  1. I made myself look up "obsequious" because of the They Might Be Giants song "Turn Around." I was working all night in my office When a man I had recently killed Called me up from a phone near my building So I looked out the window at him He had the same obsequious manner That was the reason I had him killed So to calm my nerves I sang this song To him, over the phone [etc.]
  2. Monday afternoon and I need to get some work done ... call in the shuffler.

  3. I think Excitable Boy and Stand In The Fire have been up on Oink for a while in FLAC.
  4. ...and a fat lot of good that's doing me. Contreras. Damn. I suppose Lowe can still right the ship and not have such a bad day. Webb better be sharp tonight.
  5. That's the first f*cking thing that came to my mind. OK, I remember that now. But only with the help of Google.
  6. Probably wasn't me, because I'm not entirely sure who Rod Allen is. Tigers announcer? The thing is, I find Harrelson to be less of a homer than a lot of announcers. Sure, he cheers for the White Sox -- I expect him to, as I expect all team announcers to cheer for their teams. But Hawk is no idiot -- when the replay shows that the play was not in the Sox' favor, he says so, consistently. Close plays at the plate or a base, balls and strikes, whatever -- he's the first one to speak up, even when it's to the Sox' detriment. He also doesn't seem to have any qualms about questioning moves made b
  7. Your English Skills: Grammar: 100% Punctuation: 100% Spelling: 100% Vocabulary: 80% Does Your English Cut the Mustard? http://www.blogthings.com/doesyourenglishcutthemustardquiz/ I blew one of the vocab questions. Apparently I've been using "ponderous" wrong.
  8. I've never minded him. I sort of understand why others don't like him, but to me he's just another announcer. Do I get tired of his catchphrases? Yep. Do they bother me all that much? Nope.
  9. My first game was around this same time, though it was at Comiskey, not Fenway. Wilbur Wood may have pitched (I know I saw him pitch at least once). Now I want to dig into my parents' files and see if they kept all those old '70s White Sox programs -- I'd love to know which games I saw back then.
  10. To me, no one will every match the fucknuttery of Bill Walton. The man is a total moron, completely insane, and he feels he needs to talk all the time. I hate him so much that I hate his whole family (I'm talking to you, Luke).
  11. I don't like Morgan, but he's hardly the worst of the sports analysts out there *cough*billwalton*cough*
  12. I have Carpenter in teh VC league. He'll recover. Rolen went 0-3 for me last night. Today I have Brandon Webb, Derek Lowe, and Jose Contreras on the mound. Yes, I have four opening-day starters on my roster.
  13. I'm totally telling your mom.
  14. That post was a cry for help. Won't somebody help him? ...'cause it ain't gonna be me.
  15. I actually wondered if it was you. And just to be clear, I GLP.
  16. It's just a South Beach Diet recipe, so I'm sure you could find a better marinade if you're not concerned with such things. It's pretty good, though. I love me some balsamic vinegar.
  17. Bob Avellini Roland Harper Brian Baschnagel Revie Sorey Doug Plank
  18. I'm surprised they ever debuted anywhere near the top 10, honestly. And if they crack it this time, I'll be surprised again. Exactly. It's not the CDs that make money for those guys ... it's the concert receipts.
  19. Currently have a marinated flank steak broiling in the oven.
