Get Ready To Throw Up

Disney announced that it will purchase Marvel, owner of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Iron man, and others.

So in case, like me, you were tired of comic book movies, get ready to have them stuffed down your throat like only Disney is capable of.

Disney created a franchise with Cars. In case you pleasantly missed the Cars movie, let me give you a recap. It was a movie about personified Cars, and it was miserable. Still, Disney managed to hype it enough to get kids to not only watch the film, but purchase Cars bedspreads, napkins, tote bags, shower curtains, bath sets, hoodies, Cars live events, car shows, toys, towels, chairs, pillows, water bottles, bags, rugs, sleeping bags, valances, silverware, night lights, toy chests, blankets, musicals, Cars on ice, and much more.

So, get ready to get so much retarded comic book movie action shoved down your throat that you will choke on your own vomit after trying to throw up while Disney wasn't done cramming Marvel comics down it.

I started home brewing again, and I must say I really enjoyed it.

This is what Pat, my old roommate Kurt, and I brewed on Sunday

Belgian Dubbel

beechwood aging

I am having trouble finding a good long brew spoon like the one we had. Do you guys remember how long it was?

I think it was 20'', but those are hard to find. Which means the one we found was really special.

it looks pretty cool.

Camels

I know I just posted, but I'm lonely and upon looking at news on bing, I found this caption under an article.

"Thousands of camels in Australia’s remote Outback could be killed by marksmen in helicopters under a government proposal aimed at cutting down the population of the havoc-wreaking creatures"

note: "havoc-wreaking creatures"

Salsa

I am extremely interested in making salsa. If you could post a recipe you really like or some tips. It would be much appreciated.

I want to start off simple, not because I don't think I can handle it, but more as a proof of concept. I have been looking at some recipes online, and I am happy at the world that awaits me.

TV

So I don't get the cable tv channels anymore, including espn and the local arizona sports network, but I do get WGN and WGN HD now. I am about to watch the Cubs game in HD 60 miles north of the mexican border for free!

The Steinburger

So, I was in Michigan about a week ago visiting my sister when my mother told me my older brother was in the process of tying to get financing to open a restaurant.

It's going to be a burger restaurant. She asked me if I knew what he was planning on naming it and I said, "The Steinburger?"

She was shocked that I knew the answer.

I am pissed and have been too angry to confront the backstabbing brother ever since.

Foreign Exotics

How much does the spare key cost?

Like Daft Punk.

The way I see this as music is probably how old people view computers.

Capital_Prototype Beat Up By Girlfriend

My new thing is to ride a bike while walking my dog in order to tire her out and drain her energizer bunny-like amounts of energy. After I biked the dog I put my bike away and got her some water inside, at this time I asked my girlfriend if she would like to walk around the block with us, thinking the dog like humans would benefit from a cool down walk. Well, girlfriend had just finished making a sandwich and seemed busy and since the dog started to lay down on the ground I said forget it and left for the walk.

So then later a quarrel ensued about something or other but then the funny thing happened. Girlfriend said why didn't you think about calling before and asking if I wanted to go on the walk:

Could you imagine! Riding a bike while holding a dog on a leash in one hand and operating a telephone with the other!

Could you imagine!

Ron Santo/HoF 3 Base (Return)

On page 343 in The Politics of Glory Bill James does address Ron Santo:

I will not continue the argument (I believe that Steinberg has caved already anyway), but instead offer the theory presented by James for the lack of 3rd baseman in the Hall of Fame.

This theory is that 3rd baseman are "half-and-half" players. That is, they are half power/slugging hitters and they are half quick/great defensive players.

The argument is that people recognize that short stops need to be smaller and quicker and their defense is more important. Corner outfielders and first baseman should be sluggers, and people recognize that too. But people don't realize that there is something in between those two standards, and that, James argues, is what the third baseman is. Typically, he should have more power than a middle infielder, but should be better defensively than the left fielder or first baseman.

for rob

not sure if you heard about this but you seem to be interested in stuff like this.
