TR said...: Yeah, it's a tough grind for us NYC-area Gentiles. Roshashanah this week and the Kippur next week mean days off for some.; 3:45 PM, October 03, 2016

Mummy dear, mummy dear?

Haven't spun much Supertramp lately.; 4:09 PM, October 03, 2016

rob said...: i guess i should explain why i'm nervous. if bradley succeeds, all kinds of doors open up for american coaches across europe and the world, which will open doors for american players and speed our development as a serious soccer nation. if bradley fails at swansea, that sets american soccer back a decade. and if american soccer is set back a decade, that means little ian pellicane won't make it as a european professional. and if little ian pellicane doesn't make it as a european professional, that increases the chances that he winds up just like his dad. i think I'm justifiably nervous.; 10:13 PM, October 03, 2016
Dave said...: so you're biting your nails for all the children? that's very noble.; 8:26 AM, October 04, 2016
rob said...: just for one; 8:27 AM, October 04, 2016
Whitney said...: This reminds me of watching Jeopardy in the Sweet Suite in 1989 and having to hear you two nerds bitch at each other over who said the answer first.; 9:34 AM, October 04, 2016
Mark said...: People around my parts are already freaking out about the Hurricane possibilities. It's like they all just moved to Florida. I remained relatively unmoved.; 9:35 AM, October 04, 2016
T.J. said...: but what about clowns? are they freaking out about clowns?; 9:42 AM, October 04, 2016
Whitney said...: Mark, this one could be a doozy.

Then again, you could just get a little rain. They don't know.

They're also freaking out here in Virginia, where the impact percentage is way lower.; 10:07 AM, October 04, 2016
Dave said...: little kid and a clown are walking into the forest. little kid says "this forest is dark and scary!"

clown says "you're telling me . . . and i've got to walk out of here alone."; 10:29 AM, October 04, 2016
zman said...: True story:

zfather took me to Ringling Brothers Circus when I was 3 or 4. Clown comes up to me and tries to give me a balloon animal. I'm terrified and say no. zfather and the clown keep trying to get me to take the balloon animal. Finally zfather says "Jeezus christ, take the goddam balloon!!" I still refuse so zfather takes it and lambastes me after the clown leaves. I remain ashamed and silent for the rest of the afternoon, deriving no enjoyment from the circus experience. He drops me off at zmother's house, still pissed about the clown incident and relays the story to her in anger. zmother asks for my side of the story. I told her "You're not supposed to take things from strangers" and zfather replies "That's not a stranger, that's a clown!" and I retort "That's the strangest looking man I've ever seen." zmother gives zfather her standard "you're jackass and a lousy excuse for a father" look and we go inside.

I still do not like clowns.; 10:42 AM, October 04, 2016
Shlara said...: I don't like clowns, mascots or Halloween costumes.
And Santas.
Even as a little kid, I would give those people the side eye and stand at a distance.
They are all creepy.; 11:39 AM, October 04, 2016
TR said...: I like Shakes the Clown.; 11:53 AM, October 04, 2016
Danimal said...: And Baskets; 11:56 AM, October 04, 2016
zman said...: Employee number 8 makes baskets. Santas creeped me out too. I guess I was a very cowardly child.; 12:24 PM, October 04, 2016
rob said...: tribe ad terry driscoll called it quits today after 21 years on the job. he's a good man.

Mark said...: It could be a doozy, Whit, but I always tend to believe most Hurricanes will be less impactful than they are built up to be. I'll do some basic prep but I don't really trust the Hurricane Industrial Complex.; 1:00 PM, October 04, 2016
rob said...: dudes, important news. so important that i'm sharing it in a comments section on an obscure blog. effective immediately, i'm going to (finally) wean myself off of yahoo mail. please use batogato15 (at) gmail.com to get me on the email machine going forward. hugs and kisses.; 1:24 PM, October 04, 2016
rob said...: i'll continue ignoring your emails, then.; 1:28 PM, October 04, 2016
T.J. said...: there were 14 other batogatos?; 1:30 PM, October 04, 2016

Get some; 2:38 PM, October 04, 2016
zman said...: Ever South might be the best hiphop song of 2016.; 3:09 PM, October 04, 2016
Clarence said...: As you know, tonight's VP debate takes place at Longwood University.

As you might not know, Longwood's president is W. Taylor Reveley IV, son of Taylor III, current William & Mary president, and grandson of Taylor II, electric boogaloo . . . ahem, I mean former president of Hampden-Sydney College. Quite the higher ed lineage.; 4:13 PM, October 04, 2016
zman said...: If you're into schools in rural Virginia. Is Longwood the one with the hot trampy women or is that Radford? Or both? I recall guys from Virginia speaking of at least one of those schools in reverential tones.; 4:34 PM, October 04, 2016
Danimal said...: Definitely Radford.; 4:42 PM, October 04, 2016
Donna said...: Clowns at the circus don't bother me but in the woods/on the road - yikes!
And mall santas can definitely be weird.
The Reveley Pres at Longwood -- we went to seminary at same time. He went Princeton undergrad, Union seminary (in Richmond), UVA law school, then various work before Pres gig. That's fam tradition I think (the educational path there). They're Presbyterian, too. Won't be surprised if Taylor runs for some polit office someday.; 7:13 PM, October 04, 2016
TR said...: This is unrelated to whatever this thread has mutated into, but I wanted to acknowledge Mark's odd podcast recommendation - The Fall of Rome. I gave it a shot and it is good. The dude who hosts the show is a total nerd, but I bet he'd admit it. He has encyclopedic knowledge of Roman culture and history. I knew almost zero about the Roman Empire's decline/decay from ~375 AD to 600 AD. Pretty crazy stuff.

Hearing the guy reference a fictional soldier's life was amusing. He named the guy Wolfula (and correctly pronounced it Vulf-u-la every time). And he also "talks smack" about rival archeological factions in the tamest, nerdiest way possible. Very funny and educational. Makes me feel less guilty about listening to the Flair podcast, where I just learned Ken Patera was an alternate shot-putter for the 1972 Summer Olympics.; 7:35 PM, October 04, 2016
Mark said...: I second everything TR just said. He sold the podcast far better than I ever could have.; 9:06 PM, October 04, 2016
TR said...: Pence started his comments by thanking Norwood University. Gonna be a long night for Mikey.; 9:13 PM, October 04, 2016
TR said...: Tim Kaine's dad is there. I guess that makes him...wait for it...Big Daddy Kaine?

Yes, I'm drinking scotch on a Tuesday.; 9:22 PM, October 04, 2016
Whitney said...: So Pence began the debate going wide right?; 9:27 PM, October 04, 2016
zman said...: Too soon. Is Pence wearing metallic lipstick?; 9:45 PM, October 04, 2016
zman said...: Much like Marls circa 1995, Pence keeps his suit jackets wadded up in a ball on the floor in a pile of dirty clothes.; 10:00 PM, October 04, 2016
Whitney said...: Pence is a poor man's Roger Sterling. Except minus booze and women and plus Jesus and hating gay people.; 10:10 PM, October 04, 2016
Whitney said...: The title of this post can't be said about the VP debate.; 10:28 PM, October 04, 2016
TR said...: Pence has done very well. I'm unused to hearing coherent conservative policy talk. I know you Virginians like Kaine, but he comes off like a great, big puss.; 10:33 PM, October 04, 2016
zman said...: Kaine is pulling a Trump with the interruptions. Pence has the impossible task of defending Trump's stupid statements and he's doing a good job dodging.; 10:38 PM, October 04, 2016
TR said...: Wife and I are playing a game where we make up things that the aged Tom Broka might actually say, given he appears to have aged 15 years since we last saw him. They are all kinda mean.; 11:05 PM, October 04, 2016
