Oh my god what a terrible name
Seriously, a “getting high on cough syrup” reference? Classy, very classy
i hereby nominate
this song to replace every cliche’d Men At Work/Australian reference from here on in. Bonus incendiary live version.
You Am I are the band I would have started if I had any talent at anything.
Nice Guys Finish Third - My semantics are a waste of time.
God
That song is inescapable in Sydney. :/

That's because You Am I are the best band that prison colony ever produced and it's an awesome song.

Radio Birdman? The Saints? The Birthday Party? Bad Seeds?

All good and some very good
but You Am I are my personal favorites of all of ‘em. Their live show hooked me and Tim Rogers is as good a lyricist in his style (drunken lovesick rake music) as Nick Cave is in his – they’re totally different styles but I love Tim Rogers’ lyrics as much as I love Nick Cave’s.

I've always had a love/hate thing with Radio Birdman.
Pick up a copy of You Am I’s Hourly, Daily and you will not be sorry. Follow that with #4 Record.

Jose Lopez is a perfectly useful player.
I just don’t like him.
I be on that purple drank, yo. Get mad crunk up in the Northwesteezay.
If there’s one thing us Northwestern Wildcats know, it’s how to mix up a mighty fine promethazine and Sprite, so back off Sullivan.
Today at a prospective place I was looking at in SD, in the back alley was a tag that said "SDCrips"
needless to say, I won’t be moving there
I think you could use a little bit of street cred.
Nothing says badass like earning those teardrop tattoos.
You know how the OSU players get little Buckeyes on their helmets?

Most of the people I know who know this much about Twilight
Are women in their mid-30s.
Just an observation.

That is a good demographic to target if you want to make money.
middle/high school girls are terrible with their money on average.
Are you insinuating
That if high/middle school girls were better with their money, they wouldn’t buy books like Twilight?

My experience is that they have access to more than enough

Reading Twilight will enable you to talk to girls and impress them
which will make them view your penis as more impressive!
Especially middle school girls because they always remember their first one as the biggest one.

A better joke would have been:
“Does this mean that the pregnancy was carried to term with only minmal complications towards the very end, only to have the state step in and remove the child from the mother’s custody two years later?”
Or perhaps even a joke about someone else taking the pregnancy test.

Seriously. Consider the class size, then divide in half for gender, then realize they’re probably 10-12 years of age, so many of them could even get pregnant at that age…

In moderate amounts it's a fairly benign but obviously chemical smell.

Yeah, true, his slider probably isn't 3.55 runs per 100.
But it’s pretty cool to see how good of a pitch it’s been for him, and he’s throwing it a decent amount, too.
Is something wrong with Aardsma?
Or was that like a closer audition for Lowe in preparation for a possible trade of Aardsma in the offseason?
by I Lick Squirrels on Sep 22, 2009 7:04 PM PDT reply actions
Sounds like from the FSN postgame that the guy was unwilling to give up the HR ball.
and Jen Mueller was waaaaaay too perky.
What a smart AB by Lowe.
Starts him off with the slider all down, then comes in with the fastball on the outside corner trying to get him to chase it, then goes back to the slider down. Could have easily walked him, but better that than pitch up in the zone with the fastball and give up a soul-crushing walk-off HR.
Also
It seems like Lowe actually knows where his pitches are going these days, which is refreshing.

Yes because Greinke has been otherworldly and Felix isn't even in his league.
by Aaron Campeau on Sep 22, 2009 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions
The difference between Greinke and Felix in terms of WAR
is higher than a league average player. It is higher than Colby Rasmus’s WAR. It is exactly the same as Adam LaRoche’s WAR. If you were to swap Felix with Greinke and replace Jose Lopez with Kaz Matsui you would still improve.
