Fooch and I think it's high time for another open thread. Tensions are ratcheting up, and these are always a good way to blow steam off. For those that don't remember this tradition hearkens back to the David Carr Press Conference that never happened. It's a good thing too, since the hilarity that ensued in the 546 comment thread was far better than any possible press conference could've been. Join us below the jump for some randomness and fun.
smiley jr experienced his first bloody lip yesterday. We were at my father-in-law's place and he was chasing one of his cousins when he tripped hard. I'm sure it's the first of many scrapes to come, but so far this is the most minor one. He actually broke his leg last summer falling off the couch.
Anyone an expert plumber? I've got a slow drain in my laundry room that causes water to get backed up every time we use the washing machine. I've tried about everything I can think of and I really, really, really don't want to pay a plumber to come in becacuse I know it will be extremely expensive. I'm guessing that the plumbing is original to the house which was built in the 1950s.
Here's a cool video for gamer fans. Some fans went and made a live action tribute to Call of Duty
New Line Cinema is pissing off Lord of the Rings fans. The movie is being released on HD finally, however they're only releasing the theatrical versions, not the extended. It's a nice way for them to pocket more change so they can get people to buy both. Fans have mobilized and are giving it one star reviews everywhere. Right now at the Amazon page there are a total of 3,115 reviews, of which 2,818 are one star.
Speaking of Amazon if you want some hilarity go to Amazon and read some mock reviews. There's a ton of them there if you want to dig them out, but here are some of my favorites. (The 3 Wolf T-Shirt has become an internet meme now).
Dual Function DesignThis item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.
Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.
Very good if you need to write on paperSince taking delivery of my pen I have been very happy with the quality of ink deposition on the various types of paper that I have used. On the first day when I excitedly unwrapped my pen (thanks for the high quality packaging Amazon!) I just couldn't contain my excitement and went around finding things to write on, like the shopping list on the notice board in our kitchen, the Post-it notes next to the phone, and on my favourite lined A4 pad at the side of my desk.My pen is the transparent type with a blue lid. I selected this one in preference to the orange type because I like to be able to see how much ink I have left so that I can put in another order before I finally run out.
When the initial excitement of taking delivery of my new pen started to wear off I realised that I shouldn't just write for the fun of it, this should be a serious enterprise, so by the second day of ownership I started to take a little more care of what I wrote. I used it to sign three letters, and in each case was perfectly happy with the neatness of handwriting that I was able to achieve.
I have a helpful tip for you that you might not know about - if you let the ink dry for a few seconds you can avoid the smudging that sometimes happens if you rub the ink immediately after writing. Fortunately the ink used in this particular Bic pen seems to dry very quickly

In weird news, earlier this week two women tried to smuggle a corpse onto a plane
LONDON (Reuters) - Two women were arrested at a British airport on suspicion of trying to smuggle a dead relative onto a flight bound for Germany, police said on Tuesday.
The 91-year-old deceased man was pushed in a wheelchair through Liverpool's John Lennon airport wearing sunglasses before check-in staff became suspicious and he was prevented from boarding the plane.
He was believed to have been driven about 35 miles to the airport by taxi from Oldham, Greater Manchester, police added.
The women were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death and were released on bail.
"At 11 a.m. on Saturday 3 April 2010, police at Liverpool John Lennon airport were alerted to the death of a 91-year-old man in the terminal building," police said in a statement.
"Two women aged 41 and 66 were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of death."
The cause of death is not known.
Someone's pot garden must've gotten a little out of control
SAN DIEGO – Border authorities arrested a man trying to cross the border with two mowers stuffed with the type of grass not usually found in machinery. U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested an unidentified Mexican man who tried to smuggle 53 pounds' worth of marijuana across the border on Friday. The man drove into the inspection station from Tijuana, Mexico, at about 5:30 a.m. hauling the lawnmowers in his pickup.
A dog alerted agents and a search turned up 21 packages of pot crammed inside the chassis of the mowers.
The driver was arrested and booked into San Diego county jail on suspicion of drug trafficking.
Tiger Woods is competing in the Augusta Masters Tournament right now and is currently at 6 under par, which is good enough to tie for 3rd. Will he win? Who knows. The more intriguing story for me is 16 year old Matteo Manassero who is the youngest player to ever make the cut for the Masters tournament

What's your Saturday plans?
I’m installing a new washer and dryer today. Got the old washing machine moved out already and will be moving on to the dryer shortly. This afternoon we’ll be heading off to visit my parents.

We had snow on the ground all of last week and the ground is still to soft and wet to do much with it. Next week I’ll be digging up the flower bed to get it ready for spring planting as well as putting together the garden.

Personally I don’t think Tiger wins the Masters—he’s been out of golf for too long but I think he finishes top 3.

You don’t forget how to play, but if you don’t play fairly regularly you can get rather rusty. Tiger not playing for this stretch of time doesn’t mean he becomes bad, but one would think it would take him down a notch.

random ruminations re golf
the object of the game is to take as few shots as possible. Before you start, your score is zero. You can’t get lower than that, so why play??
If you do play (assuming you play 18 holes), you will make a guaranteed minimum of 18 perfect shots. Where else can you be perfect 18 (or more) times in one day? By all means, PLAY!!!!
God invented golf to keep (most of) our egos in check…
God invented golf so we can all dress in ways that none of us would otherwise even consider…
etc, etc, etc.
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
I guess this just doesn't work without a stream of a media trailer?

OK, so this is pretty pathetic
apparently they were at a club in the VIP section and Holmes ordered a woman to get off the couch, claiming he was there first. She refused, so he threw a full glass of liquor in her face.
He’s being charged with assault over that and will probably get a four game suspension.
Meanwhile Big Ben has had two sexual assault cases brought against him yet he’s skating by with no action from the league.

Maia is better than people give him credit for, and in three years Edgar would be able to beat Penn hands down, maybe he can squeak out an upset.

to be more specific
I think Frankie will beat Penn….
by sundaysfinest on Apr 10, 2010 11:20 AM PDT up reply actions
Penn is... really deceiving.
To beat Penn, you have to have more mental than physical tools. Because Penn ALWAYS comes out and flusters people. Edgar is still very young, remember that. He’ll throw a hook, and Penn will pepper him 2-3 times and right then we’ll know if Edgar is mature enough to hold the title or not. Sanchez was a huge prospect, and once the counter hit him, he crumpled and sat there and hugged him against the cage for five rounds.

by sundaysfinest on Apr 10, 2010 11:24 AM PDT up reply actions
It's possible.
Just keep in mind that he’s young. Nightmare is actually very mentally sound, his downfall was just how confident he was in himself, and not respecting Penn. Penn is the best lightweight the sport has ever seen.

by James Brady on Apr 10, 2010 11:27 AM PDT up reply actions
Penn is the best lightweight
To say Sanchez was confident in himself is a pretty big understatement……Edgar just cant get caught up in the takedown attempts…
As for Maia, I respect his 5 time world jiu-jitsu championship, but what good is jiu-jitsu when you cant even get close to your opponent…

It's either going to go like this.
Penn and Silva dominate.
Edgar cracks Penn and Silva still dominates.

about Tiger winning the Masters. I’m tired of all the Tiger talk.
Just Cause 2 is a spectacular video game by the way. With all the hype surrounding the other “AAA” titles out (like the linear GoW3) this sandbox beauty is a blast.
Speaking of weird airport stories, when I was a kid I saw a dude die at the Detroit Airport (and it wasn’t a criminal related death, even in Detroit). We were coming home from Vegas, waiting for the luggage when this older guy about 10 feet from us passes out and falls face first on the luggage carousel. The dude’s face made a sick thud, and when he rolled over I saw the expression on that man’s face that I’ll never forget: “dead”.
Here’s hoping the 49ers take Jimmy Clausen at 13 and Dez Bryant at 17. I’d rather shit my pants than see that happen.

Play GOW 3 more and you will se it is not linear.
There is a lot more to it than running around and killing things, but you would actually have to play throught the game to realize that.
McCourty will do. If the Packers don't take him first... they would.

I'm a huge mythology guy. Initially was studying in theology.
Greek mythos, roman, malaysian, mayan, christian, anything. And GoW to me is a slap in the face to mythology. It’s a fun game, but it’s an utter abhoration to people who really care about Greek mythois

I'm just creepin' my buddy.
He is about the most critical person I know. I should have replyed to his earlier post that actually states him calling GOW 3 linear. It is a little way down so he will figure it out.
However being critical means that if he says “Just Cause 2” is good it probably is.
He likes to rip on things I buy or like just to piss me off. This being indirect, but he said something similar about GOW 3 when I saw him last.

not trying to take away from GoW3
it’s a good, solid game, but you go through the story mode and that’s about it. Just Cause 2 has a whole free roaming world to explore, and many other missions other than the many story. Calling GoW3 linear wasn’t meant as a knock.

Man I can't wait for football to start again so I can eat nachos.
It’s kind of our “thing”, I ONLY eat nachos on gameday and the girlie makes this amazing habanero nacho cheese blend, which I eat alongside of any drink (beer) with a bit of frostbite hotsauce in it.
I love hot things, by the way. For other sporting events it’s generally a trip to a pizza place + a trip to wing stop. Cheese pizza + atomic wings cut up and placed on pizza. Delicious.
That’s just when I feel like being a slob/sports fan though. Every other day I eat ridiculously healthy to balance out my sports heart attack.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I love nachos but I’m usually too stuffed from brunch for the morning games. Jack’s in Fremont ,CA have these thing called Cleveland Hash Browns that ARE TREMENDOUS and are pretty much the breakfast equivalent of nachos.

2. Scarborough Fair (because it’s the first one that came to mind)

Hey LondonNiner
Found the Rugby DVD you recommended at Amazon. Sadly can’t tell if it’s NTSC or PAL. I guess I’ll order it and if it’s PAL I’ll just play it on my computer.

Where is Fooch?
Are the A’s actually good or have these past 5 games been a fluke?
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.
A's
The A’s offense has played well but it will be interesting to see how it keeps up. When Kevin Kouzmanoff is your clean-up hitter, you can’t expect much.
They’ve got very solid starting pitching, and their bullpen is extremely deep. Given that, even with a bad offense, their pitching will keep them in a ton of games. My beginning of the year prediction was 84-78. Not sure how that will hold up.
The big thing with Seattle is that even though the Mariners invested in their team this offseason, they’re not that much different than the A’s. Better offense, but the A’s bullpen is better and the starting pitching will depend on how Cliff Lee is when he gets back and how the A’s young starters move forward.
So, not a fluke because they have the ability to roll out several in a row. Now whether it lasts all season, I’m not holding my breath. But they’ll be in enough games to be interesting most of the season.

Who do you think wins the division?

I’d still say Texas or the Angels. Tonight and tomorrow will be interesting since the Angels will be rolling out Weaver and Saunders.
The A’s could stick around for a while because of their pitching, but unless their hitting shows some consistency (what we’ve seen the latter half of this week), I don’t think they can stay in it until the end. They’ll be calling up some of their young hitters at some point (maybe Taylor, Carter, etc), so that could make it interesting.
Who’s your team?
by David Fucillo on Apr 10, 2010 12:37 PM PDT up reply actions
Angels
Like many other fans I’m really annoyed/angry.
The bullpen just seems to love giving up HRs, Matsui is awesome when it matters less, they’re not stealing bases, and they are stranding way too many base runners.

yeah, i live in california now. san francisco to be exact (that makes too much sense doesn’t it?)
i was only there for the better half of three or four years. all my family live in either london, exeter, or jersey.
i’m partial to fish and chips in edgware, but the kebab is nice as well. camden town kebabs are tasty. no kebab or chip shops in SF though. hot dogs.

kebab and chip shop on some street with bars. open til the bars close… it’d be a cash cow. maybe in some other time. maybe you should.

The “new” Tiger didn’t last long when he started to make bogies,lol
He was caught more than once today saying G D after a bad shot.
Apparently he has not changed at all and it was all just a show to get his endorsments and popularity back. Well it didn’t work Tiger. I hope he never wins again until he really changes his horrible attitude !
but his nike hypnotizing glare convinced you, didn’t it? DIDN’T IT?!

Eh
I don’t know why golfers have to be all polite. If a QB throws an INT we expect a bit of cussing, if a golfer misses an important putt why shouldn’t he get to let loose a bit?

I don’t want this to get into a huge discussion, but anybody else hear about this tweet:
Y.E. Yang is only three shots off the lead. I think we got takeout from him last night.
Bob Griese was asked about the location of Juan Pablo Montoya and said that he was “out having a taco.” He was suspended for a week.
Isn’t the Yang comment a bit inappropriate? I’m generally not a very PC individual, but is it really a good idea to make that kind of comment when you’re a public figure (the guy works for Golf Digest)?
yeah, that's pretty not... smart...
as a bad asian joke (i’m a stereotypical-looking asian guy) i sometimes start my presentations for school or work with “you might remember me from the movie ‘the hangover’.” and when people nervously laugh i say “just kidding… i work at the china-wok…” and that usually is a homer. but there’s a difference between someone making fun of themselves for people and someone poking fun at someone’s race — especially so publicly.
on one hand, people should learn how to take a joke. yang is rolling in cash i bet (i really don’t know, so if he isn’t… sorry?), so saying yang is a take out delivery guy is still funny to some. but on the other hand, the race card + our culture = thin ice. didn’t larry johnson from KC get the boot because of some inappropriate comments he made? case and point, name calling isn’t too professional.

Which is that even if you’ll never play Mike or Ted.

He’s not in the same situation as McClain where his biggest upside is that he runs the show and calls the signals on D.

USA Channel
Anybody else watch some of the tv shows on USA? Stuff like Burn Notice and In Plain Sight? I know there are others as well. USA puts together some really quality tv.
Burn Notice is a quality show.
I don’t know how realistic it is, but it’s still fun so that’s all that matters.
Burn Notice is fun
I’m a big fan of TNT’s “Leverage” too.

What do you think of The Pacific?
I’m a little disappointed to be honest. I’ve actually read the books they’re basing this on (read them before I even knew HBO was doing a series). Just doesn’t compare to Band of Brothers.
