Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I could do with some wakey-uppey stuff. Or tea. Let me try that.
I got a ticket today. My registration's not on my car. I know I registered the car--but I don't remember putting the sticker on (which means very little--I don't ever). Can one get replacements?
I'm working a short day and then going to DMV to get my Colorado license. Wish me luck and competent clerks.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday vw!
Am waiting for G to get home, then we are off to Pittsburgh for Confluence.
Last night we saw "Not the Messiah!(He's a very naughty boy)" at Wolftrap. Fun!
A guy probably would've gotten beaten senseless by his teammates for allowing something like that.
Possibly. I'm thinking about Favre's record touchdown last season, though, and while the defense did clearly go for the receiver, there wasn't quite the... oooomph behind it that there normally would be.
I was originally thinking of that awesome women's softball team that carried the opposing injured player around the bases, though.
I do think there have been cases where stars on the verge of setting world records have had the opposition kind of fold, especially when said opposition was already behind and had no chance of catching up. I'd vague this up a bit more, but I'm afraid that is as specific as my memory gets right now.
Well, my bathtub drain has moved from "slow" to "blocked" as in it's been about 36 hours since it was last waterfree. Landlord's handyman not coming round 'til Monday. It's going to be 87 degrees tomorrow.
This is NO FUN.

Cool! Eric Idle and all? I was in two performances of that last week.
Weekend plans include pie tonight, brunch with folks and Cousin John from Texas, band practice for our show in VEGAS next week. Sat. night Dirtbombs! Sunday getting nails did. Hope some kind of exercise and cooking of healthy food and relaxing.

Oh, the college team. I remember reading about that. In looking through the Way Back machine I came across this interesting stat with respect to Walter Johnson:
His earned run average of 1.14 in 1913 was the fourth lowest ever at the time he recorded it; it remains the sixth-lowest today. It could have been lower if not for one of manager Clark Griffith's traditions. For the last game of the season, Griffith often treated the fans to a farce game. Johnson actually played center field that game until he was brought in to pitch. He allowed two hits before he was taken out of the game. The next pitcher - who was actually a career catcher - allowed both runners to score. The official scorekeeper ignored the game, but later, Johnson was charged with those two runs, raising his ERA from 1.09 to 1.14.
