Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

It's because everyone at work is watching the olympics.

HAH.

Actually, it's probably somewhat the rest of the world looking at us.

We're supposed to get a hyuge HD lcd installed for presentations in our special room (it has been in receiving for weeks. And we delivered it ourselves!) We're calling it our "operations display." NOT our TV.

I told my boss today I was deeply disappointed that they didn't install it in time for the Opening Ceremonies. Because that would have rocked. But of course, we won't use it for stuff like that. Nuh-uh. (But I am SO getting the most insane screensavers and desktops loaded on our PC to make sure we use it to its capacity.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

To quote Bull Durham, "I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter." Pitchers are good at throwing the ball. Hitting, not so much. Since the '70s, the American League allows an extra player to hit in place of the pitcher. In the National League, pitchers hit. It takes more strategy, and it is the way God intended baseball to be played.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

it is the way God intended baseball to be played.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The sport they play in the American League isn't really baseball.

Because books.

In the National League, pitchers hit. It takes more strategy, and it is the way God intended baseball to be played.

Amen.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, I am loving all of the DH commentary. Amen.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I want to hold David Finchum's little face in my hands. He's so sweet I almost can't feel pervy about him.

Almost.

I have a reputation to uphold. When I started being a part of these meetings, I made sure to insert thematic-slides of the goofy variety (exploding bulb when one did, a bottle of pouring molasses when things were sluggish, a imax theater when we were looking for a new display...)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Case against the Designated Hitter. Robin Ventura charged the mound after Nolan Ryan hit him with a pitch in 1993.

Knowing you don't have to face the opposing team's pitcher yourself probably makes you care less about hitting a batter.

Still pretty dumb of Ventura to end up in a headlock, though. Perhaps he shouldn't have dropped his bat.
