When weary, rest

Mike:
Now comes Autumn's dusk,
The shadows rake and lengthen
— a hero tires.

Wow, some great stuff in the comments here today...just as I need to take most of the day off to actually deal with work. Such a shame.

So, Mahty and J.O. are cool in my book. They usually understand the oft unspoken boundaries of posting on "the other team's" website. Of course, Mahty, I gotta bust your balls for today's post even though others already have. Not just for the whole postseason numbers thing, but because you forgot who you're talking about.

A-Rod's abilities shut down on September 30th and he becomes sub-par at best. No way he'd maintain 1 HR / 2.9 Games into the post-season. Best luck next season.

//Oh Bob, not worried about you biting, more worried that I'll inadvertently find myself on the fifth level of drinking, across the state line in a bar with guys who have been in prison as recently as that morning, screaming "We're driving to Florida!" before passing out.//

Oh, so you want a really tame night.

Fell asleep watching the game, J.O.

I missed all of the tennis yesterday. By the way, tennis on the radio? Not so much. I never thought about how crappy it would be until I was trying to listen to the early match at work yesterday...

Ugh...even Geffner would be an improvement on that experience.

Aint that a bitch, yaz? In a constition course. The prof throws people out on a daily basis if he think they're full of shit. Half of the time, they aren't.

The Angel Hernandez of academia.

Kaz, tennis on the radio? Sounds almost as bad as women's basketball on tv.

[Bob]

Tennis on the radio?

Yikes.

That's like an audio book of braile for the deaf.

[Scott]

Bob,

What brand of la Fee Verte did you imbibe? Do you do the whole process with the spoon and such?

[Bob]

Scott, my brand of choice is Zele.

And yes, I do the spoon and lighted suger cube bit.

The stuff is pretty frigging bitter without it, plus it's a fun little ritual.

[Kaz]

Hero Tires?

[BobsLiver]

Help!!!!!

[Bob]

It screams all the time. I no longer hear it, what with the kidneys and their constant whining.

[Billy Mahty]

Very good point Kaz. A-Rod has given no reason to have faith in his postseason performance.

[ParkerStPete]

I hear Sen. Craig has the Hero Tires factory photo on his office wall.

Hey everyone, we've got a long weekend down here (today, Friday, off). It's because your fabulous President and a bunch of other 'dignitaries' are in town for an APEC meeting. Yesterday, a bunch of scamps from a television programme breached the security by driving in a convoy of cars flying the Canadian flag:

The Police and Foreign Minister said it wasn't funny, very serious etc AND proved the security worked because, ultimately (when a man dressed as Osama Bin Laden emerged from one of the cars), the plodders arrested 11 people. On the other hand 86% of Herald readers thought it was funny:

More than just a red sox site for sure.

Natalie - in re Bob being 'fairly normal'- don't you believe it baby.

Bob's liver - hang in their buddy.

HB nailed the haiku - what can I say?

Oh, and the last line of my Oki haiku was to be:
'Gagne, where T F'.
