’s efforts behind the scenes, to resolve this. I know you, iglew, Bloomie, BBG, and others, have been working hard to make it happen.

I’ve just hit my breaking point, I think. Not sure how much I’ll be involved in non-Lounge AN from here on out.
This
dan, elcroata, and so many others have done a great service in spreading their knowledge to those of us who don’t know the nuances.

If I had to pick one thing that I wanted to do when I started at the front page, it was to bring knowledge from the “inner stat circle” (fangraphs, THT, Tango, etc) to a more mainstream audience.
You take complicated ideas and make them easier to understand.
That makes you a successful writer.
But seriously, folks....
Exactly. I lot of us aren't stupid, we just don't have the knowledge/education to analyze the way you can.

I went into a gift shop yesterday, looking for a card for my 3-year-old niece
I’d always felt sorry for the people who owned it as I passed it by — selling greeting cards, ceramic figurines, and scented soaps doesn’t seem like a recipe for success when there are chain stores selling the same stuff and much more within a few blocks. Then once I got inside, I felt less guilty as the clerk barely acknowledged me when I came up to the register. However, I digress. Among the pomegranate soaps and Precious Moments, there was a shelf of gifts for the sports fan with mugs and shot glasses for all the local teams, and Holy Toledo, a dusty pile of six or seven Bill King bottle openers. I would have told the clerk she should put them in the front window with a sign “AS HEARD IN THE HIT MOVIE MONEYBALL”, if she hadn’t ignored me.

At the Movies with Miss Hawaii and Bed recommends Blackthorn with Sam Shepard.
Interesting western with some great cinematography.
But seriously, folks....
The best western I've seen lately, was Crossfire Trail.

Sam Sheppard is an awesome actor. I'll put Blackthorn on my list.

I really don't know but it seems obvious to me something has to happen.
I don’t believe anything that is being put out there right now and the jokey attitude doesn’t help.
But seriously, folks....
It's too late to save AN. It was too late as soon as SBN started.
It’s not too late to save the lounge community.
You know where to go and what to do. Plus, you can change your name whenever you want from the admin panel without having to start a new account.
There are only 13 heterositeual AN loungers left. You’re an endangered breed in this country.

Get out the time-fracture wickets, Hobbes! We're gonna play Calvinball!
Other things to do in a hole
Take a nap, eat worms, try to climb out, think about how to bring peace to the Middle East, do the Dougie and think about meta on AN.
But seriously, folks....
I'd like to make a request that a new Lounge be put up as soon as it's convenient for someone to do so.
This thing is pretty full.
But seriously, folks....
I have a fun day at the dentist tomorrow....she's going to sand my wood dentures for me.

I liked it more the second time I saw it.
One thing is for sure I know now not to draft a player if his girlfriend is only a 6.
But seriously, folks....
I've only seen it once and need to see it again to really figure out how I feel about it.
Honestly, after one viewing, I didn’t quite see why critics were drooling all over it. But I saw something (in the Chronicle, maybe?) that said that those who enjoyed the movie the most were those who knew the least about baseball/the actual stuff that happened. Probably not always the case, but seems to be consistent with my experience.

I love it because the Coliseum is like my significant other and it brings up all the feelings of baseball and the A's that I want to bottle up and wear like perfume so I never have to feel alone again.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
I missed the last "a" the first time I read this.
I was going to say “wow, I missed quite the something on my first viewing”

Ha!.....yeah if the player is dating a 6 year old I'm passing on drafting him.
But seriously, folks....

yeah, maybe not.
But I definitely will watch it! :D
