Sorry to be so redundant on sources
I usually try and link back to the original source, but a lot were Twitter feeds, and I’m not sure if someone’s not on Twitter how that would work.

Most disappointing album?
I’d go with “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.”

Saw that tour
Cap Center. Didn’t get tickets until a week or so before. Ended up with 5th row on the floor. Place was maybe 1/3 full.

God, they sucked.

when did i see them with Killer Dwarfs???? LOL so bad. Maybe there were two opening acts. Yes. I’m remembering there were.

Nope, you're right, Killer Dwarfs.
I must have had DT inflicted on me at a different show.
"It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer, complete, total incompetence." - Joe Rogan
i always marvel at how they did Killers, which was fantastic, then switched singers and did what perhaps is their magnum opus, Number of the Best, with a new guy, who of course is now the old guy — i doubt many bands ever done such a thing

AC/DC did it better
Highway to Hell was by far their most polished effort in songwriting and production, and Bon dies in Feb. 1980, and they’re in the studio with the new guy by May 1980, and put out the best CD of their careers.
Faith No More’s We Care A Lot was fun, but when Mike Patton came on for The Real Thing, that band took off.
Sammy Hagar doesn’t count. Ever.

And I'd even argue Anthrax got better under John Bush.
"It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer, complete, total incompetence." - Joe Rogan
very true about ac/dc
as for faith no more, well, they sort of completely reinvented themselves … going from kind of semi ironic skate punks to emo-heavy pioneers

Infighting broke them up
By “Angel Dust”, they weren’t speaking to each other. After Jim Martin left, it went downhill fast, although I still like Last Cup of Sorrow.

Fuck it. I'm just gonna start drinking now.
But masking tape will have to pinch hit ‘till I get to Ma & Pa Kettle’s, where I can swap it out for the scotch.

Someone has to play the part of 'drunk uncle' in the family.
I’m up for the challenge.

There's always the 'rec' button under 'actions'
I feel like that’s more of a commitment than ‘liking’ something though.
Off to Christmas shop
Peace out, y’all

brad hawpe?
he was awesome year before last! yeah, he stunk it up last year and got himself cut, but how could anyone go wrong with a former really good Colorado Rockie who suddenly had a really bad year manning first on a rebound attempt? nothing but upside!
I've always been a Hawpe fan
Great home/away splits for someone playing his whole career in Coors. Great OPS as mentioned. I don’t think he’s a free agent though.

Yeah you're right
Ctrl-F wasn’t finding him on Yahoo’s handy dandy free agent tracker because all of the names on the list are links. My bad

Oh I get it trust me
I just like Hawpe, not to start obviously. Him and Caesar could become bff’s on the bench.

by Astronaut Mike Dexter on Dec 24, 2010 2:25 PM EST up reply actions
well, maybe not on our bench
the problem is, he’s a terrible defensive outfielder and has little experience at 1st base. basically he’s Adam Dunn in the field and Adam LaRoche at the plate (that’s assuming he rebounds to his career numbers), which isn’t a great combination.
Saw The King's Speech last night.
Zk is right, absolutely phenomenal. I’m still moved right now.
Where are my shoelaces?
So, the story of
some rich dude born into wealth and power who had a speech impediment and hired someone to help him moved you that much? Takes a little more than that to move the needle for me. But then again, I’m a heartless bastard.
"It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer, complete, total incompetence." - Joe Rogan
It wasn't the story that moved me per se.
It was the brilliant acting by Firth and Rush. They sold it for me.
Where are my shoelaces?
Given the two actors involved, I can understand that

But I want to see this.

My dad is the same way.
He told me he wasn’t really looking forward to seeing it because he wasn’t a fan of period dramas but after he watched it, he thought it was fantastic.

super shuttle fucked me over this morning,
That is all, carry on.

Pretty sure that's the default mode.

Any other Members of the Tribe looking forward to the traditional Chinese food dinner tomorrow?

The Chinese place in FRUITLAND is open 1-7 tomorrow
Gotta admit, given where I live, it did surprise me a bit.
"It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer, complete, total incompetence." - Joe Rogan
Just gotta put your order in around 6:30.
Then it will be ready for dinner at 7.

Ours is take out only
Although there’s a few more that are sit-down restaurants in Salisbury.

Ah well, didn't know that.
My family tradition is to go out and eat at a Chinese place on Christmas.
Where are my shoelaces?
I was just surprised ours was staying open
My county isn’t exactly known for its large Jewish population.
"It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer, complete, total incompetence." - Joe Rogan
Yeah, well, the security guard at school said she doesn't usually have a big Christmas meal at her house.
They usually just get takeout Chinese food, so maybe that’s why it’s open?
Where are my shoelaces?
You're not the only one.
I know someone who works Chinese, and she’s had to do it for like 3 out of 5 years or something and she said it was always so busy and the customers were like “haha it’s our christmas tradition”

Yep, that's the thing.
I was actually contemplating shaking it up a bit and suggesting sushi on Christmas, but in the end, I decided not to break the tradition.

Indians fans eat chinese on xmas?

I love moving walkways because I feel so much more athletic than I am on them.
Except when I get off an my lega then feel like lead.

Probably too late for this but...
Better Christmas movie: Gremlins or Die Hard 2?

most everyone is probably asleep...
but this is a curious read: http://fanspeak.com/steveospeak/2010/12/24/why-billy-butler-makes-perfect-sense-to-the-orioles/
I know no one in this proposed deal is elite, but still, five players for Billy Butler? Really?
Well, if those five are
Alfredo Simon, Pedro Beato, Billy Rowell, and two other Frederick Keys we don’t mind losing, I’m all for it.
