For those of you who would like to possibly listen to my radio show “Retro Flash”, with the greatest and no so greatest of the 70s & 80s (and some of the 60s too), here is a direct link to the station’s webstream.

You probably will have to use Windows Media Player for this stream, or other compatible program.
Ciao!
For those of you who remember… I ran the Pickin’ Panel a few years back. Why not try it again?
If you’re interested… go over and join
We’ll only do the regular season because not everyone picks in the playoffs.
Been kind of a boring weekend for me. Just relaxing. Went yesterday to see “The X Files: I Want to Believe.” It was OK, but it probably would have played better as a mediocre series episode. It would suprise me if they will be able to make another film after this one.
Just two more weeks of Probability and Statistics to go… and I’m kicking this class’ ass so far. I’m glad that I finally have a teacher that explains the material to a point where it makes sense… just like being in high school again. You know… that’s the rare talent of a good teacher, a teacher that will take the time to explain it in detail for you, and explain it in terms that are easy to understand.
That’s all for now…
All I have to say about this film is…
Wow.
I have never seen a film such as this. If you love movies even a little bit, you MUST see this film.
I’m going to watch it again tomorrow. UPDATE: That didn’t happen. Just didn’t get around to it.
‘Nuff said.
The bad sides of that game going 15 innings…
1. It seemed like it would never end.
2. We put up with 6 more innings of Tim McCarver’s “expert commentary” than we cared to listen to.
3. Why the hell should this game matter for anything at all? Thanks Bud Selig.
Ugh.
Thank god it wasn’t 2002. That’s all for now.
In a thread on the haven of fanb0i love… golden-road.net… the discussion is about a new Price video game to come out in the future. Turns out several music cues have surfaced via this game. Someone asks for a particular piece, to which one certain BigJon (the programmer of one of the crappiest, buggiest, awful games ever to hit the Earth), says, “Oh, go check out my game, it’s in there.” If that’s not blatant advertising, I don’t know what it is.
And the sad thing… it’s allowed. Screaming, essentially, “Oh, go look at my game, it’s got what that game doesn’t have”. It’s allowed there. Are you honestly surprised?
Thank god for the Invision-ran Game Show Forum, where that shit won’t go down.

So, I’m watching NFL Network and what’s on is a NFL Films show on I don’t know what in particular, and the subject on fat guys in the NFL comes up. It’s one of those tounge-in-cheek films they did in the 1980s.
After the segment is over, the fade to black for the commercial, and what comes on…
..an ad for Taco Bell.
Now that’s suggestive product placement!
Wow, how low can upper management go? Firing a manager that has been rumored to be on the chopping block is one thing. But, to do it at 3:15 AM via a press release? After game one of a six game road trip?
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, “What the f!@%?”
Shame on you, upper level Mets managment. You could have done this with much more dignity than to issue PR in the dead of night.
At least I slept just as good, nonetheless…
(Reading responses on LJ) At least baugh217 kind of expected this, so maybe it’s not as annoying as it seems on the surface.
YMMV.
Edited to include mention of it being a road trip…
It’s not often you see a news story of why something in America actually works the way it is supposed to. This guy is probably glad that he was in the right place at the right time.
