Desipio Message Board

Finished this book last night, not sure if anyone else has read it.
I felt somewhat obligated to read it, versus genuinely interested in doing so, but it's a decent read overall.

I don't hold Mockingbird up in some exalted space, so I wasn't offended by the evolution or revelation of Atticus as not quite what we led to believe that has seemed to plague many readers.

I don't think it stands alone that strongly, but as a companion to Mockingbird, I think there's some merit. 

René Angélil, Celine Dion's husband, dead at 73.

On the board.

First Bonnie Franklin, now Pat Harrington (aka Schneider.)

:(

Not a good movie.

I've never seen Monsters University, but this one goes with Cars 2 in the worst Pixar movie category.

Lennie Merullo, oldest living Cub dies at 98.

I'm sure a couple points are to be rewarded, beyond me.

Pretty glad this dude is here.  

He deserves a thread.

23 Ks and 1 BB in 25.1 innings so far.

Field of Dreams does not suck. Y'all can go straight to hell.

But let me tell you about Draft Day....

So, it turns out the Draft Day doesn't have its own thread, which is a fucking crime considering how much SBox love it got prior to coming out.

Cinemax had a free preview on DirecTV this weekend and while I was looking for some stuff to DVR, wouldn't you know it, there was Draft Day.  My elation was immediate and probably can't be overstated.

Watched the first part of it Monday night, while putting up an effortless 6 miles on the treadmill because I was so engrossed in the sheer absurdity of every minute. 

Originally I planned to watch the rest of it Tuesday night, figuring there were another 5 miles left in it, but I couldn't wait and watched the rest of it Monday night. 

I don't want to ruin it, because everyone needs to see this movie.  But, if you want to talk about this movie, I'm ready to talk about this movie. 

Basketball player, Lauren Hill.

Dead at 19 from brain cancer.

I'm guessing he's not going to miraculously show up and submit his keepers. 

He might enter them into the system himself, but seems doubtful.

Assuming he doesn't show, should we take the 5 keepers I assigned him earlier and give him those, or just have his team draft without any keepers?

Let's just decide and then finalize this.

Sam Simon, Simpsons co-creator. 

Lots of points going up on the board. 

Also: Simon Says "Die."

League has been renewed with invites sent to all of last year's teams. 

Draft date has been tentatively set for Sunday, March 29th at 8:30 pm Central time (there aren't a ton of great options available for times on that day.) 

League settings remain the same.
Keeper deadline is a few days prior: March 26th.

As usual, everyone will be made co-commish so you can enter your keepers in the system.

Or post them here and I will do it for you.

Not sure if CD has his big spreadsheet of keepers and rounds, but feel free to post if you do.

Stuart Scott, 49.

With apologies to John and Paul...

Joe Cocker, dead at 70.

What the hell did he say?

Wait...what?

Okay, so I have to purchase some used Nintendo DS games for an 8 year old girl.  I don't know shit about this.

Any recommendations on:

1. Good games
2. A place to buy used games

P.D. James.

Alas, pretty sure I picked her last year.

Jan Hooks, of SNL fame. Dead at 57.
