OFFTOP 2/9/09 Dr. Bob Edition
In honor of the QC Fanpost I would like to take this opportunity to give a New Orleans tradition a try. Dr. Bob is a local artist famous for his Be Nice Or Leave signs intended to be hung above the entry ways of businesses and homes. They are actually pretty cool and have become a bit of a local phenomenon.
This coming weekend is Valentine's day. In honor of that I present the following Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles strip. Courtesy of neilswaab.com.
Also, this passage from fmylife.com sums up most of the V Days in my life.
Today, I got an email from the local D&D meet up group that the next meeting will be on Feb. 14th. I don't know what is more sad... that the group is meeting on valentines day or that I have nothing better to do but go. FML
Anyone have anything outside the norm planned for this weekend?
Also, and this is just to make y'all's (double contraction for the win) day a little bit brighter, here is the current weather at my location:
ENI Base Camp Weather - Oliktok Point, AK
41 below is cold, cold, cold.

Is anyone taking their significant other out to dinner on Saturday?
I am taking my Ladyfriend to the Marx Bros. Cafe at the Anchorage Museum. In my nice suit and she finally gets to wear one of the dresses she got in Hawaii. $100 a plate but that comes with multiple courses and wine for every course.
Here is a question: I am picking up the tab for this. Does that excuse me from flowers & Candy or is that still a must?

I believe you are technically excused, but buying an inexpensive bunch of tulips is a thoughtful gesture.
Even if when it’s not Valentines Day.

I am taking mrs. pdb
to Serratto. Great food, not-stuffy atmosphere, and not ridiculously expensive.
Whether picking up the tab exempts you from auxiliary gifts depends on the woman. I would suggest staying away from buying candy, because that’s the ultimate “I didn’t know what to get you so here’s a box of candy instead” gift. And with flowers, go with something that’s not roses.

Just glanced at the Serratto menu -
This looks amazing.
Baby spinach with candied walnuts, honeycrisp apples, Manchego cheese and bacon vinaigrette

I love that place
and they change things up regularly enough to keep it fresh. That baby spinach dish is fantastic, though, that’s been on the menu a while. Manchego is one of my favorite cheeses in the world.

I don't know about that advice
go with something that’s not roses.
My girlfriend was not too happy with me last year when I was only able to find yellow roses. All the red ones were gone / totally wilted. She’s pretty set on RED ROSES.

They're just so trite though
I don’t like following scripts. Everyone expects red roses, so I go with tulips or something else colorful. Red roses are also hellishly expensive this week. If your girlfriend is so hung up on the color of flowers she gets, and is not grateful for the fact that you’re getting her getting flowers, she might need to look at her priorities a bit closer.
(don’t mean to sound rude, but that “red roses or nothing” attitude is why I DETEST Valentine’s day)

I get what you're saying
but she really likes flowers and really likes traditions/routines. She doesn’t ever expect roses the rest of the year, and it’s just part of the day for her.

It really is the thought that counts...
It is my experience that the cost or content of the gift isn’t what matters most. What matters most is that you take the time and effort to give a thoughtful gift. This gift may be flowers or candy, it could be anything really, as long as it is personal and shows genuine caring about what your sweetie likes.

If I fail to buy pounds of very nice chocolate on Valentine's Day
I should start shopping for a new place to live. My wife is not a big fan of roses since we have tons of roses in our yard already. Chocolate however is very important no matter what else I may have done for her.

Wifey and I are going to Spinasse on friday.
I’ve heard many good things, and we actually got to spend a couple weeks in Piemonte last summer so eager to get our tajarin/nebbiolo fix locally. As a strange coincidence, I flooded that space when I was in high school, working on an old bathtub directly above. The owner of the cafe (Globe?) was not happy with me.

Not taking her out
Making dinner. It’s gotten to be a tradition, and I like it.
Yeah, perhaps it’s not different enough from a regular day, but that’s OK… esp. given that our anniversary is so close to Valentine’s, it seems like the 14th just isn’t as big of a deal. I’d be in trouble if I forgot it outright, mind you.

I hate going out to dinner on Valentine's Day.
Just like New Year’s Eve. Too many people. Too many expectations of perfections.
Bah humbug.
But fresh flowers—I echo the no red roses unless she’s a complete traditionalist—are always appreciated.

Thankfully after 2 years in and now being engaged,
We are just swapping cards and having a dinner in at home. I can’t stand Valentine’s day, so this is a best case scenario for me.
In your case, if you’re so inclined, go for getting her some flowers or something on the 13th. May be a pleasant surprise for her.

Yeah. Aside from the dinner we are also booking a night at the nicest hotel in Anchorage. Champagne waiting in the room.
The problem is that I don’t know her mailing address because we live in the same apartment complex. She works weird hours because she goes to school, so work is out. Not a lot of spontaneity if I have to call and say the flowers will be there at this time be sure you are home.

If I paid attention to the Grammys I'd probably be annoyed
but that would require giving the Grammys any sort of serious consideration, which just isn’t worth doing. Even for awards shows, which have a pretty low bar as to quality, the Grammys are a joke – this, after all, is the organization that gave Jethro Tull a “Best Heavy Metal” Grammy instead of Metallica.

At least Lupe was nominated…seems like some of the better albums don’t get nominated because no one knows who the heck people are sometimes and the cool thing is to pick the popular people.

Unless they're licensed with MLB

I'm hoping he's a sucky pitcher cut because his team is in a rebuilding phase.
Everything he does turns to shit and he’s completely miserable, and despised by everyone around him. Even his dog runs away. Immediately following his departure, everyone on the team has a bonding moment, unite, and despite being league average career utility players, they destroy the league with slap singles, bunts, stolen bases, walks, grit, and hustle and make the playoffs behind their three ace pitchesr, who are nicknamed “The Guns of the Navarone” by the public and the press.
In my mind I’ll use him as a proxy for Carlos Silva, and will be very happy.

Re: Seattle's Civic Pride
Seattle is one of the most often cited cities when people ask about unique American experiences. Most everyone considers Seattle to be cool. I’d say the 5 most unique American cites would be Seattle, New York, Boston, New Orleans, and Miami.

Seattle is also one of the most hypersensitive cities about its image
I don’t remember the exact quote, but Dan Savage once said something like “Seattle likes to think it’s Paris. When told it is not in fact Paris, it hides in the closet and cries until someone comes and makes it feel better”.
Which is kinda sad, really, because Seattle is a great mid-sized American city and doesn’t need to constantly reaassure itself about how wonderful it is.

If you're looking for cheap tickets and warm, yeah, SD is a good bet.
But the cost of things are higher down there, I believe. I like it though because it’s laid back.
I, of course, would make the bid for New Orleans, which is warm and relaxed and has cheap deals in March because Mardi Gras is over. Festivals tend to be free, food is reasonable, and alcohol is cheap.

Looking at him more closely
he might be a nice pickup for a team that has an opening. Over the last three years he’s been worth 1.1, -0.9, and 1.7 wins. That’s about 2/3 of a win a year (but with the best performance coming most recently, for what it’s worth). In addition, those 1.7 wins last year came in 365 PA.
So that’s possibly a 1-2 win player for league minimum.

I have been reading the Amazing Spider-Man every month for more than 20 years. And now I don’t.

Joss' Astonishing run was excellent . . . when it actually shipped. He still gets a junk punch for killing Kitty.
But the whole “no more mutants” thing has been slowly ruining the X-Men. The reasoning for why some have powers and some don’t is just so stupid. If they felt there were too many mutants maybe they should have forced the writers to quit making new characters every month the last 10 years.

I don’t expect this to really spawn a discussion but I thought some of you may interested to know that the young housekeeper quit today. She wasn’t here long enough for it to have been caused by one of us. I assume she was just one of those people for whom working up here is great in theory but miserable in practice.

From what I have heard.
People over 21 either don’t care or are happy the law is the way it is because they wouldn’t want 18-20 year olds hanging around the bar, because of their immaturity. I know the facts “why” 21 is the law, but maybe it is something I will have to experience to understand.

It's always bothered me that you can operate machinery, vote for the president, and join the military,
but at 18 you can’t buy a beer. On the other hand, I wouldn’t want most 18 year olds I know hanging out at my local pub. Half of the 21-25 year olds are bad enough.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
by Thingray on Feb 9, 2009 4:36 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I say the solution would be allow 19 or 20 years olds privileges with a special permit
And if they get a DUI or something, then they lose that permit and can’t drink until they turn 21, along with harsher punishments than a regular DUI. This way, everyone goes home happy.
Also, I would want to mention its basically discrimination to lump everyone from 18-20 deemed not adequate to drink because of their age, without taking anything else into consideration.
by Fin on Feb 9, 2009 5:05 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
While I agree with this,
I doubt you’ll ever see the legal age go down. How about you can drink when you’re 18, but if you act like a little prick in the bar, we have the right to make it so you have to drink through a straw until you’re 21?
Or better yet if you’re under 21, you have a “drinkers learning permit”, meaning that you are only allowed to drink a certain amount an hour, and only certain drinks.

I like your second idea.
I mean, how realistic is that people are banned from using this intoxicating substance until 21 years old, and then all of the sudden can “have at it” If the drinking age was younger with limited privileges, it would teach people how to drink responsibly so the DUI rate would decrease.
But you are right, even though there is a thing called the Amethyst Initiative, where the Deans from over 100 universities and colleges are petitioning to lower the drinking age. So there is some progress there.

It looks like they lowered the price of the plan or something. They told me before that the WDC discount wouldn’t apply while I was on SERO.

Just make sure your plan doesn't go beneath 30 dollars a month otherwise you lose the ability to get rebated upgrades.
by Robert on Feb 9, 2009 2:56 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Hmm....
Upon closer inspection, they did add in a corporate discount, but it’s actually higher (20% instead of the 18%) than advertised.
My plan does say $30 minimum charge, but with the discount, my bill was under $30 so I have no idea how that affects my upgrade status. Frankly, I’m not going to question it if they’re going to just give me $6/month for no reason.

Or movies, or comic book movies. Prepare to meet the anti-Dark Knight.. Brett Ratner to direct Rob Liefields “Youngblood”. Will this be the worst comic book movie yet?

and two already-made films have done little to dissuade me from this opinion. The Ang Lee one was interesting, but not good, and the Edward Norton one was just horrid. I just don’t think that the story of the Hulk and what he does/is is easy to capture in film form.

The most damning indictment I can make of it
was that the only place I saw it was on a flight from Portland to Austin. I watched it with the sound off and I could STILL telegraph exactly what was going to happen next, and what each character was saying. The dialog in my head was probably better than what was on screen.
There’s just not much that’s inherently interesting about a guy who gets mad and smashes stuff indiscriminately. With all other superheroes, there’s some sort of point to why they do what they do – Iron Man is trying to redress a lifetime of wrongs his company created, Spider-Man is a vigilante because of the death of his uncle, etc., where the Hulk is just a guy that smashes stuff.

“Well, then you’re missing the boat”

Took me about 5 seconds, and the whole time he stood there fidgeting and then got mega-excited when I finished and got on and rode a wheelie out of the parking lot.

If I remember correctly
I was Captain Plastic that night and his changing room is located there.

That is so sad, on so many levels.
I was up in the stands, someplace, once again not winning any Fan Appreciation items.

Robert, if that is the best job you've held, come clean my house. I won't even throw shit at you.
More than once.

It would have been so sad, though ...
if you had, and the Captain Plastic minders wrestled you to the ground for molesting the Captain.
