Kissing Suzy Kolber comes through again.

Thank you

And thank you for adopting a 1.4 MB image as your avatar, thus displaying it on every page you post on.

It's 1.4 MB? That, I didn't know. If it's costing Dolan money, it'll leave. If not, then I might leave it up to piss you off

And, I'm just going to post so that Tank can see it yet again.

I honestly don't give a shit.  Just read baseballreference.com, fill out the lineup card, don't let the guys lose respect for the staff, win, profit.  Easy.  Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Sandberg getting thrown out of games by ripping an umpire's neck off.  And, if he spends half the time in the clubhouse, that might actually work out, right?  Right?

Looks like the only elimination this week was IAN, who came up short on the always risky "Bye" selection.

I completely forgot about it.  You guys are lucky I'm an idiot.

Didn't you get a warning email from Yahoo?

I'm sure I did, but I never check that address.  My work address is useless since I can't access the Yahoo! fantasy stuff here.  At least I could do it on my phone, though.  Oh, well.  I don't really care that much.

WHY WON'T OBAMA STOP RAPING ALL OUR CHILDREN?

Have you seen the way our children dress?  They're BEGGING for it.

I'm a little wary of the way you talk about your children.

Careful.  You guys are walking right into it.

Did you see this crappy episode? They didn't even decide who got the raises!

So fake.

I want my money back.

I heart this new direction they're going with Jim's career.  He comes across as all serious and confident, but muffs the raise thing and turns into Michael's twin, drinking gin out of a "World's Greatest Boss" mug.

I don't even get why the past episode would be the one to make Weebs hate it.  I also don't get why I've wasted thirty seconds of my time thinking about Weebs' opinion of The Office.

It wasn't this past episode.  It was this season so far, and a majority of the last two or three seasons.  They're playing season 2 episodes on FOX now and the show was much, much better back then.  It all went downhill at the start of season 4.

Why? Because Jim and Pam got together? Let me guess, you're one of those fans of the British version and loved the first couple seasons because the plot was nearly identical and its just "so pivotal" to the dynamic that Jim and Pam keep up their "will they or won't they" crap? There's a reason The Office has changed so much the last couple years, and that's because it had to. The British version lasted a whopping two seasons. The show actually has to evolve and have character development or else it would get repetitive and boring. I'm sure its pisses you off that the show has gotten out of the nice little corner you'd hemmed it into, but believe it or not the plot had to evolve past fleeting glances between Jim and Pam and Jim putting Dwight's shit in jello. Get over it.

I actually never watched the British version until a couple months ago.  And obviously the Jim and Pam thing had to end.  Keeping that crap going is what ruins most TV shows.  I just think that since that point, the show has gone downhill.  Not because of that relationship, but because the entire tone of the show changed.  I'm all for character development, but I just don't like the way they've developed most of the characters.  Sue me.  I think it's stupid that Michael went from being a little naive and kind of a dick who was bad at his manager job, but still seemed to be a fairly competent guy at times (from what I've seen of the British version, that's pretty similar to Ricky Gervais' character), to a lovable idiot.  I think it's stupid that Ryan, Pam and Jan all changed personalities almost to the point where the only similarities between their characters in seasons 1-3 and season 4 was that they had the same names.

I'm not against the reasoning for why the show changed so much after season 3.  A show has to change to keep from being repetitive.  But I just think they took it in a bad direction.  I apologize that the rest of you think it's still awesome and I do not.  Please, continue with the Weebs-hate.

If by this you mean more Daryle, Kevin and Creed, I'm all for it.

Getting off the wildly popular tradition of bashing Weebs' skull in, has anybody noticed Michael's desperation to be reaching epic proportions?  Maybe I didn't realize how bad it was in the previous seasons, but this season (and part of last season) it really started to get so uncomfortable watching him that I couldn't watch.

The Fergie Jenkins bobblehead that they gave out last night looks like Lester Hayes.

They should have given out Fergie Jenkins rosin bags.

Luckily you got this in on time for "September's most retardedly unrelated and asinine comment of the month award"

Yellon called, you're late for your game of "Hide The Bologna".

Daryle's sister is hot.

This show fucking sucks now.  There.

*puts on flame suit*

If there ever was evidence that this show is still awesome wrapped in bacon tits, Weebs hating it is proof in the pudding.  I just made myself hungry.

Some interesting stuff about the weapons that are supposedly added...

"Thumper" Grenade launcher - You don't like nood tubers? Get ready for guys running around with 12 shots of grenades to lob at you, or more, instead of 2 (or 4 if you have overkill).

I am an old veteran of the Socom series, it was just as hated as the 203 punks.

Auto Shotgun - Totally different from the one in COD now that gives you only 4 shots, i think it gives you 12 or more rounds. It will be considered a noob weapon from day one.

1887 Winchester - A good old western shotgun. I hope it punches holes through walls.

The weapons list doesn't seem to have the bolt action sniper rifles or claymores.

EOtech sight -

QuoteHolographic weapons sight provides an unobstructed wider field of view. Achieves an effectively infinite parallax free distance. No magnification

Thermal sight - Snipers in the grass can now be seen, throwing smoke doesn't help you anymore either. If its anything like Socom it will be the most common sight used by players.

Heartbeat Sensor - Pfftt what are we Colonial Marines now? But COD did have radar and red dots to show you where enemies are. I guess this is added to counter act UAV Jammer.

Laser module - In all the games i have played it says it adds accuracy but never acts like its real life counterpart. You should be able to see the laser in certain situations and it can give away your position. The laser should be easily seen in nightvision, much like in the single player missions in COD. Who knows if they can get that to work in Multiplayer.


Perks -

I like the one Death Perk, if your killed 4 straight times you get triple health for 10 seconds. You can counter UAV, activite a sentry gun, call in a predator strike, care package (drops in a random kill streak that can be picked up by anyone) and well if you can get 11 kills in a row you get command of a mighty AC 130 gunship.

I just hope they boot players after 3 team kills like i heard on COD:WAW.

Is this the automatic shotgun:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM-26_LSS  The XM-26 LSS (stand-alone auto shotgun) appeared in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and was the titsteaks.  I agree with Gil.  This game will rock dick.

May 4, 1984, the Oakland A's Dave Kingman hit a ball that disappeared through a drainage hole in the Teflon roof. The ball never came down, and Kingman was given a ground-rule double. The next day, the Twins devised a plan in which, before Kingman's first at-bat, a ball would drop from the roof so that Twins first baseman Mickey Hatcher could make the catch. As Kingman stepped into the batter's box, the ball knuckled its way down, bounced and hit Hatcher in the groin, sending him to the turf. "Kingman looked at me and said, 'What's wrong with you?' " says Hatcher, now the LA Angels batting coach.

I have no idea what the point of this story is, but why the hell wasn't Hatcher wearing a cup?

Point of story: Nut shots are always funny.

Re: Hatcher and the cup: Ever been hit in the cup by a baseball travelling at a decent speed? It'll still make you puke, just won't turn your nuts to puree.

No, whenever I see a ball traveling at a decent speed toward my testicles, I use a different part of my body to stop it.

As a catcher/first baseman for a lot of my baseball life, I can say it's not always possible.

When you're a shitty fielder like Mickey Hatcher, even less so.

Being a catcher/firstbaseman for most of my baseball life, I have to agree with Fork.
