OBD: Usurper Edition
Yes, I'm stealing the Off Base Diary from Julie today. She told us we could on Saturday, so haha, I am. Bring on the flaming.
In Stupid Mets Fans news, did you here about the guy who got banned? Evidently posing as a reporter is a no-no, although how are they mad about him annoying Piazza, isn't that a good thing?
And for anyone out there with Restless Leg Syndrome you might want to be aware of the side effects of Requip. Sure drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and dizziness are pretty much a given, but "pathological gambling and hypersexuality"? Very nice. Not just gambling, pathological gambling.
And my contribution to your useless information education is this site, Random Facts, because you need to know Kermit the Frog is left handed.
Of course I would be remiss if I did not share the Transformers Trailer with you all, the real site has more, but you know, watching it load is boring.
Happy Wednesday all.

Know what upsets me about the Transformers Movie?
Bah. It's been done. See Independence Day. See War of the Worlds. See any other movie that has aliens coming to earth and wreaking havoc.
INSTEAD, the Transformers movie should be about the interplay between the two factions of robots...why the Autobots and the Decepticons are warring...the differing personalities (robot-alities?) of the robots...their interplay with eachother.
In an ideal world, humans would have a SUPPORTING role in any Transformers move...not the other way around.
All of this isn't to say that the movie won't be entertaining, because it likely will be everything a summer blockbuster is supposed to be. However, I fear that it will go down in cinema history in the same breath as the afore-mentioned "aliens-come-to-earth-and-wreak-havoc" movies...instead of something much, much cooler.

So, I'll give it the ol' college try. If you have a better and more thought-provoking question, feel free to call me names and introduce yours.
QOTD: What one sporting event would you most like to attend? This could be something in the past (a great game or event), or just overall.
For me, it would be a tie between The Masters or this year's upcoming NBA All-Star Game in Vegas. That is going to be so nuts, it's not even funny.
And of course, I'm sure most would say a Cubs World Series, so let's just put that as a given.

I have been to six All-Star games:
1975, Milwaukee
1983, old Comiskey Park
1984, San Francisco
1990, Wrigley Field
1991, Toronto
2003, the Cell
Fun times, all of them.

I attended nineteen of them. (Missed: game 3 in SD in '84, games 1 & 2 of the NLDS in '98, and the three games in Atlanta in the NLDS in 2003.)
Also was at the division clincher in Pittsburgh in 1984.

by cubbieboy on Jan 24, 2007 4:44 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
OK, Al...
That would be about 63 games per season to catch up to something around your total by the time I turn your age.
I seriously don't think I will ever go to that many games in one season. Maybe if I ever get season tickets, but I don't see it happening. I'm not that concerned with that though. I like to watch baseball games from the comfort of my home(or someone else's). I enjoy baseball either way.
If I really wanted to go to 63 games a year at some point in my life, I think I could. But for now my goal is to make it to at least one game each month of the season.
