Magazine article

[Jacksonian]

With admin permission I am pimping a magazine article.  I wrote the Astros content for scout.com's 2008 Baseball Prospects Guide magazine.  It should be in outlets any time now if it's not already there.  My write up is a bit different than the top 10 here because the owa top 10 is a collaborative effort and the scout submission was mine alone.  Unfortunately they wouldn't put that I write for orangewhoopass.com. (All the other writers have their url included.)  But, it's me.  It's my first published work, and I hope you'll take a look at it and like it.

[Duke]

Congrats.  Looking forward to seeing it.

Sure hope this doesn't mean you are outgrowing us now.

Pretty soon they might ask YOU to be on "The Sports Reporters" or sump'n like dat.

Glad to see you're still alive after last weekend's debacle at Twickenham.  Brutal.

[BatGirl]

that's great - congratulations!

[subnuclear]

That's great!  I look forward to reading that.

I didn't get to see it, thankfully.  I looked up the half-time score on the Google and then didn't bother checking back because they seemed to be handling the Welsh comfortably.  This now makes England's trip to Paris on the 23rd even more pivotal that it was.  Assuming, of course, that England's second half suck-fest was an aberration, not the norm...

Rugby. Great. Here are some other possible topics that you ingrates can use to derail Jacksonian's moment in the sun:

• Guitar Hero
• Lesbians
• The merits of Apple products
• Oil
• Health care
• Beer
• Hey, what's that shiny thing?
• Soccer and/or cricket
• Rankings of musicians deemed to be great
• Litigation

These are just a few to get you started, feel free to really explore the studio space.

Lesbians in beer oil, hmm.

Fair point. "Introduction to the sun" is probably more appropriate, but then he sounds kind of British. And we've come full circle.

This is better described as every musician of a certain type which can be remembered by name.

Jon Bon Jovi.  Wait, what?  Damnit.

And likely a more interesting read than the crap I wrote.

no false modesty, please. toot your own horn incessantly like everyone else does.

When he DOES end up on Sports Reporters or Around the Horn or PDI, hopefully he'll elude to something random that would show he hadn't forgotten TAC/OWA.

Maybe he could drop a plug for Little Debbie's snack cakes...chat incessantly about hitting approach during a Hall of Fame discussion...even figure out a way to insert a Joshua Dicks mention to honor MusicMan, though the censors would probably snap their heads at THAT one.

Shutting up, again.

[JackAstro]

Amen. I keep telling everyone how awesome I am, in the hopes that I'll eventually find someone who agrees.

Are you sure that MusicMan what a "joshua Dicks" inserted? Sound a bit Pettit/DQ fi you know what I mean?

it does not matter if anyone agrees. you know.

I'm all man.  Now, back to my "Mama Mia" CD and my Streisand biography.

Did you try bloodnmud.com ?  It doesn't have naughty words in it!  Maybe next time?

This has great application in the other thread with regards to paranoia.

I wasn't asked to do it until 2 weeks before the deadline.  Then Wade goes hog wild.  By the time I was done there wasn't enough time to have the editor go back to the higher ups to try alternative site names for approval.
