Sorry, didn't notice any when I was there
Saw the area where the seals hung out, was rather nice once you got past the smell

They're are humbacks (and greys) out in the Farralons
Its a long boat ride, and all you really end up seeing is their spouts in the distance and maybe a tail in the air. None of the spectacular stuff you see in videos or nature movies. If it was common, it wouldn’t be in the movies.

Well I don’t know. I do know that I’ve never seen a whale except for at Sea World and am going to the Bay Area at some point in the near distant future. I can’t find an excuse to go to Washington.

GoET, BaseballNorth and I are going to Sunday’s game. If you go to Sunday’s game let us know. I think the other guys might be going to the Fri & Sat games, too.

Ah. I was talking about the August series
I’ll go to the Sept series, too, of course. It’s been a while since I saw meaningful games live.

This is the sad part
if not funny, it can at least sometimes be clever and that’s worth it.
It is very rarely used in a clever way though
It must be used to point out a double entrendre that would not otherwise have been noticed by most people.

That's what she said
A retort to the above.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.

and have you researched the law in the local jurisdiction?
by Mike the Grate on Jul 23, 2010 3:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah I'd be nervous too if I was about to go on a red bull and alcohol fueled rampage
culminating with groping multiple strippers and finding every way possible to humiliate somebody that’s about to be married. That doesn’t sound like fun at all. Sucks.
we are going to
hooters.. logans then ’the clubhouse…. tomorrow night is twin peaks sherlocks then jaguars… sunday is bloody mary bar and wild wings for lunch.. then everyone get the F outta town
by I am Neftali Feliz on Jul 23, 2010 3:43 PM CDT up reply actions
I've never been to one of those bachelor parties
And I’ve been to a lot. It’s mostly just hanging out and drinking and catching up with friends you haven’t seen for a while. That’s more fun (in my opinion) than strippers.

But it would be better if the friends you hadn't seen in a while WERE strippers.

Strippers are boring
What’s the point? Spend money looking at tits? Maybe if I were married I’d be more interested in looking but it seems beside the point.

Could be for fun or to clean stuff off of them. I prefer to think it’s for fun.

For fun, I mean. Reasonable to assume whales get bored and jump out of the water to amuse themselves.
by Black Francis on Jul 23, 2010 3:01 PM CDT up reply actions
My guess
Those dumbass whales are just swimming fast straight toward the surface. Probably after a fish, or something.
The problem is, due to poor depth perception, they just have now clue that they’re about to hit the final water frontier and propel themselves into the realm of outer space.
The flipping and rolling and crap is the subsequent whale panic of knowing they just f’ed up and have no idea what the immediate waterless future has in store for them.

Largest outdoor rodeo in the world and it sucks. Two weeks of never finding a parking spot by my office. I try to get out of town for at least one weekend but I think there’s still too much snow/mud at my usual campsite in the mountains. Tonight’s night show is KISS which I detest. You’d think a city-wide party would be fun but it really isn’t. Bucklebunnies and rednecks.

Chicks that just want to hook up with the participants
They’ve won belt-buckles (normally an award at rodeos) so that’s why you call them bucklebunnies.
