Smartly Pretty

Have you heard Ted Leo play Since U Been Gone and Maps? It's pretty awesome. EDIT: There it is.

What in the fuck is wrong with the New York Rangers

[Rock n Sock Connection Joke Goes Here] My bad, haha. Thanks.

So, when are those awards we voted on gonna be posted? No rush, just curious.

Oh, I forgot all about field day. My friend Emma and I came in last in the field day egg toss three consecutive years. Sometimes lack of achievement is achievement in its own.

Sk8er Boi is without a doubt Avril Lavigne's best song.

I think I'm going to use this thread to talk about games I played in elementary school. I was the fucking man at Spud. Spud rocked, man.

I just noticed the author spelled astonished wrong.

Alternate joke: Now we know where he got all those Hogwarts from.

The other day I umpired my first little league game. I remember when I was in fourth grade and played little league I always used to ask my dad what the score is. fuck, I know why he never had an answer now. This one lady in the stands though (who didn't think I could hear her calling my little league walk-awarding skills into question) actually had a scorebook. How does one score the mercy rule, exactly? I also got to break up a fight between the pitcher and the second basemen because the pitcher took serious offense to the second basemen saying "shit!" after a home run.

I suppose UConn still has to play all of the higher profile big east teams, right? Because I'm pretty sure they're technically on top.

Similarly, I'm extremely fond of Root Beer floats with coffee ice cream.

I agree with Milky on the "impossible task" front but I'll give it a shot. 1.Climbing - Meat Puppets 2.What Katie Did - The Libertines 3.Debaser - Pixies 4.Naomi - Neutral Milk Hotel 5.Is This It - The Strokes 6.Trigger Cut/Wounded Kite at :17 - Pavement 7.Y-Control - Yeah Yeah Yeahs 8.Wasted and Ready - Radish (though I can't really tell the difference when Ben Kweller does it himself) 9.Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus 10.Government Center - Modern Lovers This list is extremely tentative.

Speaking of "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne...did anyone notice that it's kind of the exact same song as "I wanna be your girlfriend" by Lush? (which I think is a cover anyway)

I fucking love "Steal my Sunshine". See, the thing is, you guys could like, read and write when these bands came out. You could figure out in 1994 that 12 years from now there'd be no reason to listen to it. I was two when Ruby Vroom came out. I have to figure thee things out now.

It's not THAT ridiculous. I mean, yes, obviously more multi-run innings start with home runs, and there's clearly evidence proving this, but it's not like he's absolutely mindnumbingly dumb for being surprised. I don't have a problem with him being a bit surprised.

Was "Hip Hop Is Dead" any good? I never picked it up. Anyway, I finally purchased a Soul Coughing album. "Ruby Vroom". As I type, I'm only three songs in, but I'm not really impressed thus far... EDIT: Where have I heard "Screenwriters blues"? Was this in a movie or something? EDIT AGAIN: I guess this is actually kind of interesting.

By magic Mike Greenburg just went from a Jet fan to a Giant fan on the air.

Hey man, I actually had a contribution to Genesis. Sort of.

Is that Bob Wischusen on PBP? I miss watching Rangers games on tv.

Well...talk about a way to go out.

What in the fuck is wrong with the New York Rangers.

10 days from now I'll probably be really excited and tell everyone Tullycraft's "Every Scene Needs a Center" deserves to be up there.

Jags got blacked out.
