OFFTOP of the Moment 10.07.02008
Let's all take a moment and celebrate: THERE ARE NO MORE ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Now if the Dodgers could just go down...
Now, some topics to keep us off-topic:
♥Why the hell can I not win at Pathwords?
♥Cars with parental controls--thoughts?
♥This scares the shit out of me
♥Will this help sb or just confuse him more?
♥Fuck my legs--how do I stop from hurting for days after playing soccer?
♥What are you reading right now, and how many books (that you actually own) are in your queue?
♥Speaking of sexy, apparently women want it all.

I thought that tag said "Brians are also sexy" and was confused

This suggestion is terrible.
I don’t go for significantly older women.

I'm disappointed that this was the best you could come up with.

Honestly, I left that wide open.
It’s like you just fouled off a pitch right down the center.

That should not read as an enticement to try to do better.

I think people were surprised by the use of the word "doodle"
and the tone that it sets. You’re not normally Ned Flanders.

The only way to not have your legs hurt
after you play soccer is to play soccer more. Then your muscles will be conditioned and you won’t get sore. Other than that you’re fucked.

When my legs ache
I like to put them up in the air. I put my legs in the air and then scoot my butt against the wall making a ‘L’ against the wall. I lay like that for a few minutes, letting the blood get out of my legs. Then after a few minutes I bring my legs down and lay flat, sort of shaking my legs out. I find this method helps a bit with muscle ache.

Mmmhmm
The only other things you could do is A) really stretch, for maybe 20-25 minutes. The kind of stretching that sucks, like it’s borderline painful. It actually really helps, if you can deal with the pain. B) get one of those hard massages. But those are effing painful. I hate that stuff.

Heating my legs before I go cycling works wonders for me.
Hot water bottle is a quick one, or if I have time a heat pad. Especially for my knees and quads, works great. I’ve never played soccer so I’m not sure if it would help with all the start/stopping action.

And I'm reading
My Losing Season by Pat Conroy. I’ve already read it, but it’s one of my top 2 books.
Next time I’ll make a big response instead of several individual ones. Cause now I feel like a jackass.

I don't need to post it every ten seconds
maybe I’ll toss up a graph later.
Or, more specifically, make a graph, get someone else to host it for me, and then post it

No thanks.
I’d like the O-Line to give me more than a half-second to make a decision in the pocket.

Not the most exciting place,
but there are worse places to go to college. Pullman is pretty damn fun during the school year, at least in my experiences.

Corco is in Tacoma so you're likely closer to him now than you would be there.

This is a fair point.
Plus you’re a guy, I don’t think Corco would go for you.

I'm surprised you made it half a season without him telling you you're a massive douche
and not realizing the incredible irony of it all

We could have made it a whole season

The writers want to introduce me as Robert's comic foil
then give me a spin-off show next season.
I hope I get a cool theme song.

I was born in Idaho so it's awesome.
Seriously, though, Pullman’s not a bad place to live at all.

Hell, D1 anything
my roommate was a track guy (not even one of the stars or anything) and he’s got an entire closet full of unopened UCLA branded adidas stuff

That's sweet.
I mean, I got quite a bit of stuff (a full athletic duffel bag every year plus a couple warm-up suits) but not quite like the PAC-10, Big East and ACC guys I know got.

They don't have someone on the team that's remotely passable enough to be the emergency quarterback?

Everyone's hurt and if the guy is just going to run the scout team, it's a waste to make an otherwise potentially useful player prepare to be the scout team QB
it’s not like this guy will get a scholarship or anything

I just finished "A Well Paid Slave" which is a book about Curt Flood.
Currently, I’m reading “Foul Ball” which is written by Jim Bouton (of “Foul Ball” fame). It’s about his efforts to save an old ballpark.
The next book I’m (finally) going to read is “Ulysses” by James Joyce. It’s a book I’ve been meaning to read since high school, but I tend to read a lot more non-fiction than fiction, so it’s been put on the back burner for too long. I’ve never read a Jim Joyce book, and I’m going to finally be able to satisfy my curiosity about him.

"A Well Paid Slave"

I did too.
I didn’t know much about Curt Flood the man before reading this book. I only knew about Curt Flood the symbol.

Same as me. It was all before I was born
so I didn’d experience it. But man, that guy made some serious sacrafices for today’s ballplayers.

Speaking of Jim Bouton, I have no idea how to pronounce his name correctly.
Is it “boo-ton” or “bow-ton” (as in the bow of a ship, not a bow tie)

I think it's Boo-ton
But I’m not sure why I believe that.

It's Boo-tawn, actually
