  1. wildly inconsistent/rusty. he'll lip out about 10 putts, but his bunker play will be terrific. lots of second shots will be out of the rough.
  2. did some searching online and found the statue prototype for barry's future presidential museum. in fact, we can call it barry's bust. enjoy.
  3. someone ought to mention the crappy review this guy gave to the Big A: "Angels Stadium opened in 1966, when Orange County actually had orange trees and lots of them. If you look at original construction photos of this place there was nothing out there. That's not the case anymore." that's it. no mention of sight lines or comfort or food, just a criticism of no longer being able to see orange trees. that's a pretty moronic review.
  4. le blanc has had a tough time keeping a job this last year. gotta respect his 'don't quit' mentality inspite of it.
  5. i'm at a small intersection, waiting to turn right. i'm going north-south. i see you coming from my left, driving east-west. you can clearly see that i'm waiting to turn once it's safe. you suddenly turn right without using your blinker, causing me to have waited longer than i needed to, as yours was the only car i had to wait for. i hate you.
  6. there's a significant sector of our population that doesn't know how to use technology or has no access to it. how do take care of their right to vote?
  7. matriculating mandible proletariot burgeois
  8. um, you're not going with the ol' aw.com favorite, the hutzler 571 banana slicer?!? here, before it's too late: http://www.amazon.com/Hutzler-5717-571-Banana-Slicer/dp/B0047E0EII/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
  9. i think people in LA greatly overreact to a little rain, like their lives have been put on hold or their day ruined.
  10. 2-0 shutout for quick. another solid game by everyone. good to see martinez back in the lineup tonight.
  11. 17. wow. can't conceive of anyone coming remotely close to that number again.
  12. i'm not sure what that has to do with someone being a voice about living with a different moral code, but thanks anyway.
  13. requiring everyone to have a gov't issued picture ID will be a problem. besides drivers licenses, what other gov't issued photo IDs are out there? passport? military ID? national ID card seems like an inevitability if this were to become a law.
  14. how many people are home when the mail is delivered? imagine the headache of trying to track down everyone this way.
  15. you know all those veggies your wife is always trying to get you to eat but you keep feeding them to the dog under the table or sneaking them outside when you fake cough into your napkin seinfeld style? a major amount of your produce comes from there.
  16. enders game: B+ i liked the story and can see how kids liked this story (several of my students read the book). ender is placed in a bigger situation than he realizes, utilizing/exploiting his talent, and once he realizes what he's done, he seeks to right a perceived wrong. interesting. percy jackson and the sea of monsters: B another teen book turned movie (i like to keep in touch with what my students read). left out a lot of things from the book once again, but the story plays well on the screen and kept my interest.
  17. pure and simple, the cycle has to be broken. it's repeated so often that many kids grow up with no hope of any kind of better life for themselves. that has to change. i always applaud stories about people who pull themselves up out of terrible, unfair, impossible conditions and yet go on to make something of themselves. we need a modern day MLK to come around and remind people that it's not okay to kill each other, steal, destroy neighborhoods, use drugs, join gangs, etc. I don't think that voice exists in a large sense today.
  18. one of my favorite george carlin jokes: if two guys are on an elevator and one guy farts, everybody knows who did it.
  19. i have it DVR'd and plan to watch it in the next couple of days. come on by.
