JP and I just met Eddie Cicotte! He was walking (presumably down from one of the hotels on Nob Hill) down Mason to the ACT.

Hey, I read about him. You are famous now!
I think you mean Ira Lowenstein.
Is this really front page material?
asvd
Heh….that’s funny.
But he got me a really sweet deal on car insurance.
The funny thing is that you tools still go over there…
I didn’t realize that wasn’t allowed.
Yup. Also each entrance into a new FK thread must be made with an insult. The rules are strict around here.
Awww, he called people here tools for talking about Nico’s ongoing hypocrisy when it comes up. Isn’t that sweet?
Much of the meta over AN had died down here for the most part, but you’re naive if you think it’ll never be talked about when there’s something obvious like this.
Funny thing is your posts are approved and not deleted here, and you’re free to post whatever the heck you want, as long as you’re willing to deal with the pushback.
I spent two years and many, many hours writing for them. Why wouldn’t I have a vested interest in seeing how it’s going from time to time?
there have always been crossover folks. when something good or stupid happens, it gets passed along. SOme people look, some don’t.
I did.first time there in a long time.
The story was interesting, something I would post, certainly not make a diary though. The problem is Nico’s comments were missing.the.point.again. that is what made it notable here.
this.
So this sub-thread may be go over and check the hulabaloo, so my ** quota for the quarter is up. Anyway, here’s what struck me: a thread addressing meta can’t even get up past 72. Nobody gives a fuck, I guress.
This, and Toonces closed the thread to comments.
Oh, ok. Well, back to forgetting about its existence.
this. it was effectively slayed. Everyone is here now and the converstation is better.
Do I need to know what the FK you guys are talking about or do I still have a chance at a complete life without the knowledge?
It’s not really worth getting into. Nico decided to wallow in self-pity and a couple people thought he wasn’t following through on his resolve to re-focus his site on baseball talk. The llama has it in proper perspective above.
Given that you originated the Toonces meme, you may at least be amused to know that the pity-post was about crashing a car.
A rental car, no less. You have to laugh.
Wait, to be accurate, it was a rental car his insurance supplied to him after his own car got dinged up a little.
Yeah, but Batgirl and I got to see him act.
Speaking of: the plot definitely tried to do a bit too much (and the sniper character was just too weird to drop in at the end), but it was also quite powerful. Also Strathaim was fantastic. “We are starting to see the train at the end of the tunnel”
I was out the minute they cued up the Supertramp.
pfft…big deal…..I just shared a hot tub with Bob Geren and Vince Cotroneo.
I hope you added plenty of chlorine. Because ick.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be dead within the hour.
bed!
My wife just watched an episode of some real-estate show called “Selling New York” in which Bob Melvin and his wife bought a condo in NYC.
They had to black out the obvious “Athletics” logo on Bob’s windbreaker on the videophone segment.
At least he’ll have a place to go when he gets fired.
His wife’s a total fashionista… she’s got taste.
I’m no expert…that’s colin and elcroata’s department…but I’ve gotta think that having your Antarctic research station burn to the ground is a pretty major problem.
Man, that sucks a lot. They are pretty paranoid about fire down there… it might be cold, but it’s also super dry and we really don’t have much water on hand.
We had one fire emergency while I was at pole this year, but it turned out to not be a real fire — there was a glycol leak in the power plant and it filled the place up with smoke. But the fire team was all over it. Also, even when there is no emergency, fire drills are roughly an every other day occurence. I can still hear in my head the voice that broadcasts over the PA system “There is a fire emergency in the … raydome. In the … raydome.”
How awesome was it to have the relocated-south A’s new retractable-roof stadium named after you?
It was never the same after the Rose Bowl crashed into it.
It took me far too long to get this. Well done, sir.
what the fuck is a raydome
It’s some dome where they have a radio transmitter.
Or maybe it’s Ray Fosse’s head.
ouch
Knock on wood, but thanks to massive amounts of zinc, vitamin C, echinacea, water, and SATAN, I think I’ve managed to fend off this nasty throat cold that’s been going around. JP had a couple rough nights, and Meesus Moonkeyball had an awful awful week with it. Same thing IIRC that Family Seat Upgrade had?
I’m into my 3rd week with it.
My immune system is awesome.
I’m pretty sure I’ve got it, but the only symptom is a little discomfort swallowing.
I’m reminded of the old doctor’s aphorism: if you treat your cold with zinc, vitamin C, echinacea, water, and SATAN, you should start feeling better in about a week. If you do nothing at all, you’ll start feeling better in seven days.
As is my wont, I took the “do nothing” treatment route, and this particular beastly strain lasted about two weeks for me.
I belong to the group of people who expose themselves to as much illness as possible to build up my immunity. I’ve been illness free thus far.
What about poison? Cup of hemlock with your breakfast cereal?
Ive been building up my tolerance to iocane powder for years!
at which point i’d like to sing a little verse to the tune of jj fad’s “supersonic”…
now party people may already know what mythridratic means
but i didn’t to dwell on it ’cause poisoning is mean,
so even if you know that rising tolerance is bilogic
when a suicidal dosage doesn’t kill you say, that’s mithridatic.
boom. boo-boom-boom. mitridratic.
boom. boo-boom-boom. mitridratic.
gah!
didn’t *want to dwell…
Brokered convention trial balloons.
there have been quite a few stories like that on Yahoo… maybe I should link them even though they’re Yahoo stories…
It’s only Feb. 26, more than a month left in the college hoops season, but it’s hard to imagine there’ll be a better exchange of buzzer beaters than those which concluded this Cal Poly Pomona vs Cal State Dominguez Hills game yesterday.
I like this writer Hamilton Nolan, who I know mostly from his boxing coverage. In a similar vein, here he spends a couple days at the Beverly Hills gifting suites, where companies give away expensive shit to celebrities in a quest for PR success by association.
Also:
Oooh I look forward to reading this. We get hit up for gift bag contributions at least a dozen times a year and it pisses me off every time.
I thought the whole Hollywood subplots thing on the Sopranos was pretty stupid, but the swag scenes with SBK were pretty funny.
