John Rocker wins this mess, hands down...
On ever playing for a New York team: "I would retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."
On New York City itself: "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"
In passing, he calls an overweight black teammate "a fat monkey." Asked if he feels any bond with New York Knicks guard Latrell Sprewell, notorious for choking coach P.J. Carlesimo two years ago, Rocker lets out a snarl of disgust. "That guy should've been arrested, and instead he's playing basketball," he says. "Why do you think that is? Do you think if he was Keith Van Horn -- if he was white -- they'd let him back? No way."
So many dumb asses don't know how to drive in this town," he says, Billy Joel's New York State of Mind humming softly from the radio. "They turn from the wrong lane. They go 20 miles per hour. It makes me want -- Look! Look at this idiot! I guarantee you she's a Japanese woman." A beige Toyota is jerking from lane to lane. The woman at the wheel is white. "How bad are Asian women at driving?"

aw Mara, all that for nothing. Be sure to treat yourself gently today.

Well if SHE'S not walking, why should I?

You're right. We just have to deal with doctors who have big knuckles. 
We get that, too, you know.
Though maybe not as deep!
Re: the speculum - thankfully many doctors now warm their instruments first.
Warmed up or not, metal or plastic - they make me freeze up with fear...
I used to get so bad...crying, shaking...a doctor one time asked if something had happened to me to make me feel that way. He was very kind and kudos to him for asking. Thankfully the answer to the question is no, I just hated it that much. I'm pretty much over it now, but it's still a process to get my head "elsewhere" while the exam is going on.

Nuts are yummy. alone, in salads, (though I'm not partial to them in chicken salad) in baked goods, (even brownies) and in candy.
Love almonds I think most of all (Almond Joy anyone?) and love smoked almonds from the can OOH! delish.
Followed by cashews and Brazil nuts.

QUOTE (JohnnyBlaze @ Aug 1 2011, 05:39 AM) QUOTE (bigmoney2112 @ Aug 1 2011, 02:47 PM) I watched the First Hour Of MtV thing they showed at midnight. It was pretty cool except that most of the videos in the first hour of MTV weren't very good. What'd they show? There were a lot of "not very good" videos I remember watching back then. For example: I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers Eddie Money's "Shakin'" or Journey's "Separate Ways". Even if the songs weren't that bad, the videos were damn terrible even for back then. But it was exciting & new and the videos kept coming so my buddies and I would watch nearly all day (like many folks on this board).
I think the last thing I saw on MTV was that Real World San Francisco shit back in the early/mid 90s...you know, the one with that blonde bike messenger guy and those other assholes living such a hard life in a kick ass house
. P.S. Being 10 years old and watching that rocket take off at the top of the hour and hearing that MTV music as Martha Quinn announced, "This hour we have videos from Asia, Men at Work, and Rush [[while showing that black & white group shot of the guys]]" was really exciting.
was thinking that very thing last night...how we'd watch ALL DAY! Only switching off for awhile to play Pong.

QUOTE (CMWriter @ Jul 21 2011, 12:45 PM) I was pretty much amped up on adrenaline opening night, but did they leave out the scene in Snape's memories where he and Dumbledore are on the hilltop, and Snape is begging him to hide Lily and her family from Voldemort.. something along those lines, page 676, Ch. 33. I thought that was a really, really powerful scene.
But I have other, little gripes.
Like the final duel. But I won't rehash that rant. xDNo they didnt leave that out...Snape begged for Lily's life.
I liked the final duel, I'm totally ok with it.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!
good lord...wept almost throughout, seriously. But I cheered and my heart leapt and I was so. damn. satisfied.
NEVILLE IS A FREAKIN GAWD!
Freds death, while I really was sweating seeing it onscreen, could have been expanded a little more.
My favorite moments ->
Draco's hesitation...I loved him immensely for that.
NEVILLE! are you KIDDING! kick. ASS!
Harry steps out from the crowd to confront Snape.
Luna...her authority to Harry, her "submission" to Neville. Dichotomy, lovely.
THE PRINCES TALE...good grief, I was a sobbing mess throughout from Snapes attack to the point where Harry sinks to the steps in realization. How awful all, how wonderfully revealing.
I was far enough away from the book not to notice the missing parts...I was happy, and satisfied with the whole experience.

QUOTE (ouchithurts @ Jul 24 2011, 10:19 AM) Gosh, I hate the term "subs."
It's a wedge.or a hoagie, or a grinder. For todays purposes let's just stick with the word "subs"
That said, the best sub I ever had was a tuna hoagie in Radnor PA, when I went to college there...I think the place was called Campus Corner...so DAMN yummy that I remember it these many years later.

Workaholic Man and Mara ...great minds think alike.
You both got the gist of what I was saying. I would treasure much more than some little kid, who may indeed forget the game entirely as he gets older.(for anyone who is interested, I took this discussion to FB...most are of the "you dont have to but I would" mind, so far.)

Tick, I'm with you on this.
No offense Phil, but I've seen RUSH 25 times, I've only ever been close enough to the stage to even THINK about getting a stick or pick ONCE. So yes, I would treasure anything that came from one of the members of RUSH. It would be a rare treasure indeed. Only valuable because of my nearly lifelong adoration for these particular musicians.
Same EXACT thing goes for The NY Yankees. I'm a fan of theirs even LONGER than I am a fan of RUSH. I've only been to a game probably half as many times as I've seen RUSH. If I was lucky enough to catch a foul ball by a New York Yankee, I would treasure anything that got hit my way. Only valuable because of my nearly lifelong adoration for these particular athletes.
Why, because I am an adult, am I not allowed the same excitement as a child? The thought of such a once in a lifetime catch thrills me just thinking about it...how. freaking. cool. that would be! I reject the notion that I should not be elated by my prize, simply because I'm a grown up.

I almost posted my reply without quoting this. I scrolled up and saw it just in time.
EXACTLY!
Sorry guys. But I have four kids at home. If I'm at a game without my kids and I catch a ball, THEY are getting it when I get home. Not the little shit sitting behind me who looks like he's about to cry. Sorry pal, your loser dad should have caught the ball instead of me.
A foul ball will never be worth that kind of money
We're latching onto different parts of Queen's post. You're focused on Jeter's 3000th, and I'm focused on that I have a kid too. I'm not worried about the kind of hit it is. If I catch a ball at a park, I'm taking it home for my own children, not handing it off to someone else.
However, I'm also not going to wrestle it out of child's hands or push one out of the way so I can catch it instead of them. I'd rather see someone's kid catch a ball before me. But if I catch it, it's going into my pocket and coming home. I don't care what people around me say, or what comments the announcers might make, or what video pops up on YouTube with 500 nasty posts about what a dickhead I am.
I realized I made a mistake, that this was about foul balls and not caught balls in general.
I was just about to write that I might give a kid next to me a foul ball, but it didnt ring honest. I'm keeping the ball. I'm 42, the kid is 6? 7? He'll have more shots at it.
Like Pags I wouldnt wrestle anyone, much less a kid, for a ball. But if it were a special HR, and I missed it? I might pout too.
