For those who know something about prostitutes
 

So, around the corner from us (Hi TM! That means me and the BF!) here in our Nation's Capital (and for those looking for services, we're talking 11th and K) I have noticed that when I'm coming or going around 5-6am in the morning, there are tons of prostitutes working the area. I never see any at 12, 1,2....in the morning. Why is this? At first I thought it meant that they were only working ridiculously odd hours, but then someone suggested to me that maybe this was their slow time and I don't see them in the midnight-early morning hours because they're busy off with their johns. Another person suggested that maybe it's when guys can leave the house early claiming they are going to work out the gym or something. I, personally, have no ideas.

Can anyone shed some light for me on why I only see prostitutes on our nearby street corner at like 5-6 in the morning? I would ask them myself but they usually have men with their car windows rolled down talking to them.


Thanks in advance!

The Capitol isn't open yet?

Thanks, folks! I'll be here all week!

What an ass wipe to think that this needs to be announced.

body question
 

an IT guy just fixed my Outlook. He was in my chair for, like a minute and a half, tops.

But the seat is noticably warm now. do some people lose more heat from their ass than others? I fear he is ill.

Re: body question
 

Taco Bell for lunch is better than heated car seats.

Re: body question
 

that would explain a local hot spot. this is generalized heated seat.

This little tidbit tells us that Hank has decided to forego the Aeron chair look, opting instead for the leathered upholstery which goes better with mahogany paneling.

Unfortunately, this choice of opulent luxury carries risks, including when the IT staff serve as extras on the set of 28 Days Later.

Baseball Question
 

It is illegal in baseball to scuff or otherwise alter the shape/surface of the ball because it may allow the pitcher to get crazy movement when using the modifed ball.

That being the case, why are pitchers and catchers always in such a damn hurry to have balls that have been hit, foul tipped, or slammed into the dirt taken out of play? Couldn't these damaged balls be used to the pitchers advantage?

Re: Baseball Question
 

Not all of them are. Many junkballers try to keep them in play. The umpires try to get them out of play. Sometimes it's easier just to give the ump the ball than to try to keep it in play.

Also, baseball is a sport full of superstition. If the ball was hit hard, most pitchers don't want to use that ball again.

Full Health Insurance Coverage
 

I am enjoying full health insurance agains for the first time in over 2.5 years (I carried a catastrophic-only policy for that time) because my part-time employers wanted me full-time during this likely 9-month travel lull. I had the dental work-up this morning (medical is on Thursday, vision on Friday) and was reassured that the economic downturn has not hit the dental industry because he found I needed no additional work. Carry on.

Re: Baseball Question
 

I don't think that's true. I think most pitchers would love to use any ball that has been scuffed up badly. It gives any pitch, even a fastball, movement.

Re: Baseball Question
 

I think the rule is that they have to replace them and they try to stay on the umps' good side by volunteering. At least some umps actually inspect the balls before throwing them away. I've seen them put them back in their pocket to be thrown in after the next ball is lost.

My question is, how come they replace the ball if it hits the ground before the catcher catches it or is foul tipped at the plate, but they keep a ball hit in play in the rotation? There has to be more damage done, especially on those high choppers. I've seen balls stay in play that are screaming line drives, caught on a short hop in the dirt at third, thrown across the field and short-hopped by the first baseman as well. Makes no sense.

Re: Baseball Question
 

precision fastballers only want movement when they (and the catcher) expect it though, don't they? it's also possible a scuff could slow the pitch down a little maybe?

Re: Baseball Question
 

I don't think they're in a hurry. They know the umpire is going to take the ball out of use -- in the catcher's case, they may be talking about it with each other.

A truly awesome football week
 

Texans win in an amazing two minute drill that results in a touchdown.

Patriots lose on national television, schadenfreude (bonus: I won my fantasy football matchup, because Randy Moss had a shitty, shitty game).

Tony Romo breaks a finger, out for four weeks, making every Dallas hater (including especially me) elated.

and now,

Pacman Jones is suspended indefinitely, causing Dallas further pain.

The football gods love me right now.

Aha!
 

The Romo injury might not be such a bad thing. The offense will be more disciplined. Plus they just added Roy Williams to the receiving corps.

But maybe this will keep you on that football high: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HE9OQ4FnkQ (A literal interpretation of Aha's Take on Me.)

If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

The Icelandic national team (soccer) is a lot of fun -- three players named "Siggurdsson" are in the starting eleven, and all three play fullback.

When I was growing up, if we wanted a Jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

Iceland is a lot of fun, period. Probably even more so, these days. The economic collapse is just another excuse to party.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

Exactly. And hot Icelandic women may be even more eager for you to buy them drinks. If you are into that sort of thing.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

My friends were actually contemplating a bachelor party in Iceland. We think it's up to us to lead Iceland away from the bjrink of bjankruptcy.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

Do you happen to know what sort of jacuzzis they can afford now?

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

This is your bjest wjork.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

Oh, ha ha. Iceland = Bjork and Bjork = Iceland. You know, the country is not so unidimensional. It's not like the Sugarcubes are the only band ever to come from Iceland.

There's also Sigur Ros.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

The hot springs in Iceland can smell a little sulphur-y, but they're free. Maybe they just smell because Burger farted all over the country.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

I seem to remember from high school that Icelandic women will turn around and bite a guy's head off once he ejaculates. high school was a while ago and it is possible I mashing up one thing from geography with something else from civics or some other class, but if I'm right that means you will mostly have to do doggy style if you go there AND be ready to leave even quicker that normal after you're done.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

Siggurd was a monster on the field and off.

Not to mention Emilíana Torrini, who skyrocketed to fame as "the other kooky chick from Reykjavík."

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

I don't ejaculate. I think it's base.

Re: If you can ignore their economy's collapse.
 

And Gus Gus, which skyrocketed to . . . um . . . you know, they're pretty famous in Iceland. That Torrini chick is all over the local college radio station. She does not strike me as all that kooky. She is pretty clearly a chick, on the other hand. To the extent one can be pretty clear about such things.

Kenley, you arrogant idiot. You go to where you are in spite of defying Tim, not because of it. Good collection, but your attitude will do you in.

Korto, cute stuff, but is almost everything monochromatic? Cute kid.

Leanne, you are on a huge fashion stage, and you show up with hair and glasses that make you look like some chick studying for finals in the library at midnight on a Saturday night. Or what I imagine those chicks look like. Not sure what I think about the same colors over and over.

Prediction: Not sure. Maybe Korto.

Bravo.

Who could foresee that Iceland would be the source for this veritable bonanza (or wellspring, if you will) of best-material posts?

Question I've been meaning to ask
 

. . . and now that they've dropped in polls, won't get a chance to:

Why is the University of Georgia's fight song based on the Battle Hymn of the Republic? Was Sherman's march to the sea that effective?
