Downlord

I spent an hour with the "J Team" yesterday getting my earl changed and my friendly service technition didn't force anything purchases upon me, but one of these days......
So that lead to me not being able to get my J Crew package out of the closed rental office since UPS thought Crystal would like my new shoes and tie more than I would.

Downlorded me some "Jolene" last night. One Dolly and several White Stripes versions. White Stripes have a lo-fi studio version that is definitely not as rockin'.

I'm gonna try and bust out a pre Wrens nap tonight, we'll see. I do have to meet my dad and brother in bawlmer at 10 tomorry. Bang bang.....bang bang bang......bang bang bang bang...car show.

Shouldn't it be "clap clap", or did they have a drum? I plan on enjoying the sleep show tomorrow, I hear it's awesome. My dad and bro are not attending.
Maybe go to the J team myself, though I don't wanna.
I saw the UPS tag, and thought "What, I didn't buy anything else, did I? DID I?" Good to hear its yours, that was quick.

Saw the ad for "Blind Justice" this morning. Jesus. That's insane. Did David Cross write this in jest? Is that actor, whose had like a dozen failed shows, ever going to give up and return to cameos on mediocre sitcoms?

Courtney's car broke down last night, and started spewing antifreeze, a la your wagon fulla pancakes.

Could tonight be a Ben's Chili Bowl evenin?

Ooooooo do you have a new "leave a comment" screen. I do.
On SNL the Mr. Rocky Balboa Dog Show skit had a snare drum.
I am crushing some Flow-bert during these metro rides back from VA and hourlong waits at Jiffy Lube. They did say that their coupons come in the "ValuPak" coupon thing so I should probably stop throwing that away.
"Blind Justice" is hilarious. I guess the fact that it is on TV is more hilarious. "Do you smell that? A gun has been fired in this car. I smell some clues....no wait, that's the dump my seeing eye dog took on the crime scene."

Can we get a playback of a conversation from last week please? Here's the transcript:
Scene: in car or in living room
PWA: Yeah, DC is deciding what they could put in their stadium to be like Boog's. I guess Ben's Chili Bowl is a good idea.
KCJ: Indeed, the food sounds very very good, but I really can't see myself eating it, the going to a concert at the Black Cat and standing for 2 hours.
PWA: Me neither, gross.

I certainly do have anew comment screen. It's notably faster, and has a nice picture of whomever leaves a comment.

I remember that conversation, and its followups about unnecessary expenditures and diets, but thhis is all overcome by a total lack of self control, and the odd phenomenon of the "half smoke."

On second though, never mind.

Yes, that is the photo that I saw a few months ago. My brain shows it to me everytime I think it might a good idea to go there and then go do something else. For once my brain helps me. Maybe I should stop shoving crayons up my nose at it.

Tom Boswell is actually an 8 year old boy:

I guess we're lucky to have had hometown teams all our lives, and lucky to not be baseball writers in a city without a team.

Wow.

Baseball is nice. He's also right about offseason moves, though he's kidding about year-round attention, right? I heard on the Esspen last night that 65 former all stars have switched teams this off season. Granted, a lot of schlubs make the reserves, but that's remarkable.

A lot of people were also calling and whining about steroids "hurting the purity" of baseball. Hogwash. You heard me. Baseball's never really been pure, and though I certainly enjoy its tradition of heritage, it's naive to say that baseball today has much to do with Babe Ruth. I like Olde Timerse sipping Countrye Timee and enjoying a day game as much as the next idiot, but baseball is undeniably an industry, and to ignore that is... ignorant.

Hey, Tom Boswell, I'll trade you a shiny Terrmel Sledge Upper Deck card for your ratty old Walter Johnson rookie.

Yes, old timey baseballing was full of cheating and jerk owners, etc etc. Many of the "purity of baseball" geeks batted 15th on their little league teams and still throw like girls. Just think about a team full of those guys: Gammons, Kirkjuan (my new name for him), Boswell, George Will, etc. The only actual player they would have is Cal Ripken and his playing could be described as streaky.

Oh, how I would love to play catch with George Will.

I can get behind any team whose leadoff man is named Endy Chavez. That's an excellent name for a Cuban hitman.

Curses - just checked out the Nationals schedule. First weekend homegame with the Phillies? September 2.

Well, hopefully by then we'll be Nationals fanatics, covered in Terrmel Sludge.
That's also the day before my birthday. I don't know what that means other than being coincidental.
