I went and saw the original Muppet Movie tonight (you know, the 1979 version). They asked at the beginning who our favorite muppet is, and I automatically said Animal, because, you know, he's Animal. (Did anyone else have the Muppets Unpigged CD? AWESOME drum solo by Animal in that....)
But anywho, I digress.....after seeing the movie, I think Beaker is my favorite. And what's Beaker been up to lately? Well, taking in some classical music....

Use this lounge for a few days. Bunker down, hide if you need to, because it's getting stormy again.....

Hi - haven't been here for a few days.....anything worth checking in to in the LAST one?
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
Nope....just me whining for the most part.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Agreed. Beaker was my fav too.
ZigFan31 - January 12, 2012
Thank you, gigs
I’ll go Kermit…..he’s a glue guy despite the fact it’s not easy being green.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I love Beaker SFM.
But GONZO FOREVER. :D :D
Kyli - January 12, 2012
I am not prepared to answer such difficult questions first thing in the thread
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
And please tell me you've seen the Beaker Habanera.
Kyli - January 12, 2012
ooooh, I have not.....
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
You should.
Kyli - January 12, 2012
Me and two friends re-enact it in bars when we get drunk.
(I’m always Beaker)
Kyli - January 12, 2012
When I get drunk at a bar I usually end up with an alimony payment.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I assume you make frequent trips to the ER.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
that is AWESOME
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
I never realized how freakishly long Beakers arms were
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
Is it sad that Moneyball frustrates me
because I know how shitty the team is now? It’s like if, say, Rudy Ruettiger would’ve gone on to become a crack addict.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
I enjoy the book Moneyball for the wonderful piece of fiction that it is.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I can't be frustrated by the movie because A's on the big screen.
But I certainly understand the frustration
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
No, I feel the same.
It hurts because it’s a reminder of HOW GOOD things were, and there was so much hope, and well… yeah, that fucking 2002 draft class really turned out. :-/
Kyli - January 12, 2012
The opening scene
When I see Mulder, I just think… fuck… remember when it felt like the A’s were guaranteed to win 3 out of every 5 games?
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
And when I saw Mulder, I just thought fuck.
ZigFan31 - January 12, 2012
I figured, haha
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
I'd like to....
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
He's so fragile though
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
Not like Harden
ZigFan31 - January 12, 2012
apparently I like the fragile ones....
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
mmmmm hmmmmmmm
care to tell us more?
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
I never fancied him much
I think because I saw him first at FanFest, reading a picture book to some little kids. He wasn’t very good.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
haha...he wasn't the smartest. But he was pretty.
ZigFan31 - January 12, 2012
But now that I read his tweets, I think he is smart
Just didn’t know how to convey it before the invention of Twitter.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
a twitter Q higher than your average ball player??
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
And snarky.
Not higher than Brandon and Dallas, we have high standards, but better than most of the others out there I’ve seen.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
this!!!
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
Yep.
“Oh, the bullpen dropped it for Huddy? FUCK. Well, Mulder’ll pitch 9 tomorrow, then Zeet will have his Crazy Luck.”
When Ted Lilly is the biggest of your problems, you be sittin’ pretty. :( AND WE DIDN’T KNOW. So much time spent raging about an anemic offense, when truly, we didn’t know just how anemic the A’s offense could get.
Kyli - January 12, 2012
It's never rock bottom
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
Unlike my life.
Kyli - January 12, 2012
sadface
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
Maybe the A's should be allowed some steroids
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
They'd probably all end up as Adam Piatt
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
we should ask for the steroids that actually work
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
Then you wouldn't like Joe Montana's comments about Rudy on "The Dan Patrick Show"
He basically discounted most of the whole Rudy movie as hogwash, much to the dismay of the crew on the show. But I still believe! “RU-DEE! RU-DEE! RU-DEE!”
darooster - January 13, 2012
Sometimes I think I should have built a life that ended up with me being in San Diego.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Many of us probably feel that way! I love San Diego.....
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
I never really got a great feel for San Diego.
Seemed very nice, but I wasn’t there long enough to take a fair impression away.
Anywhere in Cali, near the coast, would do me. Not asking too much…
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
Yup
That is how I’m trying to build my life. I’ll retire to a Coronado mansion.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
Can I come visit when I'm in the country?
Because I’m planning on winning the lottery and then buying up homes all over the world….
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
Yup.
This will just be my home base. When I hit the lotto, I’m just gonna stay in hotels, traveling the world.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
when you pass through the towns I own, you can stay at the chateau
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
Thanks
I prefer hotels, oddly enough. I don’t have to clean anything and I feel like a rockstar when I get drunk and make a mess of the place.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
I prefer women but I'm open minded.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I will have a turndown service in each of my chateaus.
Except the villa at the winery. But I’ll have topless men working the vines, so I’ll stay there often.
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
Can you swap them out for topless women when I stay there?
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
I'll have the topless women stomping the grapes
it’s like naked mudwrestling, but edible.
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
I'd like at least one topless woman designated to work my vine
But hey, once I get rich, I don’t see this being a problem.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
whoa
ZigFan31 - January 12, 2012
And then you have to invite all down for epic R & R.
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
Of course
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
We'll retire in Hawaii but I have 25 more Arkansas winters to get through.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Why would you want to be in a whale's vagina?
Probably smells like fish in there
darooster - January 13, 2012
Thank you quietfan...whoever the hell you may be....I handed out my first flag as Bed.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
tell us!
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
It's in the new meta thread by PDX
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Via Denis Leary's facebook page
Twinkies are headed for bankruptcy? Okay – this recession is REALLY getting fucking serious.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
I heard that this morning
I want to go buy cases of hostess cupcakes, just in case….
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
I learned from Zombieland, stock up
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
Zombieland....I wonder what that's about?
Bed. - January 12, 2012
For fucking reals, I need my Hostess cupcakes and HoHos, I AM CONCERNED.
Kyli - January 12, 2012
I just ate a HoHo, one less in the world
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
I last had one in 1981 so I think I'll make it.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Mmmmm
The pink frosting cupcakes? (shiver). So awful for your health, but OH SO DELICIOUS
darooster - January 13, 2012
What.
This is causing a greater reaction in me than I would have expected.
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
Conan had a great bit on his show
That was a montage showing a whole bunch of news shows using the phrase “Twinkie Trouble” to describe the Hostess bankruptcy.
darooster - January 13, 2012
Hangover 2....half the laughs, twice the ladyboys.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Hey I just realized I'm finally old enough to run for President this election season.
Bed in 2012: All the VOPR you can eat.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
All the what now?
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I know so little about VORP I don't even know how to spell it.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I suppose Player's Replacement works just as well as Replacement Player.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
VOPR isn't as much fun to say though as VORP
Bed. - January 12, 2012
VOPR?
Barely knew ’er!
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
STILL FUNNY
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
so, to run for president, do you have to be 35 by the time of the november election, or by the primaries?
just wondering…..
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
You have to be 35 by the next leap year or have a note from you doctor.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
damn
oh wait, doctor’s note, that might work…..
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
So no William Pitt the Younger for you guys then.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
FOUND THE ANSWER!
They have to be 35 by the time of their inauguration.
I could totally run for president this year.
VOTE FOR GIGS IN 2012!!!!!!
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
Hmm....can I be your Veep?
Bed. - January 12, 2012
You're going to have to show long-form birth certificates
for Bed., Bed, Brian, B-E-D… etc.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
Hmm....does it hurt that I was born in California which many people consider a foreign country?
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I was born in Oakland
I’m screwed
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
Nah
You come from the state that Reagan governed. Just keep that at the forefront of the Gigs/Bed campaign when y’all go down south.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
The Get Gigs into Bed Campaign?
That could be popular.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
It okay unless you have a nuclear meltdown while being a sitting senator
of at least that is what The West Wing taught me
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
I get that now!
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
you are a white male
it won’t hurt you
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
America FUCK YEAH!
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I could so see that being your slogan
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
I'd have to ask the Southpark boys if it was alright
of course they’re white dudes so I’ll see them at the next meeting.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
they will be in charge of your campaign
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Well, I'll win a Tony Award at least then.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
lots of good song and dance routines
will hep you will the elections
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
When I was a lad I dreamed of winning a Tony and dating Alyssa Milano
not necessarily in that order.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
well, you would need a date TO the tonys
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
It's all starting to make sense now.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
thats what I'm here for
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Mmmm.....Tony Micelli.....
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
I'd get Aaron Sorkin to write my speeches....and somebody much better than me at public speaking to deliver them.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
omg, I totally want Aaron Sorking as my speechwriter!!!
And Josh Lyman must be involved somewhere.
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
I wish I could have Aaron Sorkin living in a closet to dictate my life.
That would rock.
Kyli - January 13, 2012
Oh my god, the ST: TNG bluray release is going to be beautiful and amazing.
Kyli - January 12, 2012
I'm waiting for Banachek to be on bluray
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I'm also waiting for someone to explain to me what bluray is.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Like DVDs
But fancier, clearer and more expensive.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
Yeah, I have two of them.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
And apparently more features on the discs
I’m going to have to get a Blu-ray player to see all the Moneyball extra extras — does anyone have any recs?
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I always forget to watch the extras.
That and I keep trying to rewind them when I’m done watching the movie.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
A total waste of money
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
I like to waste money
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I'll send you my address
I take checks.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
Do you take video game tokens from the 80's from Chuck E. Cheese?
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Out of curiosity,
why?
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
the monetary upgrade doesn't equal the quality for me
Also once they decided to do special BD only extras I said never will I spend one fucking dime on it.
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
Really?
If you look carefully, they’re not that much more expensive. And oh man, the visual difference can be staggering.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
My eyes suck as is, now not so much but when they first came out they were.
I’m an early adopter, if you don’t get me in the first year it is unlikely to ever happen.
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
DVDs in HD.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
HDDVD lol
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
Hee.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
I LOVED that show
That whole Mystery Movie package was really quite good for the time….back in the Dark Ages when we only had four or five channels to choose from and the stations signed off at 1 am.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
Never saw it but I like saying the name Banachek.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
You'd like it
He was an ultra-cool insurance investigator with a Boston townhouse, a chauffeur, and a way with the ladies. It’s also interesting in retrospect that it was perfectly okay in the early 1970’s to have the hero of a prime-time series with a different chick (or two) every week.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I love mystery stuff so I probably would like it.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Good lord you're a geek/
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
sad to say ladies and gents, but AN took a serious turn for the worse today. got a lot of thinking to do.
stm72 - January 12, 2012
Nah....quietfan thinks we all need to shut the hell up.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
i thought that was funny. quietfan...with his/her yap wide open. teehee
stm72 - January 12, 2012
he's today's oxymoron...
which part bothered you….the removal or the meta thread?
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
his bizarre attitude in the meta thread which followed the hiding of the "modest proposal" thread
stm72 - January 12, 2012
I just think he does not know how to handle the whole thing and because of this it just isn't getting better.
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
Step up...be honest....cut the jokes....explain what happened.....where do we go from here....not hard to do.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
that would take...
being grown up and reasonable!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
agreed
stm72 - January 12, 2012
I hate most of those things!
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
agreed
stm72 - January 12, 2012
Seriously.
This isn’t going to be swept under the rug here
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
That was just... I don't even know. Not enough WHAT in the world for his responses.
Kyli - January 12, 2012
it was truly f-cking amazing. i'm beyond incredulous.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
It really was mind- numbing.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
it's a f-cking baseball blog. stop acting like you're saving the world. you're not. it's not that f-cking hard. and get over yourself. F_CK!
that is all. i feel better now
stm72 - January 13, 2012
{sobs}
I’m so sorry, stm. I’ll never question authority again. ( but the way, if you had added, (…the GIANTS…) in your last sentence, I would have REC’D! it. :)
On a lighter note, it’s warming up enough for me to go outside and work on the ramp!
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
yeah that wasn't aimed at you. just at the ether. must be a friday the 13th related diatribe.
it’s gonna be a beautiful day in the city. going to wine country this weekend and it’s going to be epic weather wise, me thinks.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
so, sorry and hope you enjoy the day working outside.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
WooHoo! It's Friday, January 13th!
My wife and I met on this day, 28 years ago! This is why Friday the 13th is soooo special tuu us. Time to break out the fine China, and have a special dinner.
I hope you have a great weekend in Napa.
( I do know you didn’t aim it at me.☺ I was just funnin’ with you). I thought it was funny, that he/she wanted AN to return to what he envisioned, yet has only 29 comments since 2008. Sounds like a lurker. If he isn’t involved in the conversations, he does nothing to improve/help the site.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
When I read quietfans profile, I was wondering...
Is AN just a research site for a grant he has? Is he one who never participates, but uses his position to judge others? very strange that he has so little influence in the day-to-day growth of AN. Hell, SCOTT BROSIUS had more impact!
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
...Bed. changing names has more impact...
BOOBIES! has more impact. If dan, LB, and others, follow elcroata and leave, What does quietfan bring to the table to help?
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
i think his/her warning should be a warning to the powers at be. so many great posters have left this site. there are still a few left, but many of them have shifted the market share of their comments elsewhere. it depends what nico/blez want the site
to be. part of being an a’s fan is embracing the sabr-revolution. without guys like elcroata, salb (who left a long time ago), dfa, PT, etc…this site loses a lot of the value that i’ve come to enjoy. it’s not the only thing i enjoy, but it’s an important part of what i enjoy about the game and our little franchise that could/might/someday again be
just my 2 cents
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Amen to this!
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
I assumed it was a troll account, TBH.
Kyli - January 13, 2012
i think it's okay to be a lurker and complain about the declining quality of the site. congrats to you and the missus. going with a new girl, so hopefully i'm on a beautiful adventure too.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Oh, I have no problem per se.
But if someone doesn’t participate, how does the rest of the site know what they are thinking? I consider it like someone who complains about governments, yet won’t vote. Has he ever posted to stop the meta/snarkiness? Sometimes being quiet is part of the problem.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
it's not their silence that's the notable or important. it's that they felt the need to speak up.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I must be missing something, stm.
If he has a problem with the past, yet hasn’t spoken until now, his silence helped get us here. If the silent majority don’t speak up, how is anyone to know where to take the site? If, say, 50 people in the past, had stated the same position as he every time snarkiness presented itself, those who are upset with management’s position may see the they aren’t the majority they envision.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
to me it's like a pressure cooker. the release valve only sings its tune above a certain temp/pressure, not below. he's the pressure cooker and he's singing now. the important part is that he's singing.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Ok, I can see that.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
that's how i read his comments anyway
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Yeah, I know there are a lot of people that have probably communicated their concerns to Nico privately over the years.
He may have been taking lot of heat, that we don’t know about. If they had been more involved publicly, this may never have reached the boiling point.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
what's happening is so insane that there has to be more to the story. if it only is what it is, then i've misjudged people horribly.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Me too.
Thats why i think this has been brewing for a long time. mikev may have been just the one who was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
that's why i posted what i posted about this just being a baseball blog. somebody is having delusions of grandeur, i just don't know who it is (though i have guesses).
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I'm just a regular old moron.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Yeah, I read that thread...
Damn. Just… damn.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
it's fully nuts
stm72 - January 12, 2012
Yep.
Me too. Sigh. Such a shame.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
it boggles the mind
stm72 - January 12, 2012
that what happens when people shove their heads fully and firmly up their own asses
Hi everyone!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
whassup bro
stm72 - January 12, 2012
Chickie, are you planning to reverse-engineer Twinkies if Hostess goes under?
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I already have all the recipes
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
CHICKIE FOR PRESIDENT!
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
I WILL BE THE KEEPER OF THE HOLY RECIPES!!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
You could re-engineer them
Green Twinkie, gold filling.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
easy
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
DO IT!
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
they do sell the molds for them...
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Oakinkies!
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
huh
I really like that
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Because who doesn't want something called Oh, kinky....
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
especially the crowd we are going for
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Sounds more like a sex toy.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
well, the shape is close
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
If they get stale, maybe
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
Yeah, I'd imagine the mushy-ness wouldn't exactly be ideal.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
oh pshh
we all know they last forever
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
The Hostess ones do
Yours wouldn’t have 11 million chemicals in them. On the other hand, yours would actually be good, so they probably wouldn’t last long enough to be stale.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
this is true
but I can make some chemically ones, just in case
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Make those ones orange
with black filling.
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
oooooo
good idea
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Hey Chickie
Bed. - January 12, 2012
hey sexy
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
I dunno.
We stay in here, waste SBN’s bandwidth, and don’t buy any of the products advertised on the site….is that a problem?
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I am totally with you on that
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Or better yet, Adblock.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
got that running already too
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
same here
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
Yep.
I have to laugh when all the complaints about ads heat up. I don’t have to see them.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
winner
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
use the site any way you wish, until you piss somebody off apparently
stm72 - January 12, 2012
the lounge will be safe
and it’s been made clear to me by others here that I need to stay a mod solely so that I can open up new lounge threads….

You'll always be useful to us. <3
We just want to use you for your powerz.

Ah....have I mentioned how awesome you are?

ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Spank me, whip me. Make me your Lounge slave.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
Yes, yes you do
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I guess if I stay on as a front page writer, I can make new lounge threads too.
But I resigned my mod-ship today.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
you better keep the power to keep the lounge going too
all we got is you and gigs
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
holy frack
stm72 - January 12, 2012
oh, stay on as a fpw through the summer
I won’t be around for most of June and July, and we might need more than one lounge thread then….assuming AN still exists then….
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
maybe it will end up like the original planet of the apes!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
The summer's a long time from now!
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
just do it
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
because of all this?
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
Yes.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
that is a real shame IMHO
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
We're going through tough times
and unlike the last time it’s only 75% Chickie’s fault.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
There's just so much poop everywhere.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
[poop]
its my new diet
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
That doesn't sound very nutritious.
Or tasty.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
I AM THE KEEPER!
YOU WILL EAT MY POOP AND LIKE IT!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
[sob]
okay
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
hey, he brought me mac 'n' cheese after my surgery last week.
I’m willing to cut him some slack this time.
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
damn skippy
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
I respect that you did what you felt was right, Dan.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I do too
But I think we should stick around a bit and be part of the solution, if there is one.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I said to Nico how I felt on the meta thread
I feel like I’ve done what I could but if there’s more I can do I will.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
There's a lot of wisdom in this.
Honestly, I doubt I’m ready to hang it all up. Just frustrated right now.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
That's completely understandable.
Everyone’s (rightfully) frustrated right now.
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
Thanks.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
That saddens me greatly, DanBot
You are one of the finest statistical minds we have on the site. But you gotta’ do what you gotta’ do, I guess. Don’t leave us completely, though, or I’ll deactivate you.
darooster - January 13, 2012
he's giving up mod duties, not front page duties
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Oh, well in that case,
who gives a shit! ;)
But seriously, that’s a big symbolic gesture, I respect that.
darooster - January 13, 2012
we all do, but it's not just symbolic. it's a sign that the frustration the posters feel is bigger than a simple misunderstanding. something more troubling is going on.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
it's also a sign that even the mods are having trouble justifying what we are being asked to enforce
just sayin….
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Yep.
I can’t in good faith enforce something I feel so strongly against.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
i hear ya brother. i hear ya.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
that's exactly my point. it's not shallow; it's deep.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Deep?
And here I thought it was always derp
darooster - January 13, 2012
Thanks, man.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Did I hallucinate that you were the one to reinstate mikev?
Kyli - January 13, 2012
to be fair, I had a drunken email agreeing with that decision.
though really, it may have already been done by then, but I needed to make sure to get my vote in, even if it meant setting down the bottle of beer to send the message…… ;)
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Your first mistake was not using a beer hat.
Kyli - January 13, 2012
very true
second mistake was reading AN while drunk. Oh wait, I do that a lot…
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Nope.
I pulled the trigger, but it was with Nico’s permission.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Okay, just curious, because when he said in the New Meta that he was the one to reinstate MikeV,
I had a moment of brainpuzzle.
Kyli - January 13, 2012
I haven't bought any yet
and god knows I’ve wasted a hell of a lot of AN’s bandwidth the last 3 years.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
turn it green!!!
lof this
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
alright enough from me. g'night all.
stm72 - January 12, 2012
nite!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Night man.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
See you!
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
night
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
Two songs for AN
Burn Down the Mission by Elton John and Turn the Page by Bob Seger.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
the roof, the roof
is already on fire
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
what are two artists I don't really care for
unless the former is doing a duet with Eminem
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
turn the page by metallica. better version.
stm72 - January 12, 2012
That's a damned good cover.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
it really is...and it fits their road warrior mentality well
stm72 - January 12, 2012
After the black album or whatever it is called I started to hate them
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
i like garage inc and death magnetic
stm72 - January 12, 2012
The black album was good.
Load…had its moments, sorta. After that, it was really downhill.
danmerqury - January 12, 2012
Well, I'll go with the Seger version but he's one of my favorites.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I rarely need a shoulder and neck rub
but I really need one tonight. ouch.
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Me too,
I slept all wrong a couple of nights ago and haven’t quite recovered.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I still can't sleep through the night
keep rolling onto my back, which hurts my head, which wakes me up.
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
We can't sleep through the night either....our new roomie keeps waking us up with her odd hours.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
you should kick her out
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
She could at least help on the rent
Bed. - January 12, 2012
lazy ass
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
you're dreamin' !!!
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
LOL
spoken from experience, huh?
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
I had my back scratch today.....me happy.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I got some donuts instead
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
A worthy substitute
UrgentMirth - January 12, 2012
dude, you shoulda said something earlier!
I would’ve given you a neck rub at the movie. Of course, you’d have to sit on the floor in front of my seat, because I would still want to watch the movie, but hey, it works….
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
hahaha I could just see people stare at us then
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
The he would have found my phone! :D
Kyli - January 12, 2012
this is true
“yeah, while you are down there…”
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Gonna go...I think I will make it through this week. ;-)
Hope to see you manana
Berry Jo - January 12, 2012
BYE JOJO!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
good night jojo!
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
Hang in there Jo!
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
Bye my dear
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Good night, sleep well!
YonYonson - January 12, 2012
night
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
I like to pretend Future Ed is still here making smart ass jokes at exactly the right time.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I heard past ed is gonna take his place in the lounge
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Hmm....I hear all his jokes are older than mine are though.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
that cannot be possible
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Fair point
the only people with older jokes than me are dead.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Ah the little drummer boy.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I'm stepping out for a bit
I had to come up to the station to do a bit of work. Now it’s done, but I’ll check in again from home. If I miss anyone, see you next time….
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
So, I started watching the united states of tara on netflix
its a kinda fucked up show. I like kinda fucked up shows
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
That's fucked up.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
fuckin A
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
Well, we've now seen every new movie at the video store
and I liked 3 of them.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I downloaded every new movie
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
I've done that a few times on i-Tunes.
I liked…..Warrior, Moneyball and Blackthorn…..Miss Hawaii liked The Hangover Part 2 more than me but it was okay.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
the one that actually surprised me
was friends with benefits. I did not think I’d like it
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
I saw the one with Natalie Portman that had the same plot but twice as much Ashton.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I avoided that one
even though natalie was in it
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
I see all her movies for uh.....research.
It was bad but in a pleasant sort of way.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
Okay, I made myself promise to turn the computer off at 11 and try to get some sleep, so I'm going to do that.
Goodnight lounge friends. Have a wonderful Friday!
gigglingone - January 12, 2012
You too, gigs......I hope you sleep better.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
nite lounge mistress!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
night
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
Interesting day on AN....I laughed, I got pissed, I rec'd, I flagged, I made a joke about ladyboys.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
So does Bloom only post in meta threads now?
I miss the slim polar bear.
Bed. - January 12, 2012
I'm [poop]ing out too
off to netflixland
nite!
ChickenStanley - January 12, 2012
night
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
You're a wonderful group of folks.
I hope things get better on AN soon…..Be well, Brian
Bed. - January 12, 2012
cya
Copenhagen - January 12, 2012
I'm back, but are you all gone to bed?
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
I'm so happy! I got to be the last one up
That never happens. Back to work on the early shift next week, though.
Englishmajor - January 12, 2012
So I've not been to the Front Page for a while.
Has AN died?
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
Not quite.
Just a lot of frustrations. It sounds like the cure is coming.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
.
Yeah everyone’s gotta have the sickness
’Cause everyone seems to need the cure
cure by metallica
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I've noticed FK has a TON more activity of late.
It used to be dead over there.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
I just hope the cure isn't worse than the problem
I still have bad memories of some childhood medicines…..
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
(It's a tale as old as time)
Kyli - January 13, 2012
OMG!!!
My boss said we can leave at 3 today!! So I will DEFINITELY be on time for the movie!! YAY!!!!!!!
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Kyli - January 13, 2012
I've decided.
Chicken Cordon Bleu, Twice baked Potatoes, and Broccoli/Califlower. Can anyone suggest a good wine to go with this? She prefers white wine, but I don’t like bitter wines.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
a nice sauvignon blanc. if you wanna get fancy, a nice sancerre or viognier
stm72 - January 13, 2012
all soft whites
stm72 - January 13, 2012
or a french style chardonnay (stay away from a california style chardonnay). it's not where it's made, just the style. french chardonnay are softer on the butter/oak taste
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Cool! Thanks.
I’m more of a red wine person. This about her, though.
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
get a soft red like a pinot...sorta replaceable for a white wine and it'll work with chicken
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Ooh, that sounds like a great compromise
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
and pinots are reasonably priced
stm72 - January 13, 2012
There is no price tuu great for my Lady! ☺
Anyone who can put up with me for as long as she has…
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
i didn't say cheap. i said reasonably priced.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I went with the pinot.
We’ll find out in a couple of hours…
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
woo!
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I may have eaten too many twizzlers wiht my lunch......
blergh
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Red Vines > Twizzlers.
That’s your first problem.
Kyli - January 13, 2012
yep
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
Keep on fighting the good fight, Kyli.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
very true
but twizzlers come individually wrapped, which means I can have them on my desk for students so they don’t get their grimy germy hands all over the food I give out.
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
there is your mistake, giving away candy
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
We all give away candy in our offices
how else would we get the students to come see us!?!?
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
...You want them to?
But that cuts into internet time!
Kyli - January 13, 2012
well, I need them to come see me once a semester
the candy gets them in during that time.
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
They called the cops on me when I started giving out candy...
Then Jethro Tull wrote a song about me.☺
Tutu-late - January 13, 2012
This.
Kyli - January 13, 2012
hmm unsure how i feel about this, My Little Dragonborn
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
That's very, very strange
But the details are well done.
darooster - January 13, 2012
needs more pink and purple and rainbows
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
You feel awesome, that's how.
Kyli - January 13, 2012
Dead Lounge is dead.
Someone entertain me.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
hi
ZigFan31 - January 13, 2012
The kind of entertainment you'd provide (in my head) would get me banned.
So how’s things in Cali for Ziggy?
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
We should all get banned
and then Nico and his silent majority can laugh about goats.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'm willing to get banned for the right reasons
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
Looking for bans in all the wrong places.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Well lookin' for TnA would get me banned.
Honestly I’m not too fussed about the Meta threads because I rarely go on the front page anymore.
There’s NOTHING to talk about with regard to the A’s. This little feud that has boiled over into something significant neither interests or concerns me. It’ll blow over.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
It will blow over but I think many folks have left over it
and most of them were people I liked.
For me the worst part is that there are now two guys I really liked that I no longer believe a word they say about anything.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Also, cookies.
I’d get banned for cookies.
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
I'm influential about cookies according to Klout
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
I'm influential no where.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
ooo la la
Cali is good. Just finished dinner and I’m stuffed. Working on trying to rent out my old place. Wanna move to SoCal?
ZigFan31 - January 13, 2012
Hells yes.
There’s just that pesky need for a job, otherwise I’d already be there.
OldhamA - January 14, 2012
Lots of jobs in SoCal!
ZigFan31 - January 14, 2012
I'll take your word for it.
I think that there’s too much red tape for it to happen for me though – from what I’ve read I’d have to be the standout candidate (i.e. the company would have to prove that only I can do the job) to be in with a sniff.
OldhamA - January 15, 2012
I think you mean Dead AN is dead
Bed. - January 13, 2012
The Meta thread looks lively
OldhamA - January 13, 2012
Oh yes...so much fun
So I guess it’s us loungers who are killing traffic on AN now. Some folks when they become mods begin to act like this is their personal blog.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
HEY.
You take that back!
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Sorry....I'm such a bad boy these days.
But I’m still here so I guess I must love this place.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Unilaterally BANNED, sir.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
And all of AN says..."it's about time"
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Am I wrong or is the Pineda trade a steal for the Yankees?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
i don't think we know the full deal yet brother. but yes, given what was traded for cahill/gonzalez/latos, the deal seems light for the M's
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I only saw a couple of his starts but I was impressed with Pineda
but at least now I won’t have to hear about Montero being in every trade rumor anymore.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I've seen very convincing arguments on both sides, from very smart people.
I’m thinking it’s pretty fair, maybe tilted towards the Yankees a bit, only because Campos > Noesi.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
even in the context of what the a's and pads got back for their starting pitchers?
stm72 - January 13, 2012
It gives the Evils that second stud starter they've needed for a while now.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Who gets better first.....A's or M's?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
A's
The M’s will never get better. They are doomed to perpetually wallow in mediocrity
darooster - January 13, 2012
They are no longer my pick to win the West this year.
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
If you put a gun to my head and said name 5 Mariners I'd just say pull the trigger.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Jesus Montero
Felix Hernandez
Justin Smoak
Ichiro Suzuki
um…
shit.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
gutierrez, league
stm72 - January 13, 2012
OH GOD I FORGOT BRANDON LEAGUE
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
your man crush!
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I'm saving my love for Cam Newton
Bed. - January 13, 2012
not yours, danmerq's
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Yeah I can read I know who you were talking to
I just like to declare my love for Cam whenever I can.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
okey dokey
stm72 - January 13, 2012
If I could I'd become a Panthers fan
but I’m a Raiders junkie for life it would seem.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Is Harold Reynolds still playing for the M's?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
In regards to Montero I've read that Yankee prospects tend to get overrated
is that the case here? He’s been on the block for a couple of years now and he’s not known for his defense so all his value is as a hitter going to a park that’s hard to hit in.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
He's a legit A grade prospect, in my eyes.
Absurd upside, very young, his only knock is that he seemed to stagnate in AAA after destroying the league the previous year.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Cause he had no positional home with NY since they have like 3 DH candidates on the field
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
Half the Yanks infield should DH at this point
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Pretty much.
Teixeira and Cano can stay. The other two? Not so much.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
That A-Rod contract just keeps getting more and more fun for the Yanks
They’re going to have to eat so much money coming up.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
So who looks better right now....Rangers or Angels?
and are the Rangers going to be the Buffalo Bills of MLB?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
The Rangers.
Especially if they sign Fielder. Apparently they met with Fielder today. But even minus him, they’re a better team offense and defense.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
If they get Prince I agree
that team would be able to rake up and down the lineup.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Mitch Moreland, their 1B, is the only weak link on the entire offense.
God, I’m so jealous.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Me too
Dallas outside of the Cowboys is having a good run in sports.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
On second thought, the Angels have a better rotation.
And it’s not close. Forgot about Weaver, Haren, AND Wilson. But Texas is still better, I think.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I really like what the Angels have
That 1-2-3 at the top of the rotation is really strong and I think Pujols is going to have a monster year.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I think Weaver or Santana get dealt this year when they implode before the ASB
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
When Braden and Anderson get healthy are they gone?
Is Weeks the only guy Beane won’t trade?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Possibly.
And it seems funny to me that Weeks is the only untradeable guy on the roster, since he really doesn’t strike me as an elite talent or anything.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I want to see what Weeks does in year two before I make up my mind on him.
He’s fun to watch and sometimes I overrate fun players.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Yeah, definitely don't get me wrong.
I like him, and I think he’ll be a solid player for a good long while. But not to that “untradeable” level of value.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
If I were a GM no one would be untradeable
You never know when a Godfather type offer might come around.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Braden has little value imo
I think Anderson stays for his contract
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
Why would the contract stop anything?
Certainly didn’t stop Beane from trading Cahill or Swisher.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
He could be the new Chavvy
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
So injury prone player who never leaves?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Ohhhh boy.
Incoming angry posts directed at Nico.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
way too fucking long to entertain the thought about reading on a subject that I am so over
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
I get it now....Nico thinks we're his students
and even if what we want is right it can only comes when he thinks it’s time.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
1 more hour of work then I'm clear for the weekend!
It’ll give me more time to change diapers and meta!….so more shit.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Heh.
How’s the kid treating you, Bed?
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
She's the best thing ever.
I’ve never know better times.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Aww.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
i think i just met a keeper woman. i hope to be where you're at someday
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I'm happy to hear that, stm72
I know they say how it changes everything but it really does.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
we went to a movie premiere here in sf last night. i was super impressed by how people reacted to her being there. made me think i found good peeps.
i have 4 nieces and 2 nephews. i held every single one on their first day…despite living in new york for some of their births. i’d never trade anything for the first time i held my sister’s first child. i can only imagine what it’ll be like when it’s my first.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
If your friends like your GF that's a really good sign
My friends all liked Miss Hawaii more than they liked me within 10 minutes of meeting her and my family loves her.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
not my friends, but other attendees that new her. their reactions were genuine and warm. it was impressive.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
*knew*
stm72 - January 13, 2012
It does sound like it made an impact on you.

I have to say....I have some really smart students this year.
Most of them are much better students than I was at their age.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Of course I was a smart ass know it all much more interested in sports over school
who didn’t do homework….ever.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'm starting to think the Packers ball boy will get interviewed for the Raiders job.
I still want someone who has been a head coach somewhere before but outside of Dom Capers I haven’t seen anyone linked to the job that has that on their resume.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
the game has changed so dramatically in the past 10-15 years that i agree, head coaching experience is a certain prerequisite.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
For me it's rookie owner + rookie GM + rookie head coach = bad idea.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Wouldn't a huge amount of change be an argument that you don't necessarily need someone with lots of experience?
If it’s changed a ton, somebody new would have an easier time than if it was set in its old ways, no?
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
i'm not saying they need 15 years of experience, just some. as we saw from old bob, there are a ton of personnel things that need to managed and they need to be done so actively. it's a tough transition for a coordinator or a position coach.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I am getting a kick out of how many Raider fans want Gruden back
I’m in but I think there’s a 1 in a billion chance. I want Billick but that’s not going to happen.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
i think gruden might be done coaching. he's got his ring, a cushy job and a fat paycheck.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I think he'll be back within 2 years but not with the Raiders
He’ll want big money and a GM that will do what he wants like he had in Tampa with Bruce Allen.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
i wanted billick for the niners if harbaugh fell through. the more i study billick though, the fact that he never developed a QB is troublesome
stm72 - January 13, 2012
That's true although since we have Palmer we'd only need him to work well with a vet.
I’ve just always liked him and he’s a Walsh guy which is big in my book.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
the walsh and parcells coaching trees are amazing
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Yep....part of the reason why is that they coached their coaches as well as their players.
In my mind Walsh is the most important football thinker since Paul Brown and it’s not a surprise he worked for him for years.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
steve young has said that if bill walsh wanted to be the best defensive coordinator vs offensive mind, he would have been. walsh revolutionized everything about the modern football game...diet, hydration, practice, etc... a truly amazing man.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I agree
and the book he wrote with Brian Billick is one of my favorite books on teaching and coaching ever.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
hmm...i'll have to check it out
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Imagine where Cincy would be if Brown had named Walsh his successor.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
They wouldn't have lost two Super Bowls to the 49ers that's for sure.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It's hard to picture Montana and Rice in Bengals uni's.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
It's hard to picture anyone in those awful uni's.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Ha, that's true.
Kinda random, but Ozzwife pronounces it “Bingals.” And then tells me I pronounce it wrong. Um, honey? Bengal is an Indian word. I think I’m a lot closer than she is.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
They might be the worst uni in sports
Maybe they call them the Bingals down in Texas.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
their loss...
stm72 - January 13, 2012
they didn't just not hire him, paul brown tried to black ball him from ever coaching again
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Seriously. Walsh must have eaten his puppy while fucking his daughter or something.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
The main thing I want to know does the new coach get to pick his own staff
and what type of offense and defense will the Raiders run.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I think they'll trade for Tebow and run the option.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
WooHoo!
Hey Oz…..glad to see you….or you talk to you…or um…read what you post on the internet and then reply to it.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
If onbly they'd invented the internet when I was in high school.
I would have had WAY more cyber sex.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
We had Apple II E's at my HS....you could make green dots do things on them.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
We had Mac's and PC's, but no internet.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
We had Macs too.....I basically wrote the entire sports section of the school paper on them my last two years.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I barely used the Macs back then.
Now I love Macs.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Those were the only Apples I ever used
and that was back in 1991-1992.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
We had Apple II's from 3rd to 8th grade.
And Macs from 6th to 8th, although we rarely used them.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I did have an Apple II when I was 12 or so......didn't use it much.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
My parents bought a PC when I was 13, just before HS started.
It had a 14 inch screen, 40 MB HD and 640k RAM. They bought a dot matrix printer as well.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
My first was a Commodore 64
back when I was in the 5th or 6th grade….I had it on a 10 inch TV….great for pong.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Haha!
We got a TRS-80 when Radio Shack put them on clearance for $30.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I was on the internet before all my friends with a Packard Bell PC
I like electronic toys I just don’t always know how to use them.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
We had Prodigy in the early '90's.
That was kinda fun, but it got old quickly.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
There wasn't much on the net back then
mostly just nerds talking about Star Trek and meta about AN.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I believe that ancient cave paintings have been recently translated as AN meta.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Did it involve jokes about goats?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
No, but there was a guy who kept saying he was going on sabbatical and then showing up again.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Oh...that guy
I hear the silent majority think he’s the best thing ever.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
What about the moral majority?
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Fuck those uptight bastards
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Ok, the Rainbow Coalition?
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
take a look...it's in a book...the reading rainbow
cue to the guy from Roots.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I heard he lost his sight and started wearing a hair band across his face.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Games this weekend
Saints over 49ers…sorry Oz…..Pats over the Tebows….sorry Jesus…..Packers over Giants…sorry New Jersey……Ravens over Texans…..sorry BBQ eaters.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
wow, i disagree on 3 of 4...only that ravens beat texans.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
oh sorry, i think the pats win too
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I feel good about all my picks
Bed. - January 13, 2012
niners score more points at home than saints score on the road. the saints offense is worse on grass. we'll see. actually i won't be watching the game, so i'll have to read about it. sigh
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I'll miss it too. I'm super-pissed.
The other problem for the Saints is that their defense kinda sucks.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
detroit dropped how many INTs? they coulda won in NO. it's a winnable game for the niners.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I also think that Alex Smith will be able to burn the Saints D when they blitz.
And I think they’ll blitz a lot.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Two things you can count on with the Saints
Lots of throws and lots of blitzing.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Yep.
ANd they’ve been burned a lot. I think they’ve given up more 40+ yard pass plays than any other defense.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
and you can run on them but most teams are down big early so they don't.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'd love to see the 49ers use screen passes to get Gore the ball with some room to run.
He’ll torch them in the open field, but it seems like Harbaugh doesn’t like to throw to his backs much.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
If I'm the 49ers I pound the ball and snap with only 1 second on the clock
and try and keep the Saints O off the field and shorten the game.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Yeah, I'd definitely try to hold the ball for as long as possible.
But I’d also use a lot of play action and some screens and quick slants to try to beat their blitzes.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Play action would be set up by the runs hopefully
Perfect would be 40 minutes with the ball and a 65-35 run pass split and a 17-14 win.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
The 49ers have run the ball so much, and so successfully, all year that the play action is all but set up already.
I mean if you’re a LB and you think you see Frank Gore getting the ball, you have to go after him. You have to make Gore a non-factor and force Alex Smith to beat you.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
You think the Packers will lose to the Giants?
Sorry, I just don’t see it.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I see the Pack big
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Score predictions:
Pats, 38-13
Ravens, 24-9
Packers, 35-21
SF, 17-13
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Solid
Bed. - January 13, 2012
i think the giants are peaking exactly right. especially on defense.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Fair enough.
The Pack just feels like a team of destiny to me. I don’t think anyone is going to stop them.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
If it is the Pack vs Saints NFC Title game it's first one to 42 wins.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Oldham will be cussing a blue streak.
He hates offense.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I think you mean offence if we're talking OA
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Oh yeah, what was I thinking?
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I wouldn't watch.
OldhamA - January 14, 2012
Oh, and someone will get to 42 by the half in that game.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
unless it's the chiefs?
stm72 - January 14, 2012
you don't have to. just i do.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
I agree with all except the 49ers.
NO has a good offense, but they’re not nearly as dynamic on the road and the 49ers defense is really amazing. When your biggest weakness is a secondary that led the league in interceptions, you’re doing something right.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Well, good luck
I think the Saints will win by 10 or more.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'm putting this down in writing:
17-13 SF.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Saints 27 49ers 17
Bed. - January 13, 2012
i think like 27-24 or so
stm72 - January 13, 2012
GO SAINTS!
(sorry Ozz)
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Woo!
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
nite all. time for dinner and drinks.
stm72 - January 13, 2012
Have fun, see ya later!
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Sounds like a good night....good luck with your 49ers tomorrow.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
You ever notice most of the folks who say we should get back to writing about baseball
never post much in the baseball posts but find a way to post about how much they hate meta in the meta posts.
Bed. - January 13, 2012

ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Hey Chickie....how's it hanging?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
a little to the left
how about you?
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Right up the middle.....I'm a moderate.
and I’m doing great except I think I now have about 2 more hours of work.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'm making cookies for tomorrow
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
How odd....I plan on tossing my cookies tomorrow.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Me?
Long, hard, across the yard.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Hey Bro.
I hear your woman is divorced, or getting divorced, or something.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
getting, yes
I’m fine. how you doing?
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Pretty good.
Tried exercising yesterday. It wasn’t pretty, and physically I feel like shit today. But mentally, I feel great and I’m planning to keep it going.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Thankfully I got my run in this morning.....I so needed it.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I tried to run yesterday.
I’m a little sore today and I slept like the dead last night.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Keep at it and you'll feel great soon enough.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
That's what I'm thinking.
Or my heart will explode and Ozzwife will collect the insurance money.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
So it's a win win.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Precisely.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I just get drunk and dance
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
That works too.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
The amount of alcohol it would take to get me to dance would probably kill me.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
We're going dancing tomorrow night.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Good luck with that.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Lucks got nothing to do with it....but I hope to get lucky.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Andrew Luck has everything to do with it, actually.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I need there to be about 34 hours in every day.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Me too.
Eighteen hours of sleep a day just ain’t cuttin’ it.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Shit.....I haven't slept 18 hours this month.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
That's what you get for making a baby.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
ain't that the truth
although she’s mellow tonight so I feel a good night of sleep coming.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
My sister's kids just started sharing a room.
The younger one is 5 months old, so I’m guessing she’s sleeping through the night.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
My girl was doing great until this week.....it's been a rough one
Miss Hawaii took her in today and she’s fine so just a bout of being an infant I guess.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Shit happens. She'll be fine.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
The damn battery in my 2011 Ford Explorer is dead!
Bed. - January 13, 2012
You should turn off the lights when you're not using it.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I'm going to jump it when she gets back from the store
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'd recommend jumping your wife.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I plan to do that as well.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
No complaints so far....but it's early.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Shit, I'd be done by now.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Me love you long time
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Me love you quickly and awkwardly, then me leave and never call again.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012

Hey Yon.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
So now Miss Hawaii has the keys to my heart and my Mustang
Bed. - January 13, 2012
My heart doesn't lock.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
My heart doesn't block worth a damn.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
So it could play for the Browns.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
It mostly played the field.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Heart-whore.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I feel like going swimming....too bad it's 20 outside and I don't have a pool
It’s too late to hit the club too…..oh how I suffer.

First World Problems.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Pretty much
the only thing wrong in my life is my blog so my life is fine.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I have it truly rough.
I wanted lobster and prime rib for dinner, but the wife wasn’t interested. So I had to eat 2 kinds of cheese, 3 kinds of meat, and a baguette.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Down to 6 Diet Cokes today but I did do two bumps out of a dime bag so it's mixed news.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I've had 6 dark chocolate peanut butter cups.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Sicko
Bed. - January 13, 2012
You've got good taste
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Thanks, I like to think so.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
It might 70 here on Monday....might be time for a golf....uh I mean sick day.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It was 48 here today.
BRRR!!!
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
It's 26 outside right now.....I took the dog for a nice 3 minute walk
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Yes, but you chose to live in a place that gets cold.
I don’t choose to live in SC for the people or the politics.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I came to Arkansas for a woman and stayed for the roadkill
I was a California boy who met an Oklahoma girl in Kansas and then moved to Arkansas before trying to move to North Carolina which lead me to marry a Hawaiian girl and move her back to Arkansas.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Now my head hurts.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Mine too...but it all worked out in the end.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It sure did.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
It's too bad there isn't a Chez Nico this weekend.....that would be a lot of fun.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I came to work to see my aunt, who is a patient still. (she's pissed she isn't dead yet.)
They asked me to stay around and work a night shift. I did. Now I have someone working a few hours for me in the morning, then I’m coming back in to finish my 16 hour shift. I can do this.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Hang in there.
If my anemic, 90 pound sister can survive a 16 hour shift, so can you.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Did you just call me fat?
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Um, I don't think so?
I’m not sure though. I don’t speak Woman.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
In Woman it's Bingal
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Oh, I thought that was just an accent.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I've heard it both ways
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Make sure to eat to get all the energy you'll need.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I have to say Bloom, Future Ed and attijah have been so funny in the lounge I have going in my head right now.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Forgot to take your meds again?
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I just miss folks
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I understand, it's been quiet around here lately.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Yeah and I know I'm whining but I hate how the site is at the moment and it's all one guys fault.....BL!
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I thought it was sirbed's fault.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I wish...nothing he said mattered so we could all just ignore it.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Much like me. Cool.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Yeah Oz...we're killing traffic on AN here in the lounge
unlike the silent majority who have 28 posts in 4 years.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I think the silent majority is just a bumch of sock puppets set up by the evil Chickie.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Sadly all of the Sock Puppet Army is buried with the General in Utah.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'm sure they got full military honors, though.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
That and all the Quaker Oats we could fit in the coffin
It was the right thing to do and the tasty way to bury them.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I am the keeper of the sacred recipes
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
So Twinkies are not made out of recycled socks?
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
maaaaaaaybe...
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Better pack a lunch.
I think it’s going to be like this for a while, kid.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I can't wait to see what the dear leader's new plan will be.
I don’t have high hopes.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
The new plan is to make you the Blogfather.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
and so came the end of AN
Bed. - January 13, 2012
UPGRADE!
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
+1
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
My nursey friends and I have a hand gesture that is very.... fitting right now.
BRB, I’ll find a link to a video of it.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
We should all switch to your avatar pic for how things are going.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Let's see if you can guess which one it is...
http://youtu.be/YT0JPQH9wW0
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
in fact
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I love that movie. I need to watch it again.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I have my avatars turned off.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I'll be flipping off AN for the rest of the night if you don't mind
The donkey will return soon.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
What are you talking about, I never left.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I've left twice but sadly I keep coming back
by my next AN break there might just be about 7 or so people left.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
oe else the lounge blows up because its the only safe place on AN
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I really want to stay here
but if everyone leaves what would be the point?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
there will always be some of us staying here
just out of spite. I know I will be as long as there is a lounge
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Me too.
Assuming others are still here. I’m not gonna hang out here alone.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
The few, the proud, the passive-aggressives!
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
yeah
what Nina said!
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
(just because I know how much someone hates the Lounge)
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
as long as dan and gigs have power
there will be a lounge
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
They're our only advocates.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
People who hate the Lounge can go fuck themselves
Who does it hurt?….it’s not on the front page so if you don’t like it don’t read it.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
head ----> ass
thats the only reason. no sense of humor
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Yeah some people who think they're funny
sure don’t have much of a sense of humor.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
becaue its a selfish humor
its about making fun of others, and not in a nice way and then not being able to take it themselves
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Bingo....I tease everyone
including myself and I love it when people tease me…..him not so much.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
shut up asshole
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
You're banned unless you talk to me in person.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
you are real?
how would I know, since I still haven’t received neither wedding nor baby photos. I knew you didn’t really love me
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Sorry about the baby pics
I’m in negotiations with a slightly overprotective Mom but I’m getting there….I feel bad about the whole thing.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
heehee I can imagine
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I guess but it does seem like we might be at the end of something special
There are a lot of folks who don’t come around anymore and it shows.
That this is all over one guys BS is what pisses me off the most and the more he writes the more obvious it is that he should leave.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
time will bring some back
some will just be too stubborn to do it, but others will miss the friendships and the lounge is here for that
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
At least his great 2012 A's team will bring us all back.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
gotta like these kids!
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I really hope the Lounge doesn't get overrun.
I like the group we have. I don’t want a bunch of malcontents ruining it.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
it hasn't happened yet
so I doubt it will
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Prolly not, since even some AN regulars don't know how to find it.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
oh people do know how
they just won’t
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
That's fine with me.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I don't care what happens
as long as the “rules” here don’t change
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Yep.
I think the Lounge is a good thing for AN.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I know huh?
like, how dare we actually talk about what we want, be able to police ourselves, anything goes humor and lots of real friendships.
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Yeah, the self-policing thing
is what I loved about old AN. People were civil, there was really no need for rules other than “Hey, don’t be a complete dick.”
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
yeah
how hard is that? unless you only want to be a dick but not have people be a dick back at you. talk about immaturity
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Again it would seem Nico thinks we're his students
We’re not….we’re adults and he along with iglew is not my boss.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
thin skin and power are not a good mix
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
It sure isn't
Bed. - January 13, 2012
If I have any authority at all after this is done,
you bet your ass the Lounge is staying.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
yup.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
That's fine.
The Lounge is the only safe place around here.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
It's a fucking minefield out there.
I feel like we should start stocking up on supplies and rationing in here.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Or rename the Lounge "The Fallout Shelter."
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
hell, even before the stupid shit
this was the only place I liked on AN since it was created
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
AN used to be much different.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
yeah, fun
the head wasn’t up the ass so far as it is now
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
It was easier to write good baseball-related content
when there was good baseball to write about.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
thats a huge part of it too
winning cures all ills
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Going to be a lot of sick people around here
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Me too, bro.
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
I've been hiding in the lounges for months
game threads even scared me for a while back in august and september, and the last DLD was sometime in 2009 I think…
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Game threads should be good
once we get into the broadcast portions of spring training.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
I've loved game threads the most
but like last season I won’t be in very many.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It's okay
The A’s won’t be in very many games.
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Hence why I won't be there
If I want to see a loser I’ll look in the mirror.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
You're a winner
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
or the raiders blog
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Ah...the Raiders blog
Where there aren’t enough people to have a meta war kind of what AN will be like in a couple of weeks.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Maybe someone could write a program to extract comments of the departed from old Lounges
and re-post them at random?
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
Sounds cool
there are at least 50,000 sirbed posts about VORP we could use
Bed. - January 13, 2012
So there's this funny SFGate blog post about
the 2012 Oakland A’s calendar.
I think I could create a “12 months of tears” calendar, showing 12 players the A’s have traded or failed to sign.
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Someone did a FanPost about it
The SFGate post was good. That’s the guy who writes and curates their parenting blog, The Poop.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
I honestly haven't checked AN today
and I went right for the lounge.
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Wise you are, young one
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
OHOHOOH boy.
Don’t read anything on the right hand side of the page. It’s best for all involved.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Well, I lied
I read that post this morning. But I didn’t read anything else, like none of the regular fanposts.
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Well, I'm pooped.
Good night, all!
ozzman99 - January 13, 2012
Bye Oz...have a good weekend
Bed. - January 13, 2012
nite brother
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
cheers
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
Good night
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
HOT DAMN....done with work....I just gave everyone a B to be done with it.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I found my ancestor
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
He looks yummy.....we're gonna have one hell of a bbq tonight folks.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Nobody asks him why he's crossing the road
They just get the hell out of his way.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
rawr
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
LOL
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door, the one you found so easy to ignore.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
If I stay on AN I might only just do Huey Lewis lyrics....that should get me banned.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Please. It's hip to be square.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I want a new drug
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I need a new rug
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I need anew, ugh
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
I love the "Bradford" deleted scene in Moneyball
Howe: “I could’ve coached you up, you know?”
Beane: “I don’t think so.”
Howe: “Thought you were that bad of a player?”
Beane: “That’s what I meant.”
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
The XXX version....
I can feel it cumming in my hair tonight.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
what hair?
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Hmm fair point both Phil and I have none.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Alternate lines from "There's Something About Mary"?
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
That would work too
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'm about three knuckles deep in classic movies.
I’m sad to be going back to school.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
on netflix? hehe
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
A little.
I purchased some. Got some from an illegal source, too.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I like your style
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Thieving bastards the both of you....I'm calling the FBI, CIA, DHS and MSNBC
Bed. - January 13, 2012
don't forget FOX
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I try to
Bed. - January 13, 2012
canada has
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
pfft.... Canada...all they now about is hockey and beer.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I always try to guess who used my netflix
when I first see the recent movies watched. It can be quite difficult at times
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Guilty. LOL
Paul Newman is my latest kick. But I’m watching “The Way We Were” right now. I bought it though. Robert Redford in uniform. [shudders] I’m less than 10 minutes in and I already want to cry.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I'm glad you are able to enjoy netflix :D
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I know I've grabbed the wrong MP3 player when I hear Adele singing about some poor bastard who did her wrong.
Seriously is that all she sings about?…..My wife loves her though so I’ve only heard the songs 14,000,000 times.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
How much longer do you have to go, Jennifer?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I have until June for this part. I'll be an LPN, but I'm going to AT LEAST get my RN, so that's another year.
If I get my BSN (why stop?) that’s another year, since I have all my non-nursing classes done.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I've though about getting my PhD but then I remember I like to live life
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I thought about getting my NP, but after 2015 I'll need a DNP instead of an MSN.
I don’t know if I want to be that awesome. I come from poor folk. I’ll be the first to get a degree other than an associates.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I was the first person in my family to graduate college.
But my days of being a student are over…..now I’m the one who knocks.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
All the nurses here told me not to stop. It's easier to go on now than it is to go back.
This is my second try at college. The first one got me a career that lasted six years.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I remember you talking about this being your second profession
I didn’t start teaching until I was 31….I would have been a lousy teacher if I had started at 25….I had other things I needed to try.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I think I've rec'd about 200 posts today.
Mostly my own.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Have you ever known someone who looks really great sometimes but really awful at other times?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Thanks for letting me look after your haunted house Molag Bal.
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
He's such a sweet guy, isn't he?
UrgentMirth - January 13, 2012
The Pirates site gets more hits than AN.....okay.....it's over.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Um as flawed as Alexa is
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
How did we do in the swimsuit part of the competition?
grover has numbers in iglew’s little manifesto.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
As much as I like iglew and I probably agree with what he wrote
I’m not in the mood to read all of that as well as participating in more meta.
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
It's metastic!
UrgentMirth - January 13, 2012
zombie!
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Chickie!
You can respond tomorrow, if you must
UrgentMirth - January 14, 2012
You've had some great posts on this stuff, UrgentMirth
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Thanks Bed.
I was out of town for the initial explosion, but figured I’d weigh in on the subsequent kerfuffles.
UrgentMirth - January 14, 2012
Just so long as it's not metastatic
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
Heh
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I liked iglew but since he became a mod he mostly seems to like to tell folks what to do.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Against my better judgement I read it and shocking..I agree with him
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
Well, Cope if I don't like clearly you will....isn't that how everything works?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Just gonna further the myth that iglew and me are one in the same
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
I can tell the difference
you’re way more laid back
Bed. - January 13, 2012
you would like me more if you were.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I'd like you more if you showed up to events I attended I'm sure
as is I still like you very much
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
this is true
Cope has been to more events than you Bloomie. I never thought that was even possible
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
um, what?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
not on events I'm actually invited to.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
At the risk of exposing my psychic abilities, I will share Bloom's response to the next seven events:
“Can’t make it, gotta work.”
UrgentMirth - January 14, 2012
I think Cope replaced you
when you stopped going, he started showing up.
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
okay.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
maybe...
he IS you…
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
no, his goatee is better.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
he does have a fine one
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Just use Sitemeter.
Linked at the bottom of every page. The little rainbow square.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I blocked those long ago with ABP
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
I tried that,
as well as blocking fbcdn and the other annoying connectivity one, but it seemed to make the page unstable for me.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I fought the law and the law beat me with sticks and stomped on my rights....and won.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
don't forget about breaking all your bones, leaving a gun by your twitching corpse and going for coffee.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Here come the come coppers real crime stoppers
Bed. - January 13, 2012
um, should I ask what a come copper is?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
No.....I had a bit too much come in that sentence
Bed. - January 13, 2012
karma karma karma chameleon...
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
earlier it was too much cum
Bed. - January 13, 2012
With me if you ask me to do something I'll most likely do it
if you tell me to do something you can go fuck yourself.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I have to say the flip off guy in the avatar pic is very preppy.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
So I'm going to be gone for the weekend will AN still be here when I get back?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
We'll do our best
Or we’ll leave a trail of breadcrumbs.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
I'll just look for the dead bodies from the meta wars.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Oh boy....Grandma is back in prison....another bar fight.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
at least she didn't use a knife this time....just a beer bottle.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
hi.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Hi there
How have you been doing?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I've been a little stressed out and stuff.
I seem to be attracting a lot of rejection lately.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
that happens
makes those “yes” moments even sweeter
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
true, but as a young thin Bloom, I almost never heard no.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I'm used to hearing no
Don’t let it bug you. Just keep on truckin.
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Sorry to hear that
You’ll only attract good things here.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
lol!
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Not buying that huh?
I can’t say I blame you.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
things have been hectic.
I’ll quit being a mod if he makes me, but I’ll be damned if he’s gonna run me out of here.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Yep....I won't quit but I am going to tell him to his face what I think of him
same with iglew.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
of course WaddellCanseco already took him down.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
wait, there's been new?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
iglew has his new manifesto of bullshit
Bed. - January 13, 2012
oh wow. worth reading or is my serenity better served without?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I think the answer goes without saying
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
[sigh]
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Meh....it's long and it's Class A iglew
I’d pass
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I enjoyed the references to The Odyssey...
whiteshoes40 - January 13, 2012
Those were over my head
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I just stick to o brother where art thou
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I liked that movie
I learned most of my myth stuff from Clash Of The Titans.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
LOL
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Hi 'shoes!
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
Hey EM, how are things?
whiteshoes40 - January 13, 2012
i've been off work all week
That’s been lovely. But I had 1000 projects to do in my time off, and I’ve done about 3 of them.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
Three projects done! Yay!
I’m lucky if I accomplish one thing when I’m in a similar situation, so congrats on your productive vacation!
whiteshoes40 - January 13, 2012
What about the Gilbert and Sullivan ones?
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Over my head, but I do appreciate the effort.
whiteshoes40 - January 13, 2012
It's a new adventure every moment!
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
Heh
this has been an interesting couple weeks on AN.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Can't we just leave shit alone?
I mean, really?
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Sorry Yon but that's not going to happen
Nico has lost most of AN at this point.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Apparently not.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
The horse isn't dead yet.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
LET'S BEAT IT SOME MORE!@!!!!
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
TWHS
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
thats what every guys says
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Not until this gets cleared up....period
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It's past the point of fixing things by leaving them alone
which is unfortunate
UrgentMirth - January 14, 2012
how's life, bloom?
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
it's okay. I s'pose.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Bloom, you don't have MLB Network, do you?
If you do DON’T TURN IT ON.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
That mustached FUCKHEAD is on, huh?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Well, at the moment Stew is on
But yes, that’s where it’s going.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
fuck.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
sup
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
hi ya cope.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
The Change-Up sucks
Why is it that about, oh, 70% of comedies that come out in theaters suck? Do people actually find this shit funny?
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
I thought it was okay. I mean, it's a body switch comedy. It's gonna be predictable by its premise.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
True
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
and I like both those actors.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
that was the only thing I liked about it really
it just was really mean spirited, which I didn’t expect
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
oh yeah...I forgot about that. It kinda was huh?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
yeah
weirdly so. it got better in the second half, but yeah
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Jason Bateman was on The Daily Show promoting it.
And the best thing he could say was something to the effect of “it’s the same story you’ve seen a thousand times, but it’s an adult comedy version…that’s different and new”. With a smirk. He absolutely knew it was utter shit.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
yeah, maybe they both owed favors to the same person.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I wonder if salacious photos were involved
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
that would explain a lot.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
$$$$
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Gotta pay the mortage
Bed. - January 13, 2012
That might be the last DVD we haven't rented.
It just looked so bad.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I saw the last part of it at the gym
It looked terribad.
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
I don't know why I added it to my Netflix queue
YonYonson - January 13, 2012
Because you're one badass mutha
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Okay I told iglew in his post how I felt....I feel better.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
and really AN is all about how I feel.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
If Robert Redford asked me to drive off a cliff,
I’d do it.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
well, that's good, because skinny bloom's neck is reminding me a lot of RR.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I totally read that wrong....
I thought you wrote “I’d do Robert Redford if he asked me to”
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
That's still applicable.
I’m talking OLD Robert Redford too.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I'd switch teams for Roy Hobbs
I hear he’s a natural in the sack.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It's all good until your bedroom gets struck by lightning
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
that depends...
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Hi loungers
I went to a movie. I watched two of them.
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
did you sneak into the second one?
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
"sneak" sounds so bad
“walked in casually like I didn’t care” is more like it
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Sneak level increased
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
Cheater!
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Anything good?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
two very different movies
Beauty & the Beast in 3D, followed by The Iron Lady
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
I want to see The Iron Lady
Beauty and the Beast sounds like my home life.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
The Iron Lady was very good
a little depressing at times….
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
I've always found Thatcher fascinating and Streep is such a great actor.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It's just pathetic we haven't had a woman as head of state here yet.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
how were they??
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
both very good
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Hello you all
I just dropped by to say that if anyone is so inclined, my utterly epic 4CD Spaghetti Western compendium is right here for the taking. Enjoy!
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
um....wha?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
you're funny
it’s like deja vu all over again ;)
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
hi.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
hello
can’t stay long, there’s a hot guy in my bed.
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
[looks]
is it me?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
no
it’s my friend I been dating for 6 weeks or so now. I like him a lot.
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
but...I'm in Arkansas
Bed. - January 13, 2012
...and you're heterosexual
dead heterosexy to be exact.
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
Well, yeah there's that
glad to hear you have something cooking though.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
yeah it's pretty badass
he is so good to me, it’s really stirring my soup, so to speak.
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
that's an interesting way to put it.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Ha!....well, soup is better when it's stirred.

gigglingone - January 13, 2012

ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012

Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
it went dead for a couple minutes it seemed
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I didn't notice anything
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
it's my fault
I show up and death and mayhem ensue. I can’t seem to help it.
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
Maybe everyone was trying to download your compendium
(new euphemism alert)
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
whoa!
That was not a euphemism… at least not yet.
emperor nobody - January 13, 2012
Sorry, Robert just took his uniform off.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012

gigglingone - January 13, 2012
I wish.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
And who rec's lounge threads?
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012

(but whoever did, let me know so I can send your check in the mail….)
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
I always thought it was ed.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I can look it up...
danmerqury - January 13, 2012

Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Yeah, I still have full privileges.
For now.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I do all the time
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Including this one.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I appreciate the folks who put them up....so I rec them
Bed. - January 13, 2012
♥
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Much appreciated.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
what would happen if it got 3 recs?
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I think we tried it once...wanna see?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
sure!
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
yes please yes please!
{jumps up and down all excitedly}
gigglingone - January 13, 2012

Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012

ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I expected more green
they should fix the programming so that the entire thread turns green once it gets three rec’s
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
I'm rec'ing this post to do just that.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
thank you bot
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
With gold sparkles
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
YES!!!!!!!
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Nothing.
Same thing that happens when a front page story gets 3 recs.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
aw, you ruined my fun.
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Rec #4!
Better?
danmerqury - January 13, 2012

gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Grandma always said Brian don't just burn the bridge nuke the fucker.
Bed. - January 13, 2012

ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Yep
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Was Grandma's name Truman?
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
No but my hero is named Truman.....his bust is looking at me right now.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Hawt.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
Moving on to the hard stuff....Dr. Pepper
Bed. - January 13, 2012
On my desk....Truman bust, Carney Lansford signed ball, double eagle golf ball, Raiders mug with pens, picture of Miss Hawaii and the kid.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I have a bust on my desk
maybe I should sit up straight
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Ha!......your desk sounds better than mine
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Hee.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
[sigh] okay, I'm reading the iglew post.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
You got an hour?
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I nodded off after the title.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
It did peak early
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Naw, I just had too many pain killers and alcohol.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
That might help you enjoy it.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
scary mix, babe.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
(psst. I don't drink)
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
oh. still? I thought you started this semester.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Okay, I do drink occasionally.
But usually when finals are over.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I only drink when I'm driving.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
good choice
there’s not enough room on the desk for the exam and the drink
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Beverage helmet.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
May God have mercy on your soul....heh it's not that bad but it is long and it's predictable.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
it's long
and I had to go back and reread a few paragraphs that had big words in them
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
He does love his big words
Bed. - January 13, 2012
And operatic references.
danmerqury - January 13, 2012
I wish the Saturday games were on Sunday....I'm busy tomorrow
but I like the games tomorrow better.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I have a few big projects I need to get done this weekend
that will be very difficult with football the next two days….
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
I have a fun day out with Miss Hawaii tomorrow....Grandpa is taking the kid
I’m looking forward to it but I do want to see those games.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Work FINALLY got the telly fixed.
Woot!
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
I hate to tell you this but I'm pretty sure Telly Savalas is dead
Bed. - January 13, 2012
My Grandmother is turning 98 this weekend....she is one tough old broad.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
ooooh, happy birthday grandma Bed!
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
Yeah.....she's amazing
she could probably whip me in a fight right now.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Amoire?
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Nah.....she's more like a bed made out of rock.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Mmmmm.....dinner......
gigglingone - January 13, 2012
We had fish tacos for dinner
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Parental units took me to dinner. Chinese food.
I could use a snack right now.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Ah yes the post 4 hour after Chinese food now I'm hungry thing.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
so the meta comments in iglew's post are quite good.
iglew’s post, not so much, but the comments are.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
It was typical mod version iglew
I do hope that’s the last meta post though….we have 2 of them cooking that’s plenty.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
although if we get a 3rd one I can't wait for the people who hate meta to post in it how much they hate meta.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
nice avatar, bed.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I stole if from Jennifer for the day
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I know.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
It fits my mood
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I might be past that with AN.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
If you do leave....please consider posting it okay
Bed. - January 13, 2012
oh, I don't think I'm leaving.
If I stop posting, check over at FreeKraut because he banned my ass.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
If he bans you....I'm gone....period.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'll be damned if I'm going to let him run me off.
I think part of the problem is other people just leave. They don’t stay and fight.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
thats what I keep telling them
its best to stay and stick your finger in their eye
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
nah. It's just...this is my home.
I made this place, not him.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
That's why I'm being a jerk rather than just leaving
I’ve put in a lot of time on this site the last 3 years so I’ll fight.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
people are genuinely angry.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Yep.....and something has to be done to clear the air
but I no longer have high hopes about it.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
oh no, he's not leaving. he's steering into the sun. such a huge ego for such a strange slight man.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
As I read more of his posts I realize that now
this is all about his ego and thinking we’re like his students.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
bourgeoisie
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Or sheep.
(make your own jokes)
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
nice.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Honestly I've posted worse stuff today that mikev ever did
but he can’t really afford to ban anyone else….or maybe he’ll……(editors note Bed. is now banned)
Bed. - January 13, 2012
baaaahhh
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Watch your ass.
YSWIDT?
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
why do you think that look is upon his face?
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
my cock?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
bah like a sheep, boy!
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
lol
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I better make sure my email address is up-to-date....

ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
hmmm....
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012

Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I think I went to the prom with her.

Ha!.....I just got an email asking how to find Free Kraut
for others you have to type in freekraut.com……if you leave out the .com you’ll get to old site.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Most the emails I get from AN folks are death threats.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I stink at wrapping gifts.....see if I have a gift bag left.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
thats why I love the dollar store
lots and lots of gift bags to choose from
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
and assorted lotions and creams to dip my balls in.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
and cans of baked beans and peaches.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
mmmm peaches
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches!
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
that always helps
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I'm not going to the dollar store after you've been there, then
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
they made him wait til after he left the store to do it though
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
well, sure, after that one PRUDE complained.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
its not like she tried to look away either
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
hell, she's just mad because they were her peaches...
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
...and you were at her house.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
well, to be honest
you did take them out of her basket
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Stay out of my orchard and let my peach tree be!
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
this is devolving into a double entendre 50's underground black people record.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
The definition of indecent –
when it’s in long, and it’s in hard, and it’s in deep – it’s in decent.
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I love you.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I know
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
What's the difference between a pickpocket and a peeping tom?
A pickpocket snatches watches.
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Sheeeeeeeeeeeetttt
Bed. - January 13, 2012
you spoil all my fun, EM.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I need something classy.....not seeing much
Bed. - January 13, 2012
How much does stuff cost at the dollar store?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
$5
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I spent a bit more on the gift.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I was at the 99 cent store once
where someone kept asking how much something was. and they were serious. it was bad
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
....was it me?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
no
I would have slapped you
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
oh. I wanna go to the .99 store.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Of course how do I wrap my penis extension?....I did it for her, I swear.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Well, this certainly does explain Little Bed's arrival into the world.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
That was back when my little Bed was still little
now it’s a ten pound battle salami.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
that made me laugh
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I have it....I'll make her breakfast and just put the gift on the tray.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I'll have to whip it out first though.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
So you are going to put your penis extension on the tray?
Just don’t serve her sausage or bacon…. because she might confuse the sausage and your extension, and NOTHING wins over bacon.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Good point....I guess I'll just give her ear rings instead.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I should have gotten a belly button ring for myself
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I think my dog hates the cold more than I do.....what a pussy.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
This is the conversation my mom, dad, and I had over dinner:
Mom: I got a raise today.
Me: Really? Any reason why?
Mom: They said I was versatile.
Me: So you can use your hands and your mouth?
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
you did NOT.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I DID.
My mother even laughed!
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Which is saying something,
because I once had to explain to her that my boss really didn’t have a son named Ben Dover.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
very clever.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
My boss is named I.P. Freely
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I was proud of that one.
Jennifer - January 13, 2012
Ha!
Bed. - January 13, 2012
hahahahaha
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
If money was the root of all evil I'd like to be a bad, bad man.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
meeeeeee too
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
When it comes to sex I've never had any complaints....of course it helps that I pay with cash.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
The only problem with trying to go to bed is I usually wake up the baby.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
don't kick the baby.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Now you tell me
Bed. - January 13, 2012
yeah
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Okay lets play name that tune....what song am I humming?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
It's from The Gondoliers, right?
Englishmajor - January 13, 2012
america. fuck yeah?
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Ode to Joy is the right answer we would have also accepted Fuck the Police by Ice-T
Bed. - January 13, 2012
um
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
Yes, Mr. Copenhagen
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Fuck the Police was Cube, Ren and Eazy-E
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
you may have a lot of bitches, but I got much more.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
What a shock the preppy white guy doesn't know his rap.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
(Ice did Cop Killer)
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
and now he plays a cop on TV
Bed. - January 13, 2012
it was so overblown at the time
all during the white fright times of rap
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
eeep!
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
I was busy listening to Genesis at the time....that's right I'm street....I'm hip
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Body Count which Ice-T fronted did Cop Killer
Copenhagen - January 13, 2012
Cope you're now my go to guy for rap
I guess I’ll tell Grandma tomorrow she’s out.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
I like this one better
Slayer Feat.Ice T – Disorder
Its where he got the idea of making Body Count
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
Slayer and Ice-T... why....how can I not hit that link?
Bed. - January 13, 2012
Chickie your new avatar pic is funny too.

thanks hehe
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
is that Tila?
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Ah that's it.....I kept wanting to call her Pina Colada
Bed. - January 13, 2012
close.
Leopold Bloom - January 13, 2012
Close only counts in horse shoes and hand jobs.
Bed. - January 13, 2012
haha I have no idea
I just liked the fact that they ape is doing a double bird
ChickenStanley - January 13, 2012
I hate this....I should go to sleep but I'm not tired now for some reason....probably the crack.
Bed. - January 14, 2012
crack's good! and good for you! fuck what all them doctors say! doctors don't know shit!
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
As Ice-T or Ice-Cube or Ice-Tray would say...Fuck the Doctors!

hmmm. he's the evil one. Identified Evil One.
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
Okay....I only go on AN so I don't care about other SBN blogs
Not sure why he’s posting on AN?
Bed. - January 14, 2012
I'm not, either.
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
Backing up his colleague?
I have no idea, though, because surely anyone with an ounce or more of gray matter knows that to have the Rev endorse anything here is the kiss of death.
Englishmajor - January 14, 2012
So far he seems like weirdo.
Bed. - January 14, 2012
he's...something.
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
This ride keeps getting stranger.
Bed. - January 14, 2012
STRANGER DANGER
Copenhagen - January 14, 2012
I LOVE THIS
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
ha!
ChickenStanley - January 14, 2012
hahaha
love that
ChickenStanley - January 14, 2012
seriously.
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
I mean, even if you agreed with the principle that the blogparent needs to hold all power
it can’t help to have it endorsed by someone whose site is a) rude, nasty, and mean-spirited, and b) boring as all get-out.
Englishmajor - January 14, 2012
doesn't make much sense...
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
Yes
If I were Toonces, and the Rev showed up in support of me, I’d quit immediately. And possibly kill myself.
doctorK - January 14, 2012
BOOBIES!
ChickenStanley - January 14, 2012
seriously, huh?
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
There's no worse way to kill your message than to have the Rev endorse it.
Kyli - January 14, 2012
Why would you even go there?
I’ve been to LL maybe 5 times and 4 were the Nyjer Morgan meme related and never to HH or w/e the Rangers blog is called
Copenhagen - January 14, 2012
I've gone to both to laugh at them.
I actually comment sometimes at LL. That’s a clever fucking blog.
Leopold Bloom - January 14, 2012
I've heard it's a fun site but I just don't give a wit about the Mariners
Bed. - January 14, 2012

Other things I don't care a wit about
paying my taxes, the NBA, bathing and the 2012 Oakland A’s

I’ve seen true evil on the Raiders blog.

Once Rich Langford took over moderating that place, it has improved somewhat. And my comment is mainly directed towards the downfall of this place.
