  1. I had a friend that loves doing baseball recording and stats. He was doing them for the corporate baseball team so the players would have full stats work-ups. After awhile people would start getting on his case if they weren't up a couple days after the game. People suck.
  2. I prefer "Holla! Pay-nose" :)
  3. Me too. Can't keep it in the house. Wifey and I got a "Beer of the Month" club thing as a wedding present, and the first set showed up yesterday. 12 bottles, 2 breweries, 2 styles from each. The odd thing is this month one of the brewers is Lancaster Brewing, which is 25 miles down the road.
  4. Congrats. Having just done a reception, I'll offer a few (fairly standard) tips: - Do make sure to eat whenever you can. If it works out logistically, task someone to send a small tray of appetizers to you. My father-in-law sent a tray up to our room during cocktail hour and it was a perfect way to bridge the gap until dinner. Also, if you're roaming around for pictures, pack a small bag with (much) water and snacks. If you want to be extra nice, pack a bag for your photographer(s). They're working the same hectic schedule as you, but they have even less chance to eat. - Make an effort to eat dinner. It will be tough because people will yammer at you, but work as a team to keep people chatting while the other eats. - Remember that as long as you're married at the end of the day, you're good. Everything else is gravy. - Have fun. It's a blast.
  5. Mogilny. Damn kids. :) :)
  6. Motorcycle camping and swimming hole trip this weekend. Ride, camp, swim, camp, and ride.
  7. Somehow, I don't think people are going to be happy about this: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/michigan-board-approves-new-red-wings-arena-in-downtown-detroit-despite-citys-bankruptcy/article13399759/
  8. She's planning a huge expose to regain some media cred.
  9. Yeah, that was one of the first really big bridges I drove over when I was younger. I got the extra-surprise version by ending up on the lower level, so I was driving into a hill and suddenly I'm 200ft over the Hudson. Last time I was over it was a couple years ago on a windy night, in the rain, on the bike. I chose the lower level thinking that it would be dry(er), but at every joint in the pavement above there was a 45 degree water fall from right to left. Each time I got to one I did my best to dodge left of right to avoid taking the water directly on the helmet. Still very cool to look down and see the water that far below. Why was I doing this? I had never been to the Dinosaur BBQ in Manhattan. That's as good a reason as any, right?
  10. Don't you blaspheme in here.
  11. I think the first post informs the second.
  12. FLRN was the closest I ever got to ignore. If the esteemed Mr. Kruse had kept it up for a few more days, I think I would have done it.
  13. Everyone knows once Cochran figures out FTL travel, to world will unite in the grand experiment of space travel.
  14. I have an acquaintance that's a Marine Engineer, the scale of those diesels is astonishing. Hatchways to climb inside the cylinders for maintenance...
  15. I'm confused here, the study seems to say that CRS causes Autism, so the vaccine would be a good idea. Is that what you meant in the first paragraph? It reads like you're saying the vaccine causes it. Be careful with studies, one of the ones (the only one?) that links vaccines and autism had a sample set of 12 kids (IIRC). That's not even close to meaningful.
  16. That one is quite good!
  17. Congrats, you've thrown enough conspiracy theories up that one has almost kinda not been wrong.

  19. Does everyone has to dress up like 1985 too? :)
  20. So linked from that article: http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/159/323/159323585_640.jpg If it's breast cancer awareness, how come the face-off dots are hearts and not boobs?
  21. Keep the flat roof, put a rink up there too!
  22. My wife and I sat for most of an episode debating whether it was the same actress or not.
  23. Flogging Molly - Worst Day Since Yesterday?
  24. Do her hands still work?
