@Grey, The Marxist propaganda that fooled him into opposing the Vietnam War is probably also responsible for the condition of his face.

Love the ascot though. It’s a must-have for grocery shopping!

@royce!, No, I haven’t. Unfortunately my wife doesn’t have a baby to distract her from matters of domestic expenditure

@Awesomus Maximus, Got it – thanks!

@royce!, I see her father at the grocery store all the time. Always wearing an ascot, looks terrible with work done.

@Grey, Ah, fair enough. Rules are rules.

@Grey, mean “nice” about the Galifinakis joke, not the Artist being a trifle.

@Grey, Nice! Though the original is interesting enough… And also her stance was ridiculous. I realized tonight that Jolie’s facial physical characteristics are such that as she ages, she will look like she has had work done, without every having any work done. She’s going to have to have work done to appear as if she has not. Weird.

@Grey, Lenka song, that is.

@royce!, Lenka ong wasn’t for the movie, was made originally for herself then they used it.

@Grey, Oh, and as much as I thought it was rad and hilarious that the Muppet song won, why wasn’t the Moneyball song nominated? Kinda easy to beat the only other song nominated, some throwaway animated BS.

@royce!, The Artist was a trifle. Zach G. just had a good joke on E!. They asked what they thought of Angelina Jolie’s slit and he asked, “You said slit with an S, right?”

@Grey, Yep, with Crystal as the host, you had to know it was going to be trying. I’m thinking that’s what they were going for- boring. Well they nailed it. I just don’t know why they thought it had to be so freaking serious and dramatic about everything. I don’t usually watch awards shows so it might just be me, but the whole thing seemed so self-consciously self-congratulatory, an impression that the best picture winner really drove home. Maybe Hollywood really feels the need to sell itself lately?

I might just be grumpy due to lack of sleep for the last couple nights. Also I only saw 2 of the 9 best picture nominees, so they might be right about having to sell Hollywood to me. Was The Artist any good?

@royce!, What a boring show… Predictably so, but still…

@the grate one, I think he’s young and needs to get a new position.

@Steve, I think it was the first show that I actively looked forward to.

You ever buy anything from that ebbets site? I am about to

@royce!, Yeah they were on here. Pretty cool.

@Steve, I was stoked for Bret; that guy is brilliant, and I love the Muppets. They air the Muppets in NZ when you were a kid?

@royce!, New Zealand rules Hollywood again (we wrote the Muppet song).

I don’t usually watch the Oscars, but am glad that I have been tonight…If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t know that the people who make movies think that movies are like the most important thing ever.

Oh, also, Natalie Portman.

@Grey, What if I can trade Andrus for a 3rd rounder (effectively a 9th round Draft pick). Does this change your opinion?

grey…in a league that allows us to keep prospects…waht do you think of anthony rendon???

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:51:36 +0000

@Awesomus Maximus, I’d love to give it a try, though the time difference isn’t ideal for mock drafting here. sglyon at gmail dot com.

@Grey,

What’s the haps on the Capps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:23:33 +0000

@royce!, I’d draft Capps at the very end of the Brain Freezes, and wouldn’t waste space in a 12 team league on Perkins yet… But, yeah, Capps is crapps… Hey-oh!

@royce!, The first sentence of his Wiki profile says it all:

Joel Martin Zumaya (born November 9, 1984) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. He is known for his record-breaking fastballs and his numerous injuries.

@Steve, I agree, what a bummer. Maybe he should spend the next year or so working with Wakefield.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:17:39 +0000

@royce!, Dads need a break too!

I suppose it does solidify Capps’ position a little, though I was really just expressing some sympathy for Zumaya.

I feel genuinely sorry for him – 13 pitches into his first session of live batting practice and his life is f***** all over again.
