i heard that growing a moustache knocks about 12 lbs off your appearance, makes your eyes look whiter and certainly fulfills the 'something ambitious in the next six months' quota.

Maybe you should have just done X and not blame the coffee.

Coffee is delicious.

btw, I had very similar feelings on the way home yesterday. I guess a lot of people are off this week, or leaving work early, due to holidays and such. It was good to see groups of young men and women reveling in their god-given right to, well, revel.

Me, I went home to prep a room for painting and to pay taxes. What's more fun: paying taxes or heading to the Bar with friends?

A Yankees hat.

What was X? I think it was writing a will.
Dan K. | Homepage | 04.14.06 - 11:33 am | #

X is something that if I had done it in a timely manner could have really helped me. But now it is absolutely too late.

How about one of those freebee Yankees caps from "Hat Day" with Steve Kemp's number written on it?

Either that or a cap with George Michael's face hand painted on the front.

You wore a Duke Co-Ed Naked Lacrosse hat.

I'm no homo but that feather-haired dreamboat pic is making my loins tingle. It probably helps that the photo is black and white.

You're right to quit coffee. In my lifetime, I've had exactly one sip of coffee (age 12) and one shot of espresso (age 24, hungover). As a result of my temperance, my life is a picture of calmness and accomplishment. Anyway, cocaine > caffeine.

that's an extreme solution; the problem is that you drank the coffee too late in the day. no coffee after 1 p.m. and you'll be fine.

definitely stay away from those wafers though.

X had something to do with taxes or i'm a gay sheepherder.

when the final details of the situation surrounding X have taken shape, I will tell you what it was about.
hans | Homepage | 04.14.06 - 1:40 pm | #

I think I know what X is(was).

Also, Milawukee Brewers hat.

I thought it would be 78 and sunny everyday when I moved to SoCal 3 months ago, too. As I type this, staring at the pissing rain outside, please report back to everyone on the East coast that it's all one big contrived lie. It's been above 65 like twice since January.

A Yanks cap.

Wouldn't it be great if X was something X-rated?

Maybe Hans forgot to give a handjob to a homeless guy, and now that homeless guy is dead.

Hans, the chances of you not having this stuff is about as likely as the Knicks making the playoffs, but just in case.... click below for Paul Westerberg & Replacements: B-Sides, Live Stuff, Non-Album Tracks & Rarities.

enough chatter about the weather (76 in twin cities today) and hats (yankees for froshhatdat) - where the f is trayline 3? weren't we promised that like two weeks ago?

and that 'mats link is fabulous - great to have "if only you were lonely" and "nowhere is my home" on the old ipod. westerberg's intro to the live "bastards of young" is classic - "here's one of our groovy new tunes...and i bet you a buck we don't know it".

i love that...now, where's my trayline, dammit?
Finn | Homepage | 04.15.06 - 1:50 pm | #

i too look forward to chucking all these tunes on the ipod so i can see what all the fuss is about

from today's WP article on the Orioles:

On Thursday, reliever Jim Brower had been denied a win because the official scorer ruled he had not pitched effectively in his one-third of an inning.

Who knew the official scorer has that kind of power? I can't wait to exercise it as official scorer at softball.

great mats link, some stuff I had but lots I didn't. thank you cW for posting it and for overcoming your distaste for HaloScan by posting it again. you may be da man.

trayline 3 has been started...post it on thursday if I will, post it on wednesday better still.
hans | Homepage | 04.15.06 - 10:20 pm | #

PB, just a note on those Mats B-sides. If you ain't a fan, you might want to start somewhere else. I'd be happy to make you a mix CD...

First beer, now coffee

I wonder what will be the next liquid Hans is going to give up...

Gatorade?

Blasphemy!

amazingly, that's the second time Brower has fallen victim to rule Rule 10.19 c (4) that states: "Do not credit a victory to a relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, when a succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team maintain the lead. In such cases, credit the succeeding relief pitcher with the victory."

Balt Sun now: Two years ago, while pitching for San Francisco, Brower replaced the injured starter and allowed one run over four innings, leaving the game with the Giants ahead. Joe Nathan tossed three shutout innings and was credited with the win.
