You are my new favorite.

I just meant that because they're failing your ears would be the least objectionable to listen with- BECAUSE I wouldn't really hear the band.

Um, I didn't post that. Not sure if you are commenting on my link (which would be weird because I could get to it, and it seems like our net nannys are the same) or on ironweed's. Anyway, it's about trashy romance novels. A chat board, sort of, or weblog with conversational commentary.

Wow. April Wine. My teddy bear collection bore a bunch of pins I had "acquired." One of them was April Wine - Rock and Roll is a Vicious Game. One of the others was Fuck Off and Die. What was the April Wine song?

There were many:

I Like To Rock (juxtaposing Satisfaction, Day Tripper and the song with three different guitar parts)

Just Between You and Me (grade school dance standard)

Sign of the Gypsy Queen

etc.

Those Canadians can sure rock out.

I couldn't really see the nipples in the picture. Even after I tried. Weird.

I didn't really see them either.

Ah. April Wine - seulement entre toi et moi.

I was just letting you know that our blocking software wouldn't let us into the link that Ironweed posted.

I went to your link and was delighted and passed it on in blog form.

I think that my NaNoWriMo effort will be trashy, but not in a good way.

Huh. I thought I was already your favorite. Who supplanted me (briefly)?

I like to Rock! That's it. The other one was too sappy.
Most Canadians Rock. Except for that Gordon guy.

I didn't use it by accident. Is this what it feels like to be PLF?

Are you saying I shouldn't post in the "engaged but bored" chatrooms?

Calm down, I'm on your side. No need to get all defensive and call PLF's name in vain. I'm here to help.

For awhile I had spookyfish paired off as one with another poster-perhaps Aloha or And Violins? Soup Sandwich is still paired with someone but netiher of them post enough for me to remember who it is.

There is no good analogy, because he's confusing ex ante and ex post strategy.

Before the game, the underdog will want to shorten the game because random chance evens out over a longer period, so if the game is "shorter" there's a greater chance luck will allow the underdog to win. This is the strategy villanova took in 1985--it kept the game slow from the start. They took, what, 28 shots, hitting 22 of them? It worked out, and then we got the shot clock so that strategy no longer works so well.

Once the game gets going and a team gets the lead, the leading team (regardless of whether they're stronger) will want to waste time, because it reduces opportunities for the other team to come back.

Of course, that doesn't work in untimed sports (except if rain is coming in baseball).

I missed TM's statement that in tennis, there is no knockout shot, bc I don't read Thurgreed on Sports. That said, he is very ig'nant. The Overhead Smash comes to mind just off the top of my head. I could go off on tennis strategy and how you get to the knock out shot, but I won't bc I don't think anyone here either gives a fly ing fuck, or would have the knowledge to challenge me if they disagreed. I say this at risk of making str8's analogy, whatever it was, correct.
