Zzzzs will be hard to come by for youngsters tomorrow night.

None of my top 5 made the final list. Four of my top five are literary and the only movie villain, Aquirre, isn't in a major release film. But, if you have not seen Aguirre: The Wrath of God, rent it. I also thought Professor Moriarity and Grendel had a chance to be on a couple lists.

SS, I wish you had done a list, I had Cowley at #17, I figured you would have had him somewhere as well. Wait, could he be #1 and no Joker? LOL

Here's my yes but. Would the voters in Indiana have elected him if they knew what he was doing? Seems to me they would have. I hope the court's decision is as close to the voter's intent as possible in this case. And the whole shifting of power based on one guy's guilt seems too harsh of a penalty.

No Grendel?

Interesting.

Milkman, in a different thread, I mused that a couple ex Oz players have followed him to Miami. It was quickly pointed out that those players just took the highest contract offered. May have been the same with Danks. For an extra million or two I would even work for you

If Danks extended with the Sox for Coop, did Mark go to Miami for Ozzie?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) You're such a dick. Yeah, I agree with you. He better bounce way the hell back, that's all I know. See the conforming is happening already

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 08:15 PM) Not to be a dick. But I need a bit more conformation from somebody other than a Soxtalk poster that claims he has a source and that's all to take any of this seriously. If his son was so sick, why wouldn't he have taken a personal leave to be with him? Better to be so mentally f***ed that you forget how to play baseball? Again, need something more legit before I believe any of this. Conformation is boring. Just because we all look and act alike, what would that prove? Now confirmation would be a step forward, for those that are interested.

You know, batting .275 would have made everyone happier, even his son. What would have been better than seeing dad on base? I'm pulling for him to be Comeback Player of the Year. He is so set up for it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) But i am excited for junk mail to die. I can't keep up with it. Bulk mail feeds the pig. Those four or five pieces of mail pay the bills to deliver the one piece you want. Help the post office, sign up for lots and lots of junk mail

For less than half a buck they will deliver a letter from Gran Jeno, Texas (pop 372) to Pakala Village, Hawaii (pop 514). They will do it correctly about a million times before making an error. As Americans we should be damn proud of our postal system, it is the envy of most of the world.

Hooch seems to drunk to continue the thread lol What is your favorite gadget?

I tossed a priority mail envelope in the package slot at my local post office. Problem is I forgot to address the envelope. No return address, no ''to'' address, nothing. And nothing on the inside either. I called the next day and an employee waded through all priority mail envelopes until he found it. He correctly addressed the envelope for me and sent it on it's way. I have way more positive stories of the USPS than negative.

I’m getting smaller and smaller and smaller And I have nothing to say It’s all been taken away I just behave and obey What is your favorite memory of 2011?

Easy off season game that may kill the alphabetical thread . . . The rules are easy, answer a question with lyrics from a song, then ask a question. What are your New Years plans?

I am glad to see my money is being spent. And by my money, I mean the $5 i sent to see how much stuff I get from each campaign.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) If the writers aren't going to vote roiders into the hall then how the hell can they not strip Braun of the mvp? The timing would be the easiest reason why. I do not believe he would have won the award if he was caught during the season.

Universally people enjoy cake and candy at a Christmas party. And yes, here I can call it a Christmas party.
