Last Call
Some things never change
Well hello there. Haven’t seen you around here before. Come on in. Don’t worry, we don’t bite. Well Gimp might, but only if he’s been drinking. It’s a Wednesday so the chances of that are high, but not guaranteed.

The Gally Blog 
Is this the part where I’m supposed to pull my pants down?
/don’t want too…….but ok.
Nice try, lads, but he’s not nearly goofy looking or hairy enough.
I am buying beer tonight, or else.
I didn’t realize that I couldn’t give the ladies some cheesecake. If I do this again it’ll be a picture of Andre Smith running topless.
You mean this picture?
Roll Tide.
I mean, Go Bengals.
I mean, what?
I think you want this Polish man instead…
yep that was the one.
Trust me, appreciate the gesture. I just get confused over the idea of a hot-model-man. They’re so forced soulful and weird looking.
JR – that’s an interesting looking tribal tattoo. That man could probably crush my hand just by shaking it.
haha, ok.
Gally, where did you find that tapestryshopped piece? It’s brilliant!
Some forum like 2 years ago. My computer is full of stuff like that.
I’m so lifting that.
What’s mine is yours. Except for the teddy bear in the corner.
So, is the the party where I stick my dick in the mashed potatoes… I mean, HI EVERYBODY!
Hey JB, gimp might have beaten you to the potatoes though.
In that case, I might want to avoid the punch and apple pie…
The punch is spiked with moonshine, but I’m not sure about the sanctity of the pie.
Trust me, you don’t want the pie.
/evil laugh
I’d stay away from the clam chowder…
Special sauce?
Cream of sumyoungguy
What, you thought it got that thick and creamy on its own? Psssh. It’s made with “love.”
What, you thought the clam chowder was that thick and creamy on its own? pfft. It’s made with *love*
Wow… I’d hate to figure out what you two call making it with *love*. However, I think we know that somebody would still eat it.
Is there an echo in here?
I think we all had the same evil thought.
Wow, dude. I’m not sure which one of us should be more scared.
That’s creepy. Not like walking in on your parents creepy, but pretty close.
Admit it, you love me now.
Is that what that feeling is?
We’re all sick minds here I guess. Great minds that think alike, but sick none the less.
WTF?? Charlie Gibson is retiring?
I know, right? And even more shocking, Diane Sawyer’s still alive!
No, seriously. I didn’t like Woodward, and I HATE Vargas with the fire of 10,000 suns. Charlie was/is the only reason I continue to watch the World News. If they don’t replace him with quality, I’m leaving ABC (and not that they care, but I’ve been watching ABC News for 30 years now).
Good evening folks… glad to see I made it for happy hour… let’s just keep whatever is cheap and on tap coming this way, m’kay? Great. Thanks. I’ll leave a big tip, promise.
Just make sure gimp doesn’t leave one for you…
Holy Crap. Mark Brunell is still playing, as the Saints backup QB
Mark Brunell still has brain function?!!
That and functioning legs and arm. It’s weird.
But he still has minimal talent?
Well he stepped in and continued the rout of the Raiders the other night, from what I gather. Although it was the Raiders.
Hey Sculptor, you’re going to get an email from me tonight before I hit the hay. That might be 6 AM your time, though, so this is just a head’s up.
But right now, I have to go get beer. BEER!
Okay, thanks.
Get something good, will ya?
Hey, any attorneys in the house to answer a quick “should I or shouldn’t I?” question?
Not an attorney, but I have watched a lot of Law & Order, and Boston Legal. Shoot.
Long and short: we’re involved in a due process filing over our daughter’s IEP. We’ve all met with attorneys, this has been going on for a bit; tonight, the superintendent of the school called and said he’d like to meet with us WITHOUT attorneys to try and resolve this. There’s exactly no possible good outcome that can come from this, right?
Why does it have to be bad? They probably just want to talk without people (ie attorneys) throwing out threats and stuff like that.
It’s not that it has to be bad; they’ve made a settlement offer today that we’ve rejected on the grounds that it doesn’t really address any of the issues we have. We also had a mitigation session earlier this week that came to nothing, and they pulled something similar after that.
If attorneys have been involved up to this point….then they stay involved. Period.
Sometimes a peaceful well rounded resolution can come about without all the Lawyering. You would always have the option to go back to the Lawyers if you don’t like what you’re hearing.
The biggest problem is that the Superintendant more than likely has gotten advice on this meeting with his/her lawyer. It will more than likely be a scripted meeting for them while you are caught shooting from the hip. I’m no lawyer but have sat through enough depositions and been a witness at enough trials that I know rule #1….which is posted above. Just my opinion though.
Touche
Bingo. He’s not shelling out $300 an hour just to cut his counsel out of the mix at the end.
You know what this is over, BTW? Giving my autistic daughter full day kindergarten, which will cost the district exactly, let me see…NOTHING. It’s completely fucking nuts.
Those Bastards. That’s crazy.
Jesus man. Im really sorry to hear that. Fucking incredible.
Ugh. You poor bastid. IMHO, if it’s come down to having met with a denizen of the LLP, you’d be best served to meet and bring him/her along. I can only see a one-on-one meeting dissolving into a he-said, she-said type of conflagration.
/not LLP
//find your salt shaker and take several grains
Not an attorney either, but I’ll give an honest opinion.
I’m going to just go ahead and answer no because I’m assuming the question is “Order a hit on Lucas Levia”
Just a studant magnakai
Hi everyone
I am fucking over this Religion class! ugghhhh there is not Jesus love in me, just slutty pyromania occult shit*
*note- I might be exaggerating my hedonism
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.
Hey Marissa…just read your Chargers preview. GO RAIDERS!!!!
/kidding.
//my next door neighbor is Jack Squirek
DON’T GET ME MORE ANGRY DURING CLASS BUCKO
When a prof asked us to write about how Life of Pi made you believe in Religion on a Final, I wrote her an essay saying how absurd that statement was and went off on her. I passed with a D.
She, the professor, is actually respectful. It’s just my bible humping classmates that don’t understand what agnosticism/atheism is.
Is this a religious school? Are you in a Theology course? Why on earth are you sitting in this class?
yes- To please my daddy, I attend an all girls Catholic college
It’s a GE requirement
She knows me by name/face so there’s no way to escape this
Well I’m sorry to hear about your predicament. Sounds like hell on earth.
/pun intended :)
Maybe they should hump something else and then they’d be less all about Jesus
Silly Adam, that goes against the point. Besides, I thought they only did that in Catholic High Schools.
yeah, the thing about Catholics, they are cool w/ humping multiple things and not seeing the contradiction.
Not all of them. I found this out the hard way.
Fair enough, my prof wasn’t fair or respectful. One day we were discussing some Emily Bronte piece and one of the guys voiced his opinion. She flat out said, ” No. That is incorrect”. In an English class, where anything should be open to interpretation. Later when one of the girls mentioned something similar, she had no opposition. I loved that class.
ask them if they believe in Santa Claus.
When they say “no” ask them why not – if they can believe in some old man that can hear/watch everyone and mete out punishments and praises, why can’t the believe in an old man that can hear/watch everyone and mete out coal/presents?
gets those fuckers every.single.time.
Oh man I’m one of those fuckers. AND I totally believe in Santa Clause…..SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!
What about the Tooth Fairy?
Oh absolutely. She’s hot!!!
HAHAHA. Not quite as charming as The Easter Bunny though. Gotta love them furries.
Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Offler the Crocodile God, Death, et. al. Yep, them too. But Santa is the best (and most prominent) example.
Duh, because reindeers don’t fly. That’s just plain preposterous.
riiight. and some dude transmuting water into wine and walking on water is believable? pfft.
You ever watch an episode of Criss Angel’s show?
one or two. he’s annoying. but those are stunts, tricks. he even admits it. that doesn’t explain how Santa can deliver presents around the globe in 24 hoursl
Haha
Magnakai – check your email.
FD
Got it; thanks for the advice!
Oh, Gally, dig the place – I’m at work now but will be on more when I get home.
Cheers,
FD
Thanks.
I got to go on a quick beer run, feel free to loot the place, just don’t let it burn down. Somebody might want to come back another day.
You sir are obviously not prepared for the night ahead. You should have done this earlier. It’s really going to cut into your boozing time.
The beer store is three blocks away. I think i’ll live.
That’s better, but you need to be like a Boy Scout…Always prepared.
ugggghhhh someone talk me out of yelling at some dumb racist white bitch. NO IT’S NOT RARE FOR ME, A LATINA, TO NOT BE THE FIRST FAMILY MEMBER IN COLLEGE.
That’s racist…
Especially when there’s so, so many children in those families…
/ducks, and runs back to the corner.
Did she mention working construction and sombreros just to round out the stereotype.
Ai yai yai!
CLASS IS OVER….I AM OUT!
WOOO!!! PLAY SOME FREEBIRD!!!!
My buddies and I always remove our caps for Freebird.
I’m kind of lame. The first time I heard it was playing Guitar Hero 2. I remember thinking this song doesn’t seem so hard or awesome. Then, my mind was blown.
Anybody have Madden 10? is it worth a crap?
FIFA and NHL are currently owning me
Hey, can I drink with you guys for a while? I had a tough day.
Um, YEAH. That’s part of what LC is for.
/passes beer
Wassup?
Nada, just wanted to kick back after work with a cold one and a few like-minded individuals. I assume this is the right place?
Yes it is.
so, is it me, or is this US Open Cup match rather, um, sloppy?
Seattle’s kit looks shitty too.
well at least you can see them tonight. when they wear all green, they effectively disappear on the pitch. you see their heads and shoes. weird to watch.
And to answer your first question, yes it’s shitty football.
I keep expecting something, anything to happen. So far? Disappointment.
I’ve really tried to maintain interest in MLS, but the quality of play and the shitty playoff system really turn me off. If they went to a single table system, then I would try to watch. But their playoff system is so half assed that it appears the players don’t give a shit most of the time. These guys have no sense of urgency. EVER.
We need some George Carlin style rules. Turn the centre field line into a flame wall, and have snipers in the upper stands (rubber bullets, we want them to live); rule is snipers can only peg the dude currently with the ball. Make those fuckers RUN and pass.
Haha, awesome.
I am back with beer.
Turns out, y’all talked about sex with Catholics when I was out. Bummer.
And I’m back. Unfortunately the beer is cold, hopefully time will change that.
It’s unfortunate that the beer is cold?
Trying to wrap my mind around that concept…
Wait, you don’t like cold beer? I have a hefe and some ale sitting in the fridge – they will be mine once they cool down. Oh yes.
PROPER beer is best served between 55 and 65 degrees F, much like wine. The only reason for an ice cold beer is so you don’t taste how truly awful it is.
What I had meant to say was that the beer store had just restocked and my beer was not cold. I guess I have to get gimp to proofread my comments for me.
My apologies, good sir and host. I prefer my beer cold.
It’s no problem, I’m the one who can’t properly speak my thoughts.
Though, I should add, I will drink it warm if that’s the only option.
Now that makes sense.
Today I got “coach” and “couch” confused. It’s been one of those days.
Ladies tend to do so in the presence of Rick Pitino.
Bravo. I’m initiating a slow clap.
I had no idea. I always went for “fridge temp” or barring that “cooler temp”. Interesting.
I correct myself (I prefer porters and stouts, hence my temperature gauge above)
The proper temperature is essential for beer enjoyment. A beer served too cold will withhold most of its flavor. But while serving beer at room temperature brings out the flavors and aromas and is appropriate when judging beer, most drinkers prefer something cooler. Some general guidelines:
– Serve fruit beers at 40-50° F.
– Serve wheat beers and pale lagers at 45-50° F.
– Serve pale ales and amber or dark lagers at 50-55° F.
– Serve strong ales, such as barley wines and Belgian ales, at 50-55° F.
– Serve dark ales, including porters and stouts, at 55-60° F.
I will drink anything that should be served between 45 and 55. Recommend me a good stout?
I do love my Guiness, but I generally don’t like to drink it out of a bottle or can.
Fruit Beers? Is there something more than Leinie’s Berry Weiss?
Up here in Canada, we have a decent Raspberry Ale. But I think it’s a local brew.
Wailua Wheat. Passion fruit weissbier from Hawai’i. It is teh awesomez.
and AA: I enjoy Guinness, Saranac Black Diamond (halfway between porter/stout), Great Lakes Brewery makes a very good porter.
Sort of tough, since I don’t know what brands you have out there.
Thank you for your help. I’m not even sure what we have out here. In St. Louis, this was all a lot easier.
Well, where you at? Anchor Steam products are fairly decent; they’re out of SFO.
I am near SFO. Between SFO and SMF (Sacramento). I will grab some Anchor Steam next time. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them around.
Victory Storm King, this is the best stout out there. Also Samuel Smith oatmeal stout is very good. On a side note, a Brewery in NH made a beer called ALT CTL DLT
Fairly lively bunch we got here tonight.
If I hear Jim Breuer say “Jackpot” one more time, I’m gonna stab somebody in the face with a Ford Explorer.
You’ve all been warned.
That’s going to leave a pretty good gash.
Oh Jimmy Johns… you please me again with your mediocre tasty sandwich, washed down with a Sprite Zero…
I really hate working late shifts on Wednesdays.
For anybody interested, On Sunday is the draft for The Gally Blog’s blogger Fantasy Football Competition. We will be holding a Live Blog to accompany it as we mock each other ruthlessly and throw praise where it’s needed. Those involved are myself, logic, gimp, Xmas Ape, Monday Morning Punter, Flubby, Andrew Bucholtz, Adam, & James Brown. There is one spot, left so if you would like to take part let me know.
What time Sunday?
4:30 EST
I’m in if you have a spot. I need a “competitive” league this year now that I’m not doing the money league.
There is a requirement.. That you write for a sports blog…
He’s written for the Pub, he qualifies.
Sculptor vouched for you, so you’re all good. I sent you an email to the address that you signed in here with.
I think that Pepsi commercial about, “Yo yo yo, may your hands always be busy …” is becoming the new Saved By Zero. And by “is becoming,” I mean hearing it every half inning made me want to stab a baby by mid-April.
As your attorney, and by “your attorney” I mean “as your friend and someone who has interned at an environmental law clinic”, I have to advise you against stabbing a baby, no matter how annoying the song may be.
LAWYER’D.
Sigh, I just realized I will never have the opportunity to go “ECOLOGIST’D!”.
Not with that attidude you wont.
You’re right!
Trophic cascades are real…ECOLOGIST’D!
Maybe that didn’t work…
You just did…and it was AWESOME!!!!
I concur, If I was in law school yet, I would say you lawyered the situation, but alas you’ve been bartendered.
Are there here who are people drinking tonight? I can’t for 11 days so you are my source of vicarious pleasure and I would like to know what you have exactly. Don’t be ashamed if it’s a sissy beer, either: Mich Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry is one of my favorites.
“Are there here who are people drinking tonight”
What the fuck is that? Maybe I AM drinking but am too drunk to realize it.
And I post this as a reply to a baby-stabbing thread. Good Lord.
I’m drinking a Canadian Pilsner.
That is EXACTLY what I would like to drink right now. Nice!
I’m glad you can live vicariously through my liver.
Back….
my crisis intervention book is hilarious
Ok. I’ll bite. What exactly is funny about your crisis intervention book?
The examples they were using. They were talking down this guy, Jake, from killing himself by reminding him that he had things to live for, like the tuba and his church’s softball team.
Ok. You win. That’s fucking great. The tuba?!?! I will remember that the next time I have to try and talk someone down. Wonderful.
Right? I would kill myself if THAT was all I had to live for!
I played the tuba during a year of jr. high band, so I guess this means I have even more to live for. God I’m awesome.
Sounds like Jake has the same publicist as T.O.
WTF? Dude gets kicked in the ribs, and no card at all? That should’ve been a red card.
THERE’S the red card. Thankyouverymuch Mr. Ref.
What’s up, boys & girls? Have I ranted about how much I hate my cable company lately? My house got hit by lightning about 5 weeks ago, and it’s taken them this long to get the cable lines repaired correctly. Since then, it’s been constant outages, crappy connections, angry e-mails to executive customer service, missed appointments, and a lot of swearing. They seem to have it fixed, after a day where I could have commented on any number of brilliant posts around our corner of the blogosphere…anyway, I hate my cable company.
Magnakai are you still around?
WELL. DCU just decided to show up and play. 1 minute plus 4 or so stoppage minutes. This has suddenly become interesting.
Does Chris Brown think the baby blue sweater with matching bow tie makes him look respectable?
I think he is going for “non-threatening” as in “no, I did not beat up my girlfriend, look at me, I look like someone YOU’D beat up”.
Haha, well put. He does kind of look remorseful, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t get run over by a bus.
I love the “Yeah I did it….but I don’t remember it” defense. Very believable.
I thought that only counted when you did something whilst drunk, that you possibly regretted.
Yeah it also doesn’t work when you were beating her ass for a couple of blocks in front of witnesses. At least that’s what I’ve heard. I wouldn’t know from personal experience.
/not a wife beater
//nor do i beat my wife
Evening, fucktowels…
The votes are still coming in, but I think I may have received the greatest sales pitch ever this evening. Come on, someone ask me what it was.
Evening, Ham Wallet. With all due respect of course.
Welcome back.
And okay, I’ll take the bait. What was the pitch?
I went to Home Depot to purchase some insect killer, as we have an army of boxelder bugs roaming Magics Manor. I wasn’t sure what to get, so I asked the guy which one would work best. He picked one off the shelf, looked me in the eye and proceeded to tell me, “This will kill all forms of life in your yard, up to and including Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
I was so impressed, I bought two bottles.
That is amazing…..omg, I would buy insect killer from him and I don’t even have a lawn.
Haha, I second the best sales pitch ever. You got a name for it?
I think we’ll call it just plain fucking awesome. Oh, you mean the product? Spectracide or something, I don’t know. To tell you the truth, it could have been called anything and I’d still buy it after that kind of pitch.
Well that makes sense.
Wow. That is truly fantastic.
WINNAR.
Agreeed, that’s the best sales pitch I’ve ever heard.
/and yeah, Spectracide is some nasty shit. be careful with that.
Nice. I too would buy some. I have no use for it, but damn.
Should any of us be alarmed that the guy told me this without a hint of humor in his voice? I mean, he took a kind of perverse glee in telling me this, like he’s running some kind of fucked up Mengele-esque experiments at his home. The whole episode was equal parts thrilling and disturbing at the same time, and I doubt I’ll ever experience anything like it ever again. After all, how often does weird shit happen to me?
As long as your name/address wasn’t on the receipt. You wouldn’t want him to come to your house to volunteer you for said experiments.
I’ve put enough toxins in my body over the years that I think I’m immune to anything short of weapons grade plutonium at this point. And now that I think about it, he looked like the kind of guy that wouldn’t have a safe word, if you’re picking up what I’m putting down. Probably more than a few dead Guatemalan hookers under his porch.
Oh come on. If I’d have thought of that, I’d have said it with unmitigated glee in my voice. Honestly, this dude sounds like one of us.
One of us.
One of us.
You never bury them under the porch. Always in the garden. Natural compost that way.
Yeah I’ve never heard you tell any weird or fucked up stories. Ever.
My life is a collection of dull and nondescript events. I’m the Willy Loman of the sports blogosphere.
Christ, the pictures are huge. People might actually be able to see what my avatar is now, and still not care too much!
Currently I’m in the middle of my draft for my fourth fantasy football team. What’s the second step to recovery after admitting you have a problem? It’s fully investing yourself in your problem, right?
Hey now, we all care. Going balls deep does sound like a reasonable second step.
So it appears that Pacman Jones is not coming to Canada after all. So you can all relax, because the strippers are going to be safe, albeit not as wealthy.
WTF!!!! Why isn’t he coming? They decided Charles Rogers was better? Fuck that. I was looking forward to finally getting some CFL highlights around these parts.
oh. there was a link. sorry
Not necessarily. Apparently a large part of the contention was that Pacman did not want the strippers to pick up the proceeds. Jermaine Dupri even got on the PA and instructed them not to. Apparently money actually was a thang after all. Fucking hypocrite.
Wow, that’s uber douchey. Now that you mention it, I think I remember hearing something about that.
That was my favorite part of the story as well.
Here goes: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=4333957.
Finally home, for the first time since 10:30 am. Wednesday will not be a good day.
Is it not Wednesday? Did I miss something?
I just suck at english. Wednesdays will not be good.
It’s ok, A.A and myself have also flubbed up the Engrish language tonight.
trying this again without the link…hello? i can’t seem to get past the spam filters anymore, it’s like i’m sitting here talking to myself…which sums up my normal day-to-day, now that i think about it.
I see you now. What’s up? I met a Boise State fan today. She was stoked for tomorrow. It was heart-warming.
I am extremely stoked about football coming up. Trying to decide if I’m gonna stay up for Boise or just watch it Friday morning instead.
See, living on the West Coast has some benefits. True, I have to be up at 8:30 to catch the noon games, but I get to see other games at reasonable hour.
I think everyone’s excited to get into football season. I am and i probably shouldn’t be. On a side note, i commend Boise for playing Oregon and not Southwestern Idaho St.
They have to if they want to be taken seriously, but agreed. It’ll be a great game.
The trouble for Boise is that it’s their only decent game on the schedule. Tulsa a potentially distant second. If they lose to Oregon, even in a close one, they’re done for the year on the national level. And I’m pretty sure they have a 1-AA team on the schedule later.
Keep in mind thought that no one wants to play them. How many top 25 teams are going to play other top 25 teams ooc unless they absolutely have to (ex. Florida/FSU, Georgia/GT and Norte Dame/Navy). Same way with bball, we can only get 1 or 2 big time teams in the ooc because the real good mid majors won’t play us (except dayton which is a geo thing) and neither will the other big time majors.
They still won’t be playing in the BCS title game if they win this plus all their other tough games. It’ll be some stupid fucking Big 11 team, Texas, Ok State or USC playing Florida in early Jan. We need a playoff.
Yeah I’m really looking forward to that game as well. A nice way to kick off the season.
hey, talking to myself is sometimes the only way i can get a decent conversation. they don’t necessarily make sense, but i’m usually amused.
Ditto… and that’s just when I’m at home, or at work… or on the interwebs… or in my sleep for that matter…
I just saw an ad for a phone, endorsed by Whoopi Goldberg, Phil Jackson, and generic tatooed reality tv person (Jesse James?). I could not be less interested in any product ever.
Tattooed. Reality TV. Person.
It was Kate from Jon & Kate + 8. I’m sure of it.
Would the purchase of said phone entitle me to bludgeon Kate to death with it? If so, I’ll take one. I wish she’d get anally raped by a gorilla with full blown AIDS.
Heya dudes and dudettes *nods to Sculpt and A-A* what’s shaking tonite?
Are you calling me a dude?
Jeff Francoeur seems to be a much better asset to the Braves not that he’s a Met. Lets go Jeff! Beat the Rockies!
Hey, how’s law school? I had a great dinner and now I’m watching TV and writing. Super fun times!
@MEIA – didn’t see you chica, what’s crackin.
@A-A – I’m just excited to put up an embarassing picture of you – let’s say that on the pubcast pre-call they liked my odds. As for law school, I get the material, which is good. It’s a lot of reading, but I’m not drowning.
@RATL- The Mets don’t even phase me anymore.
FUCK I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT TO SEE AA AND HER SEXINESS….
I need to email you about that. I have 2 options you can choose from, it’s all full of intrigue.
Marissa- this is ONLY if I lose a bet.
Oh you will lose miss, of this I have no doubt.
MEIA – as miss AA can attest too, my picture is rather embarassing.
Oh can we please know what the bet is? Pretty please???
AA and I have a bet on whether Isiah gets a major recruiting violation in the next 2 years – I say yes, she says no. Personally, I bet its a scandal where he’s giving high schoolers hookers and blow, but thats me.
Well A.A. knows much more about college b-ball than I do. But I have to go against her on this one. I think it’s a guarantee.
ECOLOGIST’D!
//you’re right….it feels good.
I made a kind of pro/con list before I made the bet. It included things like “the NCAA has its hands full”, “Isiah Thomas would like to have his hands full”, “FIU compliance department must be good, right?”, “does FIU have a compliance department”.
I stand by my choice.
//I know, right!?
Ha. Sorry AA, but I think you’re going to lose on this one.
I say he gives out tickets to that UNC game, that’ll draw some recruits…to UNC. Actually the hookers sounds about right.
oooohhh embarrassing pictures! Thank God I’m constantly photogenic….
shifts eyes…
I’m in….costume in my photo.
Yeah, I was pretty sure you’d be done with the Mets like almost every other Mets fan. One of my friends that I split mlb.tv with is a big Mets fan and he says he is done with them for this year. Santana was the last straw.
It’s not even fun anymore. We’ve fielded a AAA squad the past two months. Fernando Tatis couldn’t bat cleanup on my softball team, and he was hitting there for the metropolitans.
Yeah I actually find it kinda shitty at this point. I’d much rather they fall apart down the stretch. It’s impossible to make fun of a team that has had this kind of season. Unless it were the yankees. Then I wouldn’t stop smiling all day every day.
All sorts of stuff! How’s tricks with you? I see you made it through that boring-ass class today.
That was brutal today. People need to shut the fuck up
Saw your comment earlier-man, I figured by law school the stupid hypotheticals would have worn themselves out. My undergrad Legal/Ethics class was 4 months of “I’ve heard you can beat a DUI if you ___.”
These questions are about willful ignorance – I’m like dude/dudettes – stfu – this isn’t relevant. If her moms cousin put the weed in the car and you had no reason to know its not being willfully ignorant.
Jesus Christ. Anyone watching this Sox/Rays game? This is like the 4th pitching change in the last 5 minutes. Sept call ups suck.
That’s why we will never see another 300 game winner. Ever.
I think there will be. Roy Halladay, Tommy Hanson, Rick Porcello. Someone that’s really good at a young age. I just needs to be a guy like Halladay that stays in the game.
I don’t know, they get pulled at the slightest hint of trouble, then the next guy comes in, and then the closer. Halladay and Sabathia are the only old school hurlers left, IMO. They’re the guys who could play multiple games in a row, and complete games. And Sabathia I don’t think has the frame to last.
Cliff Lee is in that category as well. But I don’t think he has enough wins under his belt to get to 300. I don’t think we won’t ever see it again. I just believe it will a MUCH rarer feat the rest of my lifetime.
True, Lee is in that category, but playing for bad teams hurt him. The only way for Halladay to do it either is to go to the Yanks or Sox .
/Shudders
I just think it’s more likely that someone like Porcello or Hanson averages 15 wins a year for 20 years. That means they would be pitching til either 40 or 43 which is very possible considering Randy Johnson (with all his back problems, is still in there at 46) and guys like Glavine and Maddux called it quits at around 42-43. Of the guys currently in their prime Halladay is the only guy with a shot. I too think CC’s massive body will break down.
Well, it just got interesting as far as I’m concerned….I’m hoping the Sox can cash in on some of this.
Grant Balfour is a left handed Ryan Madson. DON’T BOUNCE THE BALL WITH MEN ON.
The announcer in Sox-Rays said the Rays signed Pat Burrell to help with the maturation of Longoria. What? Does he need to be instructed to bang anything that moved short of Pitino-types?
How else is Longoria supposed to learn how to take an 0 for 27 slump in stride?
Get traded to the Mets?
I laughed out loud.
Pat Burrell is the last thing you want a promising young player to be around. It’s no coincidence that his best season was the off-season after he got married. Pat Burrell’s the real-life Tim Riggins. Pat Burrell pre-marriage=Riggins pre-lyla. Married Burrell=Tim w/lyla.
There’s some really good Burrell stories floating around.
Yeah I’ve seen a few of them. Don’t really have an opinion one way or the other. Kinda seems like a douche though.
This is mainly what i was thinking of. From Deadspin. He’s funny as hell, i sat in left at Phils games for years.
The story goes: A few guys were on a business trip in Pittsburgh. A couple of the guys knew the Phils were in town, so when they all spotted Burrell at a club there one night, it wasn’t a total surprise. Pat ended up taking a liking to one of the girls in their group. She thought he was hot but didn’t follow baseball. He took her back to his hotel room, and a make-out session ensued until she alerted Pat that she would NOT do him. Not fazed by this, Burrell seemed to respect her chastity, and rather than force himself on her or fly into a blueball rage, he asked a simple question, glancing down at his engorged pants: “Mind if I take care of business?”
Boxing’s been good to me, Howard. Now I’m told I’m growing old …
…the whole time you knew, a couple of years I’d be through – has boxing been good to you?
Good song, good album.
Oh that’s a bad way to lose the lead. No hits.
Ellsbury, you sack of crap, why did you swing at that? My Grams would’ve had the sense to not swing. Sheesh.
Oh fucksticks.
K kids, if your around in like an hour I’ll be back. If not I’ll be in bed!
Cheers loves.
Later babes! Good to see ya again!
Now Evan will go ask Burrell where the blow is.
I bet there’s a trip to hooters after this one for longoria.
You mean the locker room?
Well, i think the Sox are sunk. WTF was Francona thinking?
(rhetorical – he wasn’t capable of much independent thought when he played for Cleveland; not much has changed)
Seriously, my professor has the best comb over ever. It’s sorta like a crown.
Combover vs. skullet — who wins?
how about the combination of the two?
/shudders
wow, that’s a disturbing mental picture.
I think that describes every woodshop/driver’s ed instructor in America.
Marv Albert’s space-age-material hat that he wears on TV all the time.
What about a merkin? Where does that rank in all of this? Worse yet, what about a pubic combover?
pubic combover is by far the most disturbing concept I’ve heard of in a while.
Clearly you’ve not heard many of my stories, then. I could tell you far more disturbing things, friend. Ask around.
I will have to do so. I can’t possibly not know now.
You don’t manscape?
who would grow their pubes that long?
Demi Moore in the 80’s
Hasidic Jews?
Hasidic Jews? Blanket Jackson?
Anyone that did porn before the mid 90’s.
Are all your classes night classes?
I live on the West Coast so my last class was in the afternoon. I only have 2 night classes.
Oh ok, it just seemed that way I guess.
Um hey Gally….I was snooping around. I saw that you quoted what that little Japanese slap hitter had to say about Cleveland. I would just like to take this opportunity to say that you, sir, can go fuck yourself.
Haha, no offense. The only city I hate is Calgary. And maybe Boston, but only really for the Patriots.
It’s ok. I forgive you. Nice place you got around here. It’s been bookmarked.
Ah… finally back home… what did I miss?
/reads up… stops at “pubic combover”…
You know what… I think I’m going to bed.
chicken shit.
Someone’s being a pussy…
Reply to both of you… I have never denied this.
/will stick around for another half an hour while my hair dries so I don’t get Wet Hair Bed Head in the morning.
did you get your invite?
Yes and I hate my team name, so I’m going to spend all my time tomorrow while I should be working and counting things trying to come up with a good team name. Yay for fucking up work!
haha, good stuff.

I enjoyed some of these.
It’s the new chastity belt, you just comb it over and get it all knotty….
well a pubic combover certainly won’t help you get laid
But will it help me NOT get laid?
Oh, that is NASTY.
Sometimes, I bring out the class act.
I am flashing the SKA light, where is Chris Hanson’s Axe?
I need the assistance of one you fine patrons. I want to post an MP3 that I thin some you might enjoy, but I am not very internets smart.
Sorry pal, I don’t know how, outside of posting a link to a Youtube vid.
yeah I think it might have to be the youtube vid, I might be able to embed it if you send me the link.
I sent an email to you. I am not sure if you can post it the file in it.
no can do, gmails virus detection quarantined the file and wouldn’t let me open it.
oh well thanks anyway.
What’s the song?
Does anyone else have complete brain meltdowns where they can’t remember something they did/heard once a week for almost 3 years?
do explain
I was working on a music post, talking about a guy who used to play guitar at the bar… listened to him every day for years, and he always played the same songs… I had a top 5 that, once i heard them, I could call it a night… I’ve got 3, can’t think of the other two, and it’s going to keep me up all night now.
shitty.
Constantly. I’ve found that if I no longer use the info regularly, my brain jettisons it. For example: I used to know most major zipcodes and area codes, as well as at least 90% of inventory item numbers – off the top of my head. Now that I haven’t worked at that job for a few years? Poof. Gone.
what?
at my last job. all that junk i used to use every.single.day for three years, and i can’t remember any of it now.
I still know some of my food inventory codes. But they fade fast.
I remember a time when I knew people’s phone numbers. Not anymore.
I never had to use a phone book. Now I don’t even try to remember a number, unless I call it every day.
I had to give someone my old home phone number (my mom’s number)… and spaced… cell phones have made it too easy, and all I do is say “Call Mom” now…it’s hilarous. I couldn’t name, maybe, 3 phone numbers right now, counting my apartment to check the voicemail.
I hear ya.
Has anyone seen this Tostitos commercial?
I just spent 20 minutes typing a response to the most recent post on ATD, only to reread the article and find that Adam said much of what I was trying to say – in about 500 fewer words.
I need to practice writing more often.
It does take some work. I’m nowhere near a pro, but I’m going to keep on trying.
Hahaha, yeah: “The jokes on us that did the laughing now.”
That could have used a bit of help, LOL.
/not flinging stones; I’m an editor not a writer.
How in the hell did I not know about this guy until today?
Kige Ramsey? He is a WKU and UK fan.
Meaning, that is why I have known about him forever.
Don’t get her started on Kige Ramsey
I just don’t like meanness to people who don’t deserve it!
No I’m not even being mean. This guy is golden. I don’t know him personally, but I’ve watched a dozen of his videos and he seems like the most genuine guy you would ever meet. Honestly.
No, I know you’re not. I’m just explaining myself. I’m not a huge defender, but I’d get pissed when DeadSpin made him into a weird clownish meme character.
The thing I like about Kige is that he has never shit-talked UK’s team, unlike some fans who think it’s totally OK to trash-talk kids.
Jesus, that dude was/is a Deadspin meme for over a year. Hell, C’lay went on his ‘show’.
I must have started going to Deadspin after this guy. Fan-freaking-tastic. I’m hooked.
What the hell? She should get tested for the Anorexic. I think she has Anorexic…. He shore do speak gud engrish.
Oh god….he is also AA’s long lost boyfriend!!!! This just keeps getting better!!
you’re just jealous b/c you don’t have someone to call your own.
That hurts. Did you have to rub it in like that?
Well, it’s been quite the active night, but I’ve gotta cash in my chips. I’m bushed.
See you miscreants later today.
Hasta!
Goodnight Sculptor.
Gnite from me as well all. Try not to burn the place down. That seems like it would piss off gally.
Haha, yeah a little.
Those guys have the right idea. G’nite folks…
Gally, nice place.
Thanks, feel free to stop by anytime.
Jesus tapdancing Christ. 351 comments? I guess Gally’s Last Call trumps my NightCap
Last Call is a special dealio. We get linked to by “partner sites” and everyone congregates here. It’ll maybe happen once or twice a month.
Fucking solid. I hope I make the next one. Slointe
Fucking solid. I hope I make the next one. Slainte
I think you would of liked the conversation about sex with Catholics, or the pubic combover
Oh absolutely. When I get back from Notre Dame we need to host again. Any day but Labor Day. I’ll break out some Natty Light and slam beers until sunrise with the night owls.
I’ll hook you up with the schedule, and let you know when we get the chance to host again.
