A penny means one.

I wish Grady Little would go. I thought Tommy Lasorda was pushing hard for Gibson or Hershiser to get the job.

Yeah, go figure, we can't get THAT contingent to work a double shift.

1. Amanda Wenk 2. Porn 3. Porn 4. Facebook 5. Jelena Dokic 6. My cat 7. Google image search for "don't go there" 8. Hilary Duff's boyfriend Oh by the way, the above-pictured cat fell like 16 feet from our second-floor balcony the other day. I was in bed and heard this big THUD. Apparently he fell through the banisters while playing with a toy mouse. He's okay, though, since cats can take these kinds of bumps. Anyway the Mr. Baby name has been retired in favor of "The Flying Cat."

The blacklash for firing Frank Robinson might be even worse than for Dusty Baker. He'll stay as long as baseball still owns the Nationals, I bet.

Randy Brecker played with my jazz ensemble my sophomore year, but nobody came because the annual YMCA auction > world-class musician

Well yeah, but remember all the talk that TSM was goin' down for good?

The LSD art, Cockstrider...it's like vintage Tack, before the Nazi Tack

Not necessarily true. Some songs end up being more compelling on stage than in the studio, for one reason or another: poorly produced in the studio the first time (e.g. Radiohead's HTTT-era songs), or just because there's a spontaneity and energy present when you know it's a one-shot deal for the people out there as opposed to something you can rehearse to perfection (e.g. lots of Zappa's stuff. Since you plan on getting into him, there's no time like the present to mention that a lot of his work uses heavily overdubbed live tracks to get the best of both worlds.) Live albums probably are never gonna be my favorite album out of a band's catalogue, but I won't refuse to listen to them or anything Also, if they have all the recording equipment present which is necessary to produce a live album for legitimate commercial purposes, wouldn't you say that they're really playing with more people in mind than those in the venue?

Joe Torre always seems to be at risk of getting fired, but we all know he never will be. Dusty Baker will probably end up being the first guy who SHOULD go, but the Tribune has enough problems right now without a bunch of loudmouthed and powerful idiots crying RAY-SIZ-UM because they fired two black managers in a row. My guess is Clint Hurdle. They'll probably go with "we needed to try and go in a new direction," as opposed to their recent "no direction whatsoever."

He's just placeholding until Ripper gets here.

The idea of a second board seemed like such a good idea at the time. Place was doomed, though.

It wasn't even as late as early '03; I think Scooter bailed on us in like April '02 or so. It was not long after the move to Invision

Enough, We the Conservative Brigade of The Smart Marks Current Events Folder Hold these truths to be Self Evidence that all Posters Shall be treated equally, and therefore have the right to post without fear of banning! We hereby reject the tyranny of the Modship Royal Crown and form a militia to defend our freedoms and extend our grieavnces for unfair banning practices lest we secede from the board as per the undersiged...Slapnuts!

So you think that everyone should suffer from crippling inflation so that the lower-middle class makes a few more pennies an hour?

If that sounds okay to you, then you're a fucking moron. I can see some middle-aged lady complaining that the price of orange juice practically doubled, and then NoCalMike chimes in that it's okay because now the proletariat (and yes he'd have to refer to them as The Proletariat) doesn't have to starve just for her to get her daily Vitamin C.

For obvious reasons, I've been trying to track down some Varese, but I can't seem to find any on Soulseek or at the record stores. I do enjoy John Cage, however, and can see where his influence comes into play in Zappa's work. Oh hey, I finally picked up ZINY when I was in Chicago the other day. The Don Pardo bits are funny as hell.

What's your fucking problem, anyway? I don't think I've even so much as acknowledged you before. Not intentionally, at least. What's my act? Clue me in here. I'm not the guy who has to repeatedly profess how message boards are SO uncool and SO unimportant and SO inconsequential to my life, which I do in such a way that takes 41 posts and makes me the most active member of the day. If TSM is so uncool/unimportant/inconsequential, why do you regularly post like 40 times a day, in addition to your previous act in which you spammed the board like thirty times. Don't play the too-cool-for-school card when you're the PRINCE PAUL RULES ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! READ POETRY MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! guy. Geez. But that's a different story. What the hell is the Jet guy's beef with me?

Northwestern? No it shouldn't. They have more important things to worry about.

Clippers are overdue for new uniforms and stuff. They should go back to when they spelled out "CLIPPERS" in nautical flags.

God, your act is so tired

Sass said avatars and signatures, or avs-n-sigs, cannot be censored.

Tony Manero, let's do it again, like we did for McGrady To The Lakers. If Bret Hart doesn't get screwed over like this, you're suspended for a week.

FINALLY they did something about Kobe Bryant wearing pantyhose.

I wonder where Scott Skiles will end up when he gets the boot pretty soon
