Grand Moff-Topic Post of the Day
Did I just reveal my nerdiness there? I hope so not.
Let's take a breeze through the news today.
Rotten Tomatoes doesn't like Body of Lies, nor does it like City of Ember.
Tampa schools don't like mohawks.
Shark Jesus cometh.
Would you rather have shark fins, but no gills; or gills but no lungs?
Would you rather have needles for leg hair, or have needles for the hair on your head?

Does anyone here even care to follow the NBA anymore?
Do you now root for the Blazers? OK Thunder? I personally hate the NBA, and did long before the Sonics left, but now the NBA is less than a blip on my radar. In fact, last night while watching Sportcenter, they reported on a game, and I thought to myself, “oh, I guess basketball season has started.”
That said, college basketball is great, and I plan on following the Cougs to the Final Four.

I was a big NBA fan back in the mid 90s (who wasn't when the Sonics were good?)
and watched it regularly until about 2000 or so when it just completely lost appeal for me. I don’t know exactly what it was. Maybe it was Gary Payton bitching, or Vin Baker whining, but I just didn’t care about it anymore.
by Phildopip on Oct 10, 2008 9:31 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
i was never a gary Payton fan.
While I recognized his level of talent, he was a bitch. Always had his mouth open. However, his seemingly earnest help in fighting to keep the Sonics in Seattle was a small booster in respect.

I nearly wet myself after watching the highlights from the Blazer's first preseason game.
Greg Oden needs to get in game shape after being down for a year, but that guy is unstoppable under the basket, he was dunking when there were three guys trying to stop him and getting tons of rebounds.
Rudy Fernandez was also crazy, doing insane passes and taking alley-oops from Sergio. God, I can’t wait.

We played a show at this shitty dive bar in Aberdeen one night, and all of these scary white trash and logger people were playing pull tabs. The prizes?

Bowie knife to the winner of one of the pull-tab games.
I’ve never seen someone actually win it, and the same knife (I think) has been hanging above the tab bins for years.
At the same bar, another prize is this hilarious “Mariner” jersey, that features no common elements with the actual M’s jersey. Haven’t seen it in a while, but it was grey and teal (a different teal) and said “Seattle” in a strange cursive font. It’s like they wanted to get close to the real one, then worried about copyright infringement, and so settled on a ‘safe’ alternative. Inspired by a genuine MLB color scheme! It’s a baseball jersey, featuring this Seattle logo!

It doesn't take too long
Especially when you realize that teams tend to move in bands:
Band 1: Chelsea, ManUre, Liverpool, Arsenal
Band 2: Villa, Spurs (usually, this year being an exception), West Ham, Everton, Man City, Blackburn, whoever else
Band 3: The three newly promoted team plus one or two that rotate every year (this year it’s Spurs and Newcastle)
Generally speaking, teams stay within their bands; at the end of this season, Arsenal may well drop into Band 2. Hopefully Spurs can pull themselves out of this mess, they really don’t deserve to be relegated, but we shall see.

because most English people do not consider themselves part of Europe. I think the phrase “That’s why we have an English Channel” came up a few times.
It should also be noted that the person with whom I had this conversation also started, as an adjunct, ranting about the French (it’s pretty much reflexive). While we were driving around Wales in his brand new Peugeot. When I pointed this out, his wife laughed at him for about 10 minutes. it was awesome.

Oh, man, I'm a sucker for that song.
I haven’t heard Krall’s cover of it.

Funny story about this song
It was so lounge-y Billy Joel’s saxophonist and drummer refused to record it. Billy had to go hire a drummer and jazz alto saxophonist Phil Woods to record the album cut.

Nice version.
This song is one of my favorites to sing at karaoke.

Have you heard Diana Krall's live-in-Paris recording of Devil May Care?

I had no idea she had those kind of keyboard chops
until I heard that particular live recording.

Most women prefer the guitar; I think because it is portable.
But I love piano and voice and the true love of my life is a piano playing musician.

You haven't heard the power grand patch on this thing.
(Although I totally understand where you’re coming from, I’d rather play a real piano)

It's just not the same, and it wouldn't really win over the ladies.

You just want to lie down on top of a grand piano while some guy is playing Arthur's Theme by Christopher Cross.

Why so opposed to synthesizers, then?
Sometimes an e-piano patch sounds great with a song.

By the way, check BierGarten on my friends list (it’s the first one) if you want to hear some songs from a cover band I had a few years ago. We weren’t very good, but we sure had fun.

The locals went insane whenever we played Dead or Alive. Not one of my favortie songs, but having the crowd go wild totally made it worth it.

There are few things better than having a crowd absolutely go apeshit for you.

you joke but that's actually a great idea
if you’re young enough to ride it out for 5 years, buy as much stock now – in ANYTHING – as you can get your hands on.
