@Jeff: Hehe, yeah, totally. That actually gives me an idea for a post. Players heads filled like a pitcher of Kool-Aid, and the different levels would be the amount they are schmohawks. I wish I was more proficient in Photoshop though. Actually, I don't even own the program so my lack of knowledge doesn't really matter.

How long before Mike Young enters schmohawk territory? Isn’t he dangerously close already?

@BigFatHippo: Oh! Wineglasses full of beer! Well, that's classy. My bad. @BSA: An arm for Lugo? That's awful? It's not like they're giving away a great piece. Give Lugo away for anything and it's a plus.

@BigFatHippo: re: Dontrelle - what happened to him anyways? Was 2005 a joke or was it this past year? Overall looking over his numbers he looks like a 4.25 ERA and should throw around 200 innings. Yet did FLA see something in 07 with those HRAs against ballooning and the HA steadily rising. Hmm, maybe he is like Hideki, hitters figure out the leg kick and he's got nothing behind it?

@BSA: re: Man don’t these “location change will do you good” trades suck? Absolutely, you'd think the Sawx learned their lesson after witnessing Dontrelle this year. What is Theo thinking? Lugo's expendable but do you really want those guys on your team?

Here’s an interesting Hot Stove rumor I read today for my Sawx.
“The Boston Globe’s Nick Carafdo believes the Tigers are “contemplating a deal with Boston to send either Nate Robertson or Dontrelle Willis for (Julio) Lugo, but some money issues must be resolved.”

Man don’t these “location change will do you good” trades suck?

@Grey: No, wineglasses full of beer. We used to play with shots of Everclear in college, long distance, had to bounce em across the table, all fun and games till somebody loses an eye. @BSA: I roll em off my beak, made 250 in a row at a party in school. 30 people blew off class the next day. Srsly (is that how you say it Grey?)

@Grey: I don't think many drink the Turkey without coming away with comments like, "Wow, what a time." Kind of like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens on Turkey, happens on nothing else!"

@BSA: Gobble, gobble. The last time I drank that I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Skin to win... Wow, what a time.

@BigFatHippo: bounce it off the bar or rolling off the nose? damn Grey thinking about quarters brings me back to funnels. You asking about quarters with wine makes me think back to that last Wild Turkey shot I had. Damn how could I have liked that stuff?

@BigFatHippo: You were playing quarters with wine? Classy broads in The Bootheel.

@BSA: Ha, the beertender gave us a short wine glass with a mouth like Rosie O'Donnells. Hard to miss. Alas, the roomie got to sleep with her* cause he doesn't drink via court order. Fricken Judge Judy. *The milf that is, not Rosie.

@BigFatHippo: Quarters - I think I just spit up in my own mouth thinking about that game again. Yikes! Heading over to email.

@BSA: Check your e-mail, yes I have lots of questions.

@BSA: Ha! I hope my two daughters can display that same clarity of thought. Early indications (they are nearly 6 and 3-and-a-half) is that they can...

@Grey: I'm on it. Lost my match today by a frickin point and a half, still in 1st though, but lost to 2nd place guy who incidentally won 2nd in our BBall league. To my 1st place of course.......if I'm rambling it's cause I played quarters all night last night with the roomie's new MILF, she kicked my ass. Think alcohol poisoning meets horndog. @BSA: I'm an independant, which is to say I trust noone. Congrats on Baby Summerdogs baptism btw.

@BigFatHippo: Familying, working, schooling - I don't know what I have been up to other than missing my time on Razzball. @Grey: As to Lance - Why does everyone think he is such a great guy? I do think he was doping, just that the american money machine helped him like Roger and others have been able to buy the right masks. Baptism - Thanks - Nah, no one got hurt except the pastor's feeling when he asked my two year old, for the bazillionth time, do you want a blessing today and she put up her hand and said, "No thanks!" Poor guy keeps trying.

@Grey: Yes, I think he probably was. The Tour (one of the world's great events IMHO) has been ruined by drugs. But I guess building it up like that is what drives athletes to do whatever they can to get an advantage...

@BigFatHippo: Aaaah, its good to feel at home again. Yeah I think I saw that guy following the Gecko around. As far as politics go, I don't trust any of them I am jut not happy to see our country run by one party without checks and balances in place - be they Donkeys or Elephants - they're all stubborn and pigheaded once we elect them.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:12:34 +0000

@Steve: You don't think Lance Armstrong was doping? @BSA: Congrats on your son's baptism. Did you whack the other three families while the priest was doing it? @BigFatHippo: Somebody's asking for help about football in the forums.

@BSA: Ha You've been working too hard dude, or familying too hard whatever that is. And Mia doesn't drive getaway cars, Esmerelda Villalobos drives the getaway car. Now that we know you're John McCain, can you tell Sarah Palin I said she's a total GILF? Thanks. Hope I don't get taxed too bad, I'll have to give away what's left of my paycheck to that guy who lives in my dumpster. He smells kinda ripe but he's a sweet guy nonetheless. Deserves a bottle of Penfold instead of that box he drinks out of.

Hello all! It has been so long my login info got wiped out. I just had a good speed read and my head is still spinning. Thoughts like, damn I wish I could get my hands on a bottle of Penfold Shiraz, images of Grey running around behind Smokey the Bear as Smokey say, “Only you can prevent forest fires”, and then he hops in the car with Rickie and Nomah while Mia drives their getaway car right through a burning redwood and is screaming for all the men to stop crying.

Man where can I get some Penfolds on a Sunday night in Connecticut?

Anyways, quick catchup on things here – Little Pete just got baptised today so the house is sleeping and I am up avoiding a paper. Still frustrated with trying to figure out how to set-up and upload files for a great website for a new company. Coming to terms with a National League World Series Winner and a country run by Democrats.
Grey and Hippo, hide your valuables with to Steve before they get taxed here in the states.
Oh well back to classroom management 101 – cooperative learning.

@Grey: Yeah - kind of. Whether they ***should*** be banned is another debate entirely - perhaps they shouldn't be. But until that changes, it's not OK to use 'em. Still think Floyd Landis is a bald-faced liar though.

Grey — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:44:35 +0000

@Steve: That steroids are illegal and should be banned? Yeah, I think everyone's on that side of the argument. That's what made this doc so fascinating.

By: Steve

Steve — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:36:47 +0000

@Grey: I'd say I'm more on the other side of the argument.

@Grey: Watched Bigger. Stronger, Faster* last night. Really great doco. Doesn't quite line up with my view of the whole thing but really well argued.

@Steve: @BigFatHippo: I'm at an internet cafe in the middle of the forest. I made a wifi connection from some tree sap, an antler and a piece of my pancreas. I can't type much more because I'm internally bleeding-- Nope, that's external now. I hope the fire let's up soon. Anyway, be well, my friends.
