It's interesting how abbreviation is a long word.

[GAME05]

i'm pretty sure i found a spelling error in the dictionary the other day, but i have no way of confirming it.

[And That]

Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience. Patience.

But because it's long, you're able to abbreviate it. I think if it were a short word, then it would be weirder.

We're doing some house cleaning, and I just found a set of '01 Indianapolis Indians cards.

 

Among the players:

Kevin Barker

Brant Brown

Mike Buddie

Sweet Lou Collier

Mike Coolbaugh

Mark Sweeney

Kyle Peterson

Bucky Jacobsen

Alex Sanchez

Marco Scutaro

Tim Harikkala

Brian Lesher

Ben Sheets

 

The name Brian Lesher is really funny if you were on the ESPN boards in '01.

[GAME05]

I love going through my old collection of worthless 1980's baseball cards. Plus then a month later I'll make some pointed Kelly Gruber comment to someone and they'll be totally impressed.

 

for some reason Mike Smithson (P-Red Sox) was the brunt of every joke my brother and I would make in the 90's.

[GAME05]

Not one person could ever knock him for his amazing baseball skill (most stolen bases in the 90's, i believe), but Otis Nixon may be the ugliest player in the history of baseball.

 

though I feel a little guilty for just insulting the guy, especially because no doubt he currently has a career, house and wife I'd be totally jealous of having.

Ron Karkovice certainly has an argument here...

Yay tripod!

 

Did anyone else have a crappy geocities website when they were younger? I did; and it was worthless, but at least I could say I made a website.

[RobertR]

I was amused that Ben Affleck thanked both Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz in the closing credits for GONE BABY GONE.

I had a website on Geocities. I actually thought it was pretty decent.

 

It was an ALF website.

I had a friend in High School with a geocities website. He used it to make a hit-list and got kicked out of school...

Patience.

 

That was an awful episode.

Really? That might be my favorite episode.

It just dragged on WAY too long. It was funny for a second, but they sometimes dwell on things that need to be touched on quickly to be funny.

If the buzz is to be believed on Beowulf and Persepolis, a BEST ANIMATED FEATURE category including those two and Ratouille could be the best set of nominees as a whole in a long time. Probably better than BEST PICTURE as a whole.

[Schlitz001]

Where did you see Persepolis? I don't see it playing anywhere near me and I can't find a dubbed torrent either.

[Crazyk1294]

What the hell is going on with Scrubs? This season hasn't had more than a handful of funny moments. Did the writers for the show go on strike early?

[brewdude15]

I hope this week goes fast.

I wonder if the Girl Scouts have a merit badge in nutrition.

 

It would seem very hypocritical if they did.

 

They're so tied into those cookie sales for their funding, and yet those cookies are absolutely loaded with fat and sugar.

[RobertR]

Where did you see Persepolis? I don't see it playing anywhere near me and I can't find a dubbed torrent either.

 

I haven't seen Persepolis yet, I understand it opens in the US around Christmas, but it was well reviewed at Cannes, I'm somewhat familiar with the source material, and it is France's official entry for Best Foreign Language picture. The signs are pointing in the right direction. Still, knowing the Academy, Shrek 3 will likely get the third slot, but there's a very clear concensus forming of what really is the best this year.

Girl Scout Insignia List

 

Looks like Brownies have something for "Eat Right, Stay Healthy" and "Healthy Habits." Junior Girl Scout insignia includes "Food Power" and several health/healthy type topics.

 

Then there are cookie badges too. Oh, well. Maybe the healthy/food badges mention moderation or something.

[brewers19]

Cookies are a sometimes food.

[GAME05]

I've lost any interest I may have had in seeing the Bee Movie because I'm so sick of the commercials.
