I have to give Mariotti credit ....

Featured Replies

.... for this line in today's column.

 

A young gun with a 95 mph fastball and a wicked changeup, Santana is showing no signs of changing his evil ways, baby.

 

It actually shows some signs of a functioning brain and a hint of wit.

Everyone knows that, and besides, Mariotti is an expert in areas that give the Sox problems, both real and fiction. :lol:

Add to that the way he continues to delude himself and his readers into thinking the Flubbs have a chance in hell of winning when you have St. Louis running away with the division and having owned them all season.

I was just about to say, you know a guy is a real idiot when you have to give him props for basically saying Johan Santana is good.

I will grant that one actually, it is pretty clever :lol:

 

now I will be humming it all day thanks to you!

Carlos... Santana...

 

Evil... Ways...

 

lala lala lala ...

 

ok, I'm bored and don't want to work. But I better. I have a mountain project due.

I was just about to say, you know a guy is a real idiot when you have to give him props for basically saying Johan Santana is good.

the props were for the music culture ref, not recognizing Santana's talent. I gotta admit that was a lollypop ref though that even my decidedly non-musical wife also basically made while watching the game.

 

Also, I still think Jay looks like Fatty Arbuckle. :P

Santana's going to get a HUGE raise this offseason, the Twinkies are going to have major payroll problems, hence why they are trading Doug Mientkiewicz.

Carlos... Santana...

You're going to fail! :-p

 

What sort of thread programming are you working on? Anything fun?

Actually, that stuff (programming) is my "side job" - I have my own business for which I do those types of things (web hosting,web page development, databases, etc). My "day job" is a financial analyst (controller, basically).

 

...

 

But isn't it amazing that I am working on a data conversion for a system, and I'm a financial (business) analyst?

 

How do I get roped into all this IT crap?

 

:huh

 

Just lucky I guess. :lol:

Beats the alternative, ya know?

 

IT stuff is all a game. It's not really hard, you just have to know what to do, or else figure out what you have to do.

 

Still, despite having to do a bit of everything, I'd think owning your own business is well worth it.

I'm trying to make a go of it. This year is actually looking pretty good... :headbang

 

Maybe one day I can get out of this 8 to 8 s*** and do it all for myself and not some other company. That's the plan anyway.

Wow, I never thought of that. But please, out of respect to the man himself and his best buddy (check my avatar), it is "Roscoe". ;)

Ain't that the truth. I can't stand the guy like most other people. I basically don't watch Around the Horn anymore because of that idiot.

Good luck, man! I hope it works out for ya

By 'the man himself,' you mean a mutant two-headed Buster Keaton? :D

 

And though Fatty, er, Roscoe, knew how to play 'hide the champaigne bottle' as well as anyone, thatmay not be the best reason to respect him. :o

O/T for just a second more...

 

"Man Himself" is Roscoe. Best bud would be the God known as Buster. Arbuckle was innocent man, 100% innocent.

 

Now Mariotti is not so innocent of being an idiot. Amazing how much I have grown to dislike him. I won't even listen to his commercials. :puke

So do you put any stock in the theory that the murdered lesser-known comic actor on the "Rape By Implementation" cruise (not to slam an innocent man, mind you) was supposed to be Chaplan but they botched the job? was it supposed to be paybeck for he and Doug Fairbanks and Mary Pickford screwing the cheapo studios with the formation of UA?

Woah, not sure what you have been reading. The only murder Arbuckle was ever accused of was the death of Virginia Rappé at a party. Chaplin was nowhere to be found.

Chaplin and all of them were quite good friends. There were rumours of not getting along between Chaplin and Keaton, but those only came about from the set of The Limelight which was Chaplins last great film, and was released in 1952 as both men had reached the ends of their careers.

 

Sorry to step off the B-Ball topic, but this has GOT to be better than talking about that idiot columnist.

OK, let's carry the Arbuckle Story over to SL&P. I'd do it myself, but the Powers Dat B. don't trust me enough to run amok over here with God-like Mod powers... :D

 

Anyway, Kid, meet me over at the "Roscoe Files" for the big news...

Actually Mariotti is smooth, and he's a hot one, like seven inches from a midday sun.

 

And after todays game I find myself singing

 

I had a dream

But it turned to dust

What I thought was love

That must have been lust

I was living in style

When the walls fell in
