Is ice-kayaking popular? Bilmore?

Kayaking is one of the ways junior varsity hockey players celebrate after making a goal. As described by Fugee Nephew #2, one builds up speed then drops to the knees and slides, pretending to paddle a kayak with the hockey stick. I am also told this is done in neighborhood broomball games though it is difficult to build up as much speed on foot.

So I assumed ABBA was scoring a lot and celebrating.

Whether or not she was actually on the ice.

Please mention this to Randy Moss for us.

But according to The Dowd Report he bet on the Reds to win every game that they played (almost, during the time period that was documented, Dowd found only one occasion where the Reds played but Rose chose not to place a wager on the game)... if wanting the team you manage to win every game it plays is bad and self-interested then every manager (well, hopefully all of them) is guilty of that.

Stop smoking that shit.

He called other managers to ask them how he thought their pitchers looked that night. I'm sure he bet on teams other than the Reds using this information. That is a betrayal of your friends as well as a failure to uphold the integrity of the game.

And I bet he bet on games when he was a player too. The guy was a scumbag. I wouldn't have a problem if they allowed him to be voted on for the hall (and he might not even make it if they do), but he shouldn't be allowed in a ballpark and I don't want to hear his induction speech as it will be the biggest, steamiest, piece of crap in the history of the world.

Did you see his interview last night? He feels like he was wronged even though he fucking signed an agreement saying he agreed to be banned and that he couldn't be involved. He wasn't supposed to confirm or deny and he spent the next 14 years denying it to anyone who would put a microphone in his face. He should be permanently banned for just that.

Fuck him.

Sure but we're going to have to tinker with font size on the menu. Too many people thought they were ordering breaded clams. Should be ready for rollout by then, though.

You might want to update the menu. Who eats bearded clams anymore?

I've heard that for money it is likely that he could jack off 10 times a day though. and who would be so bold as to ask for than that from him?

And for even more money, he might do said jacking off on live television for all to see. But, if I recall correctly, it would take a fair amount of money. The tv part, that is. You might get the 10 times part fairly cheaply, but I can't be sure. He's one complicated cat.

But has anyone ever produced any evidence that he did in fact tamper with the team in that manner? I recall players from that time stating in interviews that they did not believe that was the case (no cites, just memory). I know what he did was wrong but he was such a moron that he didn't use his position to impact his bets

You're not this stupid. He's a gambler. Gamblers know their games. Ask str8.

And for the past 14 years, he has claimed that the prosecutor (MLBs??) is/was corrupt/dirty/every name in the book for trying to prosecute Rose for something he didn't do. The prosecutor (who would have been drawn & quartered had he stepped foot in the Nasty) hasn't received an apology.

Fugee, have you ever met with an ex, much less met with an ex with your SO?

Your relationship expertise notwithstanding*, "transparency" does not ensure a healthy relationship and furthermore is not required for one.

Preach on. I'd like to lose about a pound and a half and I've only TUIMMALB so far.

*And I'll note that you are the one who believes that jewelry should be purchased to address everything from childbirth to neglect.

I have met with an ex. We had to meet to plan an alumni dinner. He told his wife about it and I sat with them at the dinner, but I sat next to her and not him. If I'd had an SO at the time, I'd have told him.

Most of my relationship wisdom comes from being an avid observer of interpersonal dynamics and how various relationships "tick."

I believe gift-giving is a tangible expression of love and just point out circumstances where that tangible expression might be made in sparklies, especially because many men I know are lame gift givers. The childbirth idea actually came from a former co-worker who wanted to buy his wife jewelry to commemorate the birth of their first child. I thought it was cool that she would always have that piece with the sentimental significance.

While I'm dishing out unwanted advice, I should point out that TUALIMM doesn't lead to much weight loss.

Hmmm. Maybe you're onto something...


I'll try that tonight and let you know how that turns out.

It's not just me he's, um... frugal with, it's himself too (he'd sooner wear pants with holes in them to work than spend for a new pair of DOCKERS -- and he walks around PLENTY in his underwear.

I too would rather wear pants with holes than spend for a new pair of Dockers. Fortunately, those are not the only options.

Am listening to the music of someone named Beth Orton. Like it, and don't know anything about her. Is anyone here a fan? The friend who lent it to me is, but she's a little scary. (The friend, not Beth, though she may be scary too.)

I know that Orton collaborates a lot with the Chemical Brothers, but I don't think this is representative of her work in general.

I am listening to the The Kills album. Over and over.

"Like to cuss and fight (in the basement)
Kid like to cuss and fight (in the basement)
She got a rattlesnake on in the basement
The young snake's got my name"

No idea what that means, but I find it oddly evocative, and it is sung over a low down riff that makes me think about fucking. What more can you ask for in a song?

Yeah. "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on tv" doesn't do it for me.

I thought that was what the kid was for.

The TUIMMALB was the preliminary. I was expecting a deluge of the "if you love something set it free" type crap, whereupon a full TUAOM* would occur.
