I'm shocked coconut is misspelled!!

Switched to vinyl Erik? Hi Bob! Well... not exactly "switched"! I have a turntable that's boxed up and put away, but that I've been planning to bring out once my kids were older and I wasn't so worried about them damaging something. That time is about now, I think. So I've occasionally been buying vinyl when something catches my eye (like these Sun Ra's in a local indy/used shop that's NEVER had vinyl before - heck, it's amazing to have a local shop still, even though for the most part their inventory is poor). I've got alot of music from my younger days that's on vinyl, that I haven't gone through in ages (mainly rock stuff, but some jazz), that I'm looking forward to exploring soon.

Happy Birthday!!

Tanya Haden's the one married to Jack Black: And Petra's the one that recorded the Who Sell Out cover album, and the duet with Bill Frisell:

Charlie has triplets (Petra, Rachel & Tanya). The one that plays bass is Rachel...

Bruce - I'm sure you'll make the right decision regarding your options, and then fight the good fight. As Yogi Berra said, 90% of the battle is 50% mental.

Or maybe the package went by truck through France, and the driver was scared to cross over the bridge at Millau...

Sounds like a Brothers Grimm fairy tale! PS - Corkestra AND Bjorkestra in one night?

Happy Birthday!!! WD40 times 5:

I'm not sure I get where you're coming from. Chacon was a starter, and didn't pitch real well. They moved him to the bullpen as a result, which upset him. He wouldn't warm up when called upon, and then threw when he wasn't supposed to (or something like that). Cecil Cooper (his coach) tried to talk to him, to no avail. He got called into the office, and refused to go. So the GM comes down to the player's cafeteria to ask him to come to the office and he refuses. The GM directed him to go to the office (in either a calm voice or yelling, depending on who you believe), and Chacon assaulted him. A couple days later the Astros release him and he clears waivers (meaning nobody wants to touch him with a 10 ft pole), and now the Player's Union is filing a grievance that he was wrongfully terminated. What part of that makes GM Wade an idiot? He did the right thing.

I think you have the names backwards. Chacon is the player, Wade is the GM who fired him. Chacon assaulted Wade before he was released. Here's Wade's version of what happened: Chacon sounded disgruntled, but never should have resorted to physically assaulting Wade. He deserved to be released after that. I don't think he or the Player's Union have a leg to stand on in this particular case with their grievance.

That makes no sense. You don't think they already use some of their profit and reinvest it in their business? HELLO! That's going on already. Everybody in this thread gets that - not sure who you're referring to. The difference is the demand for gasoline hasn't gone down as prices have gone up, as they would for corn flakes and nice shoes. Can you show me where it says that in their business plan? Or a contract they signed with the U.S. government? Where it's their DUTY? Even if they did everything within their power to "help out the country in times of crises" right now (by eliminating all profit from their business), your California gas price would only go down from $4.56 to $4.20. So the major problem of high gasoline price still exists, and now you've created companies that can't sustain their business or attract shareholders any longer, ultimately putting people out of jobs while still paying high prices at the pumps. ...

Agg's fault! Sorry, back at it then!

though if that means I get to see more Candice Parker on my local Fox Sports channel, that wouldn't be a bad deal.
