Metrodome seat update:

The auction company my brother is working for got 2,000 seats, all the bar stools, freezers, fridges, luxury box seats, and about 50% of the field turf. He's gonna get me 4 chairs free I think, and I can buy pieces of the field turf, possibly a full number.

My wife won't be on board, so I gotta keep it on the down low.

I have a buddy that has field turf interest if you're willing to hook a brother up with a price.

I drank enough wine last night that the only thing I can think about this morning is the Cheesesteak I hope to eat at lunch.

with ice?

Yes. 3/4 of a bottle of Oak Leaf Merlot or whatever it is then a full bottle of Bouitielle Call (see what they did there?) Shiraz. That #### was gross but the ice made it tolerable.

What happened to the Plexiglas that Kirby ran into robbing Ron Gant?

I want the noise they piped in during the 87 WS.

How bout Kent Hrbek's glove from him clearly forcing Gant off the bag

Never happened. Gant's momentum carried him off.

I'm pretty excited to eat dinner tonight too. Fast ending after 5 days of not a single calorie.

Do what now?

I haven't eaten or drank a calorie since Sunday at about 5. Today the fast ends. I'm excited.

I am not sure I go that many days without bacon, sausage or jerky- let alone any calories.On the minus side, it is friggin freezing and already a long winter here in Maine.

On the plus side, I have been catching brook trout like crazy through the ice and jamming them down my throat hole.

I just spent an hour discussing the new Tinkerbell movie at work for work purposes. My job is no guster's meditation lab, but sometimes it's pretty fun.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

This morning I saw Dylan throw a snowball, and hit, the neighbor's car as they drove by. He was jumping up and down all pissing excited like he just won a free game at mini golf. Stupid kids.

this may or may not be related to the Simpsons marathon in the SLB household

Yes. this immediately came to mind. However I gave VERY explicit instructions that they were NOT to act like Bart Simpson.

Friday fun fact:

Mama Cass died in a London apartment belonging to Harry Nillson at age 32.

Four years later, The Who drummer Keith Moon died in the same apartment at age 32.

i'm definitely a little hung over today. i got into work around the same time as my boss, a little after 9. as we were walking in, i informed her that i didn't sleep well last night, so i was going to take off early this afternoon so i could go home and nap. instead of questioning whether i was hung over or telling me to make up any work this weekend or anything like that, she felt bad for me and told me that was a good idea and it's important to get enough sleep.

but still, i don't get to watch movies or have access to DVDs to pack into awesome boxes o crap

he's got to learn to hide afterwards... assuming there was a rock or at least some ice in the snowball

Thank God it was just a snowball. This gal's husband, Silvio, is built like a ####### lumberjack.

For some reason it makes complete sense that you would have a neighbor with a husband named Silvio. It just does.

Actually his name is Sergio. I mistyped.

In 1913 it was legal to mail children. With stamps attached to their clothing, children rode trains to their destinations, accompanied by letter carriers. One newspaper reported it cost fifty-three cents for parents to mail their daughter to her grandparents for a family visit. As news stories and photos popped up around the country, it didn't take long to get a law on the books making it illegal to send children through the mail.

actually true?

Good gravy, it's a black ice nightmare here in South Jersey. All bridges shut down, accidents everywhere, bridges closed, reports of a salt truck overturned and a fire truck that plowed into 4 other cars and ejected the driver.

And somewhere in Ohio shuke is having a brain aneurysm.

The weather girl on NBC in Philadelphia just said there's black ice all over. I could feel his blood pressure rising as he sensed a disturbance in the Force.

You sure she wasn't actually saying "black guys"?

Went to zoo lights last night, and they had all the animales represented in lights around the zoo, as you might expect. There were lions, and tigers, and bears (ohmy), and frogs and lizards and giraffes and even some made up stuff like unicorns and dragons and badgers.

And then there was a section of the zoo that was closed off so you couldn't walk through it, but you could pay for a horse-drawn carriage ride through it. Which my daughter was all over, so we jumped on. And up in lights back there we saw elephants and horses and monkeys and, towards the back, of course, the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. I'm speaking, of course, of the most obvious thing to have up in lights... in a zoo... this guy.

So random.

The weird guy we hire three months ago had a birthday yesterday and still hasn't shown up for work. He also failed to call in. Shall be interesting to see how my management colleagues choose to deal with him.

This isn't high school, Mr. Malloy. Some of us work in the REAL WORLD.

I got home from work yesterday and had a headache. Decided to lay down for about 30 minutes. That turned into about 90 minutes. So I wake up at 7PM feeling right as rain. Eat, workout, etc.

I try to go to bed at about 11 but toss and turn for about an hour. Finally get up and go down stairs to watch TV. I think I finally fell asleep about 3:30AM. Wake up at 6:30.

Long story short: I've had 3 hours of sleep and I'm pretty loopy. If I start posting a bunch of wacky pics and gifs you'll know why.

Actually I can't think of the last time we had a cake for someone's birthday. Usually it is the office staff that does stuff like that (bringing cakes, decorating someone's desk etc).

Yes. 3/4 of a bottle of Oak Leaf Merlot or whatever it is then a full bottle of Bouitielle Call (see what they did there?) Shiraz. That #### was gross but the ice made it tolerable.

I have to agree with you. If I am dealing with a bad red wine, then ice really does make it more palatable. Of course, the better solution is just not to be facing a bad red wine.

That would explain the giant smile on her face when she said it.

That's where I got it too. The truth is I just love the forlorn looking pics of the kids in mailbags, but you sort of also need the back story.

TF> what's the hardcore PJ fan's official take on Sirens?

According to the FFA PJ Thread -

Song first came out - hmm, interesting, but not sure what to make of it

After some listens - this song has great potential, solid solo, but still, I'm not sure

After some more listens - wow, this song is pretty freaking good

My personal opinion - It's the best song on the new album and one of the best songs they've done in a long time. The lyrics are also pretty damn powerful. It's also my kids' favorite song, so that scores points with me. It will be a staple in their live show for as long as they will be playing.

If you like that, check out the next track "Lightning Bolt" - another very solid tune.

Thought it was dumb at first for some reason, but now love it.

Well, one of two things has happened. Either he's so drunk/hungover that he didn't bother to wake up and call in "sick." Or he's so drunk/hungover that he's in jail and didn't bother to call in "sick." In my more self-righteous days he would have already lost his job. Now, I'm open to seeing what the deal is. However, 27 year olds who spent two years in the army should probably be past the "I'm getting so ####ed up on my birthday that I'm going to miss work!" stage, don't you think?

As it is, and since he doesn't directly work for me, my opinion doesn't much matter. If my colleague does ask how I would handle the situation I will offer that I don't think he's a good fit for the organization and this is our opportunity to relieve him of his position.

 

[shuke]

Shuke - pretty sure I won't be able to make it to Salt Lick. It's an hour from my house and with the kid birth imminent, I'm not straying too far. Can I take you to lunch one day while you are here?

Too busy. We don't have to go all the way to Salt Lick for dinner. Kev and cos love them some Amaya's.

Amaya's I can handle. That's only 15 minutes away.

So 3 stops for gas?
