    This is some pretty interesting reading. I find this story really fascinating, wondering what would make somebody go to such great lengths to do such a thing- High school graduate pretends to be a Stanford student, even living in the dorms, buying textbooks and ?studying? for exams Here's a follow up article- Dormmates, high school peers of squatter student wonder how, why And there's another woman who's been hanging around one of the physics labs at Stanford for four years with "no real reason to be there." Imposter II? Four years in Varian

    I was in Boston with a buddy of mine in 2000 for a game at Fenway against the Expos. It was the first game back for Carl Everett after serving that suspension for bumping an umpire. We sat on the rooftop box in right field. It was pretty cool. And we also caught a minor league game in Portland Maine between the Portland Sea Dogs & the Erie Sea Wolves.

    I'd be up for it. Depending on certain transportation issues.

    Out of 11,579 on the iPod- 1- "Aim to Please"- 7 Seconds I was just gonna swallow a handful of quaaludes but I felt guilty after this came on and didn't. 2- "Smells Like Teen Spirit"- Nirvana bloody night owl...bloody night owl...bloody night owl 3- "Time For Change"- Motley Crue I remember the first house party I ever went to in college they were playing this CD over and over again. I was drinking beer and peach schnapps. And then I puked on myself. 4. "Here Comes a Regular"- The Replacements I used to live at home, now I stay at the house... Pardon me while I break down and weep. If "Skyway" comes on next I might have to end it all... 5. "Invasion"- Vinnie Vincent Invasion Killer album. It rocks surprisingly hard for '80s hair metal. 6. "City Boy"- Blitzspeer I love this because it's live and at the beginning the guy who introduces the band says "YO YO NEW YORK CITY! HERE WE GO! COLD CRUSHIN' ALWAYS BUM RUSHIN'. THE ALMIGHTY BLITZSPEER!" 7. "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" (live)- George Strait Awesome song. One of my favorites from the "King of Country." 8. "Time Bomb"- Rancid This reminds me of a girl I was in love with back in '96. She's got six kids now. 9. "There's No Way"- 88 Fingers Louie Named after the guy that sold Fred Flintstone a stolen piano. 10. "Scarlet Ribbons"- Willie Nelson Another sad one.

    He was on the Letterman show and one of People Magazine's "hottest bachelors" or whatever but it seems like whatever hype was there has died down. Maybe because he was studying abroad. I don't exactly see him blowing up into a big star or anything though.

    Official threads. It seems like we are having a lot of "the official (Steroids, Ryan Braun, Yo, etc) thread" I don't mind those so much as something I see on other boards I post at- the old "_______ Appreciation Thread." It's like "I have nothing to say so at the moment so I'm going to start an "Appreciation Thread." And everybody else can pat this person or thing on the back. Especially lame and nauseating is if the person being appreciated is a fellow poster. Like "DingleBerry76 Appreciation Thread." I don't think I've seen it here. But if I have, I'm not referring to yours. Ha.

    When I finished college and left Oshkosh, I was really sad and depressed that I'd never again get to do things like drink beer on a couch in my front yard with my roommates on a Tuesday afternoon. I was amazed at how quickly I got over those crazy thoughts. And it's funny what a complete ghetto the off campus housing looks to me now. I'm sure it looked exactly the same then but then I thought it was the greatest place to live ever. I used to come home to visit my parents for the weekend or whatever and I couldn't wait to get back to school. A few weeks ago I had some banking to take care of in Oshkosh and I was there for about 20 minutes and I couldn't get the hell out of there fast enough. I'm not exactly sure what my point is. I wasn't getting any chicks like Johnny's getting though. Maybe that's it- the chicks.

    well, that's what I was curious about. From his site, he does claim to be earning credits though, so I guess they probably can't kick him out. And for whaterver it's worth, he does pay a "slacker tax", which essentially doubles his tuition.
  9. gypcasino
    It was actually a coincidence that I ran across the article. My cousin is mentioned in it. Joe, here are his "credentials", in case you were wondering- link

    Well, this is quite a shock isn't it- one more year?

    anybody know if it will have any sort of value Probably never more than 25 or 50 cents. is there an easier way to sell them? they date back to about 1986. there are probably a bunch or good rookie cards mixed in. Do some checking on eBay. Search for stuff like "baseball card lot 50,000" or "baseball card lot 40,000" to see what other big lots of cards are selling for. You might want to look through yours just to give people an idea of what's included. If you just put that you have 50,000 cards people might think it's filled with 1988 Topps commons. This guy is selling 40,000 cards and lists exactly what he has and has a bid for 1,500 bucks.

    Tickets for this game appear to be in plentiful supply. So yeah, definitely check the "resale zone" by Helfaer. Even if you're buying from the guys on the bridges, for a weekday game like that I'm sure you'll be able to find something below face. If you don't like their offer just say you'll buy at the ticket window and start walking away. The price will drop real fast.

    We'll be back in the playoffs assuming half our team isn't injured again. 42-40 and bounced out in the first round again. In 2025 the team celebrates the 25th anniversary of the '00-'01 team that almost won the Eastern Conference Finals, with retro jerseys, bobbleheads, and a DVD.

    how is that determined, isn't every card the same, wow, I've never heard of that before, I thought all of the cards formats were the same, it was just what kind of condition the card was in. Like this. Say it's 1986 and you went down to the corner store to get yourself some Topps wax packs. You pull out this card of Vince Coleman. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/gypcasino/Cards001.jpg Notice how awful the card is centered. Whatever machine they use to cut it must have been set wrong or the sheet of cardboard wasn't loaded right or something. So even though you pulled this card right out of the pack and put it straight into a top loader, it's not worth jack and it's not in "mint" condition because the border isn't 50/50, more like 80/20. Next say you pull this card of the famous slugger Bob Jones. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/gypcasino/Cards002.jpg He's rockin' the aviator shades and he looks constipated. But hey it's more evenly centered than the other one. I don't know if it's 100% perfect but you could probably consider the card to be nr mt/mt. I'm no expert and I really don't know all that goes into grading cards so yeah, like cweber said a 10 is very hard to come by. There's more that goes into it than just seeing that you didn't put it in your bicycle spokes to make that cool noise. Geez, I'm really dating myself here. I've probably confused bhfan even more with all this talk of wax packs and putting the card in your bike spokes.

    OK, thanks. It just looked like the centering was way off in that first pic. It didn't look so bad now in that other one. All four corners can be razor sharp but the centering being way off will greatly affect the condition. It is a rookie card, '83 Fleer, but unless it's actually graded by PSA or whoever then it's not worth much. Five bucks maybe? Add the autograph and maybe another five if you find the right person. I think I remember hearing back in the day that it wasn't advisable to get a rookie card autographed. But now that the bottom's fallen out of the market I don't think it matters one way or the other.
  16. gypcasino
    Can you show a picture of the whole card so I can see the borders and the corners?
  17. gypcasino
    We bolted immediately after the third out in 9th so I didn't have a chance to look for any that were left behind. Sorry.
  18. gypcasino
    I'll keep my out for extras.
  19. gypcasino
    bhfan, do the players in the lot sign for everybody or are they more prone to sign for youngsters such as yourself. Just wondering since I'm approaching middle age and don't want to look like a knob knocking over kids to try and get autographs.
  20. gypcasino
    I have no idea about his character or signing habits otherwise but I got Jenkins last year on one of the autograph Fridays and I was impressed at how many people were herded through the line in such a short period of time.
  21. gypcasino
    Do the jerseys look like THIS?
  22. gypcasino
    and just like that I change the channel four seconds later...
  23. gypcasino
    Do you still have these tickets available?
  24. gypcasino
    How items will a player sign at a signing? Per person? At the Fan Zone? Usually one per trip through the line. I think you can go through the line multiple times though if time permits.

    Nice to see Joel Osteen in attendance today.
