Old towne? Off topic?
And you have pet penguins now?
Not getting it.
Mr Stagger Lee
It was the Pacers who shit the bed, can somebody in Indy tells me WTF?

Chin up, you could be a Flyers fan.

@maeve: These guys, I think.
Be easier if Cole included the ‘Sports’ tag, but he probably figures that’s the default around here.

You may or may not like hockey as a sport, but you have to admire how well those motherfuckers can skate.

OK, yes, I’ve been out drinking beer with the husband, but I’ve checked three times now, and I swear there is something gefux00red with this site. I know that AL’s post about the torturer was put up maybe last night or early this morning. And what happened with Betty’s green tomato post?

Cole will wake up and fry up a fucked up and cruel tomato, green pepper and cheese omelet.
Ash Can
@ulee: I’ll take that omelet over server problems any day of the week.

Did cleaning today. Dust bunnies that would have been at home in Night of the Lepus.
I did find half a vicodin under my keyboard though.

The world is indeed fucked up and cruel. But glorious news tonite from Yemen:
Hearts & Minds, baby, Hearts & Minds.

@MikeJ: Found that which was lost in a dream.

The Dodgers’ bullpen woes continue, but we got the win over the Diamondbacks. Glad for that. MW3 all night tonight.

A little culture for you guys- that music video for Dvořák – Symphony No. 9 Allegro con fuoco.

Eh, my Blackhawks shit the bed twice already in OT against the Blues. And within two minutes of the 3rd period.

@RobertDSC-Power Mac G5 Dual: I thought for sure the A’s were going to lose one to the Astros this aft., but they came through in the bottom of the ninth.
Karma dictates that Houston will make a comeback around 2020, humiliate the rest of the AL West, and, like Tampa Bay, win it all. Only the Cubs are capable of a level of consistency that keeps them from bouncing back after more than a century.

I wouldn’t say they shit the bed in OT. The Penguins got outworked and outplayed in three of the four full periods, John. They were lucky the game even got to OT.
Does that make you feel better?
Anne Laurie
@Ash Can: Yeah, the current pagefront is… not what it should be. Test: Global bananas.
Looks like you can still access Friday/Saturday posts by clicking thru from individual posts, one by one. Messing with the dashboard is well above my pay grade, and I wouldn’t give much for the chances of anyone who does understand FYWP to be reading their email on the Saturday night before the Easter holiday…

was just sitting here watching Ten Commandments (family tradition) and trying not to feel like I’m going to hell for lusting after Yul Brynner as Ramses even though I’m rooting for the Isrealites…lol
I mean come on only a dude with Beaucoup swagger could basically wear a sheet and skirt and still be all manly and hot and junk..lol

Yeah, well, they’ll come back, no sweat.
I joined that hockey contest over at LG&M and I’m not getting any points from my forwards, such as AHEM! Chris Kunitz. No points from my goalies either. Tons of ice time, no points. Only my D men are keeping me off the ventilator. Sheesh.
@efgoldman: Every time you think it can’t get stupider, they prove you wrong!
Your mistake, O wise one, was in thinking there is a bottom to stupid. There is no accounting for stupid, there is no bottom for stupid, stupid is a black hole where you can never reach bottom but are eternally transfixed on the wrong side of the stupid event horizon. There are many routes to getting things correct, but the goal is specific delimited target. There are an INFINITE number of routes to the wrong place… because there is an infinite number of wrong answers.
@ronin122: Eh, my Blackhawks shit the bed twice already in OT against the Blues. And within two minutes of the 3rd period.
Neither the Blackhawks or the Penguins played badly that I could see. They just lost. Shitting the bed is what LA did in that game against SJ.

@lamh36:
omg, Yul Brynner was teh hawtest.
As for Heston, a pretty boy who couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag — meh.
MikeJ
@Anne Laurie: Can you edit DougJ’s post? Look at it in source view and take out the bit about the twitter widget right after the two atrios tweets.

@lamh36: Oh, and damn that Nefertiri…sending Ramsey off after Moses to basically die.
Ain’t that just like a woman sending a man off to fight some dude cause he done her wrong. And then her new dude getting da beat down. Then when he comes back all beat down, she scoffs at him again…sheesh.
Woman…amirite fellas…lol

@lamh36: I’ve seen rather a number of actual men in medieval tabards that would cause me to drop and forget my vicodin.
lamh36
@efgoldman: yep. Brynner acted him under a table…hell, Anne Baxter as Nefertiri acted Heston under the table.
Shoot, she def held her own against Brynner as Pharaoh. When she was all…”Do you hear laughter Pharoah…”…she def played cutthroat and conniving woman REALLY well…lol

@lamh36: I was watching it too. I watch to see the special effects, especially things like the fog of death. The Disney studios did work on the movie, among things they created was the fog of death.
lamh36
@scav: Oh, I’m sure, but for the time for the film, I’m wondering if the film producers purposely mad Brynner’s skirts MUCH shorter than Heston. At first I though that Heston was just taller, but then I noticed that Brynner’s skirts were even shorter than the other “noblemen” from the film.
I mean did they run out of fabric for Brynner’s costumes or did some enterprising costume designer see those legs and arms on Yul and think…hmmm short shirts and short skirts only for him..lol
CaseyL
@eemom: He didn’t need to act, just strike a pose and declaim :)
Thing is, though, Heston was terrific as Cardinal Richelieu in the 1972 version of “The Three Musketeers.” Kind of funny that he did a better acting job playing a villain than he did a hero.
lamh36
@PurpleGirl: I do like to watch old movies like these and others in the last what…50 years of film to see how the special effects hold up.
I am still in awe of the effects from Superman with Chris Reeves. Even though I know it was all ropes and harneses, the scene when he’s flying and circling the Earth and he puts his hands at his sides and turns along the curvature of the Earth still make me smile.
lamh36
@CaseyL: lol…he really did strike ALOT of poses in that movie…lol. I always wonder how long it took him to do that thing where her essentially flips that sheet over his shoulder and walked away (from this scene: You Will Be My Wife)
I’m betting he either just had the grace of movement to do it or it took like 2million takes…lol.
Oh, and I still say “…let it be written, so let it be done..” and my lil sister has NO IDEA what the heck I’m taling about…lol

@CaseyL:
Yeah….funny that…

@lamh36: One can indeed hope there were some very contented clever consume designers that sold the idea to the higher ups as “All that short stuff — Totally re-enforces the decadence of Egypt Boss, sinful, sinful, deserved all the first-born frogs and boils and poorly targeted tornadoes. Trust us on this.”

@MikeJ: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

In the ongoing war of industrial farming v. bees, chalk up one point for big ag.
http://www.sacbee.com/2014/04/19/6338235/beekeepers-search-for-answers.html#storylink=cpy
Nice work, guys. Is there any point in noting that without bees, there’s no almond harvest and that basically all the nation’s bees are already trucked here in spring for almond pollination, so there’s no bullpen? Didn’t think so.

Warriors beat the Clippers in LA without Bogut.

@CaseyL: professional wrestlers will tell you that it’s often more fun to play a heel (bad guy) than a babyface (good guy). I suspect the same would be true for actors as well, especially in action type movies
KG
@Bob In Portland: the Clippers are still, deep down, the Clippers.

I was flipping channels this PM and started watching Hoarders on TLC. I’ve never watched this show before. They had an unmarried couple who lived together. The middle aged guy was unemployed. The woman was on disability getting $700. The woman appeared to be the hoarder and the man was putting up with her because her income was the income coming into the household. The man seemed came across as a bit of a jerk expecting her to pay for all expenses out of her measly $700 and yet insisting the house was his and his alone. Anyhow, they got to the part where the professionals are helping them clean and throw stuff and they’re being nasty to each other. Then there’s a scene where the man looks through some books and exclaims “Okay that’s it. Its war now! She scribbled through all my Ronald Reagan books.” I had to laugh. I seriously doubt Ronald Reagan gave a crap about people like him and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s blaming Obama for his current situation.

In the English Premier League, title contenders Chelsea lost to bottom-of-the-table Sunderland 1-2. If Liverpool FC win today at Norwich, to finish on a high note the week marking the 25th anniversary of Hillsborough, they move five points clear of Chelsea at the top.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho’s been having a sarcasm fit about the ref. Yes, Jose, the refereeing was truly dreadful, but it was Chelsea’s poor finishing that cost them a winnable home game. And it was just dumb luck, not the fates screwing with you, that the Sunderland player who scored the winning penalty is on loan from Liverpool.

@Amir Khalid:
I wanted to punch Mourinho in the neck. Like Chelski has never been on the good side of a shaky call.

After last night’s disaster against the Rays – New York’s bullpen got so shellacked they had to send out a shortstop to pitch the 8th inning – I’m pretty sure a lot of Yankees fans are jumping off the East River bridges…
Too bad about the Bolts’ playoffs though. Montreal is just pwning them right now :(

@lamh36: If you lust after him in Ten Commandments, check out The King and I. I think the scene where he dances with Anna (Shall We Dance?) is one of the sexiest dance scenes ever. She’s wearing a dress the size of Rhode Island but he’s shirtless (and shoeless).
Talentless Hack
And they lost to COLUMBUS. The city that begs the question, why can a half-assed hockey city have an NHL team, but a city nearly the same size full of rabid basketball fans like Louisville can’t have an NBA team.
