It's like picking the yankees at the start of the baseball season. They won't win it every year, but it's the safest bet. They were a #1 seed. They were weak, but it they did make it to the elite 8. Better than 'Cuse did, better than Wake. But it does suck for me, cuz they are my team.

Great pick. Especially in the Eighth Round.

I would bet a significant amount of money that Bonds is playing by Mid-May. He just said that stuff to get the media all in a tizzy/off his back/fuck up people's fantasy drafts. Knee surgeries like that typically only take a month to heal. Even with his advanced age, he'll be out there much sooner than the All Star Break.

Trust me. I've been watching Bonds for the past 13 years. About once a year he pulls out the "this might be my last year" routine. It's just for his own amusement.

so would you get fringe benefits at the DairyM? like free milk and popsicles or something? then it would totally be worth it.

i have an emac, you know the one that looks a giant half-egg.. but i dont use it much because it's not nearly as convenient as the laptop. i heard good things about the mac mini. too bad apple just doesnt include a mini keyboard and mini monitor to go with it for an extra $100.

hello

St. Louis isn't a bad place to live. I mean, if you are a vegetarian or vegan then you should probably avoid the mid-west altogether.

It is a union town, so you will only find companies like wal-mart on the outskirts for the most part. Rent prices aren't bad and being a pro-labor town, wages are generally pretty good.

They are doing a lot of highway and airport expansion currently, as well as expanding the light rail system. Right now the light rail can get you to downtown, and will drop you off at any professional sports venue, which is nice.

Excellent italian food, thin crust pizza, and toasted ravioli. Be forewarned, at many local pizza places there they will use provolone instead of mozzarella. I remember when I was a little kid that if you ordered from pizza hut or dominos it would come with provolone. which, in my opinion, is the way to make a pizza.

Yeah, Spike is the first Elvis Costello I heard too. I saw the "Veronica" video on MTV, and was intrigued. Couldn't afford to buy it right away, but it didn't take long. And this was during a big Beatles phase for me, so the fact that Paul McCartney co-wrote some of the songs clinched it. A lot of Costello fans regard this as a low-point in his career, but I can't figure that out. Admittedly it has some synth stuff here and there that seems kinda cheesy today, and maybe the fact that Elvis was getting MTV play at all turned off some fans... But as far as I'm concerned, Spike is a career highlight. I love the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and especially Marc Ribot on guitar. Whenever I hear "Chewing Gum," I think every pop song should have a tuba. And Ribot's avant skronk.

Any idea where you want to work? I have my stuff in with temp agencies, so I'm not to worried, but I feel sick over this (literally). They say they have no record of my work, so they think I faked my hours. I'm waiting to hear back from them. I'll probably get fired. I feel nauseated. I've been with them for four years. I was going to quit soon anyway, but quitting doesn't leave a black mark on your record.

when I lived in orlando 'bout 6 years ago, we threw lots of house parties, and aeon flux was always on the TV with random electronica playing in the background. it always synced up so well, better after a few bong hits.

did you know season one of Pete & Pete comes out on DVD in May?

How can you not include Bleach Boys???

Maybe I'll do the Pixies but it seems somewhat redundant since there is already a "Best of " CD floating around out there for them....

hey man, did you dissapear for a while? I did. not alot of time for SG when you work 7 days a week. I thimk the last time I was around the Pats had only won 2 superbowls! got to go to three games last season. Both Miami games, (we were lost in the parking lot at pro player during the last 2:00, see what we get for getting a jump on south beach!) and the Sunday night Buffalo game. good stuff.

hey what was the name of that bridge in south east michigan held together with industrial glue? I was telling someone about it recently and forgot the name.

try talking to my brother, to him only Murder She Wrote is as good. I just dont know if there's hope.

"Whatever it takes, dude"


It'd be funnier if I could find a better pic. It's the Phillies highlight video from '93 (the Mitch Williams/Joe Carter year).

you're absolutely right about that.

Oh, and as to The Dark Tower ... the butler did it.

Are you going to do the I --> VII reading thang?

That was surprisingly amusing. You pizza men have some killer adventures. Also, my definition of adventure is surprisingly all-encompassing.

a dozen pizzas? they eat a lot.

do you think "the boss" has a p.c. sense of humor?
