Roy Halladay Will Play Baseball No Longer
The pitcher formerly (and currently) known as Roy Halladay retired on Monday, after shoulder and back injuries robbed him of the velocities and mechanics that he felt he needed to compete at a satisfactory level in Major League Baseball. And really that’s what’s so notable about it, that “satisfactory” for the unstoppable pitching robot we
The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
It is upon us! I thought it was just hail, but then I realized that ice falling from the sky during November is probably considered “snow” and managed to cut short that internal debate before someone got offended. Regardless, I have a need to mail in a post, and this is how I’m going to
A Random October Post
I had a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle this morning, and I don’t think it really improved the quality of my day. I think I probably should have cut out at least one of those components. I think optimally just three of the sausage, egg, cheese, or McGriddle portions at once would have been sufficient,
The Dahk Knight
One interesting video to have surfaced last week (or whenever I wrote up this post) was this footage of Christian Bale’s audition for Batman Begins in what is presumably Val Kilmer’s stinky old suit, hanging out with the always delightful Amy Adams. This is where the Batman voice first came to be, it’s first exposure
Goodnight, Sweet Prince
Yesterday Mariano Rivera played his last game at Yankee Stadium, making his last appearance in front of his hometown fans before heading off to retirement after the season. The nightmare of opposing batters and fans during the late innings of close games over the last 18 years and unquestionably the greatest closer in baseball history.
This Is Still My Favourite Reality Though
On Earth 7, a parallel universe where an alternate version of me has achieved everything I desire in life, I am the second switch pitcher in Major League history to pitch in the modern era, tossing knuckle balls righty and throwing sinister 103 mph heat with late movement on the other side. I will lead
Questionable Decisions
I missed a spot on my neck shaving today. I cannot stop obsessing about it. I don’t think anyone can notice, but in my mind, I imagine it’s all people can see when they look at me. There is a patch of hair there that is longer that the ones around it, and it bothers
Regarding Australian Pulp Fiction
I want to talk to you today about my new favourite show, Danger 5. I’ve only seen one episode, but I’m pretty sure it’s the greatest thing ever. It is a six episode long series that came out in 2012, and it is Australian. So for all you guys still getting all worked up about
I Am Often Easily Shocked And Confused
WHAT!?! There’s a Diablo 3 expansion now? When did this happen!?! Where was the lead up, the crazy hype train that preceded this? Was Diablo 3 just that bad that no one cared? I feel so old and out of touch. HUH!?! Ben Affleck is the new Batman? I went back and checked if was
Today’s Lesson: Racism Is Really Funny
I’m not very good at keep notes and setting reminders for myself. For example, I keep a general ongoing list of links that amused me and just periodically dump them all out here. And for some reason I threw in this article about a promising Lyme disease vaccine…and for the life of me, I cannot
