  • We get Do Overs?

    [Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]

    I want a Do Over too. For that time my plane was delayed and I couldn't get to work and lost a day's pay. So get me to that sunny Carribean Island. We'll start the Do Over at the part in the airport when I was on my third drink with the little umbrella.

    But I shouldn't have to use a vacation day from this job to retrieve that pay.

    And all this time I thought I just had to suck it up and move on.

    started against Brett.

    So I've heard Rex Grossman reminds some people of Brett Favre. HA!

    I'm a waiter. I try to be the last on board so all y'all fools can wander around inefficiently getting in each others way.

    As for kids seperated for boarding zones, if a child knows the alphabet and can count, they can find their seat. Hell, I flew alone when I was six and managed to match the number and letter on a peice of paper to the number and letter in the airplane. But the FA is there to help in case your child is a moron. Quit hovering over your kids,people. You are doing all of us a dissservice by coddling your children. We are going to have to fly with these morons in the future. Please teach them NOW to take care of themselves and they are not all special and they share the world with 6.5 billion others.

    Honestly, look how many stupid adults there are just trying to get on and off an airplane. We don't more of those.

    includes taking one (usually on the face) for the team. Definately worth the price of admission to watch him run full speed into the wall to make a catch

    Soriano, on the other hand, is still scared of the wall.

    Cary Tennis no longer juices. Or is it Cary Tennis only juices?

  • beer and nachos in the cheap seats

    So he has beer and nachos in the ever cheapening cheap seats to prove that the real fans would enjoy the experience? Or that newer fans in the making that don't really care enjoy the experience?

  • care YET

    I meant to ask "newer fans that don't really care yet."

    A-Rod slapped the ball out of a fielders hand on his way to first. Going to first ids different because you can sprint and over run the base. ARod just had to kick into overdrive and could have run all the way to the wall trying to slow down.

    Home plate is different because a score is at stake. And one score is often a really big deal in a low scoring game like baseball (or hockey or soccer).

    That said, (not to @bmoore specifically anymore) Rowand taking it to the face for two bases and an out is is worth it. Unless they're playing the Cubs, they can't assume the hitting team will strand their runners on the base. Second and third bases are called Scoring Position. They may even score with that out, so might as well take it if you got the balls to do it (or the ball).

    is actually fun. The posters/graphics section is pretty cool. They picked a great Rev. Horton Heat to display along with the older stuff.

    In Janice Joplin's display case there is a full sheet of acid paper (undipped,of coarse) designed by R. Crumb.

    Angus Young's school boy uniform, Madonna's pointy bra, Bjork's kimono and other well known costumes are also displayed.

    It's not just the rock genre. It's the rock n roll lifestyle.

    Ifyou find yourself in Cleveland, you should go.

    to figure out that you send the schedules to the Hooters tent. Print it on the front of the Hooter's girls' shirts. And also on the back of the little white shorts for added assurance.

  • golf is a sport

    Agility, coordination and dexterity to hit the ball and get it into hole. Maybe towards the bottom of the List in Order of How Much Sweat Produced While Playing. Or the bottom of the list of How Much Physical Effort Required to Complete Said Task.

    Billiards are also a sport. Under golf on the same list.

    Bobsledding definately a sport. Especially since you need to coordinate three people running and jumping into the sled at the same time. Plus you gotta work out to look good in the spandex. Or at least get it zipped.

    Diving also a sport. Making it look pretty and getting it done takes a lot more work than just getting it done.

    Car racing not a sport. Knitting not a sport. Guitar Hero almost a sport compared to these two.

    I strarted to read it. After the second paragraph I quit. It really is lame. Trying to have a one night stand can be funny (see The Sure Thing with John Cusack). Or sweet. Or horrifying. But this was lame.

  • Stop with the lies

    [Read the article: Would you please get out of my swimming pool!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Snickers bars and nudity are way better than lying. Telling the truth is better than Snickers and nudity.

    You have to remember lies. For a family that holds grudges, LW will have to remember that lie for a long, long time.

    Truth is best but obviously the LW wants an alternate path. Otherwise she would have told the Cousin the truth.

    LW is looking for a way out of this with out having to say anything. Subtle hints won't work with this clueless Cousin. Without the simple truth in simple words, stupid tricks are all she's got left.
