i hate it but i'm uncontrollably drawn to it
We'll miss you, midnight blue miata. RIP
Posted by Phil on February 1st, in the morning | 1556 comments
meh, i've had worse reasons to create a new post.
I got the call too last night. I think he called me right after he hung up the phone from Douglas. The way B-mac was talking I thought he was engaged or knocked Intern up. Then he follows up with the miata is dead. I was heartbroken. I asked how he was going to replace it and he said with something more practical. I had to take the cheap shot and ask, "what something that can hold a car seat?" We'll miss you Midnight Blue Miata, Natty Sci just got a little less gay.
it was funny when bmac called, i answered and small talked for a second, and then he said, 'well you got a minute?' i was thinking it was going to be the big engagement announcement, and then he tells me the miata's dead. i just started laughing my ass, although i don't think he found it as funny. he wanted to keep it another year. of course anything that makes natty sci less gay can't be a bad thing
So is anyone off on Tuesday and want to live at J. Gumbos, and then go back?http://backseatsandbar.wordpress.co...ay-celebration/
I know last year the whole Mardi Gras weekend had specials, so I plan on feasting there at some point.
Sounds like a plan to me. When you decide to go hit me up.
Joe or anyone else, think there's any chance of riding this weekend? I know it's a little wet right now, but will the temps today (low 30's with wind chill in te 20's) and tomorrow (40's) be enough to freeze the ground.
I doubt it. We could always give it a shot.
Can we open a pool on what type of car or color b-mac buys next?I was talking with a coworker at lunch about how I was worried about B-Mac calling thinking he did something stupid when actually it was just his miata dying. All I told her was it was a Miata and she follows up with "my gay brother in law drives a purple fusion." It was priceless.
Pinkly Tarus?
he can have my old taurus... it only needs a transmission...
Sarah Silverman is fucking Matt Damonhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KUo...p://reddit.com/
so my taxes are done, needless to say i love kaelyn just a little bit more today
Daddy needs a nentindo Wii
yes he does indeed
You will be missed, Miata. I just finished my first day of police work. It ended with my supervisor yelling at the secretary for being late. Aawwwkwaaarrrd!
This is bringing back memories of the demise of the Bulletproof Blazer.http://photos1.blogger.com/img/184/...zer%7Efull2.jpg

Phil, how many books am I supposed to borrow from you?
Is anybody alive today?
No, mon
Last I heard from Phil, he texted me about my work on the racist Sales Genie commercials.
jerome, you know Neil O'Donnell never would have done an American Idol commercial, Kordell Stewart...probably.
yeah, to quote Phil:"Big Ben loves the cock"Unfortunately, I have no retort.
I was reading the state police protocol on internet usage, and it pretty much says "don't go to natty sci"
ummm, you're breaking the law
Note the reduced price on the book.http://www.amazon.com/19-0-Historic...1167&sr=8-7
So did you all have a pretty rowdy Super Bowl party?
compared to a lame doctor one, yes. The recycling bin looks pretty cool right now. Good story, after everyone left I took all the bottles out to recycling and Greg was walking around the driveway. Michael was pulling the car into the garage and greg kept referring to him as his DD. He is 16 with a permit. They were at Captains Quarters last night and Greg was saying the pussy was fine there. Michael said they were all like 40. So greg follows up with something along the lines of if a chick wants to suck your cock you let her. All those 40 year olds had their eyes on you. You hit the jackpot. Kind of disturbing kind of funny.Also Greg is buying michael a truck but michael wants "something to haul around ladies." So I convinced Michael a truck is a mattress on wheels with bench seats. Greg high fives me and michael scratches his head and says I've never thought of it that way.My neighbors are awesome.
i thoroughly enjoyed the puppy bowl on animal planet. quite possibly the cutest thing ever.
yeah, glad you enjoyed the puppy bowl. too bad you weren't at joe's to enjoy copious amounts of cleveland steamer references
And R. Kelly and Voodoo Tatum. Of course I think only 3 of us had any clue who Voodoo Tatum is. Friday Night Lights really is an entertaining TV show.
I did some research on the salesgenie ad. Apparently last year they felt the press they got for being the worst super bowl ad brought them 55,000 new customers. So they set out to be the worst again this year. The ads were created and written by their CEO. I think the verdict is still out on whether or not they were meant to be racist to drum up controversy too...
If they get another 55,000 new customers, who gives a shit right?
AJ is now teething, so I spent the evening watching the super bowl and being careful not to lose a finger.
Is anybody eating J. Gumbo's for dinner tonight?
or tomorrow since it is Mardi Gras
here's what wwtdd.com said about the salesgenie ad:USA Today has their annual list of the highest rated Super Bowl ads, and shockingly, Sales Genie isn't at the very bottom. Somehow the Iron Man (very cool final 5 seconds) ad and the Doritos girl (good voice) were considered worse. I don't know how. Here's how I assume the marketing department at sales genie works. STEP 1. Take 3 million dollars. STEP 2. Pile it up. STEP 3. Throw it in the trash. Once again they had ads they were just woefully inept and awful, but this year they added scathing racism. I can't even put my finger on why this one is so racist, but I just know that it is. I assume it's the accent. Because here's the thing, pandas don't talk, so when you give one a chopsticky accent, it just looks like you're making fun of Asians. It would be like you drew a bundle of dynamite with an Arab accent or a had a gay guy masturbating at a basketball game. I'm not sure what those last two would be products for, (maybe bullets and serious dicking) but I don't know what the fuck panda bears have to do with sales leads either, so suck on that.
j gumbo's made me super-ill last time i ate there, but i could be convinced to give them a second chance.
i just got my adage magazine, and they gave planters nuts (unibrow girl) and the ronald mcdonald house commercials the worst rating.salesgenie got three stars, and they said 'like last years, these ads are simultaneously horrible and good, because the glengarry glen ross crowd doesnt care whether the cartoons-written by founder vin gupta- are funny (they arent), or verging on racist (the 'comical' indian and chinese accents).
I might hav eto take tomorrow off, 65 degrees...seriously.
Isn't it supposed to rain?
thunderstorms all day tomorrow :(
I was actually at my apartment when I posted that last thing. I'm sorry guys, but natty sci is not worth losing my job for. Unless I'm out with you guys, get shit faced, and then get a PI. Then it would TOTALLY be worth it.
fuck, damn rain. I remember that now.
And Bobby Knight steps down.
Tomorrow I will finally gorge myself on some Gumbo. I am on call tonight, so I should be free after work tomorrow to make it a truly Fat Tuesday.What's going on this weekend though? The Cards had another good showing tonight before their big appearance on College Gameday vs the Hoyas. Anyone know what to make of this team yet? I mean two big (point diff) wins vs Marquette, but shit losses to Seton Hall and UConn, what the fuck? Early season losses I can chalk up to injuries, but some of this inconsistent bull shit is pissing me off.
UL will only play as good as Preston Knowles and Edgar Sosa. If Knowles plays good Will Scott will never touch the floor. If Sosa plays good we have a point guard.
Its rainin' sideways
Woohoo we got free bagels!!!!
i wish i had a free bagel.
It is our annual team morale builder, you doing good, here is a pat on the back, eat your bagel and get back to fucking work.
I wake up every morning in a bed that’s too small, drive my daughter to a school that’s too expensive and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little. But on Pretzel Day? Well, I like Pretzel Day.
UofL needs to exploit their depth in the post and continue to play hard nosed defense. If they do that they will make a decent run in the tourney because they are a very athletic team. They are not a very good shooting team (but they are streaky) so when they shoot 25+ 3 pointers in a game they will probably lose.
Stanley from The Office?
Chris - when are you going to J Gumbo's and which one are you going to?
Top 10 Bobby Knight sound bites streamed from youtubehttp://blog.kentuckysportsradio.com...p=4866#comments
I've got a basketball game at 7:15, I'll go after that.
They are open till 9, which one do you guys want to go to?
I won't be home from basketball till 8:30 so count me out then.
looks like god is making another run at you tonight, joe.
Joe - all you can eat. You can see how much J. Gumbos you can kill in 15 minutes.
I aint skeered
It depends on what time I get out of here. I hope to get done at a decent hour and make it to the gym and get to Gumbo's around 7. Are they still closing at 9 being MArdi Gras and all? And of course we will be going to the Clifton original.
Phil - when that moment happens on the ice...do exactly the opposite of these guys and don't be a pussy.http://www.burlysports.com/video/20452
Chris - shoudl I just come over to your house at a certain time?
And they are open till 10 tonight.

I hate being sci-deprived from work. Happy Mardi Gras, y'all!
bottoms up y'all!hey when's the stagger???
i think "jump around" is one of the most overplayed songs in college basketball before tip off. However, Danny Green from UNC dancing to it is pretty funny. He has done this for a couple years now and they lost the music before the VT game and it was the only home game they lost.http://youtube.com/watch?v=Opn-lJQf...feature=related
What the fuck?http://www.coedmagazine.com/news/5501#more-5501
Dude, what is wrong with the people who made those ads? They need their head checked. And why are they using 9 year old girls, when they are talking about statutory rape (which is more like 15-17). There is actually a big difference. (not that it isn't wrong in either place, but Jesus!)
this is a brilliant concept:http://hecklersprospectus.blogspot.com/

IT'S RAINING SIDEWAYS
the wind is blowing so hard that water is flowing up hill in my parking lot.
Kevin Harned has that shit eating grin on his face like he's thinking, "Yeah, I fucked Carrie Weil -- A LOT."
according to my sister, who used to work there, everybody at wave 3 has done everybody else except for scott reynolds, who's the only decent guy there. carrie is a hoebag by the way, my sister and her don't get along, but apparently carrie has done a lot of inter office fucking. my favorite thing about the weathermen when shitty weather comes around, and john belski is guaranteed to do this during any tornado/snowstorm/thunderstorm, etc., is that they practically get a hard on b/c they're on screen for hours at a time. they're running back and forth in front of their weather maps, wiping the sweat off their forehead, and doing all they can to hide the stain they just got in their pants from nutting on camera
gross.
So all you can eat gumbo is such a great idea, yet so bad at the same time. It's so good once it hits your lips, but after the forth bowl you kinda want to puke. Then they try to fill you up on free beer. How dare them. I'm so happy the Voodoo brewery is open again. The Blackend Voodoo is great, and did I mention it was free.
after all the shit i've posted on here, and that's what gets labeled gross? seriously?
The beer was free as well?Sorry for having to bail late Chris, I didn't get home till 7ish and by the time I walked Daisy and would have had AJ packed up that would have been 8ish, and AJ gets a bath at 9 and then eats right afterward and then put to bed. So you figure I get there to J Gumbos at 8:15ish, I am leaving at 8:45 ish.
Oh yeah, today is national football signing day. Good news, Aaron Boyd (Shane's little brother and is a 4-star #26 ranked WR) chose UK over Oregon today.
sweet
hey, i label lots of stuff gross on here. it was just so picture-esque the way you crafted the imagery, i could almost see it when i closed my eyes...
if i could photoshop worth a damn, i'd get a screen shot of harned doing the weather and draw some splooge on his pants
Or draw a twister with splooge
Douglas-nice imagery. For the record, I hate reading journal articles.
it's raining sideways some more!
what the fuck happened to this place?
bad news: bama got the top class. Good way to spin it to make myself feel better: there was an assload of talent in Alabama this year. Saban didn't get #1 ranking through nationwide recruitment, most of it was homegrown. Additionally he only got 1 Louisiana player, granted the player is a 4 star db that we could really use, but losing 1 isn't too bad. LSU 11th...not bad but disappointing for the defending national champs. Spin #2 there were no 5 star recruits in LA this year (except Benton but he committed last year) and the db that went to bama is the only real loss. http://www.rivals.com/
but bama didn't get boyd, so they can suck on it
I don't know if the writer from the New York Time knew that Rich Chandler from Deadspin was just fucking around with her, but she interviewed him about the Puppy Bowl anywayshttp://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/02/a...amp;oref=slogin
you're right douglas they did not get aaron boyd, I don't know how they'll ever move on...but i think getting julio jones will probably help.
You know what happened Douglas, I haven't posted all day.
This is highly entertaining, it reminds me of Wes on Halloween:http://hotchickswithdouchebags.com/
Jay, I second the hating of reading journal articles. Wait, I pretty much hate everything right now.At least one positive: Michelle's condo is finished and she'll close in about 2 weeks, which means that there will be a guest room for drunkards, or a place where I can stash the bodies when I shoot this fuckin' place up!
Okay, it's official-The next stagger is Friday, February 29th. Mark it on your calenders.
I think the Duke - UNC game so far is stick 10 of the best athletes on the court and let them run. I don't think I've actually seen them play basketball yet.
Phil, would you still be a Bills fan?http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...n.ap/index.html
what would be more appropriate than me rooting for a team that abandoned me?
I like sick days a lot more then I actually like working
i think friday will be the last day of me being on call for work.
Adrian - does that mean you are quitting?For the record, I dressed up as a douchebag intentionally.
fag
no, that means that should be the last day of my rotation.
Anybody want to do Natty Sci lunch anytime soon?
how about monday or tuesday?
i'll do a lunch
I just had the worst Gumbo ever. I ordered the Shrimp Creole and all it was was chunks of tomato and rice mixed with water. It was foul. I did run into Mike Bush and Suzanne. Mike asked if I remembered Suzanne which I answered with not from New Years.
Did you take a sick day yesterday? I tried to call to see if you needed a ride home, but you never answered. Anyway, that's why you only go eat Gumbo at the original on Frankfort.
I took a sick day yesterday. I took a nice elbow to my nose Tuesday night in our basketball game and I had a nice headache from that. The ref stopped the game after the first play of the game because he said he heard my nose crunch. There was no blood so I played the rest of the game, subs are overrated. The booze to take away the pain after the game didn't help any either. Turned into a nice mental and physical health day yesterday. Sleep in, watch some TV, take a nap, do some stuff around the house, take another nap, catch up on DVR while taking a nap. It was beautiful. My nose still hurts and is bruised. I need to quit doing stuff before I really hurt myself bad one of these days.
i'll let you guys come up with a joke:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329408,00.html
Just get it approved.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329132,00.html
Douglas when I was an undergrad on Dauphin Island, we watched a video about barnacle lovin...not a discovery channel video, a comedic music video a well known biologist made...i'm trying to find it.
i think you've posted that video before actually, i don't remember it being funny, but i also don't remember understanding anything in it either. i guess it was one of those science humor things
oh, nevermind
I am down with a lunch. Just let me know.
fascinating research. joe, you remember dave werle? this guy is his boss.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008...in3799803.shtml

I can't wait until we use the power of Natty Sci to help AJ win his pinewood derby race.http://www.lazardev.com/physics_of_..._derby_cars.htm
Fuck it, we should create a corporate sponsored "pinewood kentucky derby race" as part of the derby festival. I'm sure some nerds from GE, UPS, The Speed School would have a blast nerding out on this shit.
I want to do the soap box derby that races down zorn avenue
http://www.louisvillesoapboxderby.com/
all we need is a 17 year old driver. Marc can use his love of the movie "Miracle in Lane 2" to guide us to victory
Jay,I might invite a girl from work for the Stagger. I don't know for sure that I would want her around a drunken staggered Adrian.
Adrian-that will only end well.
Adrian - I suggest you get a hotel room.
I'm building that car for MY AJ's pinewood derby next month!!
Article (stolen from fark) defending men who put off marriagehttp://pajamasmedia.com/2008/02/ask_dr_helen_8.phpThe thing that gets me worked up, is the article that this is a response. It postulates that men put off marriage because they are stuck in perpetual adolescence, and that this is terrible1) I readily admit to being stuck in adolescence, however2) I go to work everyday, pay my bills, and am looking for a house3) I haven't even met a woman to marry4) My life is awesome the way it isThe comments from the article are pretty interesting too.The only thing I may disagree with is the woman bashing in the article. While many of the stories are horrible, I believe women have the same right to autonomy and independance as men (and adolescence too)
WHY AM I AT WORK!! Science is neat!
To amend my previous post, I'm not saying marriage is bad, or that you shouldn't get married. I would like to get married someday. I just think that it is a personal decision, and everyone has a right to choose for themselves.
you're not alone brock
jay, that was an interesting article and learn from my parents' mistake...get married when you've found a person that you want to spend the rest of your life with and not a minute before.
That's all I'm saying, Barry.
Gay.
that's my philosophy anyway...and if that never happens to me, life doesn't always go the way I always plan and hey money, suits, and sex (ok maybe not the sex) my life will still rock.
go fuck yourself brent
that's the last time you gaywads talking about feelings can ever jump my ass for talking about politicsand to throw my two cents in, you can still be married and act like an adolescent, as wes has consistently demonstrated. i'm a dad and i act like a dumbass on occasion, but in my everyday life, i got a good job, i'm back in school, i pay my bills and take care of my family. i'm allowed to be a dumbass on occasion, which is basically true for pretty much everyone in the sci.
I act like a retard when I am out with you guys, otherwise I am a family man.This is how I see it. I personally think men are putting off marriage till later in life because we are more self sufficient creatures now. More men cook, clean, wash their clothes, etc... all at the same time more women have entered the work place ending the traditional 1950's concept of marriage. Couple that with people living longer, divorce rates are up, and more and more people are graduating college so essentially people "grow up" later in life now. It only makes sense for men (and women) to "put off" getting married.
i was just fucking with you wes
With that being said, keep in mind I come from a family where my dad and mom married at 20 and 18 and have been married ever since. I think this year is 35 years for them, so the fact that I didn't get married till I was 24 when I had a gf for several years was considered putting it off.
I feel as if in the coversation of self sufficient, dumbass, immature men who I am a pretty good "exhibit A". Also, I'm doing my best to corrupt Cuban too. I think I am making strides. I am winning some battles but we all know in the long run Diane will win.I just got out of my meeeting with the Southern Area director from Nashville and he called me an inbred hillbilly from Kentucky.
And the Federal Tax Refund came back today, jackpot...taxes are all back into my account.
Somone from TN calling a resident of KY an inbred hillbilly is like an idiot calling a moron stupid.
Way to go Jay for getting this crap started.
sorry for responding folks, i'll never write about marriage ever again...because marrying a woman and having sex with her is gay. Anywho, espn chat with david padgett @ 1 today. http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatE...?event_id=19200
WOO-HOO!http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/15439631.html
You beat me to it Barry.Here is the fox sports article.http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/...27s-Brady-fired
According to my boss, don't get married, shack up, there is an escape route there. Women take that till death do you part seriously and might try to kill you.
i'm trying to get as much mileage out of the old 'i let you move in, isn't that good enough routine?', but it's not going to last me much longer. You should've seen the impressive routine I came up with last time she brought up marriage, and how I artfully tried to dodge the question by asking 'am i not worth waiting for when the time is right?' well after doing this song and dance for a while, i found out that apparently i'm not
Douglas you can still stretch that out. Wait till you get the, "you will marry me or I'll break your legs" spill. Not sure if she was serious or not, but I do like my legs so I figure I better choose, and choose wisely.
unfortunately we're creeping up to that ultimatum, although it's going to be more like, 'give me a ring or you don't get anymore of my money'
Important information on the Tax Rebate checks. Make sure you guys read this.http://articles.moneycentral.msn.co...tes.aspx?page=1
i say just blow it on drugs and hookers, or better yet, hookers on drugs
First, its become acceptable for a professional or college athlete to cry like a little baby every time they lose (or win) a game, then guys are talking about how marriage makes them all warm and fuzzy, next thing you know before you jerk off you're going to need to light some candles and start a bubble bath. Jesus, whatever happened to being a man.
Crying over a sporting event is way more acceptable then crying at your wedding. The only tears acceptable by a man at their own wedding are when you get kicked in the nuts or bitch slapped for crying. Even then you better suck it up and walk it off.ESPN radio this week was talking about Valentine's Day. Colin Cowherd said a grat Valentine's Day gift would be a bottle of bourbon and a night of passion.
you're absolutely right, there is nothing manly about providing for a family
sorry, no mas. I'm a little surprised at the lack of comments from yesterday's post on tissue engineering at Wake Forest. I know some of you guys are probably already aware of it (Chris), but that video is awesome.here it is againhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008...in3799803.shtml
Brent - you can talk about being a man when you grow to a man's height.
I kid, I kid.
that was a pretty solid burn. cold, but solid.
i think it's okay for a man to cry at a wedding, after all his freedom is being ripped away and his nuts are being cut off. but crying b/c you're happy, that's unacceptable, you shouldn't be happy at your wedding
For the record, I was only joking....and yes that is the same lame joke I always throw at Brent.
I'm home bitches...take that.
Me too.
Wow, I'm glad I got a discussion going, even if it did make me look like a little bitch.
To speak up for the women of this text conversation....apparently men are screwed once married....
There is no great benefits....none. No being happy, being settled with the woman you love. That must suck....I'll keep that in mind.
hmmmmm
Michelle, I think you missed the point I was trying to make. If you look back to my original posts, I never said people should get married. I just said that being single is a valid option, for both men and women.
Now, you know one reason I have been posting a lot less.
Jay, I don't think I disagreed.
Marc, when are you moving in with Tiffany?
It hasn't happened already?
I'm obviously extremely bored while Brock continues to be busy at work.
Because Tiffany won't let you?
Hey hey hey thats all on him. I gave him a key..
Barry, for the record I saw the guy that had the tip of his finger re-grown and that shit was crazy. Four weeks later that guy's finger tip with the nail is re-grown using this cellular matrix powder that they get from a pig's bladder.Whole storyhttp://www.usatoday.com/tech/scienc...g-fingers_x.htm
Thanks asses!I work until 10 one Friday night and you baboons start chatting up marriage and love like Oprah or Dr. Phil while Michelle sits at home and starts drinking by herself...of course this leads to good times...
Brock-as soon as michelle posted, I realized I probably got you into trouble. My bad.
FUCKING AWESOME!! PITINO'S BIG PIMPIN' IN THE WHITE SUIT TONIGHT!!

Natty Sci lunch tomorrow?
I'm in. where do you guys want to go?
How do you get 100 cubans in a shoe box?Tell them it floats.Tentative plan for Friday night:The Cuban Freedom PartyWe are celebrating the day Cuban claims he became an American citizen (the day he came over on a floating door) with Diet Cuba Libres in a tall glass with a lime, cheap mexican beer, tequila and any other ethnic jokes we can make (Cuban wants sakibombs, beer pong, Sir Mix a Lot karaoke (it's Japanese for empty orchestra, hauntingly beautiful) and your favorite disney movie). All are invited except anyone with connections to the INS. What better way to celebrate 27 years in the US then with booze? The party doesn't stop till someone gets deported.Cuban also takes the first part of the CPA exams Friday so it should be a good night for all with drunk Cuban out.
Cuban and i are requesting Fat Jimmys on 5th street by Louisville Gardens for a pizza buffet.Per ESPN radio, what is more emasculating, a woman that is taller then you, more athletic then you or makes more money then you?
Joe - that was a pretty funny read actually.
i'm down for a lunch, let me know where. i can do friday, i have a wide array of disney movies to share, one of the advantages of having a kid. and the answer is more athletic than you.
I agree with Douglas on the more athletic part.
Of course, I did marry someone that has junior olympic medals. damn it.
I can do tomorrow if you guys want to do lunch.
I've dated more athletic, wasn't to humiliatingTaller then me is either amazon or model and I couldn't pull a modelI've got no problem with a chick making more then me.
NO MAAM!!!!LONG LIVE AL BUNDY
I might have to come into town for Cuba Libre day.
Fat Jimmys is fine...it is on 5th and what?
I think taller is worse.If she is more athletic, it may mean she is out of your league, therefore its a good thing, and there is nothing wrong with a suga mama.No Disney Movies Fuckers!

Any woman I date is bound to be more athletic and make more money than me. And if you can find a woman that is taller than me is a freak of nature anyway.I'd go with makes more money, on the caveat that it would have to be a whole multiple of what I make more than me (a few thousand dollars doesn't matter, but if she's making close to 100k, that would be too much for me. I don't need a sugar mama. I'm crazy, I know.)
I would love to date a woman that makes more money than me. That would be neat!
Fat Jimmy's is on 5th Street just south of Muhammad Ali just past the Gardens.
between muhammad ali and chestnut
Who needs a caratoid artery anyways? Its merely a flesh wound. I refuse to umpire behind the plate without the throat guard. I baseball foul tipped to the throat would hurt a little.
is it demeaning to want to date a taller woman so she can put her arm around you?
She's so tall I just want to climb her.Where'd did I get that line form? I know I stole it from somebody.
That's marc's line
i don't think it's so bad to want to be spooned, as opposed to doing all the spooning yourself
Damn that is going to be a long walk in the cold.
I plan to take the pedway all the way to 4th street live and then head outside.
i plan to drive downtown and park as close as possible, and if i have to pay for parking, put it on my expense report and chalk it up as a business mtg.
Roads are going to be bad tonight fellas, freezing rain later so if you can stay off the roads.
douglas, what end of town do you work on?
Well, the coaches poll is out and UL didn't make the top 25, that's pretty much BS. BTW, I would definitely say, a woman being more athletic than you is emasculating, too tall pretty much eliminates the whole damn field.
east end, on US 42. i work in the building right across from Austin's restaurant and Holiday Manor
thats quite a hike from downtown
What the hell, Marquette is still ranked, Kansas State, Vandy?
it's really not that far, i'm right next to the expressway, plus i go downtown a lot for work anyway
Yeah that is fucked up, how is UofL not in the top 25?
yeah, i guess it is easy when you're next to the interstate.
if you go to fatjimmyspizza.com they have maps available.
I'm still pushing for a snow day.
we just got the e-mail telling us to take our laptops home.But my alignment and tire wear is so bad that I'm tempted to just ride my bike into work tomorrow if the roads are bad.
What time is lunch tomorrow? All I know is that I have a meeting at 2:00 I have to be back for.
I was trying to come up with an Obama/Clinton "Bros before Hoes" team name for trivia, and I found out that stupid t-shirt hell already had the idea and made it into a t-shirt. http://www.tshirthell.com/store/pro...p?productid=902My lack of creativity never ceases to surprise me.
it's not your lack of creativity, in the case it seems to be the speed of the creativity...they're projecting 4-8 inches tonight, i was told to take my laptop home tonight as well. 4-8 would effectively shut down the city tomorrow, and hence, fat jimmy's lunch.
well it's not going to keep me from having to work. i live way too close.
This may prove useful tomorrow:http://www.lojic.org/snow/viewer.htmIt's the Louisville "Snow Plow" status map. They'll apparently keep it updated with all the streets they've pretreated, treated and plowed.
I'll be in the office tomorrow cause I ain't no bitch yo!My first day at Schwarz we had an ice storm down here and pretty much all the way up to the Henryville exit (exit 18). In fact, I was the only person to make it up from Louisville on that day. My manager told me I should I called in because of the dangerous roads in Louisville to which I responded, I couldn't, it's my first day.It took me 2.5 hours to get to work that day.4-8 inches of snow, that ain't shit.
So Douglas, Since you're chalking it up as a business mtg. does that mean you're paying?
We ain't going to get shit. The weathermen never get things right as far as snow goes.
we'll have to negotiate terms of that arrangement at the lunch...they've already salted our office parking lot and sidewalks, talk about pre-emptive. i'm taking odds with a co-worker on whether or not they'll call school tomorrow based on the threat of snow alone
dolly parton quote:"you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have back problems."http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,330345,00.html
It's already starting to stick a little bit here. But there is no way in hell they'll call off work, unless the governer can't get to his office or something (the mansion is next door to the capitol, where his office is). Although the state does have an inclement weather leave policy. Basically, if we don't feel safe to drive into work, we can take off the time. We have four months to make it up, or after that we can use up our personal leave.
The person in our office that makes the decision is from Detroit. I'll be at work tomorrow.
this was from the sports guy: shaq''s version of the cheers theme songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKhP3PnB_xM
Phil, I usually ignore the stuff you post, but that was pretty funny.
What the fuck, they have plowed and salted my street already.
I got Gears of War for the XBox360... curb-stomping... I may lose it!I'm gonna lose my job.
I just saw on the news that Bellarmine closed. They never close, so it must be pretty bad. I don't think I'm going into work for a while.
Its pretty bad out there. I live on a emer. snow route and only down the street from where I work but slide the entire way there. They say later on today its supposed to be better, that is if it doesnt start to flood. Id say today is an awesome day to be sick.
It's not that bad, at least rom my house to the hospitals. Most everywhere I drove was already plowed and salted. Suck it up people, and go to work.
Roads were worse last night coming home than they were going in this morning.
I have to be in at 10
My car is frozen over, because I don't have a garage. It's going to be awhile before I can get out. I keep calling the lab to tell them I'll be late, but no one is answering the phones.
This TARC schedule is confusing
i'm still at home, probably going in about 9:30ish. i'm sure the roads aren't as horrible as being reported, hell sarah made it to indiana in one piece, so if she can do it, i'm sure anyone can. i just work with a bunch of people with kids who don't have school today, so there's no one in the office. my car is frozen over too though
I'm walking down the street to catch a bus in a half hour. Cuban just left. They plowed our street and there is a pile of snow behind and next to Cubans car.
i actually got to work early today. Downtown is fine. I didn't bother going up the hill on Jane, it looked retardedly dangerous.Only three other people made it into work
so my roommate mary and her boyfriend were both parked behind me. mary gets up and i tell her it took a long time to clean off my car, and i have to leave so they should get up and clean there's off so they can let me out. i go upstairs to get ready and she goes back to bed. so i'm already kinda late so i tell her she needs to get up and move their cars. she says "i don't think we can..." um, the road is plowed. finally they got up and 20 minutes later i could leave. i'm so pissed.
my clients in israel and south africa really don't care if it snowed here. i can't wait till my lease is up in march.
So is lunch still on?
i'll go if you guys will go.
My day is wasted I don't care
I'm down, I need to eat something.
what time?
noon
Noon works for me
Damn, maybe I'll go to work so I can eat lunch first with you guys.Still sitting at home with little guy.
ok... i'll be there at noon.
can't do lunch, just got to work, gotta work thru lunch today
So as you all can see I successfully made it in to work on time using public transportation that wasn't my regular bus. That puts the score at:Joe 4 Mother Nature 0
what's your regular bus? Can't you just take the #19 all the way into downtown?
I regularly take the #53 Breckinridge express bus that only runs from 7-8 in the morning and 4:30-5:30 in the afternoon and takes I-64, since I was delayed I took the #19 in Frankfort this morning.
Snowball fights, sled rides and fort building are fun even in freezing rain!
when i worked at humana in college i took the #19 all the way down frankfort everyday. it was always fun to see the same weirdos everyday
I got to work about an hour late, which wasn't too bad. The place is empty, though. Like douglas said, no kids are in school, so every one is watching them. My boss, who usually gets there at about 7:15, didn't get there until 8, so I don't feel too bad.On another note, apparently Kellee and G broke up a few months ago. I just found out about that today.
oh no!!! can't they reunite for the stagger? or maybe if g goes, adrian won't be bringing that chick from work...
I would meet you guys for lunch but there is only like 25 of us here out of 170 or so people so they are chaining us to our desks.
i love my boss.me: "what do you get a cuban for his birthday?"my boss: "a green card."
Now she has to come to the party.
Cougars are always welcome
For those that didn't catch my memo yesterday, the Cuban Freedom Party is actually a birthday party. He claims to have been born in this country 27 years ago. I think some people missed that in the joke. Someone bring the pinata and the sombreros.
it gets better. she just brought me a green piece of paper and said 'here, maybe he can use this'
i love my job
Can you fill the pinata with bourbon?
seems like a bad idea when you hit it with a stick...
Not at all, you just surround the pinata in a loose plastic bag and put a funnel at the bottom of it. Maybe we should use beer instead.
For you guys that have been following the Wire, Sudhir Venkatesh has been meeting with real thugs in NYC and seeing what they think about the showhttp://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.c...wire/#more-1102I just finished Gang Leader for a Day and I must say the book is pretty damn awesome.
cuban, let me know your preference, kaelyn's going to let you borrow one of her movies for your birthday/immigration party, she heard you like disney movies. I got happy feet, care bears, spongebob squarepants, dragon tales, the pacifier, cars, or even some little einstein.
That new movie with the rock as a QB.
also, on a side note to this post, bmac did get a new 08 Civic, with enough room for a carseat
don't have that one yet
i vote for happy feet or dragon tales.
care bears!
Fraggle Rock
Someone download all the speedy gonzalez' cartoons from Looney Toons
and not just any care bears, yeah i got the old school ones, but i've also got the new high-tech digital looking care bears.
hey brock, screw gears of war. this will be your downfall:http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/851/851294p1.html
Jen the Rock movie is The Game Plan.I vote for the Pacifier, at least we get to see Vin Diesel 1/2 naked
Hey Cuban, I thought of another mix for the Rhythms of Cuba mix besides the Mexican Hat Dance. We can play a little Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song"
In a high pitched voice"Hell Yeah!"and maybe some Shakira
My fucking basketball team is forfeiting the first round of the tournament. Fucking bitches.Phil, remember when we were talking about job titles? So my official title at work is:Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom Global War on Terrorism Seriously Injured/Very Seriously Injured Coordinator/Key User/Sensitive 6/Veterans Service RepresentativeShortened:OEF/OIF GWOT SI/VSI Coordinator/Key User/Sensitive 6/VSRI nearly had to choke a bitch because she shortened it more to:GWOT Joe
"Global War on Terror Joe" would still look pretty bad ass on a business card.I'd at least give you a free sandwich if I worked at City Cafe.
Jerome, you on a team this year?http://www.courier-journal.com/apps...ZONE06/80212075
Kellee won't be making it to the stagger. She'll be out of town. Hopefully I can still get G to come, though.
When is the stagger?
I choo choo choose you:http://www.barstoolsports.com/rando...nes_day_school/

Joe-next stagger is Friday, February 29th.
I just got finished watching snakes on a plane on HBO and i have to ask how in the world did that movie ever get any budget money to make.
Awesome, with NCAA tourney hopes on the line UK is down 41-11 at the half. We went 9:45 without scoring a single point. We suck.
Adrian, SoaP is an awesome movie. What the hell are you talking about?
How 'bout dem 'Dores?!
stagger stagger stagger stagger stagger
xota, i hope you are joking
Adrian, the movie was freakin' hilarious. The sheer stupidity of it, and some of the intentional/unintentional comedy was great.
I got drunk and saw it in theaters on opening night. It was awesome. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Did anybody see Black Snake Moan? Is that another quality Samuel L Jackson movie?
I was laughing at it also on how dumb it was. But i still do not understand how it received any budget money and i would never,ever,ever,ever classify that movie as being awesome.
The movie was budgeted because Samuel L Jackson said he would do it
I couldn't help myself.http://www.courier-journal.com/apps...ONE03/802130310
Nice comment Phil, how long did it take you to come up with that one?
i read the headline and I just couldn't help myself. I wanted to add something in there regarding knowing it was a stupid joke, but I then decided I'd wait and see the reaction of the courier journal audience to the joke as is. I have a feeling that simple fart jokes will kill amongst the courier journal forum goers.

How Jose convinced Rocket to take steroids:http://sportsonaschtick.blogspot.co...nced-roger.html
Chris-I would argue that there was nothing unintentional about SoaP. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Sweet!http://tv.ign.com/articles/851/851861p1.htmlHow I met your mother and Big bang theory are returning March 17th with 9 new episodes. AWESOME!
Did you all go with the "I choo choo choose you" team name?
So this girl was passing out the stupid valentine's you passed out as kids in school and the one I got has a picture of a dog and it says "throw me a bone, Valentine." How do you get the job as Valentine writer?
I think all you have to do is pass 2nd grade and have opposable thumbs. I got a valentine today that had Dora the Explorer on it that said " I a'Dora You". I think what makes it worse is it was from my boss and she is like 50 something...not cute.
What are more creative the paper valentine notes with Dora the Explorer and, who is the kids love these days, Hannah Montana or the valentine chalk candy hearts with the little note?
i like anything that comes with presents.
went the other route for valentines day. We went with "The only thing colder and icier than this weather is my ex-gf's heart. Happy valentines day :("Molly looked right at me when they read the team name.Some team showed up and brought the thunder with their team name. They were "Eugene and Eugeniuses." That's just a solid team name.
As to the valentines day cards, I think it's much like getting a job as a fortune cookie writer.
for those of you looking for a place to take a hot date tonight, i challenge you to find something better than this:http://www.whitecastle.com/ValentinesDay/

douglas, i saw that on the marquee for the white castle on dixie highway, but they took it down last week so they must be booked up.
why the fuck were you on dixie hwy? there were some people in my office talking about that special, and it seemed like a genius idea to me. i don't know if whitey's has done it before or not, but it really is a phenomenal marketing idea. the new indiana jones trailer:http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/ind...tml?showVideo=1
New favorite VA screw up, guy has an above the knee amputation and instead of scheduling a general medical exam we scheduled a genitourinary exam. The buttons are right next to each other so it is an easy slip up, but a dumb one.
because tim's parents live off of greenwood road
that's quite a difference joe
I hate fax machines
Valentine's Day dinner for tonight -- Golden Corral!I made this bed and now I lie in it.
Abby and I are hanging out at home eating deli sandwiches and chips. If that's not love, I dont' know what is.
has anyone ever been to "big al's beeritaville" on mellwood ave?
Sounds awesome
that's only about a mile down the street from me, over by L&N, I think. I'd be up for trying that place out.
me too. they put a listing in the brochure we do for the trolley hop, and i just like the name. apparently they just put a bunch of money in the bar for renovations to make it less of a dive.
so barry bonds apparently failed a drug test in 01, like a month after he broke mcgwire's record. not good for clemens

I was just flipping through radio stations and NADA SURF "POPULAR" just came on. How old are we? *************************REMINDER***********************CUBAN FREEDOM PARTY tonight
happy cuban day, y'all!
so one of the vendors we buy printing from screwed up our order yesterday. in an email they sent to me this morning saying it would be fixed today, i scroll down to see the email from the customer service rep to someone else in their company that says "see the note from jen below. they are such a pain." i guess she forgot to delete that part.awesome. i would be less of a pain if they'd stop screwing our shit up.
this place is dead, I'm outta here
sorry i killed it.what time are the festivities beginning tonight?
i'm having dinner and will probably be over right after that, around 8 or 9 i'm guessing. of course i'll have bourbon, i don't care if it's cuban or not, i'm still drinking it. although i'll partake in a tequila shot or two i'm sure
are we going out or staying in? i guess my question is do i need to bring food?
oh yeah, i'll bring the pacifier too
jen, a quick answer would be it depends on how drunk we get
race it into your system.
Um, Cuban is probably home already. I get home around 5:00 and we are running to the liquor store and to the grocery for snacks. I'd say the general rule of thumb anytime after 7 we will be home. You can bring snacks if you want. We have stated that we wouldn't be surprised if we don't leave the house tonight. If we do leave, more power to us. I can't wait till I can get older and be the creepy old guy. This guy that rides my bus home that I basically only acknowledge with a head not randomly started talking to me yesterday. He saw me out at lunch with my lunch crew which is two married females. First time i've talked to him and he asked me if those two fine ladies were treating me for Valentine's Day. Didn't help my other co-worker on the bus with me goes, yep he's a ladies man. The old man kept on going and on and it went from funny to creepy quick. So no wthe people on my bus think I'm a pimp. Hell yeah!
i think it's getting to the point where i need to follow you around for a day. these things don't happen to other people
While I was eating some lady started banging on the window waving at me while we were eating. One of the people I was with asked if I know who it is and it took a minute and I realized it was my bus driver.I think a mix of my being a nice guy and I kind of ass kiss a little and fuck with people just to stay on their good sides because you never know when you might need their help or cross them again has made other people feel too comfortable around me and people start violating my comfort zone.
I'm not creative enough to come up with this stuff on my own.
joe, chris in the first round of the state tournament trinity won 10 matches-8 by pin. after 2 rounds there are 5 guys that have not lossed and the rocks are in second place behind union co. it would be nice to see coach rudolph go out with a title.
Barry, Cat says hi. fuck Union Co. Go Rocks. When did we win state in wrestling, 88, 89 or 90?
well i'll bring some snacks and i got the perfect cuban present. it's not a green card, either..... or a cougar.
arm floaties?
no, but thats awesome.
Does it involve cigars, sombreros or the mexican hat dance?
Or a combinatio of all 3?
nope.
i don't know whatever became of my sombrero.

big al's beeritaville submitted the copy for their listing:sports bar & grill. outside beer garden with horseshoes & cornhole. open 7 days a week, serving food until close. (they open at 10 am). we should try it out
jen, is it a disney movie? he likes those for his birthday
dammit douglas. you ruined the surprise.
I'm surprised Joe hasn't posted this yet, but it's the top 7 full house related sports moments:http://www.joesportsfan.com/column.php?postid=1475
We had a team meeting earlier and I made a reference to my boss about his wife and he responded with "you leaver her out of this she is already in trouble." He just left and I told him to have a good weekend and he said "boxing match my house 10:00". I told him if I were a betting man my money is on him. I hope he isn't beating his wife.

Joe, for the record, that was fucking bush league.
So how was the Cuba Libre party? I'm guessing from Jay's post that Joe got drunk and did something stupid.
Last night was fun. Jay i owe you some money for the cab
For the record....Cuban is a texting PIMP!
So Louisville is the 5th most underrated city in the US.http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests...BF9zAzI3MTk0ODE-
Joe, Jay, and anyone else who cares... I found this interesting album while dicking around not doing work. Rebel Meets Rebel is the self titled album put together by David Allan Coe fronting Pantera's rhythm section (drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, bassist Rex Brown, and guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott). I listened to some of the samples and it's definitely unique. As stated by yahoo music put it "the end result is less a fusion of metal and country than an all-out collision of the two." It sounds like they were doing this while with Damageplan until Dimebag got shot, so it's his last piece of music.
Someone forwarded this to me, thought it was funny:Clemens: You want answers? Congressman: I think I'm entitled to them. Clemens: You want answers? Congressman: I want the truth! Clemens: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has baseballs. And those balls have to be hit by men with bats. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Congressman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for steroids and you curse HGH. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that HGH, while illegal, probably sells tickets. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, sells tickets...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that mound. You need me on that mound. We use words like fastball, slider, splitfinger...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent playing a sport. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and falls asleep to the Sportscenter clips I provide,! then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a bat and dig in. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to! Congressman: Did you order the HGH? Clemens: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do. Congressman: Did you order the HGH? Clemens: You're goddamn right I did!!
Adrian, you don't owe me anything. You owe it to yourself. Chris-saying joe got drunk and did something stupid is an understatement. Cuban, have you talked to him yet?
i don't remember anything about being at saints, i left my phone in the cab, and i'm hungover. last time i mix and match with wine, beer, and bourbon all in the same night. i vaguely remember walking to saints, but that's about it
Surprisingly douglas, you weren't the biggest ass last night.
Just spill the beans already.

i do what i can jay. i can only hope i came in a close second
You sure did, douglas
that's comforting, i have a reputation to protect
i did puke all over my bathroom when i got home if that makes you feel better and had a hangover from hell yesterday
and i left my phone in the cab, i've got to go pick it up tomorrow from the cab office
well done, douglas.
That was one of the first NBA all star games that i actually enjoyed watching.

Joe-you just earned a couple of redemption points.
is someone going to tell the goddamn story or not?
The only thing I heard about this weekend is Adrian's friend Jessie came out and her friend Phil is a pretty interesting fellow when he is hammered.Trade rumors?
Personally, I'd like to hear how the evening went through Douglas's eyes, and then Joe's eyes (give us some of your thoughts at the time as well) and then Big Jay can swoop in and give us the real shit because I am guessing he was the sober driver.
no, tim was the sober driver. it may have been for the last time, though.
Tim will never speak to us again
scratch that. it was definitely the last time.
Jessie's friends were cool. Phil was pretty fun. Her other friend is f'n crazy, though. Still not the craziest one that night.
not by far.
actually, tim said you were 'pretty stand up guys' for the most part. he was mostly just pissed that cuban got left on his birthday.
wes, i would love to tell you about the nite thru my eyes, but that's really hard for me to do. Let me tell you what i do know. i remember bits and pieces about walking to saints, however i don't remember exactly who i was walking with. i think some people drove, and i was one of the dumbasses that elected to walk. don't remember walking in, i vaguely remember walking out to meet sarah in the cab, don't remember saying bye to anyone. don't remember the cab ride home, the only memory i have from actually getting inside is being in the shower, getting out, and looking at my floor thinking how dirty it was and having to clean it up. apparently i puked on myself, took a shower to clean it off, and i do remember cleaning the puke while i'm still stone cold drunk. and sarah was passed out for all of this
and sorry if i pissed anyone off for real....funny story, so i go to pick my phone up from yellow cab b/c the cabbie answered my phone over the weekend and told me he'd drop it off at the office. didn't know what time, but i just went at lunch. so my phone's not there yet, the dispatch mgr. was real nice and tried to track down the driver. finally i have him just call my phone to see if the guy answers (i'd been checking my messages all weekend and he only answered the once), sure enough he did, i guess when he saw on caller id he freaked out. keep in mind this guy is foreign as shit and probably not 100% legal. the dispatch mgr calmly asked the guy to bring in the phone today, and this guy starts having a fit, i can hear him over the phone cussing in indian or something, and this mgr is saying 'no, i'm not asking you, i'm ordering you.' he started off nice and was taking it, but i guess the cabbie said something out of line and this mgr. just started talking down to this dude bad. i don't remember exactly what he said, but it was something along the lines of how he's the one that 'authorizes' him, so he will listen to him and have the phone back in today. he gets off the phone, looks and me and smiles, and said 'you'll have your phone today, and if you don't, he won't be working, and he might not be staying here.' i wasn't trying to get the cabbie fired or anything, but it was funny as hell
Douglas - I bet cabbie called home several times on your phone.
i wouldn't doubt it for one second, i've already thought of that, if he did though, he's getting canned for sure. and i forgot to mention, it took me 20-30 mins. to get back to my office after leaving, as soon as i walked in, the dispatch mgr. called to tell me they had my phone, so i'm going back after work to pick it up.
Damn straight, can you check your minutes/usage online?
it'll be on my next bill
Have you all seen the Phillies player, kyle kendrickthat got punk'd, they told him he has been traded to Japanhttp://ballhype.com/video/kyle_kend...ded_to_japan_1/
That is a good prank. Best part about spring training is all the guys fucking with each other pulling pranks. A few years ago ryan dempster stole a guys rims off his SUV and hid them in 4 different locations in the stadium and left the vehicle on blocks.
joe, was it cliff that we made go and get the scoreboard key?
and i remember someone falling for the box of curveballs too
You should have told them to get you a box of sliders, maybe they would come back with a crave case.
I think we did it to Ryan Work. Don't forget the left handed fungo and the bucket of steam.
Okay, here's what happened, in great detail, without mincing wordsThere were a bunch of us hanging out at Joe's house, (Joe, Cuban, Douglas, Sarah, Brodie, Tiffany, Laura, Jen, Tim, Adrian, and myself). Most of us were drinking, because we thought we would stay there or walk up to the saint matthews bars. Sarah left, and then Marc and Tiffany. Tim decided to drive, so he, Jen, Adrian, and Cuban got in his car to go to Saints. Joe, Douglas, Laura and I decided just to walk. When we got there, we had a few drinks, and then I made a dumb comment about adrian having a 20,000 dollar watch, which was a stupid joke. Laura picked up on this and said she would do anything for 20,000 dollars, and ended up talking about sucking horse cock. We decided to leave, and Akiko's was suggested. I said we should go to Spring Street because their karaoke is much better than akiko's. Laura claims that her car is big enough to fit all seven of us (this is when douglas left). Tim, Jen, Joe, and Laura leave in Tim's car to trade it for Laura's. Adrian, Cuban and I were picked up a little later. Well, when the pulled up, we all had to cram into the back seat, because Laura neglected the fact that the back was full of shit, and there was no room back there. The seating arrangements ended up being Tim driving, Laura in the passenger seat, Adrian, Cuban, and I in the back seat, Jen on Adrian's lap, and Joe's torso in Cuban's lap and his legs on Laura. On the way, Tim couldn't hear the directions because laura had the music up way too loud. Then, Jen pulls out her camera and takes a picture of us, and then a picture of a missing dog poster that was in the back seat. Well, laura went ape shit about this, and when we stopped at one point (we had missed the turn because Tim couldn't hear anything) Laura turned off the car and started yelling at Jen, although it really didn't make sense. Once we get to Spring street, We all get out of the car. Tim storms off with Jen following him, and Adrian, Cuban and I followed them. We went inside to cool off, while laura had hopped in the driver seat. Joe tried calming her down, but after about 5-10 minutes, they just took off, leaving us stranded. Needless to say, we were pretty pissed. We called a cab, and while we waited for it, both Jen and Cuban got into texting conversations with Laura (while she was drunk and driving, smart move). Laura eventually agreed to pick us up, but at that point there was no way in hell we were going to get in the car with her. Moral of the story- Laura is fucking crazy, and we would do well to stay away. Joe-I don't know what's going on between you too, but you really need to be careful. She is nothing but trouble.P.S. I learned that the dog had been found safe a sound a month earlier.
There is a whole different story from that night that involves Adrian, but I'll let him tell it.
Woohoo Castro resigned! I may have to return to the Motherland
speaking of...happy birthday cuban!
Damn beat me to the Castro joke
Thank you Jen.Of coarse I beat you to it, as soon as I saw it I knew you or Douglas would make a comment. So baby Moses decided to nip it in the butt.
So will the trade embargo and all that shit end? If so and you want to go back can I go with you? Will it be cheaper to fly to miami and float or fly straight into Cuba?
i just know it will be much easier to find a cuban gift next year.
jay you summed that up quite nicely
Is this Laura the same one that did a 3 am drink off with me on New Years? If so, I concur, that bitch is crazy and is best to stay away....and I only met her that day.
cuban, congratulations on your birthday, i did see castro resigned and i meant to get on here first thing this morning and post a link, but i got busy. they were saying on the news that cuba's expected economic development over the next few years, in one day, just grew to like ten times what was expected. and wes, yes that's the same laura. cuban told me like a month ago they'd been doing whatever the hell they're doing but he acted like it was a big secret, come friday, apparently everyone else already knew. i don't remember exactly how rude i was to her, but i do remember making the comment about her getting her ass kicked in your drink off, and how i didn't recognize her without her head in a garbage can. i was just fucking with her and she seemed to take it well, of course i guess i missed the return of the drunk laura. what is it with joe and girls named laura?
Yeah she got her ass kicked and I got my ass kicked as well, there were no winners in that drink off.
everyone is a winner in a drink off
Cuban-happy birthday. How old are you?Adrian-Thanks
i probably shouldnt have reminded her that she was crying in her whiskey either. and it probably didnt help when someone introduced her to tim and he said "i remember you. i held the trash can while you puked on new years"
I can say, that I don't blame Tim for being pissed. But let's get real here, Tim doesn't like to be around that stuff, so why he would knowingly put himself in that situation baffles me. With that being said, Jen, he must really like you to keep subjecting himself to us assholes.
yeah, we're pretty predictable that way. very good at pissing off others, whether it's on purpose or not.
well i don't think any of us knowingly put ourselves in this particular situation. if i would have known that taking a picture of a lost dog poster for a dog that's been found for a month would get my ass left at a bar, believe me, i would have stayed home. but you just don't bank on that sort of craziness.
wow, it sounds even dumber when you say it out loud.
It sounds so stupid, that you know you aren't making it up....because people just don't make up somethign that stupid sounding.
I just overheard the chick in the cube next to me talking about a veteran claiming "the clap". I pop my head over the cubicle wall and say "I'll never forget the day I found out I was allergic to penecillin." I'm glad she has a sense of humor.
to any accountants out there, or anyone who knows anybody in public accounting, i've got two job openings, both with two of the best companies in the city to work for, that only want people from a public accounting background with audit experience. if you know anyone looking to leave public accounting to work with a corporation, let me know, there's no travel also.
Any job openings for scientists?!
Douglas - care to give out any more information like companies and job titles?

Worm, that is the funniest shit I've read all day.
For those of you like me who want to play doctor....www.adultswim.com/games/game/index.html?game=surgeonI knew I should have just this shit on homeless people.
is UK going to make teh tournament this year? Is second place in the East touranment worthy with their 3 non-conference wins? Is the fact that they are UK and will draw fans get them in the tourney?
most likely. they've got 8 conference wins, with 4 more home games and a few on the road. No SEC team with 10 wins has ever been kept out of the NCAA, and a UK team that's putting it together at the end of the year (they've won like 7 of their last 8), coupled with a good run in the SEC tourney, they'll be fine. with that said, there's not much room at all for error here, so with another couple losses, that could easily go out the window, they've got to finish very strong, but they've got road games at TN and at FL to help push up their RPI ranking, if they can get one of those with 3 home wins, they're in
and i don't care how pretentious it sounds, it's UK. UK is always a draw on national TV, always travels well for tournaments, can always pack an arena. if they're on the bubble with like a miami of ohio or some other mid major school like that, UK will get the nod every time
I heard the 10 win SEC fact yesterday. I think it was Rick Bozich on the radio had a listener drop that. His response was "has a 10 win SEC team ever lost to San Diego and Gardner Webb?". San Diego is 8-1 in their conference this year and will end up 3rd behind Gonzaga and St. Mary's, both I think are ranked. I think they are 15-10 so that loss doesn't look that bad when you really think about it.
You guys have basically summed up my thoughts, but I give them anyways.When I hear the point that no 10 win SEC team has ever been left out my first comment is no 10 win SEC team lost to GW and San Diego in the same season. It is true that UK does have some bad losses, but they also have some good wins. Being one of only 2 teams that beat UT is pretty good and they were ranked #1 in the RPI at that time, also the first win over Vandy helped out. The loss to Gardner Webb is bad, however, San Diego is looking better now considering they are pretty much neck and neck with Gonzaga for the Mountain West Title.I think UK needs to make it to the SEC tournament as the E2 seed, but also, I do not think they can afford to lose more than 1 game for this final stretch, which will prove to be tough since they play Arkansas, Ole Miss, UT and UF still to go. If UK does make it to the E2 seed, they get a first round buy, which can reallly help those guys out to make the finals as they will already play a worn down team. If UK gets to 21 wins, they are definately in.As of today, UK's RPI is 71, their SOS is somewhere between 16 and 27 (I have seen both numbers).
Say if you have a son that is a pretty talented basketball player. Would you rather him go to a top notch program like a UCLA, UK, UofL, Memphis, etc.. or go to a smaller mid major and own the competition? Do you think his chances of making the NBA are better at the smaller school or bigger school?
If the only thing holding him back from the NBA is the age requirement, I'd like to see him in a school with a team in a high media coverage conference, a program not TOO steeped in history (so NO to UK, IU, and UCLA) a coach who isn't bigger than the program (so NO to U of L, Duke, Syracuse, Memphis, etc.), and a place where the kid is surrounded by talented guys who are nowhere NEAR as good as he is. Jason Kidd at Cal ... Mayo at USC ... Durant at Texas ... Oden at OSU. If the kid just needs some polishing, you send him to guys like Coach K, Izzo, Calipari and Pitino. Hell, even OTS can help shape future role players in the NBA.This is all assuming that college is just a stepping stone to an inevitable professional basketball career.
is AJ already showing signs of promise?
I think I saw on scouts.com that if he can fill the lane like he fills a diaper, he has the potential to be one of the great big men in the game.
Sorry I think Gonzaga and SD are in the West Coast Conference. The Mountain West Conference hosts perennial powerhouses Utah, BYU, and New Mexico.AJ is too happy of a kid, always smiling so I am going to have to develop a mean streak in him if he wants to play down low. Unfortunately, even though there is some height in my family, there isn't big man height so we are going to have to stick to jump shots and work on the perimter defense. But if he is 1/2 as deadly as he is with peeing on the changing table pads as he is with a basketball, watch out!
I'd go to a school like Xavier, put up 25 points a game, win a couple games in the tournament and then leave after my sophomore year. Scouts and GMs would rather take a guy from a small school, Europe or high school that has "potential" than someone who was averaging 17 points a game as a senior, no matter how proven he is.I always liked Malcom Gladwell's article on how he would be a GM: http://gladwell.typepad.com/gladwel...heuristics.html
damn, I meant bye in the tournament not buy.
Wes if you're trying to toughen AJ up, just shake him..
Makes you wonder why Duke and UCONN don't win it all every year? Like I have stated in the past, I will state again. Coack K does less with more talent than any coach in the history of the game.
Nah, I like my happy baby boy. On a good note, he had his first solid turd yesterday. Those are so much easier to clean up.
Trust me, if that is your reaction never have kids. I have been thrown up on, crapped on, peed on and God knows what else to the delight of my 6 month old son.
joe, i got your message. as far as what LSU is going to do at QB, I suspect this indefinite suspension will end once spring training starts or shortly thereafter. I have to admit with our other options (a Harvard transfer and a redshirt freshman) not having seen the field yet, I don't see Les pulling the plug on Perrilloux. This kid has all the talent in the world, but apparently doesn't see or doesn't care about how to best use it. Background info to give you a feel for the kid: when he came here he said he was going to win the Heisman his freshman year (pretty obnoxious given he had compete with Russel and Flynn to even be a starter).
wes, when those solid ones start smelling, you'll be wishing you had the infant poop again, especially when they shit down their leg and up their body in the middle of the night, and you're giving him a bath while his clothes and the sheets are in the laundry, and you pray that you have an extra set of sheets that are clean to put on his bed so he doesn't have to sleep with you, and this entire time you are vomiting because the 'solid' turds smell way worse than the infant ones you had gotten used to. or i guess you could make abby do it, i just didn't have that luxury
Everyone I meet that has kids tells me not to have them. I got that from 2 people just today.
the way I see it you have to options when he starts on solid food Wes. Deal with full strength meat eating baby poo or make him a vegan. The poo won't be as bad, but he'll be a pussy. Better yet make him a vagitarian. What up!
Vagitarian is the way to go fo sho!Jay - Kids are great, you just have to be flexible and responsible enough knowing that this kids life depends on you. Understand, things are not on your schedule all the time any longer. Thankfully, I have a very flexible job year round and Abby is pretty flexible 9 months out of the year.
it's good that your wife is flexible...
as for having kids, people that say that stuff about not having them are either horrible parents or have never had their own kids. it's a personal choice, i'd never get on someone for not wanting them, i can understand that sentiment, but i wouldn't trade it for anything
hey, hey, hey douglas would you want to have your kid, OR a nice cup of cocoa while getting a blow job?
Well said Douglas. Who ever thought you'd be the voice of reason.
well, phil, i-i-i don't know. i mean, kids are cool and all, but they shit and stuff, like all the fucking time, and you can't take them to bars. and, you know, a nice cup of cocoa, especially while you're getting a blowjob, is awesome. and, also, you know, i mean, a kid can't give you a blowjob. well i guess they could, but then you'd go to jail, and that would suck balls, so you wouldn't be able to enjoy it, you know? so, i-i-i-i think i'd have to go with the cocoa and the BJ
Wrong answer, douglas. The correct answer is "whatever intern wants"
wooo! i just came back from lunch and there's 500 bucks sitting on my desk. i love my job.
does the cocoa have marshmellows?
Douglas - I heard you called Laura Sea Biscuit. That is just funny.
That is all Cuban's reference
not sure where you heard that, but yes, i think i did, and to someone who was there, wasn't I making the horse sounds too?
i know mark did first, i stole it from him
In Rod we trust? Hardly.We were informed today that senior cornerback Rod Council was arrested early this morning. Based upon the information we received, Rod Council has been permanently dismissed from our team immediately. We do not tolerate that type of behavior in our football program. Fortunately, no innocent bystanders were injured or harmed in the process.Rocco GasparroAssistant Sports Information DirectorUniversity of Louisville(502) 852-0102
Allegedly, Rod was involved in an armed robbery in NC.
Yeah, that is cuban's thing. We all kind of stole it. However, I don't find it as funny as I used to.
WWRD...What would Riggins do? Play GambitThe actor who plays Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights signed a deal to play Gambithttp://www.slashfilm.com/2008/02/19...-deal/#comments
Douglas, you were doing a lot more that just making horse noises. You were also telling her she needed to put a cock in her mouth.
Phil, I just got an email about football. We have a depth chart. I am the #2 at WR1 and WR2 but the #1 at WR3. I am also the starting CB on defense.
are you guys playing in a spring league?
They invited me to play on their team at Tom Sawyer on Wednesdays starting in late March. That is all I know
i can't say i'm totally surprised my drunk ass said that. i'm just lucky she didn't hit me. it's good she has a sense of humor
was i saying it had to be a horse cock? that would've been funny
Actually, you were talking about joe's cock. The horse cock was her idea.
Wasn't the horse cock Adrian's idea she just ran with it?
joe, stewart mandel calls for perrilloux's dismissal.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...sion/index.html
note the top stories section. the first one is about julio jones testifying in a murder case (good for him) but the next 5 are about suspensions and arrests. It seems every year at ths time the headlines are the same. Why is that? Is it: a)my skewed view on things; b)media reporting these things more regularly because there is no other football news; c)kids getting in more trouble because they're not in practice; coaches and communities keeping things hush hush during the season and either d)releasing news later or e) just not letting word get out during the season. I suspect that it is a combination of a few of these. Thoughts? Collegiate baseball guys? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/
Joe-you may be right
She did say, and I quote "I would do ANYTHING for 20,000 dollars!"
Rod "the harddrive" Council strikes again. It almost makes me wonder how much shit got swept under the rug while Petrino was in charge.How is everyone? From what I've briefly read, it sounds like things are going at a pretty legendary rate. I miss you guys!
We miss you too, Stew. When will you be in town next?
there was all kinds of shit swept under the rug when petrino was here, no doubt. i think that's part of why he left, he was on top w/ the orange bowl win, he knew he was losing talent, and there were some unsavory character issues he didn't want to fuck with
Apparently, I've been tagged to sing at the "Elf Shoes" girl's wedding.Did someone mention Cuban?
Nope, but you should.Joe - They can't deny your flag football talent. Shit, I am going to start calling you Voodoo.

Joe - since you are the starting CB, I think you should buy 50 sets of gloves...one for every pass you are gonna pick off.
the funny thing is I suck at defense. I'll stick with a pair for every TD reception, maybe 2. Apparently this is a very competitive league with college football players and my team sucks. If I decide to play I can't wait for the Joe vs Phil flag football grudge match at Tom Sawyer park. I hope he lines up across from me.
I don't think we'll be playing in the spring. I forget if you guys have a playbook or just calls for the routes the QB wants you all to run.
we have numbered routes. I don't know how we call the plays.
ah, then if i recall correctly, I think your QB just calls them out at the line of scrimmage then. You guys aren't the worst team in the league. there was a team that we played that we were fighting over who got to pick off the next pass.

Best thing about the article, though, is what he said over the weekend...that he has two children on the way, one in July and another in August. Two girls knocked up in the matter of a month, that's fucking impressive.
football's own shawn kemp, or larry johnson, or most NBA stars really`
Well McFadden is a stud, just living up to the billing I guess.So I am watching the combine LBs were tonight. Ali Highsmith didn't run a very good 40 yard time, 4.93 and then a 5.0x which really had me surprised. However, in the agility part he did a heck of a job, cat quick reflexes and fluid hips make his cutting near picture perfect.Wesley Woodyard ran a 4.54 and then a 4.49 40 yard time giving him a 4.51 second, 2nd fastest LB time. The analyst were gushing over him big time after the drills so it sounds like he is playing himself up the draft. Now how far up the draft, I am unsure.
At the combine 2 guys have actually ran a sub 4.3 40 yard dash. The receiver from App. State (Dexter Jackson?) and the running back from East Carolina ran 4.28 and 4.24, respectively.
So I finally gave in and called LG&E about my blinking lights in my house when they blinked consistently for a minute straight and I could hear teh blinking and smelled burning. the lights would blink and the TV would turn off. Turns out that the connection is bad on the main pole in the back and my neighbors behind me had called and complained too. Apparently when the storms came through and I lost power for a couple days they fixed it shitty. They did a "bandaid" fix and were supposed to come out and fix it already but they haven't. A crew should be out in the next week, I hope my house doesn't burn down by then.
Great, Joe. You just gave god an idea of another way to kill you. Way to go.
DVR must have: DBs running 40s today
okay, so i've had the craziest weekend. my phone was stolen while i was at the mall this weekend, and the chick who took it used it to call my parents in tennessee and tell them that they had kidnapped me, demanded a ransom, and said they'd call back in 2 hours with the terms. they then called my sister and told her that they had murdered me, and if she didn't send money, they'd come and kill her too. so they sat there thinking i was dead for three hours until i called my parents (not knowing what had happened) and my dad hands the phone to a police officer that came to their house. eventually the girl left my phone at a rally's at 18th and hill, where the police went to go get it.so, needless to say, if anyone called you this weekend and said i was dead, dont get your hopes up; it was a nasty prank.
i don't know how to respond to that, i laughed, but it's really not funny. all i can say is 'wow'
didn't something like that happen to mindy once before too?
yeah, it's kinda weird when you say it out loud.
the fun part is, the chick kept my sister's cell phone number and called it from her own phone, so it showed up on caller id. the question now, is what do i do with her number now that i have it?
my initial thought is to put personal ads in the paper saying "free sex. men and women welcome, bring your friends" and include her phone number.
giving her number to the cops might be high on my list of things to do...
by the same thing happening to mindy, i didn't mean the calling and telling people she was dead. I was talking about someone having her stuff and leaving it at a rally's
well, the cops don't want to trace it until the county attorney tells them what the charges are. the county attorney wont tell them what the charges are until they tell them who they are pressing charges against. it's kind of a vicious circle. i spent the last two days at the court house trying to figure this shit out. the law isnt really clear on demanding ransom for someone who isnt kidnapped.

I missed a good crank calling opportunity darn it...darn it...darn it. There goes my plan to stay awake at work.
Phil and Wes, I think you two are the only ones who will appreciate this. My manager was talking to us about a project we are trying to complete and she told us to step back and take a fresh look at it and clear our eyes. I couldn't help but drop a "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose." Nobody in the meeting caught the reference and i felt like an idiot.
That is fantastic Joe. For the record, that saying is my signature on kentucky.scout.comand my avator is Heath Ledger as The Joker.
weather.com has a nice flash map, but I didn't think it was big enough. So I hacked it on up to a nice big map:http://www.nattysci.com/weather/
Phil, can you interface that with google maps and map out the bars and if the sidewalks are icy?
Sadly I don't have any control over it. Basically I just ripped apart the weather.com's html to find the map and make it bigger and on it's own page.Although, for shits and giggles you can actually go to the Louisville Snow Removal Center and see which roads they've plowed, salted and pretreated at http://www.louisvilleky.gov/PublicW...movalcenter.htm

Anyone up for a drink tonight? Is there still a Tuesday trivia at Wicks?
Up to drink...always
Burket you okay?I'll grab a drink, after Abby gets home. I have AJ till she gets here.
After a long call last night and getting a little busy this evening, it's getting late for me to have a drink and be functional tomorrow. If I make the Stagger this weekend, it could get ugly though.I know this does not really pertain to any of the Sci anymore, but if I can reach any stray visitors to the site, it's worth it. DON'T GO INTO MEDICINE. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. YOU WORK YOUR ASS OFF. YOU HAVE A SHITTY LIFESTYLE. YOU BECOME A TARGET. IT'S NOT IF YOU GET INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT, IT'S WHEN.fuck it all
Ruh-roh, sounds like chris needs some legal help.
beer good, fire bad
Joe, you're a god damn genius!
Sorry to hear that buddy, how bad is it?
fire very bad
Jay,I might not be able to make stagger.
This day in History: 1827 - New Orleans held its first Mardi Gras celebration.
SEC East is gonna be crazy.So if UK wins out, UK wins the SEC EastIf, UT beats UK and wins the rest of their games....UT wins the EastIf, UK and Vandy are tied for the lead then Vandy wins the tie breaker.
I was reading on Yahoo about the combines and they said brian brohm runs a 4.8 40. That is BS!
imagine if UK fucking won the east, it'd be hard to keep them out of the tournament
If UK wins the East, their RPI will be in the low 40s...you can't keep themout then.
i stopped watching the moment of truth, because I knew this would eventually come up:http://hollywoodcrap.com/2008/02/26...oment-of-truth/but the end question is well worth watching
Come on, what are the odds UK wins out? Withthe way they've been playing this year, they have the potential to lose any one of those games. I'd almost give UL a better chance at winning out than UK. Even if UK wins the East, they could still fuck up the SEC tourney and not make the big dance.
I don't understand why getting a passport has to be so freakin' complicatated. Passports, Visa, Shots ... Its all Bull Crap!
it totally is. where are you going?
Well I have been waiting on my passport for months now. The shots arent so bad unless you have to get smallpox...that one stinks and you get a lovely scar as a parting gift.
i got my passport quickly when i applied back in sept. or something, i had it in october. as for UK, if they win the east, they're in, regardless of what they do in the tournament, not saying they will, just sayin...
Sure UK has a chance not to win out, but I have to like my chances of winning the East. The big road block is UT at their place. I see us going 3-1, but if UK wins the East, there is no way they don't go dancing. Yes, we will have bad loses to GW and San Diego at home, however, our RPI will increase substancially and we will be in the low 40s. We have Ole Miss (UK is 6-0 at home in SEC play against a team that hasn't won on the road in the SEC)UT (2 loses in the conference, ready to make a statement after losing to Vandy)USC (on the road, Dave Odom's last chance to beat UK...he wants this one badly)UF - young team doesn't play well on the road.There is no reason why UofL shouldn't win out their schedule.
Are you serious about UK? Have you freaking watched them all year.Come on ... Come on
I am just saying we are still alive.
Andy Katz and Dick Vitale say we are both in.
letme say, as of today I do not think we are in, but I do think we will get an invite.
I assume that most of you are smarter than to do something like this. But just to be safe, if anyone ever offers you an opportunity to feed wild reef sharks with chum in the water, no safety cage, and no chainmail (sp?) say no! Its a bad idea. I think these shark feeding tours are a horrible idea anyway to begin with but this was really stupid.http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/26/sh...iref=newssearch
have you watched UK win 8 or their last 9? they're not the team that lost to GW and SD. they're not world beaters, but they're NCAA tournament caliber, and will put up a fight with anybody
like Vandy...had to
The Vandy game was a bunch of little things that all came together for the perfect storm.I think Vandy shot somethign like 65% for the game (game not a half), and UK shot low 30%. You are going to lose that one everytime.
UK has a chance to make some (recent) history tonight. UK hasn't had double digit wins in the SEC for 3 years.
Adrian-that is bullshit. On another note, I just ran into Erin Aberly up at Bellarmine. (Wes and Marc will remember her as "The Deli Girl") Apparently she is in elementary education. (after having gotten a communication degree. Sound familiar?)
uk is trying to blow this 23 point lead.
Thank God UK was up by 23 and not just 19. I have to say, the zebras helped Ole Piss back into the game. The phantom foul on Bradley on the wide open lay up that Warren missed was classic.
Anyone want to join us for football on Sunday at noon? It is supposed to be in the 50s.

Is anyone planning on coming up tomorrow? I'd like to get some kind of head count. The only person I know for sure is Jen.
i've revirginized, there's 3 girls out there that think they were my first, only one of them is right
Jay, I won't be able to make it. I'm not sure what Marc decided he was going to do but since we have to be up early on Saturday I doubt he is going either.

The softer side of Billy Gillispie.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5RqsTFZxws
we should reschedule stagger if no one is coming.
Jay, depending on how Joanna feels after a day stateside, we may come down. I have already mentioned it to her. If we come down, I'll try to bring Joe along, but he'll eventually read this and can answer for himself.About the "re-virginizing" thing, there was a decent "King of the Hill" episode about it. Luanne becomes a born again Christian.LUANNE: Uncle Hank, I quit being a virgin the first time I had sex. HANK: Nobody likes a quitter, Luanne.
tonight is another deadly combo of half off appetizers (u of l game) and free beer glass at flanagans, if anyone is down. I'm about 50/50 depending on how a meeting at work goes.
Damn Abby for being in busy season.
She is making me miss out on a free beer glass.
Yeah, turnout is looking pretty abyssmal. Everyone from up here is bailing too.
Worse than last time?
someone posted this picture in the comments of one of those shark articles, and it made my chuckle:http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/...d5120a56wi0.jpg
Wes-yes. Last time we had three frankfort people there. This time we ~might~ have four. I doubt it. However, it seems like only 1 or 2 Natty Sci might show up. So, it doesn't look good. I mean, worse comes to worst, I can go out drinking by myself if I have to. But I'd rather not.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
drinking by yourself is underrated, you can have the best conversations that way sometimes
speaking of talking to yourself, someone removed garfield from all the garfield comics. It is kinda awesome and creepy all at oncehttp://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/
UK RPI is up to #56
gonna be hard to keep them out...
It will be hard to keep them out if they win at USC and against UF. If we don't win both of those, then it will be easy to keep them out...unless we win the SEC tourney.
I emailed people today, telling them that the stagger was cancelled, but apparently G and some of her friends, and Lindsay and some of her friends will be there, so, if anyone wants to come up, I'll be going out tonight. Just let me know before hand.
Also, I got my first paycheck today from state police. $5.12. Hell Yeah! I'm buying all the drinks tonight!
Damn, I knew government pay was lower but daaaaayum. Benefits must be killer.
Well UK's season is officially over. Patrick Patterson has a stress fracture and will be out for the rest of the season.
that's awesome Jay! that's enough for a yoo hoo and a candy bar!
Patterson news made the CJhttp://www.courier-journal.com/apps...ORTS03/80229028
yeah, they're not winning the east
Or any other game.

Article about college students getting drunk and starting their weekends on thursday'shttp://www.nwaonline.net/articles/2...fznewfriday.txtAmateurs.(Stolen from Fark)
UK played with a lot of heart today without Patterson but loses to UT 63-60. Crawford had a 3 pointer rim out with about 3 seconds left to play. Tough loss to the CATS, but man did they show some grit and determination today.
I think we would all like to see this policy adopted at Louisville theatershttp://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a.../803020330/1321(Stolen from Fark)
Joe / WormWith your Insight HD cable box, do you a HDMI cable only from the box to your tv, coax cable only or do you use both?
adrian, you need either component (the red/green/blue cables) or HDMI to the TV to get the HD signal. Coax won't have the HD signal
Damn, if one thing sucks about living in California, its that we can't get good college games out here (football or basketball). Outside of LA, I don't think anyone gives a fuck about USC or UCLA, it pisses me off that I can't watch UK or UL who are both playing better than UCLA or that other shit team I don't even want to mention. Every time I see a USC #5 jersey I just want to punch the asshole in their face. Fuck the PAC 10...posers.
the pac 10's no sec, that's for sure
UK moved up to #52 in RPI, even with the loss to UT.
Phil,That is what i thought also and the cable guy installing my HD box was like I didn't need an HDMI cable and COAX should do just fine.
Adrian, that guy is retarded. Like Phil stated, in order to get the HD signal, you need the cables that can carry it. I have component cables carrying my signal and it works fine, of course my TV is broadcasting in 1080i and not 1080p, but I think you will be fine either way.
I have the cable going to the box and then HDMI to the TV.
anyone get on the trails this weekend? I'm going to buy some new tires and give the ol' dos niner a tune up pretty soon because my fat ass is out of shape.

Here is an article from Fark about applying Title IX to physical sciences and engineering.http://www.american.com/archive/200...more-like-a-manIt was kind of upsetting, until I came across this comment in the threadsPerhaps the question should be why there are MEN in those tracks either. Horrible workload, terrible social stigma, awful career rewards compared to other fields that require similar talent and drive - why the heck would anyone go in for that?It's not that smart women aren't smart enough, it's that they're too smart to fall for that miserable dead-end. Notice how many are going into other more rewarding carreers? If they can do math and science, they end up as doctors or pharma researchers, where the money (and more socializing and personal reward) is.This pretty much sums it up. Right Brock?

I had to take my dog to the VET today and ended up driving the Camry because I didn't want to put the dog in the Acura. Big mistake, Acura has all-wheel drive. I made it there okay, us momentum on my side and on the way back got stuck...so I had to put it in reverse then drive and then reverse and drive...probably doing this 5 or 6 times....and then the light bulb goes off.....USE THE LOW GEAR RETARD! Yeah, so then I put it in L and made it up the small hill......not all that easy but I made it up it regardless. So I drove home in the lower gears L and 2 and everything was just fine. Turned into my neighborhood and slid about almost side swiping a light pole, but I managed to counter steer and right the car. I saw a few cars slide off the road and if I didn't have Daisy with me and had the Acura, I would have stopped to help them...but I was like every other jackass and just drove by. That sucks, but I didn't want to chance anything.
I am pondering driving to Dairy Queen because when it snows like this they have buy one get one free Blizzards....have to claim it within 8 hours of the snowfall though.
there's nothing wrong with the roads now, once you're out of your neighborhood it's smooth sailing

You know what kind of ship never sinks?Friendship.That is the last time i ever eat laffy taffy. Worst joke ever.
not sure, but the parade is this saturday at 3:00 on bardstown/baxter. i'm thinking i'll do that.
For my trip in May, I have to get Hep A, B, Typhoid, Maleria, Tetnis and maybe three other different shots. My arm is going to hurt on Thursday.
where u going?
IndiaChandigarh, Agra (Taj Mahal), Delhi, Pune
i'm going to france in may, but no one's told me about any shots i gotta get, so maybe it's just india...
It is probably just with certain countries. A girl at work contacted the International Travel Health Clinic for me and got me the appointment. They will go over more in detail of all the shots that i need.

see 2 posts ago Cuban
damn, beat me to it chris
Hey, I just heard a rumor that Britney spears is going to be on How I Met Your Mother. Can anyone post a link confirming it?
I heard Danica McKellar might be on an episode too.
i believe the official st. patrick's day is actually on saturday, but if anyone is looking for something to do between 6 and 7pm on monday you are more than welcome to get smashed and watch my clumsy ass fall down on the ice in our championship game.
Phil, no one believes me when I tell them the Catholic Church moved St. Patty's to Saturday this year. Apparently Monday is already a Catholic holiday, so they moved it this year to Saturday... or that its easier to get hammered on Saturday than Monday.
Went to my first NHL game tonight.... I may return...Thursday for 2 dollar tall beers.....if they remove my shackles long enough....
Fuck the Catholic Church. St Patty's Day is March 17th. They can't go move a drinking holiday just because it's holy week. Monday isn't even one of the important days of the week like Holy Thurs, Good Fri, and Holy Sat.
The Irish are keeping the date the same despite what the church says, so that's good enough for me.http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=9917The St. Patrick's Festival Committee in Dublin confirmed that next year's parade would be March 17 as usual. In addition, Monday, March 17, will remain an official day off of work in Ireland. (article written Jul 19, 2007)
Why can't we celebrate it Friday through Monday? Just a thought. I did hear that this is the first time in something like 90 years that St. Patrick's Day has fallen during Holy Week. I'm blaming it on Global Warming.
Colin Cowherd on Marriage and dating:Dating should be like the NFL combine. Do some scouting, give them a workout, see them without their shirt on, ask your wingman Mel Kiper. If you get lucky your high school sweetheart will be like 6th round pick Tom Brady.When this whole till death do you part thing started life expectancy was 31. Anyone can do that we have evolved why hasn't marriage. Cavemen might as well get married because she will get eaten by a sabertooth tiger in no time.A marriage should be like an NFL contract. Women should have a salary cap, avoid arbitration, no trade clause while in the relationship, don't front load the contract, there is free agency and contract extensions.
My boss on retirement and marriage:Between being stressed out at work or being stressed out in close quarters with you, if I in close quarters with you I end up down US 42 in Lagrange.......you know from putting you in a headlock.

Adrian, why are you going to India? Whatever you do, do not get the japanese encephalitis vaccine, its not worth it and it will mess you up or it did me and its way too expensive.Hep A, B, and tetanus are the only shots, malaria and Typhoid are pills, malaria you just take doxycycline everyday while you are there.
Sorry, internet is back up at work, was out for a day and a half. Joe - Uncle Colin was pretty damn funny talking about marriage.

I had to get a booster for polio when I went to China. China sucks. Except for the shopping for cheap purses and rolexes.
regarding last night's St. Patrick's Day discussion ... I think Brock's right, but it may just be the feast day that was moved. I don't know which Ascension Chris went to, but holy week never really stopped anyone over there from getting piss drunk. I say pound away on the seventeenth ... take that however you want.
I'm still supporting drinking Friday thru Monday
that seems to be the best idea, granted i'm not catholic, but spending the weekend in a drunken haze never seems to be a bad idea
Might as well start thursday during the UL game
Can we have these next new years?http://youngprofessionalandbored.bl...ut-muffins.html
My family has been making those for holidays for years. If you want, I'll have my mom make up a batch. Its basically a muffin soaked in butter and rolled in sugar and cinnamon.We fondly call them "Crack Muffins," because you will kill to get another one.
Between the Big East games last night, I flipped over to the Tennis Channel and actually watched professional racquetball. It was ... interesting
Brent, I am going to India with two friends of mine. They were born there and i am going to visit with them. What are the plans for this weekend? I wanna get drunk!
so who makes great doughnuts?...anyone...

Hey Jerome, what is this I hear about your handbell choir injury? Seriously man, how old are you when you hurt yourself playing the handbells?
Just got back from the Health Clinic and received the following:Hep A ShotHep B ShotPolio ShotFlu ShotTetnus ShotTyphoid RXMalaria RXI still have to go back two more time to finish up the Hep shots.
Well the Flu shot was a waste.
Adrian - what about the asian bird flu? is there a shot for that?
The injury ... yes ... It probably happened at church, but not ringing bells.
You didn't try to stick a bell in your.....ah never mind.
You're really warm, Wes.
Gtown beat Nova 82-63 today. Gtown knocked down 17 or 28 three pointers.
I'd be intrigued to see the ratio of people who got the flue shot and still got the flu compared to those who went without the flu shot and got the flu.
I've never had one. Probably never will.
If I were single I'd never get the flu shot. But since Abby is workign in busy season during the winter months and we have a baby onw, I get it to help protect them. Honestly, I don't think it really matters because AJ goes to daycare and Abby...well she is around other people.
The decline happened when I started working for KSP, and I couldn't post during the day anymore. It seems when ever one of the top posters quit, it really kills the site. Like when Marc stopped posting...oh wait, that didn't really affect anything, did it?

Well I got this season's flu shot and I still got the flu. Apparently its only 40% effective this season so Ive heard.

When does UK play?
i thought this was cool. a break down of all american conflict since WWII done with food:http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfight/
joe does it really matter when uk plays? Its the sec tournament, who cares? i'd rather watch the A10 tourney...and i go to an sec school. the sec is horrible. glad to see douglas had his hate goggles on last night. you're right douglas, there's nothing impressive about going on a ten game win streak in the Big East (beating Georgetown, Pitt, nd, thumping Marquette twice)...its no SEC. This is what is so fun about the UK-UofL rivalry. The school year starts off with UK fans bragging about how tough their conference is in football (even if they're at the bottom of the pack) and how UofL couldn't play in a real conference...and then they have to eat it during basketball season because the SEC blows harder than Paris Hilton on a bender.
the air we breathe is polluted. in other news, UK fans hate on the cardinals.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080313...ty_air_counties
Barry - I don't think the SEC is that far down this year, I do think the SEC has suffered a lot of injuries across the league and as a result tha thas hurt them.UK plays at 9:45 tonight against Georgia who beat Ole Miss in OT last night. I'd much rather play UGA than Ole Miss, but either way we will probably lose Ramel or Joe from a hard Dave Bliss foul.
that far down relative to what? to previous years?...the SEC usually sucks. That's my point. Its normally a four team conference (UK, UT, UF, BAMA).relative to other conferences this year? surely you're not suggesting the SEC is comparable to the Big East, ACC, or PAC-10.
No I am not, that is absurd. Don't put words in my mouth.
i have to go to a meeting...will return to continue discussion in 2 hrs.
I probably won't be here, I am at work.
isn't stopping you now
Posting between getting things accomplished. I have meetings scheduled for second half of the day.This is what I will say about the SEC - it's a football conference, period. Not this past year, would UofL done anything great in the SEC, but with Petrino's last year they would have been mediocre in the SEC. They would have beat some teams and they would have lost to some teams. WHY IS THAT? I EQUATE THE BIG EAST BASKETBALL TO SEC IN FOOTBALL. I THINK THE SEC IS THE BEST FOOTBALL CONFERENCE AND I THINK THE BIG EAST IS THE BEST BASKETBALL CONFERENCE. YOU HAVE TO BRING IT EVERY SINGLE GAME AND WHEN YOU DON'T YOU GET BEAT. UK MIGHT BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SEC FOOTBALL SCHOOLS, BUT THEY STILL HAVE ENOUGH TALENT TO BEAT BETTER SEC TEAMS WHEN THEY DONT' BRING IT. There has only been one team to consistently stay atop the SEC in basketball. Teams will briefly rise and appear to be on the verge of being a consistent national contender, but then they will slip back into the pack. Florida found magic with a group of players and won two national titles. Prior to that they were much like the Alabama and Mississippi State squads of the last decade or so, competitive but not great. Nolan Richardson won a national title at Arkansas in '94 and returned to the title game in '95. What have the Hogs done since? Dale Brown's LSU team briefly flirted with national competitiveness a couple of times in his tenure. Where did they go?Lon Krueger's Florida squad in the mid-90's went to the Final Four, then into the dumpster. John Brady took LSU to the Final Four and then made a U-turn within a 12-month span.Getting to the top is easier than staying on top, and only one team gets the best out of every opponent season after season and that is UK. Other teams don't do so well when they wear the bullseye.I don't think it is a bad conference, just teams that aren't at the top seems to be a revolving door.
Oh and UK plays at 9:45 tonight. And Barry its not that UK fans are hating on Louisville, we are just die hard UK fans. My favorite teams are 1) UK and 2) Anybody UofL plays. Any die hard UofL fan will tell you their favorite teams are 1) UofL and 2) Anybody UK plays. If they claim to be die hard and don't give you as theif favorite teams then they aren't die hard fans for their schools. As a die hard you root for your team and against your rival every single time. If your school wins and your rival looses, then that is a great day.
*don't give you that as their favorite teams
Joe - I think normally you keep up with this stuff but is today steak and bj day?
Joe, I think its 9:45 tonight
Apparently it is. I always thought it was 6 months after V-day. I didn't hear anything about it from Bob and Tom this morning. That is bull shit that I forgot. The main thing about when UK plays is whether people will be watching the game, going out or will I have to put up with UK fans if I go out, or will drinking and watching UK be an evening activity.
Application for the Duke University Flopping Camp:http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sport...ma.AE_CKTZ02MPk
I saw that on deadspin or something like that yesterday. Cracked me up.
Wes, I'm sorry if I pissed you off. I was trying to get at douglas and you got in the crosshairs. I fail to see the distinction between cheering against a team and hating on them (especially when it includes denigrating that team's accomplishments).I agree SEC awesome in foosball, bad in b-ball. Big East awesome in basketball, bad in foosball. My point was simply that I spend the fall listening to UK fans putting down UofL's accomplishments due to their conference. it comes off as though those fans are saying UK football is better than UofL football because they play in a better conference despite UofL beating them 6 of the last 8 years (however many). So come basketball season, I enjoy throwing that argument back in their faces. I don't think UofL has been better than UK in basketball for the last couple of decades (because UK usually wins), but this year I'd take UofL. Its just irritating listening to guys like douglas hating and downplaying everything UofL does. You don't have to like UofL doing well, but you do have to recognize that they are doing well...or you can keep your head in the sand.
UL historically sucks at MSG.Compromising situation, how do you celebrate steak and BJ day on a Friday during Lent? Fish and BJ day just doesn't cut it.
in case nobody saw, the UK game tonight is at 9:45, and i do want to do something. as for sec vs. big east, never said the the sec was better in bball than big east, not once, not going to say it now. i will say the sec has had i think the most teams in the final four though the last several yrs, i don't feel like looking it up. the sec is not nearly as terrible a conference as you're making it out to be. UT and vandy have been ranked all year, UT in the top 3 most of the year. it's not nearly as bad a conference this year as people thought it would be either. Florida was hot earlier this year but dropped off, and i think their two losses in a row to UK and Alabama put the nail in the coffin for their season, which brings me a wondrous amount of joy to see them lose, but i still wish they would make the tournament. even in their 'down' year, they'll still probably have six or so teams at least make the tournament, i think the last couple years they've had the most teams in the tournament too. the sec is different than most conferences, with the exception of the big east, where they're more complete from top to bottom. their top five may not always match up with other conferences' top fives, but in their entirety match up with any other conference. i was just gloating about UL more than anything, wasn't saying anything bad about the big east, i do think UL is overrated though. they won't make the final four, and pitino's first seven yrs w/ UL will officially be no comparison to his seven at UK. quite frankly, i think i hate pitino more than UL, kinda like i hated petrino more than the football team. for example, i like kragthorpe a lot, and i wasn't rooting against UL football this year. they were much classier than under petrino. can't really say that about pitino and basketball UL. the quality of people he recruited at UK is unquestionably so far superior to what he's brought to UL it's not even funny. well actually it is kinda funny as a UK fan, but that's neither here nor there. sorry for the late response, i was in an interview
phil, what do you know about ipop.com?
I have no beef with UK and i wouldn't cheer against them except I love drinking the tears of a UK fan after a loss. Can you do me a favor and bottle yours up when you lose the next game?
ipop looks pretty solid. In terms of their hosting, it looks like they are in the data center across the street from us.
i just interviewed there, their data center's downtown at peak 10, i think they're somewhat of a competitor of yours, but i'm not sure what you guys specialize in or if you do something different, but ipop wants to go more regional, hence why i interviewed there. it seems like a solid company, but didn't know if you might know something i don't
Barry no biggie and you didn't piss me off for the record. My caps button got locked and I didn't want to retype if all in lowercase font.
I'll be out at my parents house tonight...I think this is Abby's last bad week for work so I should be able to hang out here and there again.
as for UK's next loss, whenever that will be, i have no grandeur illusions of UK going to the final four, we are extremely depleted. i will say i'm more proud of this team than any team in recent memory, BG has performed nothing short of a miracle, and he will be hanging banners there very soon. yeah he lost to gardner webb and san diego, but san diego won their conference tournament by beating a top 20 gonzaga team, so that loss ain't too bad anymore, and the team at the beginning of the season is a far cry from what they are now. this was supposed to be UL's year though, and pitino said as much until they started losing, when he changed his tune dramatically. they've bounced back, and won 9 in a row or something, and they've finished strong, i'll give 'em that, but they're no championship team
I agree that Gillispie will bring us back to the top on a national level, the only question is when. I use to think it would take two or three years...but from what I am hearing it might be as soon as next year.
Tennessee should have lost. They just beat the Cocks by 2. Lofton hit a 3 with 11 secs. left.
Yeah and apparently Tyler Smith pushed a USC player out of the way with 1.1 seconds left who would have had an easy offensive rebound and put back. I really dont' like it when refs don't make the damn calls at the end of the game. They get paid to officiate a game, make the calls and collect the check, then live with the criticism.
caught it in the breakroom, exactly what happened
so what's goin on tonight? i'm going to a fish fry in like an hour w/ sarah, but i want to do something tonight
I'm in town Saturday night. I hope you guys are still doing your "Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Friday-Monday", because I really need to get out.
What really sucks is UK never played last night. They moved the SEC tourney from the Georgia Dome to some small ass stadium that holds about 9K people. Also, the remainder of the SEC tourney will start there due to the tornado that came through downtown GA yesterday.In case you guys didn't see it, the Bama-MSU game went into OT and with 2:21 left the had to walk off the court due to sever weather damaging the dome. They played the final minutes and apparently rescheduled the UK game for today at noon. Of course, what really sucks..is if UK wins we probably have to play 7 hours later.
Lets roll bitches and get this drink on!
What are the plans?
Osheas!
horseshit no call
Douglas - that all goes back to my thing about hating it when refs don't make the calls at the end of the game. But shit happens.I didn't have a good feeling about this Georgia game. Shit, surprised it went into OT considering Bradley was 3-16 at one point from the field. The guys looked really out of sync and if we don't value the ball every possession we will be a first round exit from the NCAA tourney.
if you guys go out give me a call tonight. I might be able to get out.
i'm not going out tonight, i'm hanging with the little one
Anybody doing anything?
i was at a st.patty's day parade and am now home to work.

Where are people drinking?
How I Met Your Mother and the Big Bang Theory return tonight. So...you know, while you all are out drinking, I'll be watching tv. Cause I'm Awesome!
here is some interesting music for you guys. it's a band of f-16 pilots called dos gringos. they have some funny stuff. maybe you shouldn't listen at work however.(unless your boss is ok with you listening to songs called "My wife's vibrator" and "Heat loves the cock"). pretty heavy on the profanity note: some songs are a bit outdated and now very inaccurate ("i dropped the bomb that killed saddam" for example). The band broke up, but i just found out about them via my brother and yes I'm posting this to get away from analyzing data for a little while. a sample with a fan video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH-I...feature=relatedtheir websitehttp://www.dosgringosrocks.com/.html

Hey Wes, after I got off the phone with you last night I went and spewed.
st patricks day good. hangover baaaaaaad.
Joe - from drinking or do you have the flu?
From being sick, not from drinking
lots of people at work have had the stomach flu. I'm trying desperately to avoid it.
Ouch, yeah that is a good reason for not coming out.
jay - i too did nothing but watch TV to celebrate my st. patty's day. how i met your mother was good until they ruined it at the end and made him feel all guilty for trying to pork a married woman. not sure what the very end was about when he went back to the bar, but oh well.
next time we go out drinking we should try this:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,338900,00.html

Coach Gillispie was on the Jim Rome show, here is a paraphrase of what Gillispie told him.Basically just told Jim Rome that he didn't appreciate him saying that UK losing to Gardner Webb was unacceptable and that UK will not accept that kind of performance and Billy G told him that we have had a tough season as far as injuries and once he gets the roster complete it will be a whole different story.Rome also said earlier this year that he needed to handle his players better and Billy G told him that he didn't appreciate that comment as wellRome said that he respected BCG for telling him that he disagreed and that he would always be welcome on his show.Damn I am glad, coaches need to tell some of these guys to shut up.

I'm stuck at work and my wicked disabled veteran team of 3 people is down to just me. One is on vacation and one has a sick child. The fate of seriously disabled veterans in the state of kentucky is on my shoulders today on the opening day of the NCAA tournament.
I'm almost positive that the NCAA tournament is a valid religious holiday in three of the major sects. The book of Numbers in the Torah describes the origins of bracketology, the Koran is the basis for the holiness of selection Sunday and Paul's letters offer up profiles of the typical mid-majors that will pull off the big upsets.Services will be held today in several area locations such as Buffalo Wild Wings Mosque, the Temple of Wick's, and Our Lady of Perpetual Hooters.

Today, a sheriff's deputy came in who is responsible for the security of local schools. Apparently there are a lot of 10 year old punks. He said he wasn't going to let a kid beat his ass, so he would use force if he had to. He wanted them to let him use a taser, because, and I quote, "If they don't do what I say, it's disobedience, and clack, you ride the lightning." It made me laugh, but the civil libertarian in me died a little.
And for the record, I'm not saying he shouldn't be able to use a taser if the situation calls for it. He just seemed really eager to tase some kids.
Maybe he is just trying to get the little punks to change their ways before they are strapped to the chair. He wanted to give them a small simulation of what that would be like.Don't tase me bro.
huh, no announcers on the Georgia vs Xavier game on the stream.I hope they don't fix it

wes, answer your phone fuckerGA is outplaying xavier, they're up 6 early, doing basically whatever they want so far. looks like it could be a "great win against xavier" for georgia
GA up 9 at the half
I am trying to listen to it on 93.9 but my boss keeps calling me since I am his personal bitch
ga winning would screw my brackets up a little
not mine, what they did in the tournament was damn near miraculous
Just got round # 2 of Hep shots.
One of my policies for picking games: if it takes a miracle for a team to get into the tournament, don't expect a second one to get them a win once they get there. Especially when going against a religious school whose members are called "Foot soldiers of the Pope".My other policy is to set up elaborate scenarios where Vandy meets Stanford for the battle of the nerds in the finals.
I have Xaiver in the Final 4 upsetting Duke along the way. So yeah, it would screw me up as well.
Douglas - you haven't called my phone.
The 8 minute drought we decided not to score in the first half kind of hurt.
they're doing alright, uk should be down by more than 4. if they can pump up the offense, they'll be alright. wes, i called your phone but it was turned off, i left a message
Douglas - what time did you call because i have it charging and on right now?I sent you my cell # to your bellarmine account.
Crawford and McNeal both played great games for UK and Marquette today. I think Joe had 35 and McNeal chipped in 20+ for Marquette.Marquette hit the boards hard and I think they had something like 15 offensive rebounds. UK's inability to keep Marquette off the offensive boards really hurt, too many 2nd chance points for them.Also, UK's turnovers in key situations killed us.
Or the Big East just dominates the SEC
i had xavier beating purdue and then losing to duke.
This year in basketball, yes, the Big Least would dominate the SEC.I am very optimistic about the future of UK basketball.
Can anyone tell me why there's only one basketball game on right now, on the first day of the tournament? WTF?
And that was a rhetorical question.
shitty ending to the UK game, i'd rather just get blown out, they kept giving me fuckin' hope there at the end, only to have it ripped away from me moments later. i must've said "damn it, that's the game" at least 8 times, and every time i did, UK dropped a three or something to get back in it. well, except for the last time i said, that time sucked
Douglas - the real question is did you bottle up your tears for Barry?
i'll bottle up another form of liquid that comes out of my body for him....in other, much brighter news, duke is only beating belmont by 3 with 4 min. to go...
fuckin' duke, goddamn it
douglas, don't bottle that stuff up. there are still plenty of potential baby-mamas out there that need your man chowder. Too far?For the record, it was nice to see Crawford finish with a strong game and I was cheering for them.
Douglas... you have defined what being a UC fan was this year..."Damn it, that's the game" and then Vaughn hits 3 threes in a row, but then they still manage to lose even with the guy playing like Jordan every freakin' night. Deonta Vaughn will be an All-American his senior year, I'll throw money on that.No one cares, but since I'm an indentured servant, I have to rant about something.Go Drake!
bo kimble to coach loyola marymount?http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp...,6699562.column
I'm an idiot. I filled out a bracket, but didn't bother to enter it into the office pool. And I picked every single winner today. Damn it!
my fun bracket is doing better than my "chalk" bracket...damn you michael beasley and texas a&m
Do you think Bo Kimble will coach left handed to honor Hank Gathers?
Barry - Joe and Ramel both made us UK fans proud yesterday. No we didn't win but Joe and Ramel both went out with blazing guns. They carried the team when they had to and along the way they realized what it meant to play for UK. The passion and fire is back that Tubby killed his last two years, I for one am very optimistic about the future. If Jodie comes back healthy next year, that will be a huge help, but we need to land Scotty Hopson, or another scorer that can come in next year and help replace Joe's points.Here is a quote from Joe Crawford on Billy Gillispie.“He’s done more for me than a lot of people in my life,” Crawford said. “He changed the outlook everyone had on me. He changed me as a person. He got me believing. He’s done so much for me and I love him for that. I don’t know how I could repay him, ever.”
that's a strong ass statement. and yes, barry, my manjuice has yet to be fully distributed among potential baby mamas throughout the region, assuming there's not any other little Douglas' out there
Jen, Adrian, and Joe-The downtowner is open again (or will be soon). Tiffany, make sure to tell that to Marc.
is the wooden indian back???
UL vs Boise St. tonight. Does anyone have plans as of yet? If not, we can congregate at my house.
i'm down
hilltoppers on a last second 3
everyone is out "sick" today. it's too quiet at my office.
4:00, can't leave for a half hour and the computer software is all down. Brilliant.
I bet Chip is pretty pumped about his school ruining my Drake-Final Four bracket.
so how bout san diego?
Or Siena!
Opening Day for the Bats...Friday, April 11th. First Thirsty Thursday, April 17th. Who's ready?
Nevermind, I just checked the promotions for Opening Day, and the Bats are awesome! The first Thirsty Thursday has been changed to Opening Day, so I guess it's Thirsty Friday. If it's cold enough, we don't even have to worry about our beers getting cold.
go big east
or Bob Huggins!
yeah i was cheering for WVU today, that is how much I hate Puke!
That's right America.... I'm waiting for you!http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?...p;article=53519
the sun always shines a little brighter when duke loses. no team will ever fuel as much hatred within my soul as they do
any UK fan will tell you it's a better day when Duke loses than a UofL loss
happy easter y'all!
You too, Jen.
No doubt Douglas.
Picture of Ray Park as Snake Eyeshttp://movies.ign.com/articles/861/861338p1.html

did everybody die?
Ya, mon.
just got out of a meeting. one of my professors just met with Exxon and he was told that they expect gas prices to level off in 1.5 to 2 yrs...at $6.00/gallon.
Doesn't really surprise me. They are talking $4+ a gallon this summer. There is only a finite amount of oil and it is becoming more costly to process. Of course, Big Oil will still be making money.
NOt to mention supply and demand with Asia coming on board.
Hold onto your seats folks...http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/science...DkaO1YmoCkDW7oF
the only way oil prices will go down is if we drill here in the US, which will never happen b/c of environmental wackos
Caribou might have to get use to seeing oil rigs.
just when I think things can't get any worse, I get a summons for jury duty. I swear to God. this pretty much blows.
I've done it before, it's not that bad Jen.
it's just annoying.
Yes, environmental wackos that want to make sure we have enough resources for future generations. What a bunch of crazy bastards.
Jen - what else is so bad about the day?
Fuck future generations. Let them deal with the shit when they have too. they can develop some alternative fuel source to save the world. Of course with the the big motor companies and big oil conspiring to keep that from happening it may never come to be.
I bet they pay people to lobby against that shit in Congress.
I bet they can make a car that runs on water, but the man is keeping it down.
Water is a terrible form of fuel. Due to the 3rd law of thermodynamics, you will not get as much energy from it as you put into it. However, they have developed a way to use sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Basically, we need to go solar and hydrogen for lasting fuel.And so you don't think I'm talking out of my asshttp://www.smh.com.au/news/environm...4153066798.html
Sorry for the upcoming post, couldn't leave it alone. Douglas, Jay, and anyone else interested:We do drill in the US. 5 million barrels a day http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/p...dc_mbblpd_a.htmEspecially along the Gulf Coast. Come down here and I’ll take you out to the some of the nearly four thousand Gulf Coast platforms (see the figure on page 2 of the text). http://www.enrg.lsu.edu/publication...forecasting.pdf I assume you are talking about ANWR. Mean estimated amount of oil available in ANWR = 10.4 billion barrels total. http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-0028-01/fs-0028-01.htm Estimated US consumption of petroleum (not the same as crude oil) =20 million barrels/day. 42 gallons of petrol in a barrel of petrol. 1 barrel of crude =19 gallons of petroleum. http://www.espa.net/index.mv?screen=petroleumStory(10.4 billion barrels of crude) X (19 gallons of petrol/barrel ) / (42 gallons petrol /barrel petrol)= 4.7 billion barrels of petrol in ANWR4.7 billion barrels / (20 million barrels/day) = 235 daysIf we were solely dependent on ANWR it would last about eight months. Obviously, those advocating ANWR drilling want to use it as a supplement, not be solely dependent on it. How long the resources would last would depend on how they are rationed, but it would also need to be cost effective. So maybe ANWR can last 5 yrs (I’m just guessing here, no data), but that’s about it. There’s no way Hydrogen fuel cells will be mainstream in 5 yrs. Drilling in ANWR is a band-aid, not a cure. We still need foreign oil and Middle Eastern countries have us by the short and curlies. By drilling, the legal precedent would be set that any nature preserve could be lost if only we really, really needed the resources in it. That’s a precedent many, including myself, are uncomfortable with as populations increase and resources remain finite. More needs to be invested in alternate energy sources. And yes, I’m sure there are many oil corporations with politicians in their pockets…they’re all whores selling to the highest bidder.
there is, nor will there be, any feasible form of alternative energy in the foreseeable future, no matter how much money is put into it. there's plenty on hand in reserves now to last quite a while, there's more in reserves now than the US has ever had, the price on it just isn't going down b/c you don't want to live off your reserves. it consumes more energy to produce an electric car than the benefits they provide, so all those celebrities and self righteous asses driving hybrids aren't saving shit. the only thing to alleviate the oil problem is to go nuclear, i.e. france and most of europe, but once again environmental wackos won't allow it for fear of another chernobyl, which won't happen b/c technology is much much better now than it was then. as an aside, most of the US oil comes from canada and mexico, so all those dumbasses saying we're in iraq b/c of oil don't know what they're talking about
AMERICA!!!! Fuck YEAH!
Once gas hits $6 gallon, maybe we will realistically look for alternative fuels and the towel heads can go and pound some sand.The US Airforce is also looking at ways to turn clean burning coal into a fuel source, that could be a huge boost for the state of Kentucky as we are in the top 3 states for coal mining.
The real assholes are the Chinese. Those fuckers had to shed their caveman lifestyles and start supplying the world with goods thus driving their economy upwards. Now they consume oil and pollute the fucking environment, mind you still not more than the US but that is our damn god giving right, i.e. manifest destiny.If you guys think things are bad now, wait till Africa starts industrializing.
Actually, I don't even care if it is alternative fuel, how about an alternative route of producing the same good, i.e. synthetic pathways.
Flex fuels is a good start, like the E85 which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Does that rid us of the need for foreign oil? No, but it is a start for reducing the US to consume less oil. The downside to E85 is that it is less efficient than a gallon of gasoline when you combust it in your car's engine, resulting in less miles per gallon over standard gasoline.Other ways would be for people to actually drive the speedlimit, or for better public transportation services.
better public transportation is well and good, and a wonderful theory, but how many people actually use it. louisville's talking about building a light rail, has been for years, but it's not a good idea. people are too independent to give up their cars, and the same people touting that idea are the same ones that drive into downtown everyday from their east end homes and won't give up their benz for a cab or a train. i think they did it in seattle, and it didn't improve congestion or the use of cars one bit.
Wait till gas is $6 a gallon, people will have to make a decision. Do I spend ($6 x 15gallon tank) $90 to fill up my car each week, totalling $360 monthly for gas alone, + parking (if that applies) or do I spend $50 monthly for a light rail pass?The problem with the US is we are too spread out, so the school of though are cars are needed to get around. If you create a light rail system, that is on time, has security, and accessible to all major parts of the city people will use it.Personally, I won't because I work down in the ghetto (15th and Oak). There are a whole lot of shady people out here and I won't be catching the rail system at night alone.
plus, if you have to use your car for work like I do, you don't get to choose. But, the little Saturn gets pretty good gas mileage and I spend about 15 bucks a week in gas... for now.
Very true, but I suspect the # of people that do not require their cars at work outnumber the ones that do.
there's already a tarc that nobody takes advantage of that goes around the whole city, and how many people use that? there are very few joe burkets in the city

any thoughts on britney spears last nite?
Pretty much the perfect role for her that required little to no acting, because she is already a slut.
i just thought it was funny how they had her behind a desk pretty much the whole episode b/c she's put on so much weight
The problem with E85 is that is uses up grains that would otherwise be used for food (or land for other types of grains). It actually costs a hell of a lot more to mass produce ethanol than gasoline.
another result of the gov't trying to produce ethanol or other alternative energies, as jay stated b/c it costs a lot more, is that food prices have begun to increase just as much as gas, and is projected to continue that way, it just doesn't get press
Yes you guys are correct, however, would you rather pay people in your own country to produce grains and keep that money here or would you rather send that money to some camel jockey?That is the real question.
Wow! I go away for awhile and Nattysci.com gets all intellectual. All I know is I fill up my tank for $75 and I watched gasoline and diesel being distributed for free in Iraq in vast quantities.
Wes, as someone pointed out, we only get about 17% of our imports from the middle east. Most comes from Russia, Canada, and Venezuela. Plus whatever is drilled here.
Oil Importers: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/p..._im0_mbbl_m.htmWith the exception of the Saudis, we really don't get that much oil from the middle east...
Yeah, I keep calling them Camel Jockey's because OPEC (The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) members are Algeria, Angola, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Ecuador. When you look at that list, it should be pretty apparent that over 1/2 are Middle Eastern...so they call get lumped into being called Camel Jockeys.
And that is a good point, that we only use 17% from the Middle Eastern producing countries. But the thing to remember is they make up over 1/2 of OPEC. What do you think would happen if that number dropped to 0%?It would start an oil crisis (keep in mind that oil is used for other things than just gasoline) and our economy would cripple. So now OPEC just brought the US to its' knees by not supplying the US with oil. What do you think would happen then?
Now back to something we know more about.We need to try all of these.http://men.msn.com/articlees.aspx?c...9>1=32001
hey I'm trying to come up with some generic sideline reporter questions that are always getting asked. What are some of the common ones?So far I got:"How do you feel about your performance so far""What is it gonna take to get back into this game""What kind of adjustments are you going to make"
hey joe, do you know when football starts?
I believe it is the week of the 31st, so next week. I need to show up on Sunday to see if I made the rooster.
So how long do you guys think it will take for the trails to dry up? Today would be a nice day to get out and ride except for all the mud.
Sideline reporter questions vary from game relevant issues to off-the-field stuff. A lot of times, they're talking to starters who have been injured, former players who get honored in pre-game or halftime, or maybe the owner. Like these:"Coach, what can you tell us about XXXX's injury?""Tell me how it's been having to sit here and watch in street clothes while your teammates are out there battling.""What does it mean to you having your family out here in these stands today?"How much longer until we see you out on the field again?""How does the latest statement from the league office affect your team?""Do I look fat in this blouse?"
The trails aren't too bad right now. Joe and I went on Saturday and for the most part the trails were about the consistancy that I'd like to see, mostly dry but a little give to the ground. By no means was it the dust bowl with concrete trails we'll have in the summer, though. There were a few spots that were absolutely horrible, too, and pretty hard to ride through. Given that last point, and the fact that there have been quite a few peolpe on the trails, the trails will have all sorts of ruts once they dry out.
I've got umpiring today and tomorrow, I'll ride friday or the weekend
Hey, if they're too sloppy, you can always take the other route
I hate it when I turn into a trail and have to turn around and stay on the road because it is too sloppy.Like we were saying the last time we road, a little muddy is better then dry and dusty.

got the kiddo tonight...on another note, something I've neglected to mention, but tomorrow night is WRESTLEMANIA!!!!!!!who's down, anyone want to get it? if i get it anyone want to come over? we can't miss the biggest pay per view of the year...
is that the floyd mayweather - big show thing?
yeah, that's one of the matches, there's a triple threat w/ triple h, orton, and cena. edge and undertaker, where the 'taker puts up the undefeated record in wrestlemania. flair and shawn michaels, where flair's next loss means he gets fired by mcmahon. there's some trashy diva match that's just an excuse to show hot bitches in next to nothing wrestling
this works much better:http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/i forgot about the ladder match, if anyone remembers last year when the midget got dropped from a 10 foot ladder, and edge just about broke his back when jeff hardy dropped like 15 or 20 feet on top of him while he was laying on a ladder, those are always classic....
and snoop dogg's emceeing the playboy bunny lumberjack match.....there's always the possibility for an unintentional nip slip...
I almost died today in a car wreck. I was on the watterson around Brownsboro and a car in front of me randomly lost control and ran off the road and into the grassy median, spun around and came back into the lane and missed drilling my truck by a couple feet. Scared the piss out of me. I don't like going from 65 to 10 mph with an out of control car flying at you. I have no clue how that car didn't hit a single other vehicle.
God damn, Joe. That sucks! Don't scare me like that.

first, it's gotta suck to know god probably wants you dead. either that, or your purpose in life is to become mayor of st. matthews, and these 'random' occurrences are merely tests of your strengths, abilities, and wits
second, since none of you manned up and wanted to watch the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment, and i'm not gay enough to drop 40 bucks to watch wrestling by myself for three hours, the results of wrestlemania are on wwe.com. batista beat umaga, flair's career is done, orton is still champ, and i guess undertaker's match is the last one b/c they haven't posted results yet

he did, edge was undefeated at wrestlemania too, that was how they promoted the match, streak vs. streak, but 'taker won and he's champ again

Oh and if anyone is looking for an awesome car, I suggest you buy the 2009 Nissan GT-R (formerly known on as Skyline). Of course it will cost you in the low $70ks, however, it goes 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, which is faster than $200K sports cars. Not sure what the top speed is or 1/4 mile speed.

Kentucky and Louisville will open the 2008 football season on Aug. 31 at 3:30 p.m. at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.The game was originally scheduled for Aug. 30, but was moved so it could be televised by ESPN.This will be the 11th time in the last 15 years that the UK-Louisville game has been on live national or regional television, including the last seven seasons on an ESPN affiliate. This will also be the sixth time in the last seven years that the game has been played on a Sunday.The 2007 game won by Kentucky was the highest-rated program in the history of ESPN Classic.Louisville favored playing on Monday, Sept. 1, but Kentucky did not want to lose two days of preparation for its second game on Sept. 6.Tennessee and UCLA will play in that time slot on Sept. 1 on ESPN.

Here is an IGN article listing the top ten most overrated SNES games. It includes some of my favorites, including Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3 (VI in Japan) and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. WTF?http://retro.ign.com/articles/863/863612p1.htmlI about punched the monitor. If they keep that kind of crap like that, I may just boycott the website.
I just realized that that list could have been an april fools joke. Maybe. I just watched the Zelda trailer, and I have to say, that is the most elaborate prank I have ever seen.
A Zelda movie would be fantastic, but not that zelda movie. I mean I would watch it and all, but it did not look very good.
The special effects made it look like it was produced for the Sci Fi channel. So, yeah, it was crappy.

Hypothectical situation:you're a chick and you've been married 3 years to a guy that drinks a lot. He makes an ass out of himself and you in front of his family while being verbally abusive to you. you confront him about his drinking. He says..."it is like marrying a stripper, you want her to quit stripping but she will always be a stripper."What do you do?
don't marry a stripper. or, in her case, don't marry a guy with a big drinking problem. you can't fix people. if you don't like being married to a drunken idiot worse than you don't like being alone, then leave. if you're willing to live like a country music song for the rest of your life, then stay. On the outside, it's easy to say I'd leave. even if he could change, clearly, he doesn't want to.

nope. It is a chick at work.Trails were awesome today. Not too sloppy.
Hey now, that was uncalled for, I'm not verbally abusive. Well, at least not to my wife.Like Joe and I were talking before, that statement he made makes no sense in that context. The way he said it makes it sound like he can quit drinking, but he'll always be an alcoholic. I'm sure he meant that she can't change him, and he'll always be a drunk. Fucking retard.
The trails were awesome, and we found a new route to use. It would have been awesome if we hadn't ridden it ass backwards. The only problem is one spot that you might die if you take it wrong.

hey Marc, can we meet at Flanagans a earlier than 7 so I don't have to go home first?
I'll die.
Hey Jen, I relayed the message to Marc he cant check natty sci at school.
ahh, thanks.

hey, you gotta hand it to him, initiating the conversation is half the battle.
Joe - I don't know who you are talking about but if it is somebody that we know, I say either Paul (in St. Louis) or Mr. Platt (our idol). If it is Paul, all Becky has to do is look at Sal that should tell you how Paul is going to be.If Mrs. Platt, why the hell would she intervene now, he has a good few years under his belt in the alcohol dept. so I don't think he is gonna change.If it isn't anybody we know, sorry for throwing them under the bus.
i thought joe said it was his coworker he was talking about.btw, the deadspin comments on the Penn State Spunk-Shooting Guard is comedy gold:http://deadspin.com/375526/stanley-...ingle-jackin-it
It is a coworker crating lots of drama that is annoying
she should suck it up, no pun intended

The Butter's song is awesome....I said what what, in da butt.Be gentle, I'm delicate like a flower. I said what what, in da butt.
i didn't realize the what what song was for real until i saw phil's post, it amazes me how proud gay people are. it was funny when butters did it, pretty fucking sick when some dude does it for real
Don't be hating on Marc Douglas.

I think I just reached a new low. We were discussing character of discharge in the office. One girl said a dishonorable discharge sounds like a really bad thing. I thought she was being funny and saying it had a double entundre (sp?). I ran with that. It went on to a one night stand, bitch needing a rag, the tuscan mule and so on and so on. She didn't mean that at all. Whoops.
Ah the good ole Tuscan Mule. Haven't heard that in a while.
someone was talking about the tuscan mule here at work today. I think it was Dominic
I thought Damon for Maine was a fair enough trade. Jerk

Is anyone not goingto be lame this Derby? Sevendust and Saliva are playing Derby Eve at the Hill. Speaking of the Hill, Tantric is playing there again in May.
Dude, I was scrolling through some other concerts coming to the 'Ville,and guess who's coming...George Clinton and Parliment. On a little more serious note, I would like to go see Clutch when they play at Headliners in May.
I received my Megadeth tickets at the Gardens today! CRUSH 'EM!
P-Funk is awesome.
i'd be down for sevendust and saliva...
morris day and the mother fucking time is coming too
I would most certainly go to see George Clinton. I'd go see sevendust, be we all know what happened last time.
Did someone say "Morris Day and the Time"?Jesse! Uh! Now Jerome!
Now we can finally get that gun :(http://stars.ign.com/articles/864/864797p1.html
fuck you earl clark. Why the fuck is he leaving?
Team name for this week. something relating to Charleston Heston and his "cold dead hands"? or is that in bad taste and too soon? never stopped us before.
by the time you have trivia the initial grieving period will be over. all's fair in love and trivia names
did earl clark say he was signing an agent, last i heard he hadn't done so, so he might come back
Something random I was thinking of this weekend, as many times as we have yelled "kiss her" at two girls, has it ever worked?
i can't say that it has
E5 hasn't signed with an agent, yet. He has been told that he is a clear cut first rounder by an NBA executive, and if he has strong work outs he could be a lottery pick this year.He has a ton of upside, and if I was an NBA team with a lottery pick, you have to look at him because he is just now filling out his body and at 6'9" he is very versatile with a very good skill set.
Jared Carter is the future of the NBA. Everyone at work laughed at me when i said Memphis was going win the tournament. I love hearing the guy adjacent to me crying how his backet is messed up.
Long and athletic with tremendous upside potential
i sent the guys at speedgoat some photos of cheeroke park from last week and they recommended that I upgrade my frame: http://www.klindustries.com/product...Sun_Dolphin%205I walked around on the golf course trail and it was still pretty muddy in spots yesterday. Hopefully the sun will dry it out a bit.
I'll ride today if anyone wants to. I think Chris is on call.
Hey joe, I got hockey today but sometime this week I definitely got to get out.You ever find out if you are playing football?
I'm off the team I guess.Chris and I will definitely be riding some this week.
if we are short some people I'll let our captain now you'd be up for playing and that you are looking for some revenge over your ex-team
I need to get out and ride, Abby said I could ride today since she wont' be going to NJ till Wednesday. She is sick though, maybe I should wait till she goes to the immediate care center before I commit to anything.
Marc and Big J, your presence has been requested at Karaoke by Shannon and Dominic (it's japanese for empty orchestra) on Thursday. They are probably going to hit up Cafe Mimosa and then head up to Akikos.
It sounds like rain on wed, thurs, fri. Anyone want to ride tomorrow?
So my trip to the doctor today was a total waste of time. I've been getting dizzy spells since Friday, so I go to the doc and he says I've got vertigo, which seems obvious, but then the side effects of the medicine he prescribes "may cause dizziness or drowsiness". I give up.

Cool article on where Calipari found the Memphis offense:http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...12/memphis0218/
Joe - when are you guys riding?
Probably tomorrow, chris and I will ride. I'm probably do something today. weather doesn't look optimistic the rest of the week.
On the way back from Cincinnati, Jessie and I stopped by KFC in Carolton and bought 10 chicken littles. Those fuckers are delicious. Also, the Bodies exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum is cool as fuck
Adrian-Sheep went to that exhibit. He said it was pretty bad ass. Phil-for Shannon and Dominic, I might be willing to make the trip into the Ville on thursday. God knows I need to get out a hell of a lot more.

Would it be considered common office etiquette to take your cell phone and go somewhere else if you are going to talk on the phone to your doctor's office about your period and your birth control? I mean seriously, come on.
u mean you don't want to hear about blood gushing from your coworker's vagina? is she hot?
I'm not going to respond to thatWho is riding today? Chris said he will, he has clinic so he isn't sure when he will be done. Do we just want to say meet at Chris' at 5:30-6:00 unless we hear otherwise? I'll talk to him later.
ESPN radio on the Memphis players tattoos:"not all tattoos are created the same, some of them have meaning. It's not like Douglas Roberts got drunk and got a tasmanian devil on his arm."
Joe - I might make it out today, not sure just yet.
i'm grabbing my stuff right now so I'm gonna try to head right to chris' from work
I called Chris and left him a message. I'll let you know something when I hear from him.
all this assumes I can get my tires back on my bike
I haven't slept in two days!!! I have successfully completed 2 grants in 2 weeks. I'm going to go drink all this knowledge away.
I haven't heard from Chris yet so I don't know what the plan is. Let me know something.
i can just meet you at your place

I was setting someone up for that. I knew you wouldn't let me down!
if the rain holds up, anyone up for riding today? I don't think it will be too sloppy.

The librarian set him up with all the Tribal mating ritual books with all the good pages tabbed.

This place is dead. Anyone up for a ride today, road or trail. It looks like a 20-30% chance of rain throughout the day. Anybody doing anything this evening, a beer sounds good right now.Chris or Joanna, how was the paper, rock, scissor championships?
my taint is all sore from last night. it needs a day to recover
A beer does sound good right now.
19 more days until GTA IV. Here's the history of the series:http://retro.ign.com/articles/863/863037p1.html
I am guessing riding put a hurt on you Philco?
The first plane for thunder just made its practice run....WE'RE GOING BALLISTIC MAVERICK!!!!That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.
This conference call is boring. We are talking about legislature on capitol hill on special adaptive housing for amputees.All I can do is sing the song about I'm just a bill, on capitol hill. What is that from?
Is it school house rock?
i believe so
it is, if you have speakers, the song should automatically playhttp://www.school-house-rock.com/Bill.html
Rock paper scissors was AWESOME. They raffled off some nice stuff (sports chair, portable cooler, snack center thingy). Kyle won the first round and should have won the second, but the woman he played cheated. She threw really slow, so it was almost like she was trying to see what he was throwing.
RPS is very competitive, they need to create a divider so people can' tcheat.
I'll be in town this weekend. Are we planning on doing anything for Thunder (not going, just like a cookout or something?)
I'm down depending on the weather for a cookout
Really, I just want to hang out. My social life of late is pretty terrible.
I think Chris said he was down
Cuban will be I don't think he has to study
Less than 24 hours until the home opener for the Bats. MMMMMMM....Beer good.
So I was looking at the bats rooster...who the fuck are these guys anyway? I mean seriously, since Joey votto and Jeff Keppinger are with the Reds, they don't have much of anything left. Well, we may get to see Homer Bailey pitch every now and then, and former Yankee great Andy Phillips is back in the minors.
It gets even better. The Bats are playing Pawtuckett (farm team for the BoSox), so that means I get to heckle some fucking Beantowners. And, they have that fatass Bartolo Colon on a DL stent (5'11", 245) along with the geriatric Mike Timlin (turned 42 last month).
saturday we can do drunk stupid night with going out or not.
I think Cuban, chris and I plan to get drunk tomorrow.
i'm supposed to take sarah out tomorrow night, but after i'm down for something. if you all have a cookout for thunder on saturday, i can bring kaelyn and have her sing free bird again
i feel you on the shitty social life jay
I am down for the cookout!
cookout saturday pending weather, drinking either way
Sweet!
tonight give chris or me a call if anybody wants to do anything
I just realized I am the office bitch. I am getting doughnuts out of it though.
MOO!
so i was watching the news and there was a story about dog thefts. Douglas, Would you know anything about this? Does this have anything to do with your sick animal fetish?
yeah....i mean no, no, not me...do cops read this site?
they probably do now.

Abby and I actually have a free night Saturday night. My mom and dad are watching AJ and he is staying the night. So, hopefully Abby and I actually do something other than eat and go to bed at 8:30. Oh, and if anybody ever comes over again (usually only Chris and Joanna) the house will be clean. Abby and I hired a maid, best idea ever.
Meth is a horrible drug, it really destroys your teeth.
and face. and life, pretty much. I say, if you're going to do drugs, at least do a classy one.
yeah, the classy drugs, there's lots of those to choose from
like crack
you have to admit, it's classier than meth.
I prefer booze.
mmm booze. I wish it was 5:00 already. I'm thirsty.
yeah, i guess meth is kinda rednecky

So speaking of drugs, well, not drugs, but things that mess with your mind... I'm probably opening the door for lots of commentary, but I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamed that Douglas and BMac lived in the back bar at O'Sheas.
but then douglas did something to get kicked out, and we all had to come help them move out in the middle of the night. probably one of my top ten most random dreams ever.
i enjoy being the man of your dreams
it's weird i'd do something to get kicked out
Yeah definately not the Douglas I know.
if that ain't the pot calling the kettle...
Um...I'm kind of a cop. I'm not sure how close they watch me.
Tonight is on for a cookout if anybody is interested. Just give Cuban or me a call. Chris and Joanna might bring a fire pit we can put in the backyard. Could be fun.

joe, what time is the cookout?
ummmm, we aren't sure yet. We are going to the grocery at 3. I'm guessing anytime after 7 or 8. We will be here whenever anybody wants to show up. Fireworks are at what 9:30? I don't know what Cuban has told anybody. I know he has talked to Brody.
nytime after 6 is cool
any time
Also, for those of you who are unsure if yo want to come over.Laura is out of town

I think it was Colin Cowherd today that talked about the worst professional sports cities. He said that Seattle will inherit the #1 spot from Atlanta when the Sonics move to Oklahoma City. He said Seattle should never lose a team to Oklahoma City, that is the equivalent of losing a girl friend to a dude that plays Dungeons & Dragons. Needless to say, I chuckled.

I'm rocking it out in Owensboro. We're getting ready to have pizza and beer. I'm psyched, because it's at the hotel, and I don't have to worry about finding a ride. (I have a car with me, but it belongs to KSP. They frown on you drinking any alcohol and driving a police vehicle. WTF?)
I didn't know you got a new job Douglas. Thats awesome. Congrats
Coupla things....1. Michelle and I will be in Louisville next weekend. I will be attending the Megadeth concert with Ty and Chip on Saturday, but I will definitely be out roaring at people afterward. If anyone wants to get together Friday, we'll try to be in town at a reasonable hour, but most likely after 10-11. 2. Anyone want to do a cabin in Gatlinburg for Memorial Weekend (May 24-26)? We've looked, there are so many cabins down there I have no idea where to begin. If there are a bunch of people, distance to Gatlinburg strip doesn't matter because we can always hunt human beings for sport in the mountains, but if its just us or a couple of other people, I'd want to be close to Gatlinburg to stumble down the street and yell at mullets and stuffed Grizzly Bears. 3. I'm getting married....not really, but that might happen eventually.
Whoa....dammit, I got excited for a second, Brock. Anyway, a Gatlinburg cabin sounds like fun, I'll see if Chris is not on call that weekend.
I might be up for some roaring this weekend. Going to party like it's my birthday. Oh wait... it is my birthday. Today, actually. Memorial day is out, I'll be in Phoenix for a post wedding party.
A girl at work is challenging me to eat 2 baconaters a large fry and a dr pepper for lucnh at work one day this week. she will buy the food and pay me $10 if I finish it all. It is $15 if I go for the spicy baconaters.
Happy Birthday Jen.HappyTax Day everyone else.Tiffany and I may be up for a Memorial Day Weekend Gatlinburg trip. That will be my birthday weekend. I just hope this one actually goes through. So we would need "definites" that would want to go.
We were thinking about doing a baconator challenge here at work, actually. We were just going to go with two spicy baconators. We didn't dare add the fries, but that seems like a solid addition.
thanks Marc! It is actually very happy so far. Our new designer brought me double chocolate cookies.
Wendy's fucked up my order the other day and put a baconator in my bag, so I decided to try it. It is really good, but at the same time not so much. I ate it about 2 hours after I ate my spicky chicken meal plus a small chili.I have no doubt that you can take it down Joe.
Looks like it should be sunny and 60 degrees by 5pm. Think the trails are any shape for riding today?
I am umpiring everyday this week except Thursday. That leaves me only 1 day to ride this week.
spicy chicken, chili, and a baconator? did you wash that down with a bottle of tums? Sounds painful.
jerome and I ordered a baconator at wendy's one day. The guy behind the counter asked us if we really wanted one.
I want to go to a Bats game.
2 Baconators and a fry, give me a break....I would be ordering extra just to fill me up.
it's not the eating the food that's the challenge, it's living through the digestion of the food that will separate the men from the dead men
i think it's time for a new post. I know it is sad to say goodbye to the midnight blue Miata. But I believe his car broke down in January. We have given it a fabulous viking funeral kinda long post. Lets have a new post. And Phil, make NattySci Mobile viewer friendly.and a Bats game does sound fun. don't know if Chris and some others are allowed back to the park after what I heard about opening day. but i'd like to go. and Tiff has never been to a baseball game I believe.
daaaaaaaaamn marc. way to get a fire lit under my ass.
The baconater challenge includes a 5 piece nugget now.Thursday bats game.
I should be able to ride if we do it as close to 5 as possible.
I am down with the bats game on Thursday. I seriously want to go. I have never been to one.
I have to cut the grass at some point this week.
Marc, what did you hear about opening day? I don't recall doing anything that would get us banned. We did drink our fair share, and we may have been a little loud, but we didn't even heckle any players or other fans.
Happy birthday Jen. I am going to say I am NOT in for a gatlinburg trip. Brock, you scared the crap out of me. Thursday I'll be recovering from all you can eat Moonlight bar-b-que and lots of beer. Plus I'll still be in Owensboro.
joe e-mail me from the best e-mail address to get in touch with you and i'll forward the bachelor party stuff on to you. The e-mail address clay has for you spells your name with 2 t's.
Moonlights is some good stuff Big Jay.
I plan on going to the game tomorrow. Joe do you get your tickets at the park and how much do they cost
get them at the stadium for 6 bucks
Aparently they have no mirrors in this region of Spain. At what point did you really think this was a good idea?http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351445,00.html
u act like you wouldn't look
Of course I'd look. It is analogous to seeing a horrific wreck on the other side of the express way. You are curious as to what is going on so you sneak a peak as you drive by, but you don't stop and hang out for hours.
it's just like that old ron white joke, where some old bitch with saggy titties comes up and asks "wanna see em?" and every guy would proceed to take a shot and say "yup"
Exactly.Two rumors going around, Clark coming back to Louisville (just some speculation) and Jasper is transferring from Kentucky.
Clark and caracter are still going to classes. Caracter wants back on the team.
Caracter knows he can't make it in the pros yet, Clark is the cornerstone of the team. With the addition of Samuels to go along with TWill and the potential return of Clark that is probably a Final Four team as long as the guard play doesn't suck.Caracter is probably more of a team cancer than anything. If Pitino boots him I'd say that is probably addition by subtraction. But then again, if Caracter gets it together, but he has shown us no reason why he would, he could be a collegiate force.
I highly recommend the bacon club chalupa.
Anybody want to ride after work? I'm torn between biking and the bat's game. I can always go ride and buy a 12 pack and drink that in my house watching baseball on TV. Anybody have any input?
I can't ride today, Abby has a work event after work at Churchhill Downs.
Baconater challenge tomorrow at 4th street. We are coming up with a notarized contract by the end of the day.2 spicy baconaterslarge frylarge dr. pepper5 piece nugget1 sauce4.5 pumps of the ketchup dispenser20 minutes
joe we all know about your impressive gastronomic accomplishments of the past and I'm sure you'll come out of the baconator challenge the victor. but at what cost? why do you keep doing this to yourself? i'm just reminded of the time cartman ate all the skin off the chicken at kfc...do you really want to have to make a fruit basket for Scott Tenorman? Do you?
Here's the video of our wendy's challenge from last year:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsHE8BOw6Qk
free food and $15
Glory lasts forever...clear eyes full hearts can't lose
More like Clear arteries, full stomach...can't lose
joe, i'll make sure i say a little prayer for your bunghole tomorrow around lunch
Joe - just remember you are awesome and don't let these haters deter you.
i'm not hating at all, i know he'll do it, he and i used to kill wendy's on road trips in college, we'd eat 8 bucks off the dollar menu, and then people would give us what they couldn't finish. i don't doubt he'll do it, i'm just saying his asshole is going to hurt mid afternoon tomorrow after that shit gets digested, that's all
Yeah I know you aren't hating, but I want to see what Joe posts on here after going through with it.
I'm kind of glad it was an earthquake. At first I thought my wife was having sex without me.
Someone check on Joe, remember God is trying to kill him. He must be pulling out the big guns now.
Was it a bad idea to go to dollar beers at the Riverbats and then do boneless wings at BW's afterwards in preparation for this?
Wow, I didn't realize there was an earthqualke last night until just now. It all makes sense now. I did wake up hearing something moving around 5ish. I just assumed Cuban was having a good time upstairs.
My cat ran under the door frame during the quake. I can only assume that if she had a school desk she would alternately crouched under it.
God won't kill Joe just yet. There's still the limitless comedy of him being a dirty old man.
I thought Tim was having a seizure or something when I felt the bed shaking. So I woke him up, and he said he was fine and it must be an earthquake. I thought that was just crazy talk and figured my apartment must be haunted (as a more plausible explanation), so I went back to sleep.
Mayor Jerry is having a press conference. There was no earthquake damage. The water main was already busted, the building was already old and so on and so on. What a great speaker.
we have a few lists going in the officetop natural disaster moviestop natural disaster songstop earthquake songsso far the only earthquake songs are ACDC shook me all night long and I felt the earth move under my feetnatural disaster songs "rock you like a hurricane" blind melon "no rain" drowning pool "bodies"movies, we have a lot
kansas "dust in the wind"
you can't have that discussion at all without "It's the End of the World As We Know It"
No Rain is a great song.
35 minutes until we leave for the baconater challenge.
The SHOCKER just ROCKED 'ER!!
we did feel that
4.5 according to USGS.
my dad e-mailed me to tell me he was ok and then asked if i had any problems from the quake...can someone take a map over to my dad's house and show him how far Baton Rouge is from Illinois? Joe could you provide an update of how the baconator challenge went complete with a tally of minutes spent on the shitter for the next 24 hrs?
Adrian was a witness, I had all of the food in my mouth in the 15 minutes. The drink and chewing took 19 minutes and some change. I won the $10 consolation prize. I still feel like a winner. The food alone cost her 15 dollars.
Adrian has a picture on his phone if anyone wants to see it. I sweat off about 5 lbs during the competition.
I personally witnessed it. It was disgusting but i could not look away. You should have ate the cup for an extra 20 bucks Joe!
congratulations joe on your feat, good luck getting your pipes cleaned out
I feel honored. The girl didn't think I would be able to do it and that money was going towards her mom's b-day present.
1 shit, believe it was mostly remnants of BW's and beer. Fatigue is kicking in.
it'll start hitting you after work, especially if you start drinking again
I have 2 games to umpire tonight. AFter that I am game.
I just got home from an interesting trip. When the earthquake happened, everyone at the hotel had the same thoughts about it in pretty much the same order 1) Someone was shaking the bed2) People next door were getting it on, hard3) Haunted room4) Earthquake
Jay are you coming in town tomorrow?
I don't know. Some of the people I met in Owensboro talked about visiting some of the distilleries while they were in Kentucky. I told them to give me a call if they did. Depending on which distilleries they want to visit (or if they even come this way) I might swing into the 'Ville. Is something going on?
Dude, I'm in town. Megadeth! I guarantee you can still get tickets!Crush 'em!
Brock, what time are you all doing anything for the concert? I'm thinking it could be a good time, or at least an excuse to drink a little and hit somebody.
We are going to start pregaming the concert here in about an hour or so. It begins at 5:30. Just waiting on Chip to get here from Bowling Green and Ty to finish making love to his Jag.
I just checked, there are still tickets available. Which is weird since the next 3 shows are sold out.
For Brock and Barryhttp://www.theonion.com/content/new...use_solves_mazeSon of a bitch mouse solves maze that took researchers months to build.
For anyone that cares, Star Wars Episode I "The Phantom Menace" is on Spike.
Chris, we checked the newspaper, no one was reported murdered, so you may be in the clear.
Is it bad that I am still sore from that fucking concert? The worst part about it was that at one point I looked around, and I was the oldest, biggest guy in the pit. So instead of busting some small kid upside the head, I went to get a drink. It was a little depressing though.
was it not a good pit or something? if it's a good pit you should be a little sore
The pit was good for a while, until the big guys cleared out, and I was left standing next to a 4'8" dude (I think) named Skippy. I just don't feel right beating the shit out of someone who shouldn't be in a mosh pit unless they're acting like a retard. And, by that I mean, if there is a little guy acting like a douchebag who thinks he owns the pit, and he's throwing 'bows, and just has poor pit etiquitte, I have no reservations about spearing him to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, I would just as much listen to the music and let the little fuckers have their own fun.
I am not really sure I know what pit etiquitte is, care to elaborate?I am guessing no bows and knees.
Pit Ettiquette1) if a man goes down, pick him up2) do not wildly flail arms or legs, it's a controlled chaosThat's really about it except don't do anything stupid and don't be an ass. Fights have been known to break out, but it the pit is not entirely about trying to hurt someone. It is a means of using the music to relieve some aggression. Douglas, Jay, Joe, anything else to add?
it's hard to explain unless you've been in one. a good pit is extremely rough and physical, but ideally no one gets hurt, at least not on purpose. you're not out to hurt other people, but you do let out aggression, and if you can't take it, then don't get in one. controlled chaos is a good term. you pick a man up when he's down, you don't kick a man when he's down, you don't go throwing punches and 'bows for no reason, however if there is a douchebag doing that, trying to start shit on purpose, he'll get taken care of very quickly, those are the only real fights that break out. and you don't grab people and involve them when they don't want to, you kinda have to do it voluntarily. it's just a weird feeling, especially when i was younger going into pits, getting the shit knocked out of me, and the guy doing it reaching down to pick me up. Like i said, hard to explain, but if you've been in them, you know exactly what i mean.
I always figured mosh pit etiquette is similar to the unwritten rules of playing tackle football without pads. Speaking of people getting fucked up, Red Sox v Yankees fan fight:http://deadspin.com/381980/you-know...ling-each-other
Chris-pretty much nailed it. I would say don't mess with any women in a pit, but that goes along with not picking on much smaller people. Although, Joe, do you remember those girls at the A7X concert? None of the guys were messing with them, but they were beating the shit out of each other.
i will say though, if there's women in the pit, they're just asking to get groped, it really is no place for a woman. but you're right, they should ideally be left alone. now the one's flashing everyone, and the ones that crowd surf, that's a different story, then it's a free for all on who can get the biggest handful
LOL, you guys brought back a funny memory. Chris and I went to see Staind at Headliners back in college. I remember Chris and some other guy throughing a girl up for some crowd surfing...the only problem is nobody caught her.So (and you have to think of this from my view point) I watched some girl approach Chris and some guy about tossing her up, and watched her defy gravity for a split second before she came crashing down. Needless to say, I laughed.Stepkings rocked it that night.
shit, thowing. I am retarded.
again, I am stupid.THROWING
just when you think she's gone, they pull her back inhttp://tv.msn.com/tv/celebritynews/...imym/?GT1=BUZZ3
I don't think women and children should be anywhere near a mosh pit. Honestly, I don't think they should even be on the floor at a metal/hard rock concert. It's just asking for trouble. Just ask Jay, they usually just get in the way, and are more likely to get hurt than add any benefit to the show. Of course, if it's girl rock, aka 3 Doors Down or Nickelback, they are more than welcome.
For anyone trying to make plans for Derby (not like anyone of us usually think that far ahead), Joanna and I will be having another party this year. Hopefully, it will be a little more exciting than last year, but I don't know who will show up or when. We will probably start things up whenever people want, but 3-4 pm sounds reasonable. Similar requests to most other cookouts; we'll provide hamburgers, hot dogs, and a few other main items along with mint juleps and gin bucks (in smaller quantities) as well as a few beers. Otherwise it will be BYOB, and hopefully the other regulars can bring a dish (Dino-queso, Wes and Abby-hot wings, Brock/Jay/Marc/Phil/anyone anything you want, Dom-those delicious donuts). Finally, Joanna says this is supposed to be family friendly- Wes she wants you to bring AJ. Douglas, I'm not trying to exclude you, but Joanna will likely need a baby fix.
you know what sucks worse than jury duty? Jury duty from 10 am to 7pm, getting picked for a murder trial, then getting stricken from the jury at the last minute, then having to show up the next morning at 9 am to see if your number is called for something else.
but hey, at least they paid me $12 for those 9 hours. bitches.
Ah, our justice system at work.
Big Jay - I am now convinced if you were Canadian, you would totally be able to bang Robin Sparkles.
Thank...you? I was just flipping through and on Bloomberg they were talking about the stocks of a company called BJ Services. That's a company I can get behind.
yeah, i've heard of that company. i still need to check BJ's Restaurant at Oxmoor, I've heard good things, although I'm still trying to find out if they give you happy endings for good tips. i'll have kaelyn on derby day, if wes brings a.j., i'll bring kaelyn, she loves babies and that could keep her occupied. i'll see if any of sarah's friends want to come, but only if chris promises to throw them in trash cans. that was too funny, that alone made my derby last year
Xota...don't you mean those are services you like to give?
Jay I got this one.....only if J-Lo had a cock.
Thanks Wes. I just got done sitting through mock trials at work. They were both about forensic biology stuff (DNA and serology) so I felt like I was watching SVU.
Jay - will you have to testify in trials?
That logo snafu made me laugh:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/22/ogc_logo/
I just got picked for trial again, so I get to go sit in a real one today-- again. I'm keeping up with the streak of odd places to post to Natty Sci from. Today, I'm posting from the Judicial Building's Jury Workroom. woo!
I don't know if this protester is trying to be ironichttp://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.c...2008/04/er.html
Anyone going to the UK/UL baseball game tonight?
Stew it should be a good game. Last time they played UK won in the 12th with a walk-off homerun.
I'm thinking about going unless I'm doing dinner with the family.
somebody come break me out of this joint! this sucks.
when you get selected for jury duty, you're supposed to act like a hard core conservative, b/c if you do that, you'll never get picked. don't want someone who thinks their client should get life in jail on the jury
I just hate waiting around for hours on end to see if they'll pick me or not.
still waiting. nothing happening. I heard we're supposed to have an evacuation drill this week though. that would be exciting.
Sorry Jen, jury duty wasn't so bad when I was on it. What did suck is I had to sit on a jury case for three days and then I was selected as the alternate juror so I didn't have to deliberate the case.
at least I brought my Nintendo DS today. Mario Cart has single handedly saved my sanity today. too bad the battery ran out.
ooohhh here's the judge. Our case just got settled out of court. He said he knows we're bored as hell. he hit that right on the head. aaaand I'm outta here folks. Peace out.
Wes-yeah, I'll have to testify. Our supervisor is retiring at the end of next month, so there might be a period where I'm in court all the time.
I'm trying to make a getting psyched mix for court. Does anyone have Rock You Like a Hurricane by the Scorpians ripped to their computer that they can email me?
Of course I do.
I took a different route to work this morning. Know why? Meth lab go BOOMhttp://www.wave3.com/global/story.asp?s=8213088

I voted for ESPN News, ESPN U, AMC, Brave, CNN, FX, HGTV, and Sleuth.But here's the dorky question: If the only two channels I actually want are ESPN News and ESPN U, is it in my best interest to vote for chanels that I know won't get voted on like Smithsonian, Speed and IFC in order to keep more votes from CNN or FX which might bump ESPN off the list.
scratch that, I undid Sleuth and choose Other and went with Fox Sports.
fuck it, I scratch HGTV and voted for Versus HD too

may the jokes commence...
The girl I work with that we run into at O'sheas on occasions lives in a condo at the corner of Bardstown and Grinstead. I've been ragging on her all day about her meth lab blowing up. The jokes are too easy. She just bought a new car too, she is bringing the big bucks selling the meth.
Dude, Cuban and I were in Chicago over the weekend for some Cubs games and we ran into Pauley Shore out on the street.
i like how you wait until wednesday to mention this, is there a story there or did you just see him?
I didn't get home till last night at midnight.Cuban saw him and yelled hey thats pauley shore and I responded with I thought it was a homeless guy and then a bunch of people swarmed him. Not much of a story, kind of like pauley shore's career.
how true, except he did get to make out w/ kelly kapowski, so for that alone he's lived a good life
Kelly Kapowski ... it's because of her that I'm free of prostate cancer

Furthermore, that school is right off of Herr Lane between Westport and Brownsboro Road.
Brock-could you email it to me?
I'll do that when I get home today.
Yeah, that school is only a few blocks from my parents'. Its behind Ballard.
Adrian - check your Gmail account.
I will when i get home. I can't check gmail at work. Stupid firewalls!
