ESPNews Headline on their Website (3rd from the top)
« on: February 22, 2007, 04:44:00 pm »
"Bye Bye Boston?  Schilling to file for free agency"

Un-fucking-believable.  

Is the sports world this dead where a player currently under contract for one more year decides to file for free agency in 8 months is the 3rd from the top headline?

You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy, I don't give a shit. Good father, fuck you. Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here, close. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?

Well, if it makes you feel better the 7th biggest story is that nothing has changed with Roger Clemens.

And, yesterday (or maybe the day before) the top story was that Peyton Manning had restructured his contract-- not switched teams or added years or anythign fancy, like that, just restructured-- for salary cap reasons.

So, yes, the sports world is this dead.

Here, here's the top news of the day for the Astros,

Berkman welcomed the Astros' splashy offseason acquisition (Carlos Lee) with his usual charm.

"Pancakes," Berkman said.

Alyson Footer reports that Burke and Berkman took Carlos to breakfast when all he really wanted was to find the field.  I think Berkman had the pancakes in his pockets.  Syrup in his socks.

Pancakes. And just like that, he adds another fantastic nickname to his personal list, which is undoubtedly nearing 2 dozen at this point. He just gives and gives...

"Flapjack" is one of my favorite words.  It's just a word that's fun to say, like "hockey puck".  I use it whenever I can.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Hey, it could be worse.  They could resort to coming up with synonyms for the word pancake.

I like manhole cover personally.

"batter cake, blanket*, brown bucks, cake, crepe, flapjack, flats, fried bread, fried mush, gandy, griddlecake, hot cake, johnnycake, jonnycake, manhole cover, sourdough, tire patch, waffle, wheat*, wheat cake"

I had a grotesquely obese roomate in college famous for the pure evil his bowels manufactured after his usual night of heavy drinking and eating way too much greasy spicy food. He would refer to his more wet creations as "splattercakes."

So no, battercake is too close to those putrid memories to do anything but put me off my breakfast.

I remember a silver spoons episode that revolved almost entirely around flapjacks. Whenever an awkward moment would come up (which was often), Ricky schroeder would excuse himself from the room by saying "Need to get some more breakfast...love those flapjacks."

Damn straight. I didn't realize how often I said it until I noticed that my 5-year-old exclusively says "flapjacks" when referring to pancakes. I don't know if I've ever even said "pancakes" around him.

Just FYI, the best flapjacks in the world are made from my sourdough starter, which is supposedly over 100 years old.

My children will not eat panc-  er, flapjacks, though.  They used to, but one morning I made up a batch from Pioneer Mix and cooked them in the electric skillet (I was in a big hurry), and several had what appeared to be the face of Jesus on the flip side of them.  Well, Jesus, or perhaps Duane Allman.  Either way, they won't touch them anymore.

They do still call their morning oatmeal "porridge", though.  Or "gruel" (I read them a lot of Dickens when they were little, I guess.)
