wpdunn – What did they do to you. . .besides crack your rib cage?
Master Chief, its pre-cracked – CABbage in 07, that they did was reopen the Kelough scar and put a experimental monitoring unit for remote management and EMS
Harry Reid is a fucking idiot. But then again, you knew this.
ouch WPD
sup, my caucasians? And tushar.
Hey, all you more mature types (glances at everyone who’s chimed in on this thread so far), Harry Reid says we Sr Citizens enjoy getting junk mail because it’s the only way we feel like we’re still part of society. I tweeted to him what I thought about his comment. You should too.
I would give my right nut to end the goddamn junk mail, in the mailbox and the ether. So goddamn annoying.
Is Cyn around? I found something in the mailbox and I have a bone to pick with her.
Evenin’
Reid is either a out of touch, mental defective with Alzheimer’s
or he is an arrogant fuck tard with Alzheimer’s
I saw that comment of Reid’s. It was hilarious.
By all means, let’s keep the postal service in business to deliver junk mail because jobs.
I love junk mail. It keeps me going.
Is Cyn around? I found something in the mailbox and I have a bone to pick with her.
Another iPad?
After the last hilarious fun-filled adventure I just had with the Post Office, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to use a shipper that employs a real tracking system (as opposed to the make-believe one the USPS pretends to have, tee hee!), or who can send messages from one terminal to another to correct routing issues (as opposed to the USPS strict ‘no service’ policy, wheeee!), or which answers claims promptly (as opposed to the USPS, which makes you wait several months before you can file a loss claim, because it frequently takes that long for lost property to shake out of their fucked up system).
I fired them twelve years ago for a reason. Recently needed to be reminded in the most stressful way possible, apparently.

Result from dinner tonight: beet greens are too much like collards to be edible. Don’t care if it’s a five star recipe, gross.
Did anybody stifle anybody else’s creativity today?
Drive-by comment; it’s been a busy day….
Howdy, all!
The little beet greens are nice in salad Romy. The beeg ones are only for people who enjoy boiling a mess of greens for an hour for Spring tonic.
Spring tonic is not family-friendly, lol
hello Trese, greetings to her majesty!
My mom does this thing with boiled dandelion greens…God help me, I tried it again last Summer and that time it tasted delicious.
My parents looooooooved collards and turnip greens. I don’t. Don’t like cooked spinach, either, but will eat that raw.
Dare I ask what spring tonic is? Sounds like moonshine.
*ties little old Italian lady polyester scarf over hair*
*applies cold cream and Jean-Nate splash*
‘Sup, douche nozzles and hawt chicks?
If I gotta choice between eating bacon or eating weeds, it’s not a difficult decision.
A Spring tonic is when the old folks tear green shit out of the lawn and act all excited like they’ve captured some great prize, then boil the fuck out of it and eat the greens and drink the green water.
Speaking of which, I haven’t seen a single fiddlehead this Spring.
Too dry, maybe?
dandelions must be different everywhere else. Here they have spines, and teefes.
No, wait, that’s Russian thistle
“Woof! Woof!”
“Looks like meat’s back on the menu boys!”
*ties little old Italian lady polyester scarf over hair*
*applies cold cream and Jean-Nate splash*
Mom?
My thistle got zapped by the Scotts lawncare guy today.
I think he also zapped some clover.
If I’m going to eat greens, it’s going to be mustard greens
MCPO, you gotta grow Osaka Purple in your garden this year! Delicious young and raw. Great wrapper for meats.
“Woof! Woof!”
“Looks like meat’s back on the menu boys!”
Didn’t you hear? We’re not talking about that anymore. Now, it’s all about how MITT ROMNEY H8S TEH HOME MADE COOKIES!!!!
MITT ROMNEY H8S TEH HOME MADE COOKIES!!!!
Yeah, talk about a ginned-up load of cow manure. . .
I love those tweets:
“Mitt ate a snickerdoodle.
Obama ate a Labradoodle!”
>> MCPO, you gotta grow Osaka Purple in your garden this year!
You might wanna use a patch away from the house if you don’t want the cops all on your ass.
Mitt ate an oatmeal raisun.
Obama ate an Oatmeal Lab!
The only thing that satisfies after Osaka Purple is Grandma’s-brand of Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. And Doritios.
Hah Dave!
It’s a pain in the ass sneaking over to water that inconspicuous patch in my neighbor’s yard right after dusk.
I’m not allowed to have Osaka Purple anymore. Not even on weekends.
Uh oh, rainy and miserable in the eagle’s nest. Poor things…though the eaglets now have their whatseewhosit feathers. Mom is drenched, babies huddled as close to her as possible.

Hi Beasn!
Hi Vman
You weren’t around when I told about them auctioning two yellow lab pups at the charity auction I attended. $1500 apiece. Cute as bugs and skeert.
What is osaka purple and why doesn’t Romney eat dog cookies?
*passes the bong to lauraw*
Lab pups are too cute
Cute as bugs and skeert.
Obama won the auction?
Obama won the auction?
Har! No, people were only allowed to bring their own money.
Touche’ Sean
I asked one of the ladies who ‘won’ one if she was prepared for such a thing when she came to the auction. She said she had to put her dog down last year, so when these little fuzzballs came up, she had to have one.
I wanted to pet his little nosie, but he looked scared and tired (the mic was too dang loud), so I just touched a paw. He was a sweetheart and his name was going to be ‘Otis’.
*exhales*
Osaka Purple is a kind of mustard. Japanese. Crispy, succulent young leaves, with a horseradish-like heat. Great added in salads and thickly laid on roast beef sangweeches.
*inhales*
Meeting time. The fire extinguisher is on the kitchen counter.
Crispy, succulent young leaves,
sounds good, but that is where you lost me. My intes-tines do not like leafy material of any kind.
Careful not to spill, Laura. Bong water is reeeeally hard to wash out. I heard.
LauraW – Herself seems quite intrigued with your suggestion of faux-Nipponese greens.
hey laura, you like football?
Then PASS that thing.
*spots Cyn*
I have two words for you. I love you. And thank you.
*smooches you full onna mouf*
Awww, I loves you too, Dave. You’re welcome.
*quick spits out the garlic clove I was chewing on for teh smooches*
And your counting sucks after a bong hit or two. Just an observation.
I love collard and mustard greens. Gotta cook ‘em with a hamhock.
wait.. one.. two.. thre.. hey are those Doritos?
a black lab pup, one of my faves..

DiT,
He’s a cutie!
I read that as “hammock”.
*falls over laughing, bonks head on coffee table, laughs some more*
Okansas Purple is AWESOME!
Wow, he’s almost 2 years old now, Dave. What a sweet looking boy.
Beasn’s talking about eagle chicks. I’m telling Mom!
Scritch* scritch* what a cutie pie.
He’s a monstah now.
Eldest is taking him to a training class called “Calm Down.”
But she and I call it “Calm the F*#k Down”
“Black” Lab.
Raaaacist.

Bach Flower “Rescue Remedy” for Pets

This shit just works to Calm the F*#k Down. I have to use it on Sparky when I leave him home alone. It does a nice job with the separation anxiety.
This company makes it for people too and it will Calm you the F*#k Down. Good for heading into scary doctor or dentist appointments or just for the hell of it.
We get it at Sprouts.
*waits for check in the mail from Sprouts*
Cyn, does it come in Okansas Purple?
I just checked and no. Bastages.
*peers through beady eyes at bong water and rubs chin thoughtfully*
O RLY?

Shower time and late boy pick up from a play. Catch you miscreants on the flip side or so.
Yeah, really. You have to play with the dosage a bit, Dave. The box says 4 drops. With Sparky at about 70 pounds, I have honed it to 4 drops one hour before I leave and 2 or 3 drops about 15 minutes before I leave, depending on how long I’ll be gone.
thanks! and also, thanks!

I am out
Revvy Check Facechimp I want to talk.
Night All!
Blackened, therefore Cajun.
My dog is snoring and apparently dreaming about chasing a bear. Lots of twitch-running and canine muttering. He’s kicking all kinds of ass, in his mind.
Or having a seizure.
Sleep time.

Moses does that. Mebbe squirrels.
My girls were chasing a road runner at the park today.
Personally, I think it’s a lot easier to shoot rabbits and squirrels.
Though I guess I can see where giving a prissy blue heeler a loaded gun isn’t the best idea.

I’m pretty sure Laura wasn’t laughing at anything I posted, just bursting into maniacal cackles.
G’night, holes of fuque!
don’t sell yourself short
dave sleeps with the dog bones.
what a great game.
Yankees give up 4 runs in the 1st inning, but then come back to eventaully win the game 7-6. Curtis Granderson went 5 for 5 with 3 home runs.
Awesome, awesome game.
And so much better watching the game with a couple of Twins fans.
heh heh heh
Granderson is my nephew’s favorite player, from his time in Detroit. He was sad when he went to the Yankees.
Too bad he didn’t go to the Cardinals.
Wiser, I really, really, really want the Yankees to win tomorrow. See what you can do. KTHX.
Jay, I really don’t have a problem with Granderson not being a Cardinal. I was getting updates on my phone at work and my depressed Reds fan post from earlier was just after the Cards scored.
Wiser, I really, really, really want the Yankees to win tomorrow.
I’M ON IT, BABY! Just for you.
Meh, you guys scored today. It’ll catch on.
Probably when you fire Dusty Baker.
best part was when Grandy got his 5th hit, which was definitely a cheap one. Twins fan looks at me and says “Guess you take ‘em anyway you can get them, huh?”
I laughed and said “well, it wasn’t a home run, so yeah, little disappointing…”
He was also bragging about how the one home run that the Twins got went further than any of Granderson’s. I said “Yannow, once they cross over that wall out there, I really don’t care how far they go after that.”
Thanks, Wiser! Jay, I despise Dusty Baker. What were the Reds thinking? We’ll get the Dodger that couldn’t win in SF or Chicago. He’s Bucky Showalter to me. Grrrr
keep in mind, I’m a huge Jocketty fan. Best GM in baseball for mid market teams.
Thanks, Wiser!
wiser ♥ crazybear
just paused on the game again on Yankees Encore and yep, Granderson just went yard. Again.
Guess the chances of me stumbling on him hitting a home run was pretty good tonight.
Oh, wait… Tex is up…. Maybe he’ll hit a home run too!
Well, whaddya know about that??!
I’ll keep that in mind. I just can’t see winning a WS with Dusty. Wiser, I never thought of the Twins at all until I had to put up with Minnesotans at work. They are in the middle tier of teams I don’t like.
I find internets waiting in a parking lot and there’s baseball talk. Pfft.
Baseball been berry berry good to me…
I always loved that bit.
Wiser, I never thought of the Twins at all until I had to put up with Minnesotans at work.
Their big-gun starting pitcher is Carl Pavano, former Yankee and originally from very next town over from me.
He is also dealing with a very, very, VERY close high school buddy trying to blackmail him over releasing the details of the closeness of their relationship.
Twins fan started making comments about how Yankees fans were gay.
I said “Are you really sure you want to go there? Really?”
He stopped right quick.
Me too.
Laptop batt dying… carry on kids.
Wiser, NTTAWWT. I guess you could have been spitting sunflower seeds in a suggestive manner like Dave Concepcion.

Oh… wait… you think he could have if he was awake?

I wonder what hap… oh, there it goes…..
Hahaha.
hehehe, upper deck. Forgot that. I’ll be sure to remind Twins fan of that tomorrow.
Twins fans can never get too many reminders.
Does Andy count as a Red Sox fan or does he go to games for geographical reasons?
Does Andy count as a Red Sox fan or does he go to games for geographical reasons?
Big time fan.
Still love the guy though. Even shared a room with him in STL. A room in which he ended up, for some strange reason getting extremely sick….
Now, someone of a more conspiracy mind might try to find a connection here….
But I assure you, none exists.
Personally, in my opinion, I think it was Lauraw’s early morning phone call that interrupted his sleep and dramatically reduced his immune system that did him in.
They play this at the stadium after every strikeout:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNXIZAUhTOw
Twins fan was botching about how it was in his brain and it wouldn’t get out.
I jokingly told him I was going to have everyone at the music store (Twins fan owns music store) make that their cell phone ringtone.
But what I’m really gonna do is write that music down and transpose it for every intrument in our band (Twins fan is also conductor of our band) and have them play it randomly as their warm-up music.
heh heh heh
I thought of that in the car onthe way home. It’s gonna drive him insane. And I am gonna laugh my ass off.
Make it the intro music to your interviews…
Make it the intro music to your interviews…
I’m just gonna randomly whistle it occasionally
I almost told him about my idea to give everyone in the band that music, but then I thought “I work in a music store…. I can do this!”
so I just smiled and changed the subject
Thanks for the heads up on Andy. I was starting to think I didn’t know any Red Sox fans.
OH LOOK! Grandy is up again!
well, let’s see what happens this ti… oops, there it goes again!
One of my Yankee friends likes to post Frank singing New York, New York on other friends FB walls when the Yanks win. Another friend has Andy Pettite pics up from the other day. Hahaha the Grandy stuff never gets old!
I was starting to think I didn’t know any Red Sox fans.
Andy is one of the good ones.
A guy and his son came to the game tonight wearing Red Sox jerseys and caps…..
why?
And then they rooted loudly for the Twins.
why?
I know why. Because as bad as people think Yankee fans are (my Twins fan friends admitted tonight that yes, they were treated very well by Yankee fans, even though they were wearing Twins stuff), they actually are very polite.
Most Red Sox fans are obnoxious in the extreme, as proven by the douche and his son, who practically danced in front of everyone when it looked like the Twins were going to crush the Yankees (after scoring 4 runs in the 1st inning)
You guys talkin’ baseball?
*shoots self in the face*
One of my Yankee friends likes to post Frank singing New York, New York on other friends FB walls when the Yanks win.
hey, why not? It’s a great version of the song and should be enjoyed by all.
as often as possible.
*shoots self in the face*
Angels fan?
I have never been to a ball game where there wasn’t a Red Sox fan acting like a douche. “A” ball in Kissimmee: douchey Red Sox fan. Every single venue that I have attended a game…NL, AL, Spring Training, doesn’t matter. The fact that they are Patriots fans too gravy.
Driving home from game tonight, got behind a car in the center lane doing about 45mph.
As I passed HER I looked over and saw that SHE was writing a letter on the center of steering wheel.
I really should have just run her off the road when I saw that.
I always liked the Angels when Gene Autry was the owner. Not a fan of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The fact that they are Patriots fans too gravy.
I tell this story all the time, but it is truly indicative of Red Sox fans.
The Patriots win their first Super Bowl. They hold a parade for them in Boston.
The Patriots fans chant “YANKEES SUCK!”
We haven’t won a series yet and Pujols has hit some nice doubles, but we’re not paying him a fortune to find the top of the fence once every few games. Oh, and speaking of big money, Dish Network and Fox Sports aren’t exactly on the same page as far as the new (and lucrative for the team) teevee contract goes, so I don’t even get to watch them lose half the time.
WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!
We used to see people reading books on I25 between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Lately, eReaders seem to be the entertainment of choice on the trek. So many drunks out here, you never know the cause of the weaving until you pass them.
Eli beating the Patriots has almost made a Giants fan of me. Almost.

It’s so much fun being a fan of a team that everyone hates.

My nephew had to go full retard to get Pujols to sign an Angels cap at Spring Training. My brother was calling his own kid Simple Jack.

Oh, and twins fan was bitching that the YES network only shows “classic” games where the Yankees win….
um……..
d’uh?
‘k, gotta be up in 6 hours. g’night, y’all.
I actually hate the Cowboys and Redskins more than the Giants. Never thought of the Giants at all. Grew up a Chiefs fan. Bobby Bell was my first football card. Wrote him and Jim Tyrer letters and got stock photos and letters back. I was 5 and I’ve been a fan ever since.
G’night.
I am more or less indifferent to the NFL, though I do root for bad things to happen to Raiders fans.
Sean, me too. My mother and brother are Raider fans. They won’t even go to Oakland to watch a game. We weren’t allowed to “profile” at Target. 9 out of 10 pictures that Asset Protection showed us, the suspects were wearing Raider gear. I asked why we didn’t just watch every customer in Raider gear. “That would be profiling.” *Facepalm*
I’m glad it’s not just me. Anyway, it’s past my derptime. Goodnight.
Yay, we have a derp. can’t go to sleep without it! Well, I have been asleep, then woke up to baseball talk, now back to bed.
wakey wakey

It is NOT natural to run ten miles. Your joints/muscles will tell you so. If it feels good do it. But you are not necessarily elevating your health because of it.
Yea, no. I’m not trying to elevate my “health.” I just want to do half marathons, and a Tough Mudder, etc.
As for damage when running – I really do believe that a lot of the damage is from bad form.WHen I ran in regular -traditional – running shoes – my body TOLD me it was bad. I kept stopping and restarting, hoping THIS time it would be ok. Switching to minimal shoes was tricky, and a lot of the injury was a result of that. I had classic injuries that accompany the switch.
Now? I can run 8 miles and feel perfectly fine. and i’m not young. My grandma had bad knees by this age, and she did the damaging sports of golf and swimming.
I hate blue jays

Who’s ready for a soccer story?
Who’s ready for a soccer story?
Wow, lookathat, almost work time.
Soccer? That’s after appliances and recipes.
Blue Jay! bbl
bastards. It’s really a kid story, cloaked in soccer.
Or, Erin’s one soccer coach is a jerk story
*waits for Mare
I’ll listen, Carin.
*sips coffee and looks interested
Eh. Short story. Her assistant coach is a jerk. Put her on defense for the entire first half – she’s not so good at that position. HIS daughter (overweight and a very weak player) play Erin’s position the entire game. 0-0 at half.
Put’s Erin in at start of second half, and she played awesome. Gave her team mates a bunch of scoring opportunities- she’s a great passer and her strength is setting up offensive plays. Other girls may be faster, or better ball skillz, but she gets them playing the passing game. She doesn’t play kickball, so they know she’ll pass, and is good to pass to.
Anyway.
Finally, Erin scores the ONE goal of the night for her team.
Coach takes her out.
She sits on the sidelines for a while, and the other team scores. Now 1-1. He puts her back in.
On defense.

I’m having moments of feeling pretty good about this casu marzu.
High school athletics is a hive of nepotism and poor strategy.
She’s not in high school. She’s in 6th grade.
I stand by my statement. Your story is now even less surprising, though. That crap happened in my 6-8yo softball league. On the plus side, my coach’s kid was a natural athlete.
The travel team isn’t part of a school, but her MAIN coach (not the one who coached last night) is the girls coach at the high school. He always plays her at midfield, but this coach subs for her and he always pulls this shit.
To put on my Mama Bear suit – as my husband put it last night – Erin is the team’s darling. Everyone loves her because she’s a good player, who works hard, but sweet and VERY modest about her abilities. The parents like her, she’s always smiling, etc.
Mr Car In says that’s why this one coach (dad) doesn’t like her. Because his daughter is lazy and sullen.

Plausible.
I just read this http://pjmedia.com/blog/breaking-without-warning-fbi-halts-intel-sharing/?singlepage=true
And on a very personal level, I want to know WTF is going on that they shut this down.
Well, she’s having a great childhood and she’s going to have a brilliant life.
*pats Carin on the hand
LOL. Yea, it’s all just silly stuff that bugs me. My funny child last night (Ethan) said I should star in a new show – “Soccer Moms” – lol.
It’s funny, though, because you get pissed because you’re spending money and time – and then these asses (coaches with children on the team) figure they can use it all to … make their child a star. As if I paid for Erin to play indoor so his daughter could be a midfielder.
Honestly, his daughter is BAD. Another PITA coach/dad (he’s part of the soccer association, and his daughter in on the team as well) said they’re trying to get her off the team.
There is really no way the girl should have passed the tryout for the team.
I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE

Naw. I’m ok now. I got it out of my system.
Who would have thought soccer would kill a thread?
I’m flummoxed.
Howdy Hostages
HI VMAN.
Bu-bye Hostages. Time for work.
Soccer sucks that is why.
*puts on barefoot shoes and starts running towards Florida.
Car in, were you that little girl that got benched after scoring a goal? It’s ok. You can tell us.
Not me. I sucked at any sport that involved a ball. I didn’t participate in any organized sports until high school, and I won enough events at my first first track meet that I earned my Varsity Letter right then as a freshman . I also was BEGGED to join the cheerleading squad and gymnastics team. I did the cheerleading gig for one year, but couldn’t stand the bitchiness, and was captain of both the track team and gymnastics team my sr year.
An angry soccer mom?
*grabs a microscope and some tweezers* We must study her!
Soccer is what Europeans do when there is no electricity.
I was athletic, but I sucked at “sports.” Never had any illusions about that – lol – and preferred to avoid the whole thing.
The Dem machine at work, down at the congressional level:
My name is Ron Barber, and I’m the Democrat running in the special election in the district that my friend Gabby Giffords represented in Arizona.
The next 48 hours are critical — Tea Party Republican Jesse Kelly was nominated by Republicans on Tuesday to run against me in the special election.
Kelly is the same Tea Party candidate who came so close to defeating Gabby in 2010. He’s back with his plans to destroy Social Security and end Medicare. He’d even abolish the minimum wage.
See, it’s not just the presidential race. Go Team Kelly!
Good morning, good people!
Ha. I’m bitching about the soccer dealo to my (lib) friends on facebook. One just wrote that she didn’t see the relevance of the girl who played Erin’s position being out of shape.
Yea, what could being out of shape POSSIBLY have to do with playing soccer on a travel team? What beef could I possibly have with Erin’s position being played by the coaches daughter who can’t even run across the field w/o needing a rest.
Morning Mare.
I may have to go kill some weeds.
she obviously needs the exercise more
*big picture Dave*
Killing weeds is good exercise.
Not for the weeds, though.
“One just wrote that she didn’t see the relevance of the girl who played Erin’s position being out of shape.”
That’s ridiculous. Her “everyone wins a trophy” is showing.
Soccer is one of many sports where a fat kid just can’t keep up.
(Dear Hostages spare me the stories of the ONE fat kid you know that overcame.)
LOL, Yea, I told her Mare that it was a travel team where you didn’t get a ribbon for participating.
I like to watch college baseball and softball, there was a girl on the Georgia team who was obese. She was a big hitter. I’m guessing they used a designated runner. However, she did find her niche and good for her. Probably got a scholarship. While I was watching she struck out.
There is one girl -another coaches kid – @@ – who plays sweeper and she is pretty good. BUt she needs to run or something.
She plays the ENTIRE game – and last night the score against us was her fault because – to me – she looked tired.
She got totally spanked. SHe should have had it.
My kids love team sports too, Carin, If I had it all to do over again I’d encourage them to seek out individual (less coach and other parent influence) sports, tennis, track and field, etc.. I don’t think they would have gone for it though.
You know, kids are good at what they’re good at. Everyone may make fun of soccer, but my kids are good at it. So they can all suck it.
Harry Reid is certifiable. Junk mail? Really? Their only link to the outside world?
Has this idiot ever heard of a TV? Computer? Skype? Radio?
Mare, why do you make me look for the stories?
bah haaa haa haa … what an idiot.
I imagine there’s a great deal of tension between needing to win games, and needing it be a fun learning/ growing experience for all the players.
Can a coach really put the star player in the same position where s/he shines all the time without neglecting or gypping the other kids? Is it normal for the kids to get rotated around to different positions or is that a weird coaching style? I really don’t know.
And of course, adults are often dumbasses who try to force their kids to do stuff they like, that the kids don’t really excel at.
I was a baseball jock in HS. I was in shape and had a rocket launcher for a right arm. Life was good then
And of course, adults are often dumbasses who try to force their kids to do stuff they like, that the kids don’t really excel at.
THIS +10,000,000
They are weeded out by the time high school starts, though, thank goodness.
I loved baseball in HS, too, vmax, and was pretty good at it. Still like it a lot.
Bet y’all couldn’t tell!
Laura, certain leagues are designed for winning (very tough competition). The ultimate goal the Junior Olympics. It’s a goal for the team. Money is invested (voluntarily) and travel time is spent. It’s not about everyone feeling good about themselves.
What you are referring to (fun learning/growing) are the YMCA leagues that most kids can’t wait to move on from.
“And of course, adults are often dumbasses who try to force their kids to do stuff they like, that the kids don’t really excel at.”
That’s for sure.
I understand the need – at this level- to rotate players around. But Erin was pretty much 1 of the 3 kids rotated. If it’s not happening to the other kids, I see an agenda. The coaches daughter didn’t get rotated. Other kids didn’t get rotated.
The game is 50 min long and he played midfield (her reg position) for 7 minuets.
Morning, Goodies
Ah, then, well, in this case it’s time to put bars of soap in a pillowcase and wait in the shadows.
I’m popping back periodically to this article- http://zombietime.com/teaching_as_a_subversive_activity/
From ONT last night…oh, the things liberals say when they know they’re alone.
And, midfield isn’t really considered the “star” position. They can score, but their basic job is to move the ball up the field and get it in scoring position. They are not “the forward.”
There can be stars in any position, really. Kids should be place where they’re GOOD. Erin is a good midfielder because she’s athletic – can run all day – and has a great passing game.
Defensively, the “sweeper” is the star position. That’s another coache’s daughter – the one who let that goal in yesterday. Because she was tired and had been played the entire game.
Ah, then, well, in this case it’s time to put bars of soap in a pillowcase and wait in the shadows.
That’s why I lurv you Lauraw.
I love you too, pumpkin. But you don’t need to praise me for pointing out the only natural course of action that remains.
The sweeper girl – she went out of last Sunday’s game – with no one ever prepared to fill for her or do corner kicks, etc, because she always plays the entire game.
Everyone thought she was injured.
No, she was -apparently – exhausted. She’s good at soccer, but also a bit out of shape.
What position did you play Jay?
“Ah, then, well, in this case it’s time to put bars of soap in a pillowcase and wait in the shadows.”
HAHA….Bingo!
I love you too, pumpkin. But you don’t need to praise me for pointing out the only natural course of action that remains
Oh I disagree. Those facebook folks told me to “have a meeting” and “talk to the coach.”
You don’t realize how horrible the advice is that I’m usually given.
Left and Center field, occasionally 2B and SS, and a short, failed run at catcher.
Mostly outfield, vmax.
Everyone likes meetings, Car in. Except sometimes they actually work. But everyone has to take part, and everyone has to be on the same page.
Meetings like that rarely happen.
Those facebook folks told me to “have a meeting” and “talk to the coach.”
What? I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of this guy’s screams for mercy.
Meetings are opportunities to have cookies.
I pitched, and played center field when not pitching. I could hit the plate from the fence no hops. I was not a long ball hitter, but I hit singles at will and had a decient batting average so I played alot.
You sound like one of the players on my team. His dad was our little league coach, and his brothers were every bit as good as he was. Not easy hitting a high 80′s fastball in HS.
His dad was an excellent coach, even though he was always drinking beer in the dugout. We won our sectional tournament (high school) for 22 straight years, and a lot of the players came through his teams. This was a town of 300 people. It was a pleasure to ride my bike a mile every day for practice/playing all day.
My how times have changed.
What? I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of this guy’s screams for mercy.
Try not to leave visible bruises.
Meetings are opportunities to have cookies.
And to hand out “participation” ribbons.
Cyn, if you’re around check your Vmail.
*checks email just in case
sigh
YOUR NOT MY REAL OLDER BROTHER!!
I’ll bet they are conspiring on a poat.
*checks email from MJ, gasps; wonders if any of these pics would be of interest to Leon for MMM*
MJ’s a tucker?
I cannot say whether he does or doesn’t tuck, but his adam’s apple is a bit smaller than some of the other MMM’s we’ve seen. Just sayin’.
MOTHER TUCKER!!
hehehe ill do a poat if asked, then you puny humans will know pain!
*plays Taps for poat
i guess i kilt it daid
Everyone kills a poat. It’s just some that are a lot better at it.
Right Car in?
tremble before me and know that i AM THE POAT KILLAH!
Naw. I’m ok now. I got it out of my system.
Exactly what “system” are you talking about?
#
Right Car in?

Don’t make me start talking about soccer again.
Maybe we should talk about chili.
To bean or not to bean, that is the question.
Of course there’s beans!
Or is it beasn?
Q- from white house Dossier :
Do you think there will be racial violence if Obama isn’t reelected?
*reads Car in’s sports stories, remembers why I did math and science competitions*
no bean, bacon and a shredded cheese topping
Do you think there will be racial violence if Obama isn’t reelected?
Don’t they mean “how much racial violence will there be?” It’s all in the framing of the leading question.
How long until this crappy poat is pushed down?
i think that the Obumbler-ites have a VERY distorted vue of their abilities to foment a coodinated and coherent attack
I’m glad we have Jay here to give us some perspective from the black community.
Important update added! Bubba’s return!
Yo, Michael. Sup.
I’m chillin’, bro.
what is up, homies?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6dTB4AqBmk&feature=youtu.be
Oh WP, that was lame. You should have said “wazzup.”
You know, every year we have “Talk Like A Pirate Day.”
Maybe we need a “Talk Like A Negro Day” to get people accustomed to the lingo.
Fo shizzle, Michael.
fo schinizzles mah brudder
remember Chigger day over at Ace’s?
Huh, I was mesmerized.
Good morning, clockwatchers.

I hear Pujols is moving up!
In the batting order, that is.
Dang, Jay might actually be one of the three black people in Ames.
Jay is black?
DAMN another dark person i am to fear!!!!!!!!
Jay is black?
Just look at my avatar!
J’ames isn’t really a black person. He just played one on tv.
Jay Jay dear boy (Whoops) i dont care if yer green
where is tushar when i screw up??
if its a consolation, i have a man crush on LTC West
Car in, here, have
some winea daiquiri.I hear Pujols is moving up!
In the batting order, that is.
I guess I hadn’t realized that Busch Stadium was built with little league dimensions.
Daiquiri’s are for underage girls.
I carded everyone who ordered one.
Well, you gotta have daiquiris on a tropical cruise.
Heh, did you ever make a REAL daiquiri for someone that ordered one, and watch the confusion on their face when you gave it to them? We had the blender version.
Day-Queeries are to serious booze like obama is to masculinity
Car In, can ya make a Boiler Maker?
Knew I’d find Michael slumming here. Hey Michael, you have a blog, you know!! It’s not like we’re overflowing with posts over there!
Damn retirees.
Heh, did you ever make a REAL daiquiri for someone that ordered one, and watch the confusion on their face when you gave it to them? We had the blender version
No, but I did occasionally inform the people – in Detroit – that it was impossible to order a Strawberry Daiquiri with Hennessy, because BY DEFINITION a daiquiri is a rum drink.
yes, I spent nights mixing congnac with strawberries and ice and blending it. Courvoisier and Remy too.
It was maddening.
I used to like daiquiris.
Before I learned how to drink.
WP – given that I have worked in every variety of bar there – yes – I can make a boilermaker. I can pour anything. I worked in college bars and city bars and clubs. Done it all.
I’ve only served a few boilermakers in my lifetimes. To some college kids who discovered what they were.
Strawberry Daiquiri with Hennessy
O_o
I always loved when people ordered black and tans. I got a cheap thrill making those.
Also, b-52s. Mine were beautiful.
Floating a bit of lightly whipped heavy cream on the b-52 – really makes it that much better.
I don’t think I ever had a daiquiri. Rum was the one thing I (literally) just couldn’t stomach.
I always loved when people ordered black and tans. I got a cheap thrill making those.
Those are great with an eggcentric breakfast.
Best Ice cream drink? Brandy alexander- it is also just made with cream. hands down, though, that is the yummiest.
ALthough we used to make one with vodka, triple sec and ice cream – I think it was called a dreamsicle. Those were pretty yummy too.
Sean, you missed out. You couldn’t even taste the rum, which is why it’s the drink for underage girls.
Honestly, you could try the non-alcoholic version now, and it would be pretty much the same.

Which would essentially be a Slurpee, for the frozen version.
Most alcoholic “dessert” drinks have non-alcoholic versions that taste just as good.

Or a smoothie. I usually used real fruit in my drinks, so they taste a little bit better than the crap with syrups.

In my daiquiri-drinking days, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have afforded you.
Car in, you wouldnt beleive how many ‘Tenders these days dont know what a BMaker is, i ordered one at Colton’s Steakhouse and they sent out half a beer and whiskey in a beer glass
I once had to tell a bartender how to make a highball. Actual quote: “I thought that was just the name of the glass.”
In my daiquiri-drinking days, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have afforded you.
I’m all for making pita drinks as expensive as possible.

When i’ve gone out lately – the bartenders have been -in general – pretty bad. No idea how to work the bar, etc. I watch and think “man, with this crowd I could make some MONEY’.
but to do that, they’d have to stop flirting with their fellow employees.
I’m trying to remember some of the really oldfashioned drinks peole used to occasionally order.
*Sorry Sean*
I have an alcohol / chemistry question. When I’m traveling, I order vodka/Sprite tall, which I consider just a sweeter version of vodka soda/tonic. Is there something in the chemical makeup of Sprite that will cancel out the effects of the Vodka? They don’t seem to have much of a punch.

‘sokay, puppeh. I made a change in my life. It wouldn’t be fair to expect everyone else to change theirs.
That said, isn’t that more of a question for the Hostages Chemistry Blog?
Wait, we have an H2 Chem Blog somewhere? What other blogs have been created that I don’t know about?

Without looking at Cyn’s links, it’s because there’s more mixer, thus making the drink less strong.
Cyn, i got out of the house today, the lil injuns came over and told me “Jokes” tp make me feel better
Dude! National League! Remember? So you shouldn’t be surprised.
Umm, Kansas City?

Jay: BZZZZT! No cookie for you.
And Busch is bigger than Anaheim. So there.
Hey, that’s great to hear that you’re up and about Krow. The more you move the faster you’ll heal. Now, be a dear, run out, and get me an iced mocha, tall, with whipped cream, cynnamon, and chocolate shavings on top. Chop chop!
