Oh my god what a terrible name

Seriously, a “getting high on cough syrup” reference? Classy, very classy

by Karma Police on Sep 22, 2009 3:26 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

That song is inescapable in Sydney. :/

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.

Whore yourself out to 14 year old girls the Twilight way.

Just remain standoffish and broody, and insult them and call them meat. Then, let them catch you glancing and turning away when they catch your eyes.

$50 an hour!

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?

which will make them view your penis as more impressive!

got started young. Hurray Tacoma Public schools!

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.

That is impressive.

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…

by Matthew on Sep 22, 2009 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's certainly in the middle

Of 5th and 7th grade.

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

Most people don’t wear it in moderate amounts and their marketing is so clearly targeted towards d-bags that it becomes unbearable.

It also annoys me that they used “Can’t Seem to Make You Mine” in a commercial.

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   0 recs

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.

by appleshampoo on Sep 22, 2009 7:08 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Also

It seems like Lowe actually knows where his pitches are going these days, which is refreshing.

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.

by acblue on Sep 22, 2009 8:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Me, too.

I love Felix and would be elated for him — and goddamn it if they’re going to keep getting these awards wrong, at least let Felix be the benefactor! — but it would still be wrong.
