Re: Referral Needed
 

Depends. Is there a small hole in the fence? We might know someone.

Re: Utility Overcharge
 

i'm on pins and needles. i remember Thurgreed said saying you have sex with some sock's wife was old and out of style, but Penske keeps saying it, and saying it. I'm afraid people are laughing behind my back because i don't respond, but if i do respond, then i might be whiffing, like if Penske is being ironic.

I am so confused:confused::confused:

can you help me?

Re: Referral Needed
 

I thought we confirmed last week that this place is sick with not so good patent lawyers.

Re: Utility Overcharge
 

If there is one thing about which I am completely certain, it is that I cannot help you.

Re: Referral Needed
 

We did, but perhaps dtb is smart enough not to visit the PB, where that discussion took place.

All I know about patents is that one should not ask me. Or Hank.

Re: Referral Needed
 

fuck you. lots of companies have followed my legal advice. most are out of business now, but you can't blame me. a jury said so to two of them!

Why did Constantinople get the works?
 

Shea? You can't go there anymore. And Francis, with his FIFO-beer-drinking and frou-frou accessories, is clearly the sort of anal-retentive narcissist that makes for a perfect Yankees fan. Wait - was that counterproductive?

But the all-new Bailout Field is in full effect and I am now the proud owner of a quarter share in some abbreviated season ticket plan that gets me one ass cheek on a seat for two and a half games. And it only cost me $799.95!

Let's go Mets!

Fuck them, actually. My real team won a meaningless game today, which I didn't get to watch, but just reading the match report and watching highlights online made me feel happier than when the Mets last won . . . err, something worth winning, which I believe has not happened in some time.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Good luck getting a mortgage on your house to pay for bleacher seats.

Re: Why did Constantinople get the works?
 

What's the over/under on days before K-Rod visits Dr. Andrews?

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

The weird thing about that whole story is that Sabathia is super rich, just got richer, and still voluntarily chooses to live in Vallejo, California. WTF? I think he can buy the city Vallejo right now with the current contract.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

I haven't paid for Yankees tickets since Aaron Boone took Wake deep. And yes, that makes me part of the problem.

PS - Weed, at Yankee Stadium (that shithole), my policy is LIFO on beer all the way.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Maybe so, but he still makes only slightly more per hour than the Vallejo fire captains.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

the financial crisis? because i think a lot of people around Detroit will be paying for Pistons/Red Wings/Tigers tix for the first time in their lives.

Re: Referral Needed
 

Depends what you're paying to climb the dence. Matt Powers and Morgan Chu are 2 of the best.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Whoever she is; she is impressively globed.

Re: Referral Needed
 

Okay. harvard law, good good. but UG school? Northwestern? hmmm

again Harvard law. but UCLA undergrad?

let's think of other options.

2? yes, that reminds me. I'm sure dtb would like a dual Crimson. but thanks for playin.

Re: Utility Overcharge
 

Please don't unduly stir the pot, but honestly, this thing is likely to have a bigger effect on the Board than the A-Rod-Maddonna thing will have on the Yanquis.

Re: Referral Needed
 

Too bad the haters drove Paigow off the board [sniff], she had PatentGreedy's IM.

Re: Utility Overcharge
 

I'm more coincidental than ironic.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

I guess RT's busy, but http://www.urbandictionary.com suggests "Toaster: noun (plural Toasters) An ethnic slur denoting a Cylon, usually a Centurion, as they resemble 'walking chrome toasters' but can also applied to any other kind of Cylon."

Why I know this when I've never seen an episode of (the new) Battlestar Gallactica, I have no idea.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Purely anecdotal, but I've seen a whole lot of both Sabathia and Johan Santana. Santana is an A+ (man was I happy when he left the AL Central). Sabathia is a B/B+. I had no feelings when he was traded out of the AL Central. He's a good pitcher, but he's not a great pitcher. Then again, like you said, who cares about how much money your team is paying him as long as your team can afford him (and it's not preventing you from adding another critical piece to the puzzle).

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

I have a personal standing order that I don't pay to go to sporting events. There are exceptions, but I usually abide by it. Either the firm pays, or a friend/vendor's company pays. There are too many free tickets out there.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Where are Cylons from?

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Right on! I have a personal standing order that I don't pay for sex, directly or indirectly, although there are exceptions, eg: premium value to be had.

ETA: on a different, for my whole career in the game, I had a standing policy that I didn't enter the Kona lottery. If I was going to toe that line it was with my big boy speedo strapped on. However I am starting to consider a break in that long standing ne'er breached policy. Does this make me a puss?

hair fashion question
 

Actual on topic Q:

I notice that Dan Abrams (nbc) has taken to wearing the well tended 3 day stubble look on his face. Has this look been revived from the 80s? Should I go this route? Serious replies only.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Was there really ever a chance of you qualifying for Kona? It's nearly impossible.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Have I been on ignore all of these years?

True story: Out of 5 seasons where I focused on Kona, I qualified twice, missed qualifying two other times by a total time of 00:04:03. And one year, didn't get so close (I think I was about 30 minutes off the last spot in one of my IM Qs and in the other I blew up-slowest IM ever, 11:40something).

So, yes, there was a chance. I used to think it was a once and future chance, but I am starting to doubt my future, and thus lottery thought.

eta: w-a-t-e-r?

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

I don't remember you saying you actually qualified. Or maybe when you did, I was ignorant of Ironman itself? I probably didn't know what qualifying meant when you initially posted it since I didn't really get into triathlons until 2007.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

I am grateful to IM Canada for providing me a platform that was ideal for my strengths. It's why Canada remains my second favourite county (which I think I have posted) and second choice to defect to.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Because I'm not spending that kind of money on tickets and then beer and food at The Stadium. When I go, I usually get firm seats. And the price of seats has risen because they can sell them for so much to companies. Therefore, I am part of the problem.

TM

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

I guess I was asking with the financial crisis if firms and companies there might reconsider buying tickets.

the big 3 fallout will be fewer companies buying them here. Hell, i heard the PGA may even get hit with the pull out of sponsorship etc.

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Apropos of this, I am probably more out-of-shape right now than at any time in the past 6 years.

I promised myself that I will run 40 miles* next week. Fuck baby steps.

*that's pathetic. I'm setting that as a goal?

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Let's not be crazy. Sabathia is a great pitcher. Santana is a fantastic pitcher. If I had to choose between them if they had both become available last year I would have gone with Santana, no question.

Santana has a much better ERA since 2005 (about 2.90) than Sabathia (3.29), so there's no doubt he's a better pitcher. His win/loss record is better too with probably less run support (66-33 to 63-39). But Sabathia is an ace and we need an ace. I just hope he works just as hard in a non-contract year as he did this past season.

TM

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

Ah. I see. My bad.

I think fewer people are renewing seasons tickets because prices have jumped so much, but our firm is picking up our seats again and I haven't heard the Yankees complaining about selling tickets yet. I would imagine that some of the banks will give up their boxes, but I think there's always someone else ready to step in and buy (although, you would think that if that were the case, they'd cost even more than they do now).

TM

Re: Jewish Hotties
 

I kind of like that mix.

TM

Re: Sabathia to Help Fill Up That New Stadium
 

I'd be surprised if any of them that still exist will. BofA and JPM might not keep all of the boxes they've inherited thru acquisitions, but I don't think that's quite the same thing as Citi not renewing. And aren't there a LOT more boxes at the new stadia?

Did Lehman list it's box/season tickets as an asset?
