Thanks for pointing this out. this line: "Walker suggests that Beckham gets his long-ball potential because he has "horizontal power"—that is, the ability to use his body's joints and ligaments to transfer energy in a line projecting in front of him." Sports writers too often rely on some really stupid stuff coaches say instead of creating their own words. This doesn't really explain s***, it just sounds like someone trying to be smart.

well, why wouldn't we criticize him after 4 weeks in office. He has run by far the most reckless presidency in our history.

TV news has been awful for years, you don't learn anything. But I think it says more that when stations get desperate they move into a violence heavy format, and it always works. As much as people say they don't like how violent and depressing the news is, the numbers don't really support that opinion.

"Went to a horse style cirk us dolay show called cavalia, very impressive" this is all that made me laugh.

Great news. http://www.tinymixtapes.com/Jeff-Mangum-Performs-Three-Songs I've given up hope of any sort of tangible tour, I thought the best chance of a show was him doing pitchfork last year. He has been playing at clubs fairly consistently, by my standards for him, for the past couple of years.

bahaha, yeah, they really wanted this depression, it's really been serving them well. It's allowed them to fire half their staffs and teeter on the verge of bankruptcy. They are doin soooooo well.

bahaha... I agree with duke. I think nirvana was a band you kind of had to be in the moment with. I can't really related to that generation in the early nineties much.

Talk about unintended consequences.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:44 PM) Its spring training. When was the last time the Sox had a spring training above .500? I can't recall. oh god I was joking hahahaha, the fact that that was taken seriously is a testament to this wonderful board lol

this was very therapeutic by the way

Haha, balta is turning into our very own Kap.

damn I would still do the trade but 44 home runs! holy s***.

True.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Alexander Graham Bell was lucky enough to be the first one to get to the patent office, lol. my friend told me this story of someone in their town, who invented the new glue for braces, but didn't know how to sell it. So they sold the patent to their neighbor, who made millions.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) One of America's greatest known inventors, Thomas Edison, was the perfect example of this. We owe way more of our existance to Nikola Tesla, and yet basically no one knows who he is. I feel like Tesla is just one of those people where everyone acts like nobody else knows who he is because they like the framing of an unknown talking point.

Further, if the democrats do move on this and actually do have some evidence of this by 2010, the legs of the republicans are cut out from them. The congressional and senate dems would be wise to follow suit.

none of that really applies to me, but I too used to have a job I hated. I realize it was my fault for going .06 under, though I think the gas station should be more clear that they put an extra charge for not using cash. But, it makes me more angry that TCF won't give me overdraft insurance, so that they can put it on a credit card, like most of my friends have, and then I'll just pay the interest on that .06, and not have to pay them an absurd amount for such a small f***up.

will we ever win a game?

It's wonderful that the stock market has so much confidence in Bernanke, he certainly has done a wonderful job the last 8 months.

Oh, another gem, when I went to Europe, I beforehand went to TCF and told them I wanted to inform them I'd be going abroad, so if they saw some suspicious charges in Europe not to worry. The guy stared at me. "Okay." I was informed I should let my bank know before a trip. "Oh, we don't really track your charges so it's no big deal" Makes me wonder what set the alarms off to compromise my account?
