OTFPOTD: Welcome to Scrappy's, 9/17/08

Hey!

Welcome to Scrappy's; make yourself at home - we just busted a keg of Dead Guy open (we like local beers), and someone will be by soon in case you need anything at all. Happy hour and half price appetizers run through 8:30.

Wander around and check the place out - we've got pool tables in the back, and an open air patio on the top floor, along with a lounge where we'll have some live entertainment later tonight - I think Mr. Ayala said he'd be in around 9 or so (torches and pitchforks located behind the bar).

If there's something you want to watch, feel free to change the channel - we've got MLB Extra Innings, NFL Sunday Ticket, ESPN GamePlan for hoops and football... and of course MTV. We also have CSPANsqrt(x) - right now they're broadcasting a special on the PRC's invasion of Arizona.

Anyway, welcome to Scrappy's. Stay, have a few drinks, and have a good time, but please, please don't drive yourself home. Designated drivers save lives!

Hearts,

 The Management

(p.s. we're still looking for investors)

(p.p.s. update the LL Wiki)

They used to beat Memphis like a drum in basketball every year.

There were a few years that losing to Tulane was what kept Memphis out of the tournament. They were the first team to make me cry as a child. Fuck Tulane.

I may be able to make an exception

but only if you prove that you’re not as douchey as most Duck fans; your presence here goes a long way towards that.

I’ve just had my fill of douchebag Duck fans; I didn’t even go to a pac-10 school, so it’s not like they’re rivals. I just can’t stand most of the Duck fans that I see hanging out in Portland.

I just don't get where that comes from.

It’s not like the U of O is in a big city, or it’s a historically successful sports program, or is a nationally known academic institution; why do most of the Duck fans I meet (especially the younger ones) have that snotty attitude all the time? Is it one of those “big fish small pond” things?

They've had a lot of success over the last few years.

They're far from elite

Elite might be too strong.

They’re Top 25 every year and top 10 fairly often, which is still pretty damned impressive.

Not in the top 10 consistently enough

to be elite. They have only been a serious MNC contender twice this decade.

Only one outright conference championship this decade and one shared title.

They’re a second rung school, not among the sports elite yet.

I really get annoyed

at all the people in SoCal who root for either ucla or USC and didn’t attend either. I mean I guess I understand it but a lot of these people tend to be classless and reflect poorly on both universities.

I don’t think it’s so bad in other major cities with a big university (like Seattle) because the locals just root for the Huskies – they don’t mix and match hated rivals

I’m not good at math. Mostly it has been a stretch of summer where we had something going on every night, which is kinda fun but also mildly irritating because it left no time to see movies; it’s slowing down now so hopefully we can get caught up.

Also, Pandora's better than launchcast in that they eventually wise up and stop playing certain bands

Launchcast would throw some craptacular mainstream stuff at you that had nothing to do with your interests, just to get it on everyone’s radar. While listening a long time back, I was once force fed “Shake Your Bon Bon” by William Hung.

KEXP is so good.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

Aisde from the specialty programming

I have yet to figure out why everyone is so in love with KEXP.

Wait, that says can't.

Shakin’ the Shack is okay sometimes, but it favors the super cheesy rockabily that I can’t stand.

Both shows feature cheesy shit.

And what’s with that gal calling herself Quilty 2000, or whatever? Sounds like a roll of thewyrm’s hoarded toilet paper.

My mom likes Shakin' with the Shack

I never got into their reggae show despite my love of ska and reggae.

I haven't listened to KEXP in awhile

but there was a period last year where not a day would go by that I didn’t hear at least one group I hadn’t heard before whose album I ended up wanting.

Specialty shows, mostly

When they were KCMU they were awesome, and the first few years of KEXP they were fantastic. Now they’re mildly annoying, but I love love LOVE swingin’ doors and shake the shack.

Because they're better than the Beatles and deserved to be heard by everybody.

Hell, they’re better than fucking Beethoven and Mozart combined.

They make Beethoven look like Richard Cheese

and they make Mozart look like the Wrigley Field organist.
