I read NYCU everyday, prav.  Thank you for scouring the globe for up to the minutes news and useful info.  I bow to you,  oh Holy Illuminati.

That's why it's called News You Can Use, and not News You Will Use.

[Alkie]

I read NYCU everyday, prav.  Thank you for scouring the globe for up to the minutes news and useful info.  I bow to you,  oh Holy Illuminati.

For the record, I've never read it once. 

What I like to do, is find something a few days later and wander in here, quote something, without a link, and then wonder why everyone ignores it until MRaup says something obnoxious.

And I hate pravata.

That's not what I'm fishing for, seriously, that takes work.  If no one is reading it (look at the stats) I can spin in my chair.

[DVauthrin]

aww, does somebody's ego need stroking, maybe you should ask clemens how to get the ego properly stroked  ?

just kidding, I do appreciate all the news you find for us here.   you are an invaluable member of the conspiracy.

[DVauthrin]

i'm sure you are very good at that too, perhaps guinness world record good.

Get in line pal.  I'm actually jealous of Clemens.  Think of it, 4 fucking cities that hate him.  One FOREIGN!  And one city is so delusional that they hated him and then completely forgot they hated him and is now making fun of Houston for hating him.  He's my goddam hero.

Seriously, I'm checking the numbers.  My chain can not be yanked.

do you even have a chain for yanking?

What I find most lazy about your work tonight is that you stopped at "4 cities."  You left out Austin and I'm sure Dayton.  Oh, and Katy.  Which isn't a city, so much as a burgh.

Lazy.

Lazy.

I live in katy, and unless spring woods high school has moved, he never lived in Katy, Texas because he could never have gone to spring woods then.  But katy is a city now, it's a lot bigger than the ones you see on 71 going to/from austin back to it.

Austin, don't make me laugh. HA! Tons more people are going to have to move in from somewhere else before that city can work up the attention span to actually hate.  And I used to live in Katy, we all pretended to live in Houston.  Dayton, well, that's a whole nother story.   Besides, I have quotes, actual citated quotes of goobers from each of the 4 cities detailing their hate.  Including a Canadian.

technically some mailing addresses in katy are with a houston zip code.  Ours(my family) is.

Lazy.  Canadians don't hate.  They barely feel.  And that you and DV used to live in Katy don't make it a city.  But I've noticed Katianitesoans like to think they live in Houston.  Why is that?  HEY.  YOU CHANGED THE TOPIC ON ME!

Lazy.  Hate.  Pants.

[Alkie]

Doesn't seem right, does it.

RIGHT! Technically I used to say that all the time.

A couple days ago, my wife called Gunther, Thunder Pants.

So if she's the brains, heart, and pancreas of the operation, which organ does that leave you?

[pravata]

Gizzard. I may grind slow, but exceedingly small.

So what's this about Tommy John getting Fernando Nieve surgery done?

I'll say this: when I was young, all katy had was rice fields and I-10 and an area off fry road.   Now you have cinco ranch, seven lakes, etc.  It's actually grown a lot, into a fairly decent sized suburb.   

But the fact remains, spring woods is in the dairy ashford area, no way clemens grew up in Katy.

I believe he lived in Katy in the off-season in the mid-late 80's.  At least the Katy urban legend when I grew up was that if you went to his house on Halloween, he gave away autographed baseballs.

that may be, but I know his high school is not nor was not ever in katy.

How the hell did *I* get dragged in to this?!

alkie's brain can drag anyone into anything, you know this.

[Andyzipp]

That's not a fact.  That's obviously a FACT! Spring Woods is near Spring Branch/Spring Shadows.  Dairy Ashford is at best 7 miles away from Gessner/Hammerly and on the other side of a freeway and a tollway.

[Alkie]

You were sitting there, so that made it convenient.

[JackAstro]

A couple days ago, my wife called Gunther, Thunder Pants.

Wait, wait, wait... Thunder Pants??

[JaneDoe]

Wait, wait, wait... Thunder Pants??

Yeah--can you give us the story behind this.  Pun intended. 

[pravata]

Wait, wait, wait... Thunder Pants??

That's what I'm going with.  She jams the iPod headphones in her ears so the hearing is starting to go.  Not such a bad thing really, when you consider some of the things you overhear.  But, Pence comes up as she's passing through, and they announce "Hunter Pence" and she says "What? Thunder Pants?"  And I said, "Yes, of course, his mother named him Thunder Pants."

[Phil_in_CS]

don't change the subject. You trying to threadjack this?

I guess my recounting of the "Under Pants!" chants by my friends at the Round Rock game went unoticed.  That's okay, I'm not hurt by it... no really, seriously, no I'm okay.

More than good enough for me. Plus, it gives me this to work with.

If it makes you feel better, I'll put the "Th" in parentheses. We're all winners here. Which reminds me, I totally airballed an opportunity to reference Mo's "unglasses" in the recap last night. I'd been saving that chestnut for a special occasion, and I blew it.

"Air spear! Air spear!"  One of my favorite Far Side cartoons.

Along with the one with two or three wrinkled old cavemen sitting on a rock watching some studly young caveman walk by carrying a boulder:  "Yep, the rocks were just heavier when we were young."

Go back and modify it.  Between fixing the incorrect information I post and adding "one more thing" mine never look the same one minute to the next.

If I permitted myself the latitude to do such a thing, I'd spend all week making minor grammatical modifications to a series of ridiculous run-on sentences, while vacillating between "shitstain" and "fucktard" as the correct descriptor for booing Reds fans. And while that does sound like a pretty nice life, it would mostly restrict my weekly input to the board to a single, off-the-beaten-path post. Which may well have been your point.

Thunder Pants.
I rather like typing that.

[Limey]

...while vacillating between "shitstain" and "fucktard" as the correct descriptor for booing Reds fans.

I'd go with "taintstain".

Sorry, stratford is the one closest to dairy ashford, spring woods is right by northbrook which is by hammerly/gessner.   but, none of the spring branch schools are located in the katy city limits.

My brother and I had a good laugh about that story, actually. I was almost tempted to change my user name to that, as lame as that may be, but opted for Slowpoke Rodriguez instead.

Major Tom and then El Guapo.  The last one, I couldn't live up to so it had to go.  Unfortunately, slowpoke is incredibly accurate.

i vote that you pick a name and stick with it. you're confusing me.

I'm glad to hear I was not the only one confused.

You're a lucky lucky man I can't find a youtube clip of Grandpa Simpson taking off his own underwear to prove that the answers to many of life's questions are in your underpants. Then, when the Simpson kids are shocked and want to know how Grandpa took his underwear off without taking off his pants or pulling them down, he answers in a confused old man voice, "I don't know!"
