Randar Thoughts

- - What do you do when the management and fan support -- of a shitty team, from a shitty division, playing a shitty sport(?) -- is shitty and can't pay there bills? Make tax-payers do it!!

Horraaaay!!! Bigger Government!!

-- Donnie Darko is the strangest and most confusing movie I have ever seen. Comparable to Psycho, it will make your head spin and with about 20 minutes left in the film (as well as immediately after in my case) you will probably have no clue what is going on. It also has a sequel coming out that will probably be just as bad as Psycho 2.

-- Gotta get that boom-boom-boom?

-- With Joey gone (please reconsider staying!?), I need to find a new Saturday day-drinking partner. Im currently looking into acquiring A. Sauers. Or perhaps, Bunger.

Best things about Joey: 1) His PING hat, 2) his drinking ability, 3) His "down-for-anything"ness attitude, but most of all 4) his ability to sit on a toilet and puke in a sink (That Central Michigan game was ugly). I'm sad to see Joey go - excited to see Barstool go - and will miss him dearly (Joey that is, not Barstool)

-- If you can still read this, Barstool, I have five words of advice for you: Don't catch asian out there. Easy way to remember this is: DCAOT.

-- Piggy-back-
(Verb) 1. To ride on the shoulders or back: ride piggyback; a piggyback ride.
(Adj/Adv) 2. By or relating to a method of transportation in which truck trailers are carried on trains, or cars on specially designed trucks.
(Adj/Adv) 3. In connection with something larger or more important

Yawn.

Thanks.

- I have no idea where you are going with the soccer thing. Soccer just isn't worth it. I have spent too long typing about soccer. Stop it!

- DD is dumb. Bad A song though.

- Truely a touching tribute. I'm comfortable enough in my non-gayness to say, I miss you too. Let's give it one last hoorah on Sat. and get "throw up in a sink while sitting on the toilet" drunk. Well, maybe just "casual" drunk.

- It seems as though OIA has lost it's nibbler. Yes, that little bite that Schiv possessed is now absent. What will OIA do without their seemingly self-appointed leader? It deeply saddens me. Something tells me they will be OK for the time being...

Yawn?
If your tired you should take a nap

If you don't want to hear about this you should read the NY Times instead

If you don't think it is an issue than explain to me why. Or better yet how it is acceptable to force tax payers by holding a gun to their heads to buy a failing franchise?

If the mayor the tax payers elected proposes a budget and the representatives they elected vote to pass it, I just don't see where the "gun-to-head" thing comes in.

The city seems to own the stadium, and when you use public funds to build one, you have to know that it could come to this. It's not like those poor tax payers aren't culpable on some level.

Or something.

Not sure where the best news organization in the world fits into this, though.

I propose that me, andrew and you get together saturday and have an open audition...that is of course if you meant me when you said "bunger" you may have been talking about joe...happens more often than you would think

Shane said...

Larry,
So I think what you are saying is that the tax payers voted him into office and therefore should have known that this could have happened?

I don't disagree with that, but how does that make it OK?

If the tax-payers of a city elect a red-headed mayor, they may know in the back of their head that the mayor may be partial to other red-heads. Does this, then, make if OK for the mayor to collect $1 from every brown haired person and give the collection to every redhead?

My point is this if a product is marketable it will produce a benefit for someone. If not, it should go out of business.

anymouse said...

Pretty much. Just saying the gun to the head is way over the top, and if the tax payers are responsible for the stadium being there in the first place, it's not surprising they have to put more money into it eventually.

Otherwise, don't get the bright idea of building a soccer/lacrosse stadium in Rochester, New York and thinking it will pay for itself.

It just doesn't seem like "OMG government does everything wrong" is an appropriate response, though that's not necessarily what you're saying now.

Murray- if "you're" tired, then you should take a nap.

If you want to talk about boring politics, petition for a spot on BMBS.
