A guy on our high school team would always freak out the other team the first time he did one. Of course, he could throw it just as far without flipping (which was a freaking mile), but it wasn't nearly as cool.

Yeah. These are always cool, even when they don't result in a goal. That said, that goalie should have had that second header, which had absolutely nothing on it.

I just don't understand the rationale behind forcing people to throw in with two hands. Is it a way to make sure that the game is always about the foots and not the handses?

Local ingredients. When you order chicken nuggets there (suppose you are seven years old, or traveling with someone who is), you get pieces of a chicken that recently lived nearby, not something frozen and processed.

If I know my adder he is already only eating at free trade local vegan restaurants, so your explanation doesn't explain the difference.

On Naxos, every restaurant is local, and they don't have any of that other stuff.

got that- my post was saying adder only eats at local places so that alone doesn't explain why the Greek food was so special to him.

Not Bob Expresses a Possibly Unpopular, Yet Unoriginal, Idea Episode CXXII.
 
I agree with the sentiment expressed by Paul McCartney and Wings in 1976 in "Silly Love Songs.

A younger Not Bob was more in the John Was The True Artist camp (of course, pretentious Not Robert pretended not to like the Beatles at all, claiming that in the transition from Hamburg teddy boys to clean(er) cut young Englishment, Brian Epstein had turned them into capitalist tools who further whitewashed music). Now I sing "what's wrong with that?"

Does this mean I am old? Hopelessly middlebrow? Both?

I got you, Hank. Maybe because I share your mental image of young Adder as a locovore ("wait a second - was this chard really grown on the St. Paul side? It really seems more Minneapolin").

Speaking of Greece, have I missed it or have the headline writers for financial journalists simply missed the opportunity to play off of "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks"?

It depends. Lately I have been listening to the Sirius station 1 above Coffee House. It plays hit songs by big singers. Example: if you listen for 2 hours you will hear Taxi and Piano Man. I listen because, while I wouldn't chose that music at least it doesn't make me want to puke, and every other station plays too much shite. If you are listening to this type music for a similar reason you're fine. c.f. buying tickets to see McCartney or Billy Joel.

PS I hate the Beatles.
PPS we also need to hear GGG's thoughts on the issue. I believe Patti Smith wrote "Pissing In A River" about time she spent with him?

Locovorism (locovarianism?) has always sounded like a luxury possible only in California to me.

Apple Music
 
It took me forever to figure out how to add music to a playlist. I assumed Apple would have made this easier. Alternatively, I am an idiot.

Ironically, it's a luxury in California only because of the Central Valley Project and other water diversion programs.

A bunch of wussie millennial associates are now, apparently, in charge of the Nixon Peabody asylum. Next thing they'll want is Sunday afternoons off. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/...f32_story.html

The corner offices aren't really that important anymore, and this keeps the junior partners in check. As long as I keep the corner table at the Taj and get FC seating when I travel, I'd just as soon keep the office as tight-pack as possible.

The Post should focus on more important things, like why San Jose doesn't have a FC lounge for domestic flights.

what is FC?

And all the front walls are glass? Won't that cause an uptick in partners getting in trouble for worktime TCB? Won't it make it harder for Flower to have "dates" throw themselves at him even though he didn't ask?
