Why not go to the dump instead?

Bigger selection, same quality, and you may meet some hot chicks there.

Sorry if I offended anyone in that last subthread.

I’m a little blunt sometimes (obviously).

by LantermanC on Jul 7, 2008 8:51 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yep.

I wish we would’ve made a more serious run at him. Looking back, Silva was the only pticher I didn’t care for, and we paid him big time.

Judging by things people say around here...

I’d be surprised if they had spent more than 5 minutes with a girl

I hear self confidence is all you need.

Not sure how true it is, but it’s something that gets repeated a lot.

by LantermanC on Jul 7, 2008 9:15 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

But everyone knows that's a good idea

How the hell are you supposed to meet the girl during a movie? And if you don’t know her at all if she’s the kind of girl you want anything to do with you won’t be able to make any moves

Movies are way pointless

Self confidence is good...

but you also need to be less concerned with whether or not they are trying to hide their stomach

by pakipaki on Jul 7, 2008 9:17 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd be more concerned with the fact

that she was posting on craiglist in the first place. We all know what kind of weirdo responses you can get.

We had a rooster in our backyard who'd

go apeshit on you if you went anywhere near the hens or the eggs. But I guess that’s to be expected, no one expects a parakeet to bit your ear though.

My parrot imitates my moms voice

calls me down stairs at 6:15 every morning, Then as soon as I see it was just the fucking bird she makes a laughing noise and bobs her head

My parrot is dead.

Deceased.
No longer among the living.
Passed on.
Gave up the ghost.

Didn't one of the guys in Marilyn Manson play one of those?

I thought it was tough to be scary with a hand held synthesizer.

I know it's dumb and irrational

but I kind of hope we just spend a stupid amount of money and get Tex and Sheets. They’ll be overpaid, but at least they’re not Silva/Washburn/Sexy

I am that one.

Though I did go to Seattle 3x over this past 4 day weekend. However, I made my mom drive me so I could read Dean Koontz and Ha Jin books.

by LantermanC on Jul 7, 2008 9:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just saying, I get around.

I have been to the big city. Though after softbal a week ago, I couldn’t find a restaurant 5 blocks away, so my sens of direction is definitely not there.

No car, less insurance costs.

That’s cool, if you’re ever playing in Seattle, post it up so we can have an ‘LL watch BrianL play’ night.

the thing has become weird?

Maybe just a quick stint to the minors will help.

I used to read damn near every comment around here. Now it just kinda blurs together. Maybe I need to take a break. Stick to the main page for a while.

If I find nothing of interest in the first few comments, I skip ahead.

I usually just search for "corco" "craigslist" and various other key words

if none of those show up I don’t even bother

Oh if it's a baseball related thread

I enjoy reading that. But those just don’t come up in Game Threads unfortunately so I don’t even bother trying

I've actually been thinking about this for a while to be honest.

I’ve been here either daily, or every other day, or every other other day for 3 straight years. 22,000+ comments. That’s a lot. This place is awesome and you guys are fun, but sometimes yeah just need to take a sabbatical.

Isn’t it JI that’s coming up on me for All Time Comment Leader? Well here’s your chance. Make good use of it while you can.

I already passed you

I blame the lively balls and smaller parks.

If needed, a sabbatical is fine

But definitely come back.

FWIW, I disappear myself from game threads for a few days at a time sometimes. They are such a train wreck of WTF these days that time away ain’t so bad. Obviously I’m still here everyday and I still read the recaps and other main stories, but the present day GTE is quite a bit of nonsense. Funny nonsense sometimes, but nonsense nonetheless.

But no, really, take some time off if you need to, and come back soon.

And yeah, DRB was nuts tonight, but the threads have been nutbar-ing quite a bit lately.
