I'll have to wait until I can see what they're saying on the Hoffman forums; the market for these could melt down if mismanaged.

I think the thread is juiced.

Um. Not to be snide, but better "trapped on asphalt" with the knowledge that one is only visiting the disaster than trapped under a building knowing this is your life. Maybe people have more important things to do than to get relatively well off Americans back to their television sets...

Now you tell me.

I won't say I know how you feel, Soul Stream, because everyone's situation is different, but the pain sounds familiar. I'm glad to hear you're pulling up from that bottom; it's a hell of a place to be. Here's hoping for a more rapid rise from here on!

This really doesn't belong here, nor does the comment I wanted to make about his evil, disgusting person. Oops.

Cocteau Twins Aphex Twin Elizabeth Twining

Cool stuff; I went on a Foundation/Robot series binge a few months ago.

Buster Crabbe Johnny Weissmüller Lex Barker

Well, I think he nails the "knowledgeable fan" attitude pretty well; I'll bet it would be a lot funnier if it was someone else's ox...

Well, my thinking wasn't along the lines of offense. I remember seeing Kingman field, and it was...exciting. McGwire was much better with the glove. As for the second half of his career, I'd pretty much given up on baseball by then. In fact, my main memories of McGwire are of that first, magic season. By the strike year ('94 was it?), baseball was behind me. I completely agree with your assessment of the steroid era as a total bore. Home runs are fun, when they aren't being hit by shortstops fifty times a year or whatever, but give me sound tactical baseball any day. The game was turned into a sandlot joke by steroids, in spite of blindman Goodspeaks protestations. I agree about LaRussa as well. He's either a liar or an idiot. I once had a lot of respect for him; he's pissed that away completely.

That's ridiculous. I remember seeing both play, and there is no comparison.

It's all I use.

That's all I've got in this apartment, and 30 F is warm for this time of year here. I swear, if most of the apartments in this backwater town were in California, they'd be condemned and torn down...

Sacha Baron Cohen George M. Cohan James Cagney

Yeah, I would have put that one higher.

During the time my computer was down this time around, I discovered that I read just as much as I ever did...when the computer is off. A disturbing discovery... Anyway, I finally revisited the Zelazny Amber series. Nothing great, but fun stuff.

I thought it was pretty good, much better than those godawful Rathbone/Bruce dogs. Sorry guys, but the friggin' Home Alone movies are closer to the spirit of Sherlock Holmes than those things.
