I forgot to mention Manny. Oh, well...

Mike:
Memo to the media: Can you dial back the storm-porn a wee bit?

 

Doug:
Seriously. We're New Englandahs fercrissakes. We don't cowah at the approach of bad weathah – We thrive in bad weathah.

Mike:
Absolutely. Look at Sylvia Plath. Going through a direct hit from the '38 hurricane had a huge influence on her latah work.

Al:
And the Hurricane of '38 Earl ain't.

Doug:
Are you kidding me? I once had a golden showah from a Simmons College anorexic that was more powahful than Earl.

Sounds more like it was a Transparent Sponge Bath than a Golden Shower.

Gotta go now. Water to stock up on, generators to lease, gold to buy...

[Harwich Rich]

I'm more prone to those Fiesta Melons myself

[The Goat]

白人看不懂

[Bob]

Oh yes we can.

[yazbread]

Bob - very good for a 鬼佬.

[The Goat]

do you?

[Bob]

I'm more of a Phantom than a Ghost Man.

[Bob]

No, Goat, I don't. But I'm fluent in Google.

[Earle]

Blow wind blow-wherever you may go.

[yazbread]

For storm aficianados. Groveton, NH, 1938. That's 180 miles from Boston, on the other side of the White Mountains. Give it your best shot Earl.

[vermonter]

"...a golden showah from a Simmons College anorexic..."

That, h.b., is pure poetry. Nicely done.

[Harwich Rich]

I would have thought Smith

[h.b.]

My first thought was actually Mount Holyoke.

[SAC]

Hot air? Blowing hard? Earl? Aren't they talking about this?

[Harwich Rich]

Ha-well played h.b.,well played ;D

[yazbread]

Since it involves men, Smith is a poor choice as is MHC. But I'll defend MHC since my wife is a grad and I was a weekend boarder for many years. Men were the preferred choice back then.

[NolaSox]

started new job in August and just worked up the nerve to see if hb was blocked. I don't want to be part of the unemployment statistics again so alas my presence here will be sporadic.

[Bob]

Hi NolaSox! Sporadic is better than absent.

Now is the time I drink beer. Have a great weekend all. Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday.

[soxdownunder]

News from downunder:

1. Two weeks since the federal election and Australia still doesn't have a government. The current score: 72 Labor (silly party) 73 Liberal (sensible/ xenophobic party) 4 independents (barking mad) 1 Green. The Green and 1 of the barking mad have sided with labour. The 3 country independents closely considering the amount of pork in the respective barrels. Good Grief.

Maggies v Doggies in first finals game tonight 'Pies in Melbourne tonight. I'm flying to Melbourne with a good deal of black and white clothing. Carn'a'pies.

As to the 'Sox: ugh.

[soxdownunder]

Oh, and hi Nolasox, get those Collingwood hats out.

[buckner was framed]

welcome back, Nola! nice to see you again.... beer cart? don't mind if I do

ten bucks says Bill Lee lasts longer pitching Sunday than Beckett does

[Bob]

I'll wear my Collingwood hat tonight, SDU. It only has one bullet hole in it.

BTW, the Red Sox game has been postponed. It's been rescheduled for 1:10 tomorrow afternoon.

[Bob]

7.4 quake in New Zealand. Hope SDU isn't out on a boat.

[soxdownunder]

History* is against us but our form is good.

*We haven't beaten another Melbourne team in a final since 1990. I've attended about 5 of these games at great financial and emotional cost.

[Lazlo Freem]

Doug,
I love you, man.

[[email protected]]

The Party's over
Time to call it a day...

[Harwich Rich]

Certainly nothing fun to yak about today ;(

[yazbread]

Or the rest of the season.

[yazbread]

Or the rest of the season.

[Bob]

I was at a nice birthday cookout yesterday, checking the game inside every once in a while. Caught the whole 8th and 9th though.

Nice birthday cookout...

[urm]

Too many beer carts & too much beer. Got the DT's and rats are coming out of the walls to rip my flesh.
Oh god, Oh god.

[The Goat]

just thought I'd mention I went to the gmae on Sunday. ugly

[h.b.]

Apologies for not even posting a "Happy Labor Day -- no strip" announcement, but, you know... it is what it is.

I've pretty much gone into offseason mode...

But Happy Labor Day just the same.

[Jeff in NC]

so have the sox

life imitating art when it should be imitating major league caliber baseball.

I'm not really into this retro style of play the Redsox are going with
