  1. Ah, Sunday sunrises...I remember them well.
  2. But, uh, the Googlenet gonna rule the world!
  3. Yeah. I meant to say "don't"...MAJOR my bad...
  4. I mean, I get emotional about the day-to-days, and all that, and I take no pleasure from biteanasty things like Hamilton & Young just going off a cliff for no really apparent reason (well,with Young it might be age, but with Josh, it's all mental), pitchers in general, and all that, but at the end of the day (probably when I'm asleep ), more than anything else, I'm happy to have a local team that appears to be making every possible good-faith effort to build an organization with staying power as a legitimate contender. Not every move will click, not every game will be a gem, and not every season will be Glorious. But nobody dare say that the organization, from top to bottom, is throwing it away (for whatever reason). Once the adrenaline slows down, that's really all anybody can ask for. To just know that, overall, every good-fatih effort is being made, that problems are not being ignored, that mistakes are being learned from, and that preventable failures are not being sloughed off. That's all anybody can ask of anybody, period. I do want to be a "typical" Dallas Cowboy fan, and I do not want the Texas Rangers to become the Dallas Cowboys in theirs or anybody else's eyes.
  5. It is a user's avatar. FWIW, I get no warnings on pages with that avatar. Maybe my protection sucks?!?!?!?!
  6. Found this one today in the H-section of the bought-but-not-yet-listed-to shelves. Good stuff!
  7. Actually, no you weren't. There was a lot of de facto assumption back in the day that he was African-American, especially when he had that big fro with Miles. It was never discussed or wondered about, it was just assumed. And then, as now, life went on.
  8. What's funny, is with his stuff, he could be a very good bullpen guy, on a team trying to make it back to the W.S. but it's all about Roy. Could be, was for a few games, and might still be yet, if he gets his head out of his ass. Plus, Yu is showing signs of hitting Rookie Wall, Holland is not yet back to 100%, not fully (how can you tell? that's the question that might never be answered...), still not enough sample size to know what Dempster & the AL will think of each other...Baby Roy might end up back in the rotation yet, so he needs to keep his diapers clean and fresh, just in case. I freakin' hate pitchers...except when I don't.
  9. Quite the frisky audience!
  10. And their use of pimento-stuffed green olives in applesauce...never have figured that one out. But to each their own!
  11. Earlier thread (with something he actually DID write):

  13. No Myron Cohen? I love Sarah Silverman, btw, and have both intellectual and carnal lusts to know her. Post all the Sarah Silverman video in the world right here, and I will watch it.
  14. http://news.yahoo.com/composer-marvin-hamlisch-dies-68-los-angeles-131751829.html We will not forget. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2sKH8yjVsM
  15. Well, need, no...not exactly...

  18. I've always wondered how much of that article was fact, how much was exaggeration, and how much of it was "the powers that be" making mischief for what was beginning to become a high-profile performance venue for mostly African-American musicians. Is that paranoid? Perhaps. But perhaps not. Not in the DFW area. You can never be too paranoid in the DFW area!
  19. I had various experiences with waitstaff, club bookers, in-house recording studio staff, etc. To say that there was a broad range of skill level would be putting it mildly but on the whole it was never actually unpleasant (except once, when an "administrative assistant" started mocking my stuttering, at which point she learned that most people who stutter don't have any problem with when cussing out an ignuntass fool..probably cost me a gig, but fuck it, ya' know?). It was definitely not a "professionally run" operation in the sense of having well-trained people in well-defined roles executing a well-defined mission, but that might have been as much or more a blessing than a curse, at least short term. Did hear some really weird stuff about the theater company, but, then again, I've yet to be around a theater company without hearing about some weird stuff going on. Guess that's why they call it drama! I think what happened was that the Dallas Morning News ran a really sensationalistic series about the alleged cult activity (of which I'm almost certain that there was some, although you can always count on the DMN to make a thunderstorm out of a stray waterdrop) & Bass's ties to it. After that, it seemed like everything started getting lower and lower key, until there was no jazz at all, and finally it was just another local music joint with sloppy workings all around. Bass, it seemed, moved on to other, less "controversial" ventures, and that was that. But while it lasted in its original glory, it was indeed quite the thing!
