ha.

I gotta start college before I can graduate it.

In the middle of “that”, there was also some fucking great music made.

Most KITH sketches

would be cut from SNL for not being funny enough.

The 80's

were easily the greatest decade I have been a part of to this point. Where do you dig this stuff up from?

Surely

This number spawned live broadcasts of Richard Simmons carving inches and pounds off through agitated jiggling around.

that Adam liked some of the worst music from the 80s.

Lip-syncing?

Surely not! :-)

On a separate note, I had almost completely forgot about Solid Gold and the dancers.

Back in the day, Solid Gold got me through puberty.

I remember spending many a Sunday alone in my room polishing the bishop to the Solid Gold dancers.

Or Black Flag, the Specials, the real R.E.M.

Oingo Boingo, Squeeze, Split Enz, XTC, X, Minutemen. Some amazing music came from the ’80’s. I don’t miss ’em, but I do like a lot of the music.

On second thought

After seeing that clip, I now remember that I don’t need to see a whole video of the Solid Gold dancers to remember how much they sucked.

lineup up

it’s go time…

by Longhorn on Apr 17, 2009 4:51 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Concerning the Lineup

I know Kinsler gets on base and is fast, but with the kind of power numbers he puts up when do the Rangers consider hitting him in the middle of the order?

by Black Francis on Apr 17, 2009 5:36 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm guessing they consider other options

when they have better options for the top of the lineup. Part of Kinsler leading off is because Young’s entrenched in the 2 hole and Hamilton/Cruz/Davis should be in the middle of the lineup.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

by Gdawg on Apr 17, 2009 6:52 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Byrd would do okay at lead off

Kinsler is the best hitter on this team, by far. Should be in the middle of the lineup…maybe someday it will happen.

I think when Byrd plays, he should lead off.

if this video was an ice cream flavor

it’d be pralines and dick.

What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
