This is the non-game Gameday Thread. No discussion of the actual game will be permitted, and any comments reporting on it will be deleted without warning. General baseball topics, other games and even team-related issues are permissible, as long as they do not relate to the evening's events. Here are some possible alternative topics for discussion.

  • Tattoos. Would you get one? If so, what and where? If not, why?
  • Injuries worse than a fractured testicle.
  • Hottest people in Hollywood
  • Most and least favorite foods.
  • What is on your iPod?
  • Favorite video game - arcade or console
  • Barry Bonds: antiChrist or D-backs savior? [Ongoing...]
  • Have you ever walked out of a movie mid-showing? What movie and why?

I think that should be good enough to start with...

What if

Yusmiero Petit is throwing a no hitter in the top of the ninth, but the game is tied – IOW the game is not over. Can I mention it here?

by Diamondhacks on Jul 2, 2008 8:30 PM EDT   0 recs

HAHA! It was a trick question, right?

Because you’re not supposed to mention a no-hitter anyway!!

Today we were watching a DVD of The Reduced Shakespeare Company, and they did a puppet show during “Hamlet”. And the puppets started in with “manah, manah”. . .

Funny!

Reduced Shakespeare Company? Really?

I saw them do the History of America in 90 minutes once. Very funny.

Ooo I like this idea (as it is usually what I do either way)

On my iPod right now is a lot of stuff. (Seriously, I have an almost full 160gig iPod. A lot.) But I am mostly listening to Jonathan Coulton, cause he cracks me up. :)

I'm making a triple, not a curtain call.

Jonathon Coulton is pretty funny- Re: Your Brains is hilarious.

I’ve only got a 1 gig mp3 player, because, let’s be honest, it’s a good excuse to keep swapping around music. I think right now I’ve got Flogging Molly, Flobots, Covenant, and a random mix CD I downloaded.

Ooo! Flogging Molly! Greatness!

I love having literally every CD I have ever owned with me all the time. Mostly cause I am crazy neurotic. ;)

I could see the advantage in that. The wife and I are planning to buy an external hard drive as our next purchase, so we can copy all our CDs to that, and clear up a lot of hard drive space on our desktop.

Of course, we’ll be more careful than one of our friends, who moved a lot of her files (music, videos, her portfolio of lighting designs) to her external hard drive in order to organize it, and then promptly knocked it to the floor, breaking it.

Ouch

On the day of the wedding one of my friends knocked my bag off a decently tall perch and busted my 120gig back up. I didn’t notice for like a week. (It was kind of busy.) It did give me an excuse to buy a 320 one though. ;)

Is it okay for me to mention that Dan Haren was the June NL Player of the Month?

by TwinnerA on Jul 2, 2008 9:03 PM EDT   0 recs

Yes

It’s not about tonight’s game, so it’s okay.

And I’d say it’s well-deserved, as well.

"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"

by kishi on Jul 2, 2008 9:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not bad for the D’Backs. Webb was pitcher of the month in April and now Haren in June. I think Aaron Cook got it for May.

by TwinnerA on Jul 2, 2008 9:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Awww, how nice.

The MLB felt bad, so they gave the Rockies a pitcher of the month.

Also,

I am a girl, and know nothing of it, but I am just going to make the assumption that nothing. NOTHING. is worse than a fractured testicle. I flinch at the idea.

Childbirth? Don’t have kids but from what I’ve heard it ain’t no walk in the park.

by TwinnerA on Jul 2, 2008 9:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

People say the same about kidney stones

But I say that most of the time you get something you WANT out of a birth.

Kidney stones are full of fail, and sustained and in the end all you get is a shiny rock of salt.

I'm making a triple, not a curtain call.

by mrssoco on Jul 2, 2008 9:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’ve worked with one woman that said there was no way she would go through childbirth again after her first even though she had wanted at least 2 kids and I had another co-worker that said it didn’t even hurt when she had her 3 children. I guess some people just have a higher threshhold for pain than others.

by TwinnerA on Jul 2, 2008 9:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

My mom had back labor with my sister

Which from her account was 100 times worse than the ‘normal’ labor she had with my brother and myself. I am a little um… Petrified? Of having kids… But still want them. So I guess I just try not to think about it too much. ;)

8 weeks recovery time! And they cut you OPEN. EEP

I would much rather one day of pain then 8 weeks.

It’s a tough recovery at a time when you want to be able to move and hold the baby and so on.

It's like living with a six-year old.

by 4 Corners Fan on Jul 2, 2008 11:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, childbirth is really really ouchy, but they give you drugs if you beg, and you get minutes inbetween to catch your breath. Not that that helps. But, yeah, a healthy baby is worth it all.

I would give kidney stones a vote, too. That stuff hurts. And they don’t give you drugs!

But wow, now knowing what his injury is; how could he stay in the game.

Tattoos. Would you get one?

No, I have other means of self expression, thanks

Injuries worse than a fractured testicle.

Two fract….oh never mind

Hottest people in Hollywood

I dont know any of the new chix. Sophia Loren used to give me uncontrollable boners. Emma Thompson’s voice gets me all hot. Halle Berry and Natalie Wood are/were pretty as hell. And Elizabeth Taylor, when she was young, was – head to toe – the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.

Most and least favorite foods:

I’ve had a real craving for brussel sprouts lately. Some butter, salt and pepper. Nice. I’ve always loved paella – and most seafood too – grew up in New England. The food I hate is pretty much anything manufactured by Kraft, Hormel,etc – and also Oroweat Bread. That’s some shitty, shitty bread.

What is on your iPod?

I dont have an Ipod

Favorite video game – arcade or console

I dont know the meaning of the word “console”

Barry Bonds: antiChrist or D-backs savior? [Ongoing…]

Neither.

Have you ever walked out of a movie mid-showing? What movie and why?

Yes, inspired by Roger Ebert’s observation that “if nothing has happened in the first reel of the movie, nothing will happen in the second”. I dont remember the titles, but remember feeling independent and alive walking out on self indulgent crap.

OK. I’m done

by Diamondhacks on Jul 2, 2008 9:04 PM EDT   0 recs

I have only walked out of one movie

And I wouldn’t have, if not for my friends being total brats. (It was Pearl Harbor, btw.) I figure I paid, I will sit out the torture. I sat through Napolean Dynamite for that theory though, so yea. It does bite me in the butt sometimes.

Sorry to hear about

Napolean D. I rather enjoyed it, and in fact, used to style my hair just like his, circa 1975.

I consider him a very cool guy.

THE MOVIE HAD NO PLOT.

I would have liked the character a lot more if there had been a point.

I think what made it worse for me is

I went with like 8 people who did get it, and I was like, “Bzuh?”

I was told I should watch it, and I just didn’t find it worth the time. Meh.

The town I lived in when I was in Utah was about 20 minutes from where Napoleon Dynamite was filmed, and I will say this- the costuming and dialogue made a lot more sense after living in Cache Valley for a while.

Even though the awkwardness

of the characters was pretty out there, I could still relate to them. Shy people wasting their lives away, thinking really small. Far from a classic, but for an inherently silly little flick, i thought it was based in more reality than it’s sometimes given credit for.

by Diamondhacks on Jul 2, 2008 9:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Waaay more funny

afterwards. When you’re watching it, not so much.

Tattoos. Would you get one? If so, what and where? If not, why?
Oh, I would like to get a tattoo but I am a total chicken about it hurting! I would probably get a shamrock or something cheesy like a Celtic design incorporating my childrens’ initials.

Favorite video game – arcade or console Currently I am hooked on “Collapse” which I know is a baby level game.

Have you ever walked out of a movie mid-showing? What movie and why? No,I never have, and it’s only recently that I have just turned off DVDs that stink.

iPod—Kelly Clarkson, Jim Brickman, some stuff from musicals, The Shins, Toby Keith, The Wreckers, Trisha Yearwood. Randy Travis.

Most favorite Food?

Hands down, not even close: Empanadas !!!!!!!! Que Rico!

and I am not talking about the dessert ones at Taco Bell. I am talking about the ones filled with shredded beef, onions, potatoe, olives, and peppers, then deep fried to a flaky brown. The host family I lived with in Chile would make them every Saturday night…

Recipe is a little different from the ones I had in Chile.

I have looked all over Arizona, but cannot find anywhere where they are served. I guess in more of a central/South American treat than it is in mexico.

Yup!

Though we tried Mexican food in Puerto Rico (don’t ask) and it made Macayo’s look like we were in central Mexico.

I might just go to the store and make myself some generic tacos. :)

Cheese tots good too.

Mostly good when drunk though.
