Off Topic (includes Sunday Stuff) Falls on Central Time Zone Again

Nolamarinergirl1_tiny by NOLAmarinergirl on

I have less than six hours til I get to leave for vacation.   I need this time to go by swiftly.

And hey, the Mariners are fun this week.  Should we all do a simultaneous dance to AC/DC?

LL is meeting up on Sunday to watch Dickey take on Jackson at 1:10 PM.  This is an informal meetup.  Get your own tickets people, your own tickets.  If you would like, some are meeting by the Budweiser stand near the Center Field entrance (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) at...top of the second?  Third?  I need guidance here.  I don't know when people can start trying to get seats together. 

Everyone wear a nametag.  And find a friend.  One of you carries Carl Everett on a stick.  The other an inflatable plastic dino.  Your instructions are here http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/8/5/587541/8-5-open-game-thread#7905130

We shall rule the world.

Meet by the bullpens

They’re far easier to find.

by Gomez on Aug 8, 2008 8:21 AM PDT   0 recs

Except it was a question of people being there before the game.

But others can meet there if they’d like.

Finally, some recognition.

Do we know anybody who works in a print shop?

Because printing faces like that can get pretty expensive.

What exactly are you trying to get done?

I am a print salesman, but you only have 5 hours to get something done before I am off for the weekend.

Well, how many?

Also someone needs to create a High Res PDF and email it to me. Then we need to figure out how I am getting them to you.

How about someone in an office building with free access to color printers/copiers?

Then all you’d need are paint stirring sticks (free from Home Depot!) and a laminator. We did this for my buddy’s bachelor party a few weeks back, everyone had faces of his bride-to-be that we surprised him with.

Softball on SATURDAY

Let’s get a full 10 vs 10 squad!

Only 9 more days until the Premiership starts.

Things are looking up. And no, the Charity Community Shield doesn’t count.

E football sucks.

Incorrect.

I actually like soccer.

I was trying to make a play on NOLA’s “a football” comments yesterday.

I felt it well done.

Finally, some recognition.

I'm not very bright

that went whoooooooosh. Ah well.

But before that... we need to discuss last night's final game in the Portland/Seattle USL rivalry

1-0 to the champs! Sounders!

I went to the game and drove home afterwards, so I’m incredibly tired today.
Went to the bitter end before hand and had an entire bar singing unprintable songs to my friends and I.
Timbers Army folks were still pretty cool about it, though. I don’t mind having an entire bar to tell me to fuck off if they do it in style. My friends did have beer thrown on them at the game, which was less cool.

Was gonna go, but my wife got a migraine

so I fed her soup instead. I’m glad Seattle won – I’ve never been able to be a Timbers fan, even though I go to a bunch of games…and, next time, the Matador’s a better bar than the Bitter End.

Huh. I liked the Bitter End - good atmosphere for a game

even if it was all hard-core Timbers folks. Getting told to fuck off was kind of fun, but it really kicks it up a notch when you’re told to fuck off and then a big guy starts up a chainsaw.
Still, I thought the place was OK. What’s the Matador like?

by marc w on Aug 8, 2008 11:56 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Better, less hippies, not as soccer-y

the less-soccery of which on game night may not be exactly what you’re looking for, but one of the main reasons I don’t ever see myself being a Timbers fan is the douchiness level of the Timbers Army, so I tend to avoid the Bitter End.

Lousy hippies need to cut their hair and take a shower.

Now Johnny Unitas … there’s a haircut you can set your watch to.

Nobody likes a goddamn hippie

and yet I live in Portland. IRONY!

Sweet, I just watched it on FSC. Couldn't convince anyone else to make the 3 hour drive to get yelled at for 90 minutes

But I did just get to chat with Ciaran O’Brien for 10 minutes or so, so it’s all good

by Nick S on Aug 8, 2008 12:41 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I really want to see a replay of that game...

how did the red card look on TV? Harsh, fair, out of nowhere?

by marc w on Aug 8, 2008 4:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

This is slow for a friday off topic thread.

Beer time?

Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron is really good. Quite dark for a strong ale.

by Matthew on Aug 8, 2008 10:43 AM PDT   0 recs

Beer discussions make me realize just how much this area is lacking.

Half the time y’all say you can get them at Whole Foods or Cost Plus…unfortunately, not the ones in my area.

Finally, some recognition.

Green Lakes amber by deschutes

was quite good.
I had this year’s Anderson Valley summer solstice, which was good, but somehow not as good as previous years (unlike their winter ale this year, which was their best one that I’ve had).
Also tried the Abner Weed from Mt. Shasta Brewing, which is maybe a B, B-. Not great, but just kind of unremarkable.
Finally, the Rogue casked ESB ‘Billy’ – all in all, a bit of a let-down. This should’ve been perfect. Smooth as all get-out, and true to style, but I need some bitter in an ESB. As it was, I enjoyed the fact that it was sort of thirst quenching on a hot night, but that’s not really what I was going for in a casked dark ale.

by marc w on Aug 8, 2008 11:35 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Seems like ESB's are rarely bitter enough.

I found out yesterday that a co-worker of my dad’s is among the best friends of one of the owners of Rogue Brewing.

This is one reason I enjoy Hale's Moss Bay Extra

There’s more to it. Not super bitter, but that’s fine.

I keep waiting to be tired of Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA.

Hasn’t happened yet. Favorite new beer of the summer.

I do

And the answer is “No, he wouldn’t”

How do we keep him from seeing it?

None of actually think RRS is going to be a great starter.

We think he’ll be decent. Jarrod Washburn-like without the contract.

by Matthew on Aug 8, 2008 11:08 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't know

After many bad experiences with Washburn, I wouldn’t be too happy is that is all that RRS turns out to be. I do remember Dave comparing him to a reliever version of Washburn last year, so maybe its inevitable.

So if you had to compare to Morrow, who do you think he will turn out to be like, or is there not a big enough SS yet?

JI/Robert '08!

by Fin on Aug 8, 2008 11:17 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Washburn is adequate.

Morrow is a giant unknown at this point. Much higher ceiling, much more raw.
