A few thoughts on a very lively CSFMB lately...
I've not really been short-fused lately as Zippy-The-Pinhead suggested. There's just been a willingness to mix it up that had been absent for some time. Confrontation, if I may call it such, has been easier with a clear head. Sarcasm has been present, but not anger, including the thread "Fan" from Arizona last week. Enjoyed the many responses...but it came as a complete shock nobody caught the Col. Nathan Jessup references at the back end of my post. That would have led one to believe I was just being playful.
As good dolphin mentioned... I'll be at cottage a lot this summer. My Musky season begins on Saturday, June 14, with my son, Van, at the Chippewa Flowage near Hayward, Wisc. I have an opportunity this summer to do some video production/writing for an outdoors program up in NW Ontario. Haven't accepted the offer yet, but there's been a lot of give and take. It's my intention to spend at least four weeks on Eagle Lake. You're all welcome to make the 850-mile drive and meet me for shore lunch.
Not sure why badroque17 says I "pussied out" in transition with our senior columnist Dan Bernstein today. I assumed his assessment of the new broadcast technology in baseball meant wonderful things for all viewers. I was wrong. He said it was for his enjoyment, not mine. I couldn't agree more with Franky T and some others here.... I watch to be entertained and not knowing exact route efficiency never disrupted my enjoyment of the game. I am willfully ignorant about baseball data. The game is dull enough already. This technology is valuable for the teams and huge fans of the game, but I'm neither a scout nor a baseball lover. It's just something to watch and talk about when I'm not golfing or fishing and until NFL training camps commence.
Hey Zizou.... please enlighten me about the "wang whipping" I received from Bernstein. SAT scores? Has to be that because the show I quarterbacked up the dial went something like 13-2 vs. B&B. Please explain your assertion, kind sir. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.
go to COTTAGE now, and don't come back. You won't be missed by more than the very few on this board that like you.
Most people think you are an addicted asshole and no great loss to Chicago or anyone else.
BTW, while you are at cottage, better bring your "shine box" because from what I have heard, you will need it
in the future. LOL FO
