  1. Wow, some of you guys make me sick. Not to say that you haven't earned it, but it still makes me sick. Although I did spend some time with a reggae band and I've done the gig thing before, which has a few perks. It's a somewhat impossible way to make a living and has no insurance (which sucks when you spend all your time in bars), but the perks include free drinks and you get to travel around and meet some cool people. Unfortunately there are also some pretty uncool people that you have to meet. It's different if you're in a rock band because most people know something about it and can carry on a conversation when they're drunk. I played trombone in a reggae band, so I had drunk people asking me some pretty strange stuff and telling me that my trumpet was really big. The negative outweighed the positive in that aspect.
  2. Koskie has suffered from postconcussion syndrome since he was hurt on July 5, 2006, while backpedaling to catch a popup. Koskie said he never banged his head. He fell on his back and shoulder. But his life would never be the same. I hate to ask this and bring up the memory again, but didn't he take a knee to his head? Does he just not recall banging his head? Either way, best of luck to Corey and I hope he really knows what he's doing. It sounds very positive right now, and if he could come back, even on a limited basis, I would love to see him on the Brewers again.
  3. Luckily she is http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Plus she's already taken a step over the state line because Mark Prior was her favorite player and he's with the Pads now. I told her that she's more than welcome to root for the Padres when they're not playing the Brewers. As long as she's less of a Cubs fan, we're on the right track. The Padres would at least put her out of the division. Phase II will be to have Prior get signed by an AL team next year so she'll be completely out of the NL. I imagine at some point she'll just get exhausted with all of this and fall in love with the Brewers.
  4. Any help with my girlfriend? She's a...gulp...Cubs fan http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif
  5. Then I guess you and I should never meet, jazzy. (Though look on the bright side - that suggests I don't resemble my avatar!) Are you implying that you're not the koolaid guy? This place sucks.
  6. The whole avatar thing just throws me off so I'm trying to ignore them. I associate the avatar way too much with the person, and I feel like if I ever met any of you it would really mess me up. I'm quite certain the GAME05 is a professional wrestler, and I assume that sbrylski06 is a giant ape. If I meet any of you and these things turn out to be untrue, I will feel disappointed and cheated.
  7. June. I actually just heard recently that it may be as early as this spring. I suppose technically that would include part of June, but it seemed like it would be more likely in April or May.
  8. I'm confused as to why everyone keeps calling it a "loan". Anyone have a good explanation? The only thing that I can think of is that it would be considered taxable income, so I get that we're paying back "interest", but at what point do we pay back the "loan"?
  9. Sorry, my question wasn't very clear. How exactly do we receive this money? Is it just a random check in the mail? Do we have to apply for it? Does it come along with my refund for the '07 tax year?
  10. So will this be something that I have to claim when I do my taxes for '07? Or does it just come separately in the mail? I'm so skeptical right now because I don't understand the concept of free money. There has to be a catch somewhere. Is there an equation/scale out there that would allow us to figure out our rebate?
  11. Because at this point in his career he is being "overpaid", but if you consider what he would have made in his last couple years of arby and in free agency (I believe a year or two were bought out, correct?) then he will be vastly underpaid during those years...assuming he performs at least equal to his performance last season.
  12. Just because the girl in the Bud Light commercial with the bluetooth thinger was hot, it doesn't mean that every girl with long enough hair to cover their bluetooth thinger is hot. It doesn't make you look hot...it makes you look like you're talking to yourself. I'm easily annoyed today.
  13. The minimalist composer? Yes. For some reason, I had never given him a serious listen until the past few weeks. I've just been eating up everything I can find that he wrote. Sorry, didn't mean to sound surprised or anything. The personalities in this place just continue to amaze me. I never thought I would hear someone make an obscure mention of Steve Reich. I got one of my degrees in Music and a buddy of mine in college did a fairly long research paper on minimalism, with large parts of it focusing on him. There are some really great stories out there regarding his compositional training...just shows how both difficult and humorous it can be to pioneer a musical genre. That said, my random thought of the day is that I haven't picked up my trombone in way too long, but for some reason I had a dream last night that involved my trombone. I have no idea what I was doing or what I was trying to play, or if I was even trying to play. All I know is that I was there, my trombone was there, and that's it. Wait...it was a dark room, and there was a music stand, but no music. Okay, that's all I know...except that I was wearing sunglasses....and a hat. Weird.
  14. The only thing I ever really want at Taco Bell is the Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Sometimes I'll go there and just ask for a large soda. But then I figured out if you put blue Powerade with Mountain Dew, it tastes kinda the same. I figured this out because I can never pick one drink at most fast-food restaurants. I spend a lot of time plotting what my drink will be, and make sure to get the perfect mix. I highly recommend Mountain Dew and Fruit Punch (with a splash of Root Beer) http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  15. Oh my God I thought the exact same thing when I watched that movie. It had such a cool storyline and there was some really good writing all the way through, so when it got to the end I thought there would be something unexpected. Of course not.
  16. No thanks, I've got $40k of my own, and it got me two degrees that have 0 value. I put a lot of money into getting degrees in music and religious studies. I feel both very smart and very stupid. My advice to any high-schoolers out there is to never follow your dreams if you can't handle living off pop-tarts.
  17. Ummm...did you just now pay the entire $30,000? Or do you mean you just finished paying installments totaling $30,000?
  18. To add to this, Jason...shaking the hands of a new girlfriend's dad who for some reason feels the need to grasp your fingers and squeeze the crap out of them...which doesn't allow you to get a firm shake and allows him to show some kind of superiority. What a lame move.
  19. This has probably already been brought up, but this topic is 57 pages and, well, I'm tired. I have no intentions of entering the political realm of this... I'm getting really tired of hearing people blame every single strange weather occurrence on global warming. This isn't the first time ever that it's been 50 in January, get over it.
  20. Yeah, that's the one I meant pitchleague. I was always thrown off when I read Garfield growing up and they referred to Nermal as "him" or "he". It always bothered me so I would change it in my mind to "her". Then I wondered why Garfield's pseudo-girlfriend never got mad that Nermal was always around and bothering Garfield. I'm pretty sure if Jim Davis is trying to push off Nermal as a little boy, he needs a baseball cap or something. This has been bothering me all week since someone brought it up to me because I used to watch Garfield every Saturday morning and I had all the Garfield books.
  21. If you use one of them in the middle of the sandwich, it's kinda like a Big Mac.
  22. I've been unable to use this site for so long so I had to read back over some of these...and this one shocked me. Please tell me you're joking FTJ. He's as much an indication of what jazz has to offer as Kenny G. And Pat Metheny set him straight. For the record, my username has nothing to do with DJ Jazzy Jeff.
