Bullpen

I know I've reached "get off my lawn" age, when this type of thing happens and the first thing I think is "well doesn't surprise me considering this generation." This kids hooning around highways in the hoopty-hoops, and taking the selfies using the selfie sticks and the, flippity floppity with with the flim flam (I went to far didn't I?) Anyway, get off my lawn you scallywags!!!!

Exactly like the report says, I was NEVER a threat to the students, it was those dad-gum smurfs that I was a threat to!!!! Blue little sonsa... GAH!!!! Please people, check your fire alarms in your building, you never know when you'll find an infestation! *I was wondering when my turn was coming to the named in a topic. Takes about a month of being back it looks like.

Agree with you 100% John. She was annoying the holy hell out of me when we were watching it. The new "stay in the house Carl" meme is going to be "get off the radio Alicia" Also not sure if there is a more imasculated male character on TV then ol' Cliffy. I'm giving this season a fighting chance, but they have to develop and "undumb" these characters (with the exception of Strand) quite a bit.

My first realization that he was in fact still employed as a talking head was during the riots in Illinois and I about shat myself. I honestly thought at first he was some "legal expert" with a coincidental, but unfortunate name, then I realized it was in fact HIM. Sometimes I feel like the big network news channels have no self-awareness whatsoever. On topic: I loved the show on FX because to me it was so over-the-top with the acting of Cuba, Travolta, et al. The first two or three episodes I was cracking up because Cuba was basically screaming all his dialogue and Travolta throughout had this air of "flamboyance" or something I can't put my finger on, but it was awesome. The 30 for 30 looks like it's going to be fantastic.

Love it!!! I forgot all about that quote, I've got to start working that into my rotation again.

Yep, I would too...

What is goin' on in dis here thread?!?!?!!

I asked 'em if they personally knew that wacky muppet that tossed food around all the time and had real human hands.

Agreed, they're both probably decent guys. I just happened to be the only "official-looking person" around that they could direct their frustration at. The spot the USGA had me standing was up on a mound directly behind the tee box, so I was quite visible to everyone on the second hole. Second thread jack alert: The other one who got the maloik that week was Francesco Molinari. I'm up on top of my little knoll behind the tee box with the yellow paddles that indicate to the spotters down the fairway which way the tee shot is going, so they either know to get out of the way or get ready to mark the ball. Waving the paddles straight up and down means center cut drive in the middle of the fairway. Then you have slight left/right, more left/right and then dead left or dead right (aka: watch yer lips it's comin right at ya). Molinari hits his shot and it and starting to fade a little left. (in my head:) Damn that's headin' a little left (indicate slight left)... nope that's going towards the waste bunkers (indicate a bit more left than originally planned)... awww hell no, that's headin for Palmetto Rd and my spotter is gonna get brained (holds paddle parallel to the ground meaning dead-ass left). Molinari, understandably not pleased, reaches down to toss his broken tee aside or something and catches me out of the corner of his eye motioning dead left. Stands up and without saying anything but with his eyes, "you little emm-eff, son-of-a- bang, son-of-a-boom. Don't show me up with your stupid yellow paddles." Again, not wanting to forfeit passes for the weekend, I politely hold my signal until I see the spotter is now marking the ball and signal the "all clear." I stare at him from behind my sunglasses thinking, "ya dumb guiny, I'm not the one who caught a case of the snap hooks on the second hole of the first day of the tournament. Go find your freakin' ball and take your medicine and try to salvage par." Good times...

I put the maloik on him back in the summer of 2014. I was working as a spotter on hole # 2 at the US Open. Part of my job, as we were working on a par five with a fairway crosswalk, was to signal to the marshalls down the fairway when to close the ropes so no one else would walk into the fairway while players were preparing to hitting their tee shots. Darren Clarke, Els and Louis Oosthuizen finish on No 1 and I hold up the signal paddles to tell the marshalls to close the ropes. Just as Clarke puts his tee in the ground a group of three duck under the ropes and start across the fairway. Ol' Smiley Clarke turns around and stares at me along with Els (Louis seemed unfazed). Els says (paraphrasing) "C'mon man do your job. Get the ropes closed." Not wanting to forfeit my passes for the rest of the tournament, I say nothing but I sarcastically put the signal up again to close the ropes while security escorts the fans off the course. I put the jinx on Els and Clarke that day and just like that, the yips rear its ugly head. ... that or I had absolutely nothing to do with this?

Truth. Both? Seriously, I know high school is a giant petri dish of gossip and hearsay, but can't any of these young men keep a lid on it and wait until after they graduate to brag to their buddies?

http://fittish.deadspin.com/cop-asks-jogger-to-run-on-sidewalk-arrests-her-when-sh-1769882525 I can understand some people don't like running on sidewalks because they're often uneven and pose a tripping hazard, but this woman comes COMPLETELY unglued! The pitch she reaches at the height of her hysteria is deafening (or makes me wish I was temporarily deaf).

Yes.

This was awesome!!! Love that. (I did not cut and paste this response.)

Still a little salty over me being called the thinking man's Beerball huh? Enjoy the Candy Corn I'm dropping in the mail today!!! Nice and stale, just like you like 'em, numbnuts!!!!

Sorry to see you go Mead... And I just came back into the fold and now you're leaving. Who's gonna take over wishing everyone a happy birthday?!?!?!

He opened a course many years ago here in southern Colorado and I had the chance to meet him. He was exactly as you said, class act all the way. That being said, in interviews I think he kinda comes off as a little smug. Gary's never shy about telling a "how great is Gary" story. A few years ago in 2008 he was on a crusade to break Arnie's record for playing in the most Master's. When the media asked Arnie about it that week, (and I wish I could find the link), his response was classic Arnie: "Who gives a s&%#?"

Oh sweet Hey-suse!!!! How this would play out in the Bullpen house: Me: "Yeah, honey? Hey I ain't comin home... ever." * much better than the dragon post from earlier

Saw the rest of the subhead and closed the link. Not even interested in seeing that...

Yes I would and I agree society is so focused on labels anymore. I mean just look at DC Tom, sooner or later, he's labeled all of us idiots.

Christ, Pooj... methinks that guy/gal got out the ol' "jump to conclusions mat" and decided to use it to determine that this child will most likely be condemned to a life of despair and utter failure all because of Tom Tom and that damn Colorado Springs Zoo (that I used to frequent often in the 90s when my son was young.)

I love how Abby just keeps the terrorism going on her brother. She ran out of #$%s to give and just keeps ratcheting up trauma.

I like the variation on the term "idiot." I know I wasn't the only one who thought Charlie Brown or Gumby.

Colorado is the exact same, in a "not really cool at all" kind of way. It's considered a mortal sin to not think this state is the greatest and everything about it is perfect and better than anyplace else in the world. The lack of self-awareness drives me nuts.

What if Public Enemy wanted people to embrace the power?
