Off Topic 2/25 - Hello, Beautiful
The first Spring Training game, M's vs Padres, is on the radio today at 12:05. Will Dave be in the broadcasting booth? If so - I'm all over that action, my friends. I suppose I'm all over that action regardless - I've missed baseball. KIRO 710.
Suggested Topics:
What would you name your backing band? I'd name mine The Kerfuffles.
Have you invented any recipes? If so, please tell us about them.
What did the most recent text message you receieved say? Mine said "enough already."
What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? I have had, on more than one occasion, Rocky mountain oysters. They are chewy, as you'd imagine, and I don't expect I'll have them again.
Have at it, lovelies.

If you're talking about COD,
I had a run of three games last night where I went something like 7-36. That’s when I decided it was time to stop playing.

I'm not fat but I would eat most of those foods.
People tend to scoff when I eat cinnamon rolls slathered in chili.
Or when I try to force a PB&J cheeseburger on people. Take a regular cheeseburger then put peanut butter and jalapeno jelly on it. Liberally add ketchup and mustard. If you are awesome then you add three slices of bacon.
Almost all of that looks incredible. Especially the bacon-wrapped meatloaf with mac 'n cheese.

My backing band would either be called the Sucking Chest Wounds or the Suppurating Buboes.
I have never really invented a recipe, but I have stolen others and personalized them, like the carne seca.
The most recent text message I received contained one word: COCKFOSTERS.
Weirdest thing I’ve ever eaten? Scorpion.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
My favorite thing about the London Tube is the scrolling digital message: "this train is for Cockfosters"
Scorpion?! Holy crap!
My wife's first trip to London was our honeymoon
and I purposely didn’t tell her about that because I wanted to see her reaction – I laughed out loud when I heard it the first time, every American tourist probably does (at least those of us with the mentality of a 12 year old). We were taking the tube from Heathrow to where we were staying, which is on the Piccadilly line. And all of a sudden, the voice came on the speaker saying “this is a Piccadilly Line train to Cockfosters” and my poor, jetlagged wife almost fell out of her seat she was laughing so hard. So now, every once in a while, we just text each other the word COCKFOSTERS.
I ate scorpion on one of my trips to Arizona. I would not recommend it.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I dare anyone not to giggle at Cockfosters.
Especially paired with the word Piccadilly.
Yeah, that scorpion business sounds … crunchy.
It was, and not particularly pleasant either
like a mini-lobster, but without the good flavor.

Band name would be The Randoms.

I had frog legs, and wasn't that into them.
They weren’t horrible, but listen, if you’re going to taste fishy, taste fishy. If you’re going to taste a little like chicken, do so. But NOT BOTH. Commit, damn it.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
Frogs can't decide whether they want to live in the water or on land,
so it makes sense they can’t decide what they want to taste like.
My band would be called the Rhyming Assholes
We would never rhyme.
I’ve perfected the ciabatta, kettle chip, BBQ sauce, and pastrami sandwich if that counts. But people tell me that it doesn’t so whatever.
My most recent text says ‘Comrie! 3-1!’
I don’t even know what half the stuff I’ve eaten in Malaysia is so probably one of those.
that actually sounds like a really good sandwich
what flavor of kettle chips?
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
that definitely sounds like a good sandwich

Brown sauce is an acceptable substitute for everything

My backing band would be Clem and The Honkeys featuring Clem and The Honkeys from Clem and The Honkeys
And they would play grindcore bluegrass.
My last text message reads “And to give ;)”
I can’t really think of anything weird I’ve eaten, but I’ve killed animals while hunting and eaten them and few here have done that, so there you go

Bahahaha, grindcore bluegrass.
I can just imagine quadruple kick triggers combined with slide guitar and fiddle.
And oh those harmonies mixed with screaming/growling.

And don’t forget the banjo. I picture this as a 6+ person backing band though, which may get complicated

Weirdest food: I once tried fish sticks.

The best band name I can think of at the moment is 5.15
because it’s a Who reference, an Albert Pujols reference, and a Jim Edmonds reference all in one.
That wikipedia entry on bull testicles is quite accurate.
It is true that in Canada they’re usually served in a demi-glace rather than deep fried.

Thanks for the offer, but I myself am spoken for.
Also, Robert has my phone number, so that accounts for some decent texting.
While I'm at it, the rest of my answers...
Backing band – The Fistulas
Weirdest thing I’ve eaten – Alligator. It’s like a mix between chicken and cod, and not necessarily in a good way.
Recipe invention? Hoisin / Serrano Tilapia. Yum.
The mere thought of that makes we want to hurl,
and that doesn’t have anything to do with the many beers I drank last night.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
It doesn't sound that bad....
Cod is so bland for fish, and chicken is, well, chicken. Sounds like bland blandness, but it might be nice in a tangy sauce.
Chickod.. no, Chod. Panko-breaded Chod strips with a honey/cholula/lime dipping sauce of some sort.
Still, fishy chicken just sounds nasty.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
In my opinion, cod suffers from a lack of natural flavor.
Fish like basa or salmon carry their own wonderful tastes, and swordfish or halibut pick up flavor pretty easily.
Gator has the texture of denser cod with half of that fishy flavor. It’s just not very good.
I had cajun alligator in Alabama once
and it was fantastic.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
There's a good Cajun place here in San Diego that serves "gator bites."
Basically deep-fried alligator nuggets. They’re fantastic.
This is exactly what I had
and yeah, they’re pretty great.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I liked alligator a lot.
It is sorta of a common thing to eat down in Florida and I had it about once a month at a friend’s house.
I'm so happy that baseball is back, especially against our hated natural rivals.
That race for Strasburg last year really kicked that whole battle up a notch or two.
As far as the topic questions are concerned:
What would you name your backing band?
The Symaltropa…why? Because people love a mystery.
This is Why You Are Fat.
Deep fried Oreos oh my God…I think I just found a way to love those again.
Have you invented any recipes? If so, please tell us about them.
Sadly, nothing worth repeating here.
What did the most recent text message you receieved say? Mine said “enough already.”
“If you count Muffy the transient crackwhore who comes in every Saturday night, then yes.”
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? I have had, on more than one occasion, Rocky mountain oysters. They are chewy, as you’d imagine, and I don’t expect I’ll have them again.
Oh…probably alligator jerky. Predictably, it tasted as if the meat had been saturated in a swamp prior to being served. Runner-up: Dog.
Yeah...but in my defense I didn't order anticipating dog.
It was at a Thai restaurant in Reynosa (first mistake, eating Asian food in Mexico).
I ordered the carne de vaca en salsa cacahuete or something along those lines, expecting beef strips in peanut sauce.
As we all know, smell is strongly linked to taste, and what came to my table smelled like my recently deceased golden retriever Buddy. I tried it anyway, ignoring the smell…it was ummistakablely not beef.
I didn’t eat anymore, but yes, I did take a doggy bag to go.
Anyone else have a cold?
I hate being sick, but it is even worse when I have work to do.
Last text, “Final rosters for the World Baseball Classic have been unveiled. Check out MLB.com for who will competing from March 5-23”
Since most of the people I spend time with have Blackberrys or Iphones I rarely get text anymore.
I am no longer in Spokane, but I think I'll keep the name anyway.
I've been sick for the better part of this month.
I hate February, always cold around here, everyone gets ill, easily the worst month in sports, half of the people I talk to seem to have some form of seasonal depressive disorder…
…thankfully it’s the shortest month of the year, and March is, by contrast, quite marvelous.
My entire floor is sick as hell
and I’m trying desperately to avoid contact with everyone here so I don’t get it.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
The cold and flu bugs seemed to catch 90% of Olympia.
I feel fortunate to have only caught the cold, as opposed to the flu, which looked really, really nasty.
I think all flu is really nasty.
I am no longer in Spokane, but I think I'll keep the name anyway.
I can't top 'The Kerfuffles'
It’s like “the Commotions” but more English/twee. Well played.
I don’t know, maybe “and his Schadenfreunds”
Had Alligator; my comments would echo the comments on alligator elsewhere in this thread. Like Graham, I’ve had a bunch of street food in Malaysia. Most of it was sold as chicken, but…. who knows.
The ‘last’ text message on my phone is several weeks old. I must keep deleting the new ones as the memory’s full.
I don’t think messing around in the kitchen really counts as inventing a recipe; I could come sort of close to repeating some dishes I like, but I never do anything precise. I used to have one dish of chicken kabobs in a coriander crust with tons of lemon, but that’s not really a recipe (it’s simply taking two ingredients you like and overusing them).
I really have no idea why they limit message storage on phones now that onboard storage is starting at ~512mb.
Soriano into deep right, Ichiro back, at the wall...Yankees win!
Mine has no storage limit
As such, I forget to delete any. Seeing this comment made me check, and I have over 500 messages at the moment. Mark all; Delete

Andy Richter's going to be his announcer!
This is awesome.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
But Andy Richter's still funny as is Conan
so there’s that.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
It certainly beats Kevin Eubanks and the Empty Suits.
That’s his band name right?
Entirely different levels of funny
But I suppose I could go as far to say that Richter is occasionally entertaining.
It was quite funny.
He’s a great foil for Conan – unlike Ed McMahon, Andy was allowed to do his own stuff and didn’t just have a series of rote responses he had to give.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I was never in that camp
but I think Andy Richter added something pretty fun to the show and I’m glad to see he’s back in the fold.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Yeah, this is perfect.
I don’t know if I’d want him back as a full-time sidekick, because that just seems way too gimmicky, but having him around to do some stuff will be awesome.
Conan definitely held his own without Andy, but you know he missed him. And Andy’s career never really took off despite being in some funny TV shows. So this is probably the best for everyone. Including us.
He promised not to "grow up" during his last show
Honestly, Conan’s just as popular as Leno and Letterman, he doesn’t need the Tonight Show, I doubt he’d agree to do a bastardized version of his program.
That's what I expect from him
I can’t imagine he’d change his humor style just because he was going to be seen by more people, and I can’t see him agreeing to the change without having a say in what he does

I have eaten many exotic animals at the Korthaus
including yak, camel, kangaroo, bear and others. I always ask for the normal bun, as I don’t care for the english-muffin style bun they use with exotic meats. But really, the tots steal the show there.
Oh yeah! Forgot about the Korthaus.
Again, is its proximity to Woodland Park zoo coincidence or business opportunity?
There's one way to find out. Go to Korthaus after one of the sad "We lost a panda" news stories.
See if Korthaus is serving up Pandamonium Stew.
There may be a mutualism there.
Also, the menu there is freaking hilarious, especially after a few pitchers. The “vegetarian section” is tots, fries, cheese sticks and jalapeno poppers.

“Officer Down and the Got Shot Cops”, but sadly no one ever agreed with me.
Last text received: “word”
Recipes? Almost everything I cook is made up. I was taught to cook at age 8 and I have never owned a cookbook. I recently made my pork ribs.
Rub the ribs with generous amounts of pepper, ground fennel, dry mustard and rosemary. Slow cook in beer until they get a bit soft. Flash cook the outside of the ribs on a grill to make the outside crispy. Apply bbq sauce of choice and enjoy.
Or for breakfast try green eggs. Chop up broccoli heads very fine. Chop up an avocado. Scramble some eggs and just as they start to harden add the broccoli, avocado and some shredded swiss. I usually cover this with green hot sauce too. Goes really well with sausage links slow cooked in maple syrup. Real maple syrup, not that fake shit.

Computer advice question here
I’m looking to buy a netbook, and I need it before a trip in mid March. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Lenovo S10. The battery life doesn’t bother me, as I don’t need something for more than a few hours at a time. My only problem is an issue with the fan, more of which can be read about here.
Should I buy this netbook now and hope that the issue gets patched in a future BIOS? Or should I go with something else? General opinions about Lenovo and their customer service?

I think Dell are awesome. You can usually spin a bit of a deal for money off/extra goodies if you phone them up as well.

Realizing a person you were planning on asking out is taken moments before you ask or asking first and then realizing? And I’m talking an acquaintance here, not a complete stranger.
I’m leaning towards the former at the current moment, because it’s just so crushing to one’s confidence. Some of my friends disagree because the latter is a more awkward.
Thoughts?
Neither. In the former you should still ask them out. They may say yes.
If they do not, you at least asked and will never regret not asking.

My backing band would be called Spaceship of the Imagination.
- Actually I’m pretty sure it’s the beer.
- Most of my culinary successes involve putting spins on established recipes rather than true invention, but I can do magical things with ground turkey.
- The most recent text message I have received said “Major whine-head. Woke me up early, not because she was out of food but didn’t like the food. Wanted to go out, etc. Not a moment’s peace.”
- I don’t eat a lot of weird food; I don’t eat shellfish except in very specific circumstances, I refuse to organs of any kind (except for the pate spread on bahn mi, because I’m not a fucking idiot) and the concept of ingesting an insect makes me vomit in terror. So I suppose it would have to be either reindeer (which was delicious) or dry fish. Dry fish was pretty good but I don’t think I’ll ever eat it again. Had the really sweet Eskimo girl that made it not been really excited for me to try it I probably would have passed. It’s pretty damned fishy tasting and oily as all get out.
You know, I wish I knew how to put together a google map site for LL.
People could point out their favorite places/locations, others could comment, little search tags for restaurants, bars, sports arenas, like that. It would be a really nice thing for vacationers also, especially for people coming from out of town want advice on where to go, what to see. Everybody could put in an itinerary of their own, I spent a couple hours once, putting together a complete itinerary for someone. Routes, ferry schedules, the whole 9 yards; it was actually a lot of fun.
Does Google allow map pages for a group, like I’m talking about?

And it’s even a Friday night. Sweet.

And since it's the first night of the tour I won't smell too bad yet.

That's what I thought.
So TECHNICALLY the tour starts in my fair city?
that will definitely keep the on-the-road expenses down

Indecent exposure tickets are an expense, but well worth it.

Now you're speaking my language.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
Indeed.
Although I’m not sure it counts as being on tour if you sleep in your own bed, but whatevs.

Hey look,
A secret alternate ending to Back to the Future has leaked! As good as this is, I prefer the way the current ending is
I want to poop at your house - Thingray
This has been bugging me all day,
but how is it possible for someone to survive a headshot in COD when I have a sniper rifle with deep imact and increased damage? Yet this is the same person I can stab in the knee and they die instantly.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I should start aiming for the butt.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
They don't
if you had hit them in the head, they would die unless you shot through solid brick or metal, which have the highest stopping damage.
Anything else, you get 70 damage x 1.4 (stopping power) x 2 (headshot) x y (pass-through) which can range anything from 1 to ~.32. Essentially, if you shoot them through anything that has 25% or more damage through and hit them in the head, they’ll die (this is all assuming non-M1 snipers, btw). This includes pretty much everything except solid brick or steel.

I guess my definition of "head shot" isn't the same as theirs then.
I define it as anything from the neck up.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Neck = 1.5x damage modifier, which makes a big difference
There will be several materials you won’t be able to kill through with a shot to the neck.
How do you know you’re scoring headshots through material? It’s very hard to tell where you hit an opponent with a sniper bullet, I only know by whether or not they fall and I have ~2,000 sniper kills.

Looking at that I wonder if the distance had something to do with it.
I never thought about shots doing less damage from farther away, although that makes sense in the real world.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Shots from scoped bolt action (sniper) rifles do 70 damage at all distances
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 3:57 PM PST up reply actions
Maybe I just think I'm hitting them in the head then,
when I’m really a lousy shot.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
You're probably not hitting them in the head
and really, you shouldn’t aim for the head with a sniper rifle, either. Really though, any non-limb hit will kill with non-M1 snipers. What configuration are you using right now (weapon/attachment/perks)?
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 4:26 PM PST up reply actions
Normally I use an MP-40 with an appeture sight, steady aim and juggernaut.
But with a sniper rifle I use deep penetration and extra damage. Can’t remember the gun, maybe a Thompson or something?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Which snipe config, I mean.
Having a scope and not having a scope also makes a big difference. Non-scoped, damage is 50-40. Scoped, damage is 70 at all distances.
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 4:41 PM PST up reply actions
I use a scope.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Yeah, if you have scope + stopping power and you're shooting through air, only a limb hit is non-fatal
it’s hard to tell where you hit enemies, especially at long range.
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 4:48 PM PST up reply actions
(this is assuming that your victim is not a juggernaught)
Juggernaughts when I’m sniping have led to some majestic controller tosses.

When you get the "cross" symbol?
This is what was happening to me over and over with a guy in a tower with a bazooka. I was getting pissed.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Cross kill symbol = headshot, but only on death
the diagonal cross hit indicator comes on whenever you score a hit, no matter where you hit your opponent.
P.S. if you’re still using Springfield, that weapon is known as one of the two with slight inaccuracies while aiming. Arisaka and Mosin-Nagant are considerably better.
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 4:55 PM PST up reply actions
I think I am using the Springfield.
I’ll have to try one of the others. The “cross” I was referring to is just a bright white cross if I remember correctly. But definitely not the skull and crossbones kill symbol.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Yeah, that cross is just a hit indicator. Any hit will trigger that, fatal or not.
The Springfield, as far as I can tell is the worst of the five rifles. Most people claim Arisaka or PTRS is the best due to low idle, but I personally prefer Mosin-Nagant due to it’s clean sight.
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 5:03 PM PST up reply actions
Not the "hit" cross.
a big thik white cross. I think it means the person has juggernaut (or so I’ve been told).
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I wasn't shooting through anything (that I was aware of),
looked like an open window to me (at least it was when I went up there).
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
If you're shooting through air with stopping power, all scoped bolt-actions to the head are one hit kills at all distances
should be one hit kills to the neck as well.
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 3:58 PM PST up reply actions
2,000 sniper kills kicks ass.
I don’t think I have 200.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Is "btw" an acceptable chatspeak term usage?
by seattlebruin on Feb 25, 2009 3:33 PM PST up reply actions
By the way? I've seen that shorthand around for a long time. Same with FWIW (for what its worth)
Does pre-dating chatspeak make a difference? Also, I can’t figure out the IIRO or whatever that one is.
IIRC = If I Recall (or Remember) Correctly

I'm not a big fan of IIRC or IMHO. I consider them tantamount to chatspeak.
To be honest, however, they really are blog comment speak. I still think it’s beneath LL.
IIRC doesn't bug me, but IMHO drives me nuts.

You now have a delivery request for tomorrow.

Somehow I completely missed that part.
Hrm. Maybe I’ll go with something that doesn’t have to stay cold during delivery. Thanks, Fogel.
It is unnecessary, but I will relish at least seeing you, as always.

How about I bring you some bread? I'm making bread in the morning. Will that do?
Everyone should try this bread recipe at least once – I make it in terracotta pots (you know, what plants live in). There are bits of cheese in it, and prosciutto, and basil. When the bread bakes, the cheese gets melty and it’s kind of salty and delicious. If you would like the recipe, email me. It’s easy easy.
Holy cow. You know where my office is. HOLY COW! You are an awesomist.

I’d name mine The Kerfuffles.

Have you invented any recipes?
I don’t consider throwing stuff in a pot a recipe, so I say no.
What did the most recent text message you recieved say?
“we have talked already”
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?
when I was small, my brother got me to eat a tablespoonfull of cinnamon by telling me it was Quik.
I think everyone sort of assumed that by "recipe"
I meant something concrete and written down. I more meant a dish you like to make that isn’t from a cookbook. Eh, it was late when I wrote this Fan Post.
My sister pulled that same cinnamon trick on me!
I would like it if you, and only you, called me Lizzie. It’s so much better than Lisa.
Nor headgear, and it's so fucking hard to sleep on your side.

Anyone else think Ghost Hunters sucks?
My wife is addicted. I’m being forced to watch reruns of The Office on my laptop. IT’S A FUCKING SPECK OF DUST – QUIT FREAKING YOURSELVES OUT.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
Yes. Ghost Hunters sucks.
I’m sort of a sucker for that stuff usually, but it has to at least be spooky. That show is just stupid.
I have no reason to not believe that ghosts may in fact exist
but I also have no desire to watch people look for them on TV. Next up: Metal Detector – The Show! Marvel as random people on the beach find gold dubloons! Swoon as those dubloons turn out to be belt buckles and bottle caps!

My sister (LLLJ) died when I was five.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen signs that she’s around. With that in mind, I didn’t masturbate ONCE when Willie came up to bat in 2008.

Which is embarassing, because I did so each time I watched the YouTube of Boone crying at his goodbye press conference.
