The On-Topic TagPost of the Day (LL Awards edition)

Tiny by seattlebruin on

In honor of the merciful end to the Mariners season, it's occurred to me that we should have some LL awards, complete with Academy-style voting on each one, and terrible, tearful acceptance speeches. Let's use this FanPost to put up nominees for each award (and whatever the hell else you people want to talk about). I figured we could at least have the following

Rookie of the Year

Commenter of the Year

Poster of the Year

Most Improved Commenter

Visiting Fan of the Year

Troll of the Year

Best FanPost

Best Thread or SubThread

Best FrontPage Post

Best Gamethread

Best Comment (non-image)

Best Comment (images permitted)

Beer of the Year

Best Pun (non-LaHair)

Meme of the Year (dead)

Meme of the Year (not so dead)

Best Tagger

Best Tag


Lastly, I leave you with this, even though I posted it yesterday, it's much too funny to not post again

Fantastic new beer of the week

Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar. May not be a new beer, but it was new to me. It’s awesome.

I keep thinking about picking this one up, but I will get one today.

Has anyone tried their rum or gin? I see it at the Saturday Market under the Burnside Bridge here in Portland, but haven’t bought it yet. My wife loves rum, but hasn’t been drinking during the past 40 or so weeks. She’ll be able to in the next month and I wanted to get her a quality rum as a gift. Is Rouge worth it or should I go with something else?

Never had the rum

but the gin is actually quite tasty, and I’ve heard good things about the rum.

The Gin is good, provided you know what you're getting

if you want ultra-dry, clean-tasting gin then it may not be your deal. If you can accept a fruity notes standing toe to toe with the juniper ones, give it a try.

The UK TV baseball presenters recently visited Seattle.

They go on a roadtrip every year. This year it was LAA/SEA/TEX. They didn’t really like Safeco, instead preferring LAA because they didn’t like the roof at Safeco and thought it was clostrophobic. Whatever…

 That said, they had great things to say for the organisation and how hospitable they were. They loved Raul and RR-S and also Dickey. Cudos to the M’s for looking after the UK crew and in the process getting some nice PR on this side of the pond.

The Ichiroll scored an 8/10 in the traditional “ballpark food” segment.

It drives my friends crazy that I seldom answer my phone.

I hate talking on the phone, I’ve always hated talking on the phone, and I’d much rather listen to a voicemail and decide if I need to call someone back or can just answer by text/ignore the call entirely. The only way I can enjoy having a cell phone is by setting limits on its use.

Call me—if I see your missed call and I can call you back, I will. I don’t need a voice mail saying “Hey, this is so-and-so, just wondering how you were, call me.”
And if you have a question, for God’s sake text me. It cuts down on the bullshit.

I’ve always hated talking on the phone, and the sound of a phone ringing still pisses me off. It’s one reason I don’t mind the proliferation of ring tones, because at least I don’t hear the old-skool phone ring as much anymore.

This is a weird article

Rosenthal argues that the save stat is inherently flawed, and that closers are overrated, yet finishes by saying that the save is the ultimate closer stat. Huh?

Okay, I'm putting this in your hands.

Some woman just parked her car and walked out of our parking lot and towards one of the many condos up the street. I’m thinking of towing her.

Reasons for:

Parked across portions of TWO 20-minute parking spots; has been there for 30 minutes. There are numerous non-20-minute spots she could have parked in.

Talking on her cell while driving.

Wearing flip flops.

Quite obviously not a customer of any business in the complex.

Reasons against:

Is the only car parked in 20-minute spots, and I’ve had one customer all day.

She looked like a mega bitch and would probably flip out if I have her towed.

J.K.L.

I'll shut up lest you ban me like you banned butthol.

I vote for not

just because someone looks like a bitch and does bitchy things doesn’t mean they deserve the hassle of getting their car back from the impound lot unless she does something specifically to you/your store

by seattlebruin on Sep 9, 2008 1:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

Except she did, by parking in one of our dedicated 20 minute spots.

This is a parking lot that part of our rent goes towards, and that we pay to have maintained. There’s street parking; she just didn’t want to look for it. Fuck that; it’s part of living in a city.

If I see her, I'll tell her myself. Chances are I won't.

Also, parking in this city is at a premium. I don’t really feel the need to be nice to people who think they’re more important than everyone else.

by Aaron Campeau on Sep 9, 2008 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, just have her towed or don't

She won’t come back to read it before it matters anyway.

by Gomez on Sep 9, 2008 1:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

She won't forget that, that's for sure

It’d be worth the risk of her flipping out. She may stomp in and cunt it up, but she’ll never do it again.

by Gomez on Sep 9, 2008 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

This is my logic.

I would much rather deal with an angry person once than have to cope with her when she realizes she “got away with one” and starts parking there a lot. And telling her friends to do it.

If she reads the note, she'll think she got away with it anyway.

It will only encourage her bitchiness. Plus the ‘look’. Coupled with the flip-flops, she’s backed you into a corner. If she gives you a rafter load of crap, don’t say anything, just look at her like you’re a deaf mute and point to the sign.

True, but I must be considerate, so....

Interesting malty character; the addition of smoked malt really gave it a rauchbier edge, but without all of the messy ‘oh shit, I’m drinking an ash tray’- nature of actually drinking rauchbier.

Decent stuff, which is good considering their bitter was terrible. I liked this.

I love hops.

I’m a bigger IPA fan than most others I know. Kiltlifter is about 1,000x better on tap, too; I don’t much care for it in the bottle. It can’t touch Kettlehouse Cold Smoke Scotch Ale, though; I will find a way to get that beer carried somewhere in Seattle.

If you like hops, definitely try the i-squared

we went to the brewpub last night and they gave us a free taster of it. It’s not currently listed on their website, which is odd…I’ll check into it, which means of course I gotta go back to the pub. Damn.
