If you recall, I have the kind bud and a prius, everyone likes to hang out in the same city as me. I only have to pay about half of them.

Not signing him would be even dumber. They block the Yankees for a year and lose all sorts of good will with Japanese players and advertisers. No way to spin that.

So, either way, I don't want to hear it.

Trailer.

And people suck

I got this e-mail from a breed specific listserv that I'm on:
Quote:
Yesterday on the way to a show in Greensboro, NC my handler stoped at a rest stop and took a Golden puppy out for a walk in the dog area behind the building. When he came back a window had been broken and the other 7 dogs he had with him were taken. 3 were mine and I am devastated for myself, 1 other client and my handler as 3 were also his. There were 3 Maltese. My 1 year old female Nikki, my 7 month old male (that I co own with my handler ) Geno and 8 month old male Peanut. Both boys were wrapped. Also in the van was my 1 year old Pom Magic. He is 3 1/2 to 4# is an orange sable with a lot of black, very dark. The other 3 were Chihuahuas. All 3 are s mooth coats 2 are fawn. One of the fawns is the dam of a number of champions and is subject to seizures if she becomes stressed She is bred and will require a c section. Her name i Ellie and she is very quiet and sweet. 1 has unusual coloring. She is a silver color with black
sabling. She has a black saddle and a silver blaze. She is microchipped her # is Avid 095812321.
Stealing dogs at a rest-stop? Jesus christ.

Earlier this year, on this same listserv, I heard about two dogs that were stolen out of a car while the owners went inside to check into a motel. The dogs were "found" once the reward posters went up.

They band together because no one else wants to be near them or associated with them. I can't believe you made me have to post this. Now I look like the bad guy. Time for more pot.
You know, if you play the cancer card, in some states you can smoke pot at work.

An idiot could spin how negotiations with Scott Boras couldn't work out.

You, sir, are hired. Whatever it is that you do, you do it well.

So, they must make great guard dogs, right?

Now I have that ZZ Top song in my head.

As a jumping off point, ZZ Top's guitarist, Bill Gibbons, is a poretty good blues guitar player. I was spinning a copy of Deguello a few weeks back and thought "shit, these fuckers could play... what the fuck happened to them in the 80s to turn them into the shit synthesizer band they became?" Billy Gibbons played guitar with metal picks made out of melted down Cadillac bumpers. Awesome.

Then he got cancer.

My former co-worker who played the suicide card was a slacker, so the slack had already been picked up. Even better, his funeral was on a Saturday, so those of us from our office who attended the funeral didn't miss any work. And I got to keep all the personal stuff he'd left in my office!

"SAN FRANCISCO
Supervisors ban plastic to-go boxes, ease pot enforcement
Both ordinances need a second vote to become official
Robert Selna, Chronicle Staff Writer

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

. . . The Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to outlaw the use of plastic foam to-go containers by city restaurants and to effectively decriminalize the use, sale and cultivation of marijuana by adults.

. . .

The marijuana legislation was approved 8-3 on the first of two votes needed to become law.

It would set nearly all crimes involving marijuana as the lowest law enforcement priority for city police. And, it would direct police to essentially ignore most marijuana offenses unless they involve minors, acts of violence, driving under the influence or the sale or distribution of pot on public property or within view of public property.

In a related move, the board voted to create an 11-member committee to monitor enforcement of marijuana crimes.

Both marijuana measures were approved with the blessing of police officials.

Some residents objected to the law enforcement measure, saying the marijuana trade occurs along with other criminal activity that undermines the quality of life in their neighborhoods. The legislation was sponsored by Supervisor Tom Ammiano, whose term will end in 2008, and is rumored to be interested in running for the state assembly seat that will be vacated by Democratic Assemblyman Mark Leno. He introduced the legislation in August at the behest of groups pushing for the national decriminalization of marijuana.

Oakland, Santa Monica, Santa Cruz, and Seattle have passed similar legislation.

In 1978, city voters passed Proposition W, which called for an end to marijuana arrests and prosecutions, Ammiano noted.

The city also voted strongly in favor of state Prop. 215 in 1996. It provides for medical use of cannabis.
