If the sox are going to win it I hope they do it tonight. I don’t want them ruining Halloween.
5-0.
Might have been posted here already but have you seen this?

Hope her house gets egged and tp’d.
In hell the Giants and Sawx alternate WS titles.
I must be a very bad girl.
Yes.
The jury is in already?!
They didn’teven leave their seats. Just lookef at each other and nodded.
My name is Sisyphus (aka “A’s fan”) and I’m appealing my verdict.
My.name is rio. I dance on the sand
I knew it because of your cherry ice-cream smile.
I have finished carving my pumpkin. Thank goodness there’s not a baseball game going on to distract me from my task.
Usually I go for more exotic facial patterns, but this year I chose a more classic triangle-based look. On a awesomely funky bumpy pumpkin. Very pleased, will post a pic in a moment.
Bumpy pumpkin…bumpkin:
Alit:
ooooh. Creepy bumpy pumpkin- yet cute in the dark.
Nice!
I have2 days of homework to demand the boys finish
It must be rough on you.
Motivationis, “you don’twant to be doing homeworkon halloween?”
Thought I posted this already but if you’re a last minute Halloween shopper try CVS. In my area it had cheaper candy than any other drug/grocery store or Kmart (I don’t have a Walmart nearby). $1.88 for a bag of many good ones with card. This is your PSA for the night.
Getting good candy is crucial. Fractions of a penny more to make a kid happy with a Snickers or Reeses than to disappoint a kid with off-brand hard candy. And you raisins people can go fuck yourselves.
We are going out of neighborhoodagain this year for that reason.
I’ve got Reeses, Snickers, Kitkats and Starburst candy corn. Come on by!
I love you.
We have full-size Snickers and Reeses (along with alternatives for those lacking in taste) because we only ever get a handful of kids. Although I don’t actually want that to change.
I’ll be there in 20.
8 kids so far, most of whom chose some sour thing. What is wrong with kids these days?
I’m pretty sure most of us grown-up FKers will be at the supermarket tomorrow loading up on 75%-off Fun Size Butterfingers.
The next Josh Hamilton Appreciation Night isn’t until May 30, is there room to store them until then?
<3
we have lots of good candy left. where are the kids tonight??? :(
The pace of kids has matched our candy supply pretty well so far. Mostly done now except for the occasional group of uncostumed 15 year-olds holding open backpacks for candy.
it’s been beyond mellow here tonight. even with our giant row of skull lights and my awesome witch costume. sadness!
We have 53 pumpkins and gourds on our porch!
trade you!
Driveway Follies as good as usual, and the street it’s on is just the right length to trick or treat afterwards.
I was tempted to kick up the arse the kid emptying out entire bowls of candy outside empty houses into his pillowcase.
As with most things human, I pretty much assume that anything requiring everyone to moderate their actions for the common good is doomed to failure.
we did commercial merchants on 24th (and treat street homes), then went ot a friends neigfhborhood where the good stuff is.
our buckets overfloweth.
I’ve got me. Naked. I chose Trick this year.
Fellow cat lover… hmmm. I’m tempted.
Kitten food has higher calories. Go to an adult food and it’ll help with the chubbiness. My eldest had a similar problem. She LOVED the kitten stuff, but we got her weight under control from the switch. Just do it gradually and the little one will be fine.
I’m guessing you didn’t read the post below about not feeding him kitten food any longer. Or this is code to wait until I’m skinnier to trick at your door on Halloween. You know, I didn’t say I would be naked too.
Boo.
Raisins are “so low it doesn’t even register on the equipment.
Last year we ran out quickly and many kids were disappointed with our soutwest airlines leftover peanut packs.
Should i stop theo? He has found some slot machinegame on his kindl that he usingfor tiempo libre
@critter: is it a PSA. With GUITARS!
It’s a PSA- now with more nougat!
Do you ever feel like someone played pinball with your brain while you were at work? Today.
No, but I did feel like I was playing pinball with your brain today. ooo- bounce plays off of neurons get me lotsa points!
I hate training new people at work. My girl I was teaining today went straight to an ortho clinic after school and isn’t familiar with certain things we do in hospitals anymore. So I was training her to do my job, plus covering the full ER during lunch. My patient load was a possible heart attack, possible stroke, hypothyroidism, and a drug seeker. My brain melted.
She suggested physical rehab for all of the patients?
Everyone got a cast on an extremity.
At one point I said, “stay right here for just a minute. Yell if someone starts to die.”
I’m sure that was helpful. I’m not used to a full ER load so I panicked. Dr. Asshole was being an asshole today too.
Scrubs move
“stay right here for just a minute. Yell if someone starts to die.â€
Actually that’s the best thing to do when you’re taking care of everything else and the other person is clueless. Throwing someone in the fire is not advisable when lives are at stake. I think you did good.
It’s been 2 years since she has started an IV, so she couldn’t even help with that. After I discharged my patients I made her sit down and start IVs on all the nurses on break. It’s not as easy as it looks.
I got an IV no one else could get this weekend. I was pumped. I’m was the newest nurse that tried.
You could probably do one on me in the winter time! I’ve got Reynaud’s so they constrict a lot.
It looks easy?
That’s what an ex said about doing a thoracotomy on a bloated goat (that got bloat because he kept letting her roam free). I had what was basically a stick goat drawing in a vet manual. I couldn’t do it and she died. I still feel bad.
Actually a rumenotomy. oops.
My nursey BFF J and I like to watch procedures like thoracotomies on youtube… only they’re in third world countries. People don’t wear glovea. They have dirt floors and no lighting. It’s amazing.
For the last few days I’ve had the urge to make sheet angels. They’re snow angels, but I’m in bed. The sheets feel smooth. Additionally, Fatty McGee over here has had two cupcakes this week and they tasted like shit. I may be going crazy.
My kitten is getting chubby. The vet called back today after my friend took his two girls in to give him the results of a biopsy (just a cyst) so I asked. Told him he didn’t have the round belly worms give cats but he loved to eat and was getting a little thick. He thinks Abraham is just one of those cats that love to eat and hopefully he’ll grow out of it. Poor Abe.
Time to take him off the kitten food if he’s still eating it.
Thanks, but he’s been off for almost a month now. Boy just likes to eat I think.
I like how the ump says “striiiike- eeee!” and that’s about all I like about this game.
THE CARD’S SCORED A POINT!!!! (as my friend said)
Boston police have asked peopleto leave open spaces.
Boston weak
Boston weak- I love it!
HURRAY! The WS is over!!!
Go Raiduhs.
Some of my favorite youtube procedures. Warning: graphic content
Ack! Someone make the video players smaller, please. I can’t see the embed settings on my phone to fix it myself.
I wish I had something like this when Athena the goat died. Or when my boy Elijah suffocated to death- but maybe it wouldn’t have helped him since I didn’t know his trachea was swelling shut. Thought he was choking on something. Of all things a rodent bite did him in.
I am shocked that no one has commented here on Jonny Gomes postgame, on-the-field, over-the-Fenway-PA comments in which — with the most unhappy look ever seen on a face that just won the WS — he took an extended, veiled swipe at Billy Beane for choosing the fantasy of Chris Young’s career WAR over giving him a 2-year deal to stay here.
I would try to type out exactly what he said, but the gist of it sounded for all the world like he was waving the trophy in Billy Beane’s face in front of the whole planet. He did everything but name BB, saying effectively (I’m paraphrasing) that all the sabremetrics and WAR doesn’t give you a man like him, the guy you wanna “go to war with in the playoffs”.
I am too stunned to keep typing right now, did anyone else witness this?
Sorry- I switched to another channel as soon as the game ended. Rather watch Supernatural and American Horror Story than a post WS win with the sux.
As for Gomes? Blip on my screen.
I did, but I didn’t take it that way quite so much. Perhaps I should have.
I sat there stunned, trying not to, but come on it was obvious. He was dissing Beane almost by name!!!!!
It’s nice that a guy who only has a job because of his SABR value rails against SABR.

Since the beginning of the Wild Card era, has there been a team in the lower half of payroll or revenue that has won a World Series?
Marlins?
Didn’t they buy both of theirs?
They did in 1997 (5th highest payroll) but not in 2003 (26th).
In revenue they were 10th in 1997 and 24th in 2003, according to the numbers here, and toward the bottom in profitability both years.
Hmm. If they’re the only ones, then it’s exceptionally rare. Seems to suggest there’s a lack of parity there.
I’m so sick of it not being the A’s.
Next year, always next year. (((lenscrafters)))
Next year in yer Coliseum.
waits for it… waits for it….
I believe you mentioned this in the aftermath of it, but that game four still haunts me. The bottom of the 5th inning, the bottom of the 7th, the top of the 8th, Anderson. Jesus fk’ing Christ.
The A’s haven’t announced spring training schedules so far as I can tell. But the Brewers have, and their first game is against the A’s at Phoenix Muni on Thursday, February 27, so it’s possible that’s the first A’s game as well. I heard Vince or Guy say on the final broadcast that the first broadcast game was Saturday, March 1. Brewers pitchers and catchers report on February 15; again, we don’t know yet when the A’s do, but those of us at Ricky’s tonight watching the game decided that Valentine’s Day was more appropriate for our boys.
So, as I’m posting this around 12:01 am on Thursday, that’s 107 days away.
“And for the first time since 1918 the Red Sox clinch at home!” Who gives a shit? Hey Red Sox, you’ve won 3 times in 10 years. Your long suffering, year counting nonsense went out the window 10 years ago. No one cares whether it was on the road or at home, we just wish you assholes would go away.
they beat the tigers at home last week.
#Lawyered.
Hamilton Nolan agrees.
Especially this:
Endorsed! Though in the defense of Red Sox fans (gross), I don’t think anyone would have even thought about the “first World Series win at home since 1918” thing except that Fox shoved it down everybody’s throat.
I’m pumped for this movie.
We saw this on IMDB over the weekend. The plot is totally ridiculous, but we will be forced to go to it with Spawn1.
First hot tubbing adventure post op. Bets on the stuff I grow on my incisions?
Soaker spent yesterday out soaking, and had a local visitor while I was filling one of the tubs:
Don’t cows make the hot springs icky?
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
Somebody must have a temporary grazing license out there (“there” being Long Valley near Mammoth Lakes; it’s either BLM or LA Dept. of Water and Power land). You do see a few cowpies around but it’s not that big a problem. That was a weird cow that was attracted to the hot water; you’d usually expect them to head down to that lake in the background for their drink. Full soak report here.
I fear things would grow in my nooks and crannies after soaking in that.
Great names for those spots…Wild Willy’s and the Crab Cooker.
that sounds redundant, If you got the water, you got the power.
Then you get the women, if I recall correctly.
I’ve had a rough week. I worked a day, went shopping, got a mani/pedi, massage and a facial. Life is tough.
You earned it, there’ll be plenty more nurse hell weeks in your future I’m sure.
Why are girls so hard to get along with?
Are you seriously asking a (predominate) group of guys that?
Maybe.
Sorry. You must really be desperate.
A little.
I think I’m missing something in my girl startup kit. Why must we travel in a herd?
Strength in numbers?
I’m having a moment here, so forgive me.
No worries. Have your moment.
Naw, I took it elsewhere. Someone got an earful and saved you guys from too much agony.
I don’t know, but it’s clearly something that’s hard-wired with many girls, as i saw just a few minutes ago when I picked up my 12 year old from the party she was at.
They are not
I have more female friends than I do guys.
Yes, I’m straight.
Duh, it’s because the women folk flock to you like stink on shit.
I dunno, in my experience the men who women love are often not the ones women like.
That’s deep.
And strangely true.
I’m flattered you think that but… not really.
this is why my close friends are mostly guys. :(
Hey batgirl! We’re playing Chip “Oregon” Kelly and the Michael Vicks on Sunday…is that enough to get you on board with the Raider Nation?
Is Vick playing? Because if he is and you can sack hin 10 or so times, I might consider it, if only for the bye week.
Vick’s out, but he’ll be on the Eagle sidelines. Maybe one of our safeties will get a clean shot at him on an out of bounds continuation kind of play.
I went to the Red Sox parade this morning. And then took a long hot shower to wash the stink off.
Just had lunch at the restaurant they named after me. Very good, especially the brunch paninis. Pizza is exccellent, not unique but comparable to more pricey places like Pizzaiolo. Full bar, nice open high ceiling space, ample parking at Emeryville Public Market. We went after biking the bay-side trail from E-ville to Albany and back. FSU recommends.
paninis??
licenza di italiano onorario revocato.
merda.
*revocata.
Seriously. Everyone knows it’s “Paninii”
Eggs sunnyside-up, sautéed spinach and onions, tomatoes, fennel sausage, and prosciutto all together in a massive Panini…man, just writing this comment is making me drool with lustful hunger, again.
a panini??? mi stai uccidendo.
1 panino.
2+ panini.
(but yes, that does sound sooooo good. i must come up with a good excuse to visit emeryville today.)
jinxed myself. about 15 minutes after this comment, i ate a banana that gave me really awful stabbing pains in my stomach. barely managed to eat lunch at all. still hurts even. sadface.
:(
you ate the one I threw at you? bad move
3 days later, still have the stomach ache. it’s not constant, but strikes randomly, suddenly, and with conviction. am starting to consider a doctor’s visit.
I had something like that earlier this year, which I too attributed to food (specifically, the Aranciata at Boot and Shoe Service). Lasted about 10 days before I went to doc, she was unable to diagnose, said to come back if it was still a problem in two more weeks. It resolved itself before then.
i feel better just knowing it probably doesn’t have a clear solution.
still hurts. and calling around for a doctor is how i find out today is veterans’ say. sad tummy.
You lost me at Eggs. Really, nothing on that sounds particularly drool worthy.
i love sunny side up eggs. especially if made in olive oil, not butter. yields more crunchies on the outside. thusly:
(ouch. looking at that makes me drool, makes me imagine piles of prosciutto too. yet aches my tummy!!)
I like eggs when they go down, but I spend the rest of the day tasting them. Not worth it.
TWSS
I usually fry my eggs over easy, but I agree about the olive oil. I have gotten into a serious eggs and toast habit over the last couple months and I love it.
it’s a good habit.
English muffins my friend. More crannies for eggy goodness to soak into
Yesterday my boy asked me to make him scrambled eggs with a fried egg on top, because he wanted to let the runny yolk leak into the scrambled eggs. Kid may be a genius.
O_O
want.
oh my god. That is brilliant.
Thanks, and go As.
Isn’t it. Kid deserves a medal.
Scrambled eggs in ham cups that have been baked. Delicious and zero carbs.
Carbs are delicious.
Also bacon>>>ham
MMmm… bacon cup with a melted cheese in it.
You aren’t a fatass, so you’re entitled.
And while that second part is true, ham makes a better cup than bacon.
Or you could do what I did at a Jesa party a couple of years ago. English muffin bottom disk, bacon lined walls baked egg over easy.
Also since moving to LA I have gained 12 lbs
I can’t, though, b/c of the muffin. Though I freely admit that it sounds awesome.
I stopped frying. Poached.
easy. Better.
Poaching is a huge pain in the ass.
have trouble boiling water?
the whirlpool/not breaking the yoke
It’s a skill I don’t have either. I cheat and use a special pan.
I probably do it wrong and cook them too long, but I poach eggs in salsa and then melt a bit of cheese on top, then spoon the whole mess onto some tortilla chips.
yes, I make breakfast nachos. Deal with it. /micdrop
Thanks, and go As.
Sounds kind of like the Israeli dish shakshuka, except for the cheese and tortilla chips.
available at beauty’s bagels.
Oh really…all the more reason for me to make a pilgrimage there. There was this place on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village that made it so good I wanted to cry when I moved away.
huh. it’s not on the online menu, but i’ve had it there twice. i believe it’s oven poached. really good stuff.
and don’t mention macdougal street unless you’ve brought mamoun’s for everyone.
You have no idea how much Mamoun’s I ate.
I had an hour to kill in in South Berkeley yesterday around 10 am, so I decided to check out Beauty’s. 30 minutes of looking for parking and watching the line get longer each time I cirled later, I gave up.
bummer!
Um… is there bacon in there?
NO BUT THERE WILL BE NEXT TIME.
Thanks, and go As.
And then you’ll have won.
This is a really good idea.
It’s amazing. Been kind of a family tradition, every time I go to LA and visit my Aunt/Uncle, we go to Tito’s Tacos for dinner and use the leftover salsa and chips the next morning for breakfast. Also leftover cold tacos out of the fridge are amazing.
Thanks, and go As.
duck fat my friend. Duck fat
I just visited an excellent microbrewery in Bologna:
hmmm. that might just cure me…
I just bet $5 to Win on #4 New Year’s Day in the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile, at > 10:1, based exclusively on daughter Primera’s prediction and no other insight whatsoever, and he won! $50! I will now give up my own handicapping delusions and simply bet the savant picks.
Can I have $5?
In the Classic (post time ~5:30 PDT, NBC), she likes #6, Mucho Macho Man. At ~5:1 that’s way better than $5. Bet the student loan payment on it.
I don’t know what that means.
If you believe that Primera is infallible, go online and bet your entire monthly budget on Mucho Macho Man, and reap rich rewards worth way more than $5.
Only 7:2 now though.
3.5 monthly budgets! She can’t lose!
* should not be construed as guarantee of winning
Wow. Nice!
Hee hee hee!
Did you win?
Yes, won $75 on the day, almost all on the strength of Primera’s recommendation.
Daddy daughter day
I like the 49ers because they’re pure of heart, Seattle because they’ve got something to prove, and the Raiders because they always cheat.
I don’t like the way that episode ends.
Speaking of which, earlier in the week I was ready to make an uncharacteristically optimistic prediction of a Buffalo upset over KC today, but somehow I don’t think Jeff Tuel is the man to pull that off.
KC is who I thought they were. Denver is going to demolish them.
I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter.
MAKE KRISTIN CHENOWETH STOP…PLEASE…
I had to ask who she was.
I have Mucho Macho Man with Palace Malice and Moreno in a $3 4-6-8 trifecta box, on top of Primera’s $10 MMM Win bet.
So what’s there to do in Oakland with no baseball?
Everything else.
This might be happening.
?
Dammit.
In december?
Before or after Xmas? There are some fun holiday things you might like.
First week of December. For ONE day, likely.
That changes things, yeah….we have to do it like the NYTimes “24 Hours in …”. Weekday or weekend?
Most likely arrive December 5 in late afternoon. Concert Friday the 6th, home Saturday morning.
Damn … my freebie Southwest return ticket expires on December 4th.
If anyone can use it please let me know!
what does this mean?
Ummm … I have a voucher for a free return flight on Southwest that expires on December 4th but I can’t use it so I need to find someone who can.
So, in other words, friends fly free.
“Friend” at least, unless two people each go one way.
Are there limitations for dates or places? Or is it anywhere that Southwest flies in the US?
Anywhere SW flies.
Has to be before December 4th.
Some seats on any flight; any seat on some flights.
I love that Mayor Crack Pipe did his presser in an NFL necktie.
Dating from the mid-90s.
LOL it’s a great tie!
This is so cute.
OC@10:
I thought the video was kind of sad. Not much of a party.
I saw some post about “community” and laughed. There’s no community there.
There is plenty of commodity.
I like how there is a 15 second ad before the video starts. That completely sums up that site.
Thanks, and go As.
OOH AND ANOTHER AD AFTER THE VIDEO PLAYS.
hahahahahahah
Thanks, and go As.
It’s a little sad that a FP post celebrating AN’s tenth has only 49 comments at the time of this comment…and that’s counting Blez’s comments, and self congratulations from other FP writers and SBNation blog owners. Oh well.
Don’t they know AN died a couple of years ago?
Including RevFKingHaloFKingFan. Blech.
This says everything
BURN!
HAL is more self aware
Can’t really disagree with that.
“Community” and “wound” are both words in the subhead
If you value your computer monitor, do not go to the “2013 Best of AN Awards” thread.
Just for fun I clicked on the “offseason plan” thread.
Nice to see the guy who runs the site is STILL making beastiality comments. What a POS.
Thanks, and go As.
Is it a black hole sucking your monitor into the oblivion?
It’s sucking my monitor into my fist. Sorry, State of Oregon – some idiots on a baseball blog destroyed your equipment.
There are so many posters there who I think must be the “No, Queen. To make it funny!” kid grown up.
Who are those people?
GoatFker® aliases.
I am struggling to resist the temptation to go there are get banned.
party at my house, let me know if you want to be there and you’re not on fb: friday, 11/15. board game night. potluck food, potluck booze. unincorporated hayward, near the meek mansion. xoxo
How I want to be, but I am in St Helena hobnobbing with the culinarians.
next year i want to be your sexy lady date.
You can be my photographer!
ummm…
New media specialist?
better.
I won’t be “rooting” for Furd tonight but I’d like to see them win. It will make our improbable, glorious, six-lateral Big Game victory that much more devastatingly soul-crushing.
I am so excited and nervous!!!
Hey, just turned on the TV and they’re winning 20-0. I was expecting a Duck blowout.
Though Stanford blew them out in the Gameday sign contest:
We used to say “you can’t get fucked without the UC getting in the middle”
The loss to Utah will be nothing compared to the loss to the sturdy Golden Bears.
I didn’t know Stanford played the Chicago Bears this year.
Boy, a near Callapso but they hang on.
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Where was THAT Oregon all game? Still, very impressive win by a Stanford squad that I thought was overrated. Also, too: Baylor.
