speedz99 145 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Man! Now I want to try one of those maple bars.Sorry, too many calories. You know how I like to keep my women...even the ones that I don't really know at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki_N 17 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Sorry, too many calories. You know how I like to keep my women...even the ones that I don't really know at all.Oh, I certainly won't be eating any. I can dream, though. 1252 calories today plus I did my weight training workout. I've had a few eating indiscretions as of late and I'm trying to get down to almost anorexic so I can eat/drink whatever I want in Vegas. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I DVRd the Strasburg debut...good call, me. He works fast, so I got to watch the whole thing (minus the Nats at bats) in like a half hour. Good stuff. He somehow managed to live up to the insane hype, striking out 14 in 7 innings (W, 2 er, 0 bb). Also, are you not watching the Celtics right now? Link to post Share on other sites

Theraflu 1,035 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You know who I didn't really read until about a week ago but now think is great? Joe Posnanski. Check him out (si.com).Wang mentioned him 2 years ago in this thread, and it's been a must-read ever since. He posts a lot, but almost all of them are worth reading.Are you telling me that? I...what?I DVRd the Celts game too, what a mess. I'll be very surprised if they make it to a game 7.Not the most enjoyable game to attend. The officiating is horrific, and Ray/Sheed/Paul tonight couldn't hit anything. The Celtics defense played amazing, and that will get overlooked going forward. They were in this game the whole time, and the only reason was because of amazing defense all around. I don't know what "making it to a game 7" means, other than that they are unequivocally either 1A or 1B as far as best team goes. Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong...I hope I'm wrong. It's just that they only won game 2 because Allen went on a crazy tear (which they obviously can't count on) to keep them in it during the first half, and they couldn't win tonight when Gasol/Bynum had below average games and Kobe disappeared in the 4th quarter. I don't know, they just aren't looking so good. In terms of matchups they had it great against the Lebrons and the Magic (who, as someone pointed out in a broadcast, built teams that could beat each other but forgot about the Celtics in the process), but in this series they seem outclassed. Again, I hope I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,759 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have been way too sober lately, and my writing is suffering. My panel (like finals) is next Tuesday and all off my projects have at least one fatal flaw. Additionally, I agreed to write a 30-sec spot for a local ad agency and receive the brief tomorrow. The pressure is officially on.Thus, on my way home I bought a handle of Canadian Club, Don Draper's whiskey of choice, and I just got off the phone with my old roommate about procuring a decent amount of non-decent weed. Hopefully, things are about to turn around.I must admit that it sucks to be reliant on substances to help fuel creativity...but there comes a point when you gotta suck it up and, well, suck it up.When I'm off the shit, I get very angst-filled regarding society. Mainly, its obsession with religion. My apostasy (Speedz, that means the loss of one's religion) is peaking. I'm reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, and it's pretty much exactly what I've believed my whole life. I grew up in an extremely Christian family. I probably know the Bible better than Balloon Guy and Braveheart combined. It just never felt right to me, especially the part about how lucky I was to be born in America under the one, right religion. BG likes to associate evolution with racism, but it doesn't get much more ethnocentric than this belief.During my entire tenure as a Christian, I never once felt motivated to try and convert someone to Christianity. It's like when I tried to sell food packages and giant freezers to people and never made a sale. It was a total scam, and I couldn't bring myself to dupe anyone. I have morals and ethics. However, now that I am embracing my burgeoning atheism, I want to bring everyone to the light.Balloon Guy is hopeless. He's too afraid of his entire world crumbling apart to listen to reason, and he basks in his undeserved superiority. However, I think there's hope for Braveheart. Deep down, I think he's starting to understand. Being established in society and having a family makes it difficult to make the leap, but it certainly is refreshing.There is no hope for me. Also: I could totally take you in a Bible quiz. Link to post Share on other sites

Bearded in Absentia 0 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hello, sir... as always its good to hear from youI just staggered back from there a few minutes ago... as hes probably noticed, the entire complex is in a constant state of remodeling, so Im a pretty permanent fixture around there. Well, my crew is, anyway...First off, he needs to secure a bogus handicapped placard for his mirror unless multi-mile walks to and from the car are considered fun in his book. I can assist with that, of course. Fun fact... the snack bar inside generates more income/sales tax than any other restaurant out there Yeah, Benton county is dryer than Braveheart. He needs to make the fifteen minute drive up five forty to the Missouri state line to Macadoodles. Its on the left right next to a Chevy dealer about a half mile past the AR line. Much cheaper beer and hard stuff can be found at the North end of the store inside the "Hot beer wholesale to the public" division. They stock thirty packs of common brands and whiskey/vodka/wine by the case at amazing discounts. They open at ten am and he can shake my hand almost every Wednesday around that time.... or at least one of my associatesAs far as things to do in Arkansas... its a sportsmans paradise as far as fishing/hiking/boating/etcThe only other activity I can think of right now is drinking....Ill put some thought into it and put together a guide that might interest you when I return from CoronadoGreat stuff so far. I'm shipping this over to him via email right now. You know who I didn't really read until about a week ago but now think is great? Joe Posnanski. Check him out (si.com).Yeah, Poz is, in my opinion, the best sportswriter in America. It's hard for me to explain why I enjoy him so much, but I think it's mostly because he's so very obviously:1) Reasonable2) Intensely Curious3) Smart4) HonestHe doesn't grandstand or bloviate, and when he investigates an issue, he's usually concerned with the ACTUAL ANSWER, not with the one that supports some conclusion he's already drawn. http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/My second stop every morning.
