DLD 5/18: can you tell I’m “working” from home today? 91

May

1. Bed bugs are no joke: The bugs — reddish brown, flat and about the size of a grain of rice — suck human blood. […] Those who’ve suffered outbreaks say that the anxiety it induces can be debilitating. Potter said many sufferers tossed out furniture and could spend thousands of dollars on repeated treatments ...

DLD 051509: Victory Cabbage Time 71

2009

Well it looks like Manny did take steroids after all. Looks like Hubble will keep on trucking for a little longer. I just have to say as someone from the land of the Buddha, I am proud of how we manage to pull off mammoth elections in a mostly peaceful manner every 5-odd years. I ...

DLD 051409: Hard Pore Corn 118

2009

Anyone up for some old-fashioned cornholing? (I’ve pimped Andy’s blog and newsletter before. It’s awesome. They also do a CSA veggie box you can sign up for.) If someone (say, grover) wants to do a groveresque down-on-the-farm report, they should use this for a recurring logo/banner: Go chat with Will Carroll and ask him what ...

DLD 051209: The Great Empathizer 41

May

2009

I’m not sure, but I think this is arguing for robot umpires: [He] now proposes to appoint a Great Empathizer who will call balls and strikes with a strike zone that depends on the sex, race, and social and economic background of the players. Nothing could be more damaging to the fairness of the game[.] ...

The New Ballpark Blog has some stuff (today’s and yesterday’s diaries) that’s news to me. Most things are news to me several days/weeks/millennia after they’ve happened, so I’m sure you already know that stuff. That’s the only A’s/baseball-related link I’m gonna put, because if I spend more than a few minutes typing, I’ll get DLDblocked ...

Daily Link Dumpage–It’s April 30th in Japan 92

Apr

2009

Sinceï¿½I’m much too impatient to wait a few minutes until April 30th, I’ve set this to auto post at midnight. It’s already April 30th here. I want a blue name, dernit. Since this DLD is essentially self-serving, I will provide nothing but a link to a blog post that nobody else will care about. -JL ...

This Dailiment Condilink Brump … didn’t suck until all these new people showed up 118

Yeah, that’s right, I’m leading off with not one, but two Barry Bonds links! Fuck you all! Schulman plays clueless, Baggarly comes closer; but I think the reason Bonds refuses to retire is that he’s got a shrewd PR rep, and they’re pushing his HoF eligibility out beyond the realm of fresh ‘roid ire. See, ...

This postgame already sucks 61

Slusser sez: Nomar + Ellis both to DL, an infielder (Patterson?) + a reliever likely up. She makes no mention of Chavvy, but I figger he’s not long for the active list, either. And who knows how well or quickly Casilla and Anderson will recover. Continue to color me unimpressed with Holliday. PoppyEdit: ï¿½If anybody ...

DLD: I’m Good at Titles 162

Apr

2009

But not at fun graphs/graphics, or links, or interesting prose, or damnit I don’t have anything to post. I blame the swine flu. Ok, I just looked around for a little longer. There are no links. None. If you go to **, you might notice that our secret is out… also, fk is criticized for ...

Free Kraut’s brief lifespan, in graph form: FK could use a bit more Other Stuff, so that’s what this is. Plus, I admit I haven’t fully embraced the “Condiment Bar” moniker. While I respect the clever … ah, frak it. Why soft pedal the truth? We’re all adults here. I’ll just say it. I think ...
