Disappointed
I asked the slouch (Norm Chad):
Can you please remind us all again: why exactly is he called 'the matador'?
He responded:
You are a hoot and a holler (though not $1.25 richer, at the moment).
Thanks for reading.
See the brilliant queries he chose (azlo, we should go bowling, it'll be fun exactly once):

Son of Azlo, the Orioles are stupid:

Infrequency and Indie Punching. Not Professionalism.

Agreed. Also, what's with the Mets? Signing Beltran and sh__. Luckily, they have a GM whose name is fun to say while shaking your fists, "Damn you, Omar Minaya!!"
Sorry bout the Slouch, I spose it didn't get past his intern. I saw that ad again on mike and Mike this morning and was hopeful.
I considered bowling yesterday. I will only bowl at alleys with carpeted walls (a la Queen Anne's Bowl).
I think it would only be due diligence for you to keep a watchful eye on this, police cop:

No comment.....beware or I will unleash the fury of my badge that shoots lasers.
Omar Minaya will become the Urban Meyer/Nick Saban of the next few weeks just because his name is fun to say and it sounds like the name of a Colombian drug lord in a Schwarzenegger film. It looks like, Beltran to the Mets, Lowe to the Dodgers, Orioles only team with any money, they get Delgado or the injury ridden Magglio Ordonez, maybe?
Preview of Staff Mtg:
"And KC what have you been doing?"
"Well I've been concentrating very hard on wearing a tie and hanging up postcards of French Impressionists and 70's punk rockers."
Pitchfork... Come on. You've had a collegiate vacation, and promised big things come... uh, this morning. I see nothing. Some indie-lectuals have to get up and go to work, you know. KC and I have the kind of work ethic that would really put pitchfork on the map. Please hire us.
That was a "Stephen A." shift in subject/tone/point.
Good luck in staff meeting. Your best point is that you have not paid me to publicize your policies.
You do make quite a habit with your "Sars Corp announces...." or "Dr. Hankerson made public......" Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one?
There is no reason for pitchfork not to hire us. I have plenty of time to listen to advance copy cd's on my commute and I'm up at 5:30 in the morning to satisfy even the earliest rising indie-lectual. I could also record NPR spots on my way to work or whilst stationary biking. We're better than those jerks and would write great concert/concert-goer reviews. My review of the 'GBV/scary hand man' would be an instant classic.
Upon further review, "You do make quite a habit with your," makes NO sense. Philly Inquirer HIRE ME!
By the way, I thin you missed the biggest news in that o's article:
"Orioles Note: Outfielder-second baseman Jerry Hairston told Beattie he would be willing to play center field next season."
Phew.
Should have read:
"Orioles Note: Jerry Hairston agrees to stay in Baltimore since area hospitals will be better for treating his frequent injuries than hospitals in Japan. This assertion was based upon the counsel of Cecil Fielder and repeated viewings of the Tom Selleck classic 'Mr. Baseball'."
Here is the Austin City Limits schedule:

If you click on the artist/show title, you get a setlist. Wilco is mostly "Ghost is Born." It looks like Bright Eyes plays My Morning Jacket's "Golden" w/ Jim James. Yipee. I checked the tape this morning and did record the show while preserving the Jennifer Lopez South Park that is on the tape.
Awesome. I look forward to the whole tape; last night loveline played Taco Flavored keeses along with Ace's Mexican Accordian Ranchero Countdown, and I laughed.
Despite your warning, I did do a double-take when I turned on the TV and saw Sesame Street.
I azlo hate Bill O'Reilly. Alright?
Jerry Hairston should look out, I hear you guys have an up and coming 30 yr old in the minors, primed for the big time: Whatsisname Gomez.
The O's need to stop whining, I don't think that their revenue is going to get killed by the Nats, at least not short term. That's a copout, and as annoying as Ed Wade saying he's happy with the Phillies rotation of doom.
I agree with you. The Orioles are being pretty stupid. That is a huge cop-out. They should be telling the truth by saying, "Players want to win and don't necessarily think they can do that in a division with the Yankees and Red Sox" or "We don't make good offers and are not willing to compromise b/c Scott Erickson, David Segui and Albert Belle bent us over" or "Our owner is an evil troll and we are falling in line with him" or "Players don't want to come to the 'what if they gave hillbillies a city' city."
Last year I was very excited about the Orioles, thinking of buying a multiple game package. They have upset me greatly this offseason. If it weren't for Miguel Tejada's unsettlingly giddy grin and the feeling of superiority I get when I look at Jay Gibbons' ugly face, I might consider full-time Nat fandom, but alas, the cartoon O-bird and multiple bobbleheads will always bring me back to da yard for dem o birds hon.
With a title bar reading "one more day" Pitchfork has edited their frontpage letter to read we will return Tuesday January 11th.
They must have all taken the day off to restock the jerk store.
In reality, it's probably whoever's doing their website redesign's fault, IT people are dumb. Still, though, they suck, and their jerk chicken stand has never been understaffed (stocked?).
I hate sports. I realized today that I'm fully prepared for the Eagles to lose. How retarded is that?
Go Nads.
I think that expecting your team to lose is the best way to enjoy sports. You are much more pleasantly surprised when they win. The only people that think their team will always and is always entitled to win are Yankees fans, and everybody loves them.
I was assigned to another project today, it's really picking up around here. My main accomplishment today was e-mailing the ethics guy to ask him if I can still go to the Opera and the occasional hip-hopera. No answer yet. My struggling social life hangs in the balance.
DAMN YOU OMAR MINAYA!!

Ed Dep ethics... where have I heard that before? I believe the crippled newsie I tripped over this morning said, from 'neath my foot, "Extree, extree, read all about it! Ed's dumb!"
I turned to my companion and said "I say, Phineas, I do believe I've gone and put my foot in someone else's mouth, for once."
I'm really busy which is crappy, today was supposed to be the quiet day this week. It's making me delirious, and my hatred for the evil Omar Minaya grows.
I hope you guys get Sosa. You do have on your roster the only man whose name can beat Senor Minaya's: Miguel TeJADA.
