  1. Thanks for all the site suggestions everyone! Now, next year in my fantasy league I might even place as high as FIFTH!!!1!
  2. Where do all of you get your internet baseball info? I've been an ESPN.com guy forever, but I'm really sick of every story being an "Insider" article that you have to pay to be a member to be able to read. What's a good, free alternative?
  3. The list's write-up of March 16-20 by Uncle Tupelo includes this: ...and Jay Farrar went on to form Son Volt? Maybe about 9 more words could have been squeezed in? Also, why is UT put into bands that begin with T?
  4. From jonsonblog. (To see the links in the story, use the link above.) New Pornographers Fans Are Clever November 21, 2007 So, the Greatest Canadian Band of All Time (Category: More Than 3 Members*), Vancouver
  5. I don't really have anything constructive to add to this discussion, but while I'm typing this I'm sneering, gyrating and making absurd faces just like Regine.
  6. Honestly, the last few times I've been to In-n-Out I've been sorely disappointed. I think the patties are shrinking. They definitely don't hang out over the bun like they do in that pic.
  7. Arbys Jamocha shake > all other fast food everything else at Arbys sucks ass, though.
  8. Of course the surge is working. All the violence has shifted to northern Iraq. Besides, no matter how long we stay it doesn't matter - as soon as we leave that place will make Afghanistan's Taliban days look like the friggin' Boy Scout Jamboree.
  9. Here's my $.02 that was included in this morning's LA Times sports page letters section: The tale of the tape on Barry Bonds was probably the most eye-opening piece of information I've seen on this topic yet. Especially the rather astonishing and mind-boggling fact that his shoe size increased . . . 2 1/2 sizes in his 30s! To paraphrase Johnnie Cochran, "If the shoe doesn't fit, you can't acquit!" Ken Kinsley Sherman Oaks ...and yes, his feet GREW from a 10.5 to a 13 - since 1999. That in and of itself is sufficient evidence of HGH usage.
  10. Hmmm. Good analogy. Maybe his show will get moved from CNN over to a new cable channel called 'Watch Larry King's Rotting Corpse 24/7.' At least the questioning would improve.
  11. One or two quick jabs at Larry would have been fine, but his ego did rather get in the way. Is Larry retiring soon or is he getting 'cancelled?'
  12. Ever since I was a kid I've hated apricots. (Stick with me, there is a point eventually.) But every summer when they're nice and ripe and in season I try them. Why? Because I've always figured 'there's nothing wrong with the humble yet noble apricot, it must be me that has the problem and I must keep trying them until I like them.' Oh, sure, I like apricot jam and dried apricots, but raw, unadulterated apricots - I can't explain it, I just hate them. Fast forward to the present. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, that I know and whose musical opinion I respect adores Arcade Fire. I've never seen
  13. For some reason I thought you meant Orlando Cabrera at first. Miguel makes a lot more sense, but that scenario is a total non-starter. You can have LaRoche and maaaaaybe Billingsley, but no way in hell is Kemp going anywhere. How about Ethier? Sheesh, I'm talking like I'm making a fantasy league trade!
  14. Back in HS I went to an Angels game with a bunch of friends and a few of us called in one of those messages to f' with some of our friends who were going with us. "Happy Anniversary Mike and Mark" or something like that. Good, clean, mid-80's, South Orange County homophobic fun. Ah, good times.
  15. The thing that cracks me up about the "Hillary is a lesbian" talk is that it's usually from the same people who thought Bill should have been impeached for having an affair.* So, if Hill's gay then who could really blame Bill for trying to get a little sauce on the side. If you must, be angry about one or the other, but not both. * Yeah, I know, he was impeached for lying about the affair. Well, what else does one do when having an affair?
  16. I can't believe that none of you that went mentioned Donald Judd and the Chinati Foundation. It's one of the best collections of minimalist contemporary art in the world on an old, decomissioned army base. I haven't been there, but would love to. If another show there really is in the works I highly highy recommend you go. And if anyone wants to do a B&P or trade for this, I'd more than appreciate it.
  17. So, I set the TiVo to record it, which it does. Fortunately I checked in on it while it was in the middle of recording and discovered that I don't get DirecTV ch. 384, and was in fact recording what appeared to be a silent moonless night as observed by a blind deaf mute. Not to worry, we get another feed on a local affiliate of PBS that is airing ACL later on on that same night. So, this afternoon I call it up from the TiVo and what am I greeted with? A 7 minute video with an update on the Los Angeles Unified School District's payroll problems. Being an LAUSD employee, this may actually int
  18. Whom, I believe, is Michael Wilson - head chef at Wilson. Barbara, his mom, is the inspiration for the song Barbara Ann. Of course, being a rock star and all, Dennis may have put more than one young lady into a family way.
  19. Those in favor always argue that it's the only way to get info out of terrorists that could potentially stop another terrorist attack. Too bad they didn't stop to think that maybe if we didn't do shit like waterboarding, people might actually offer up info about terrorists willingly and not want to become terrorists in the first place. If we're trying to take the moral high-ground and claim to be the good guys, we have to act like the good guys.
  20. Where is the Wilco pictue from? That's hilarious! Not very rock 'n' roll, but here's the Microsoft company picture from 1978.
  21. I don't know who wins (I'd of course say Wilco) but I'd love to see a two stages right next to each other, you play a song then I'll play a song, battle of the bands. I'd say the winner would clearly be... the audience!
