Link of the Day [9.04.11]
Apple was down in the dumps in the early 00s that in 2001, I remember their stock at $12. This is even after Apple came back with the bondi blue iMac. The company was working, but they were still getting worked. Now look at them. A juggernaut. This is what Steve Jobs left behind.

Quote of the Day [9.02.11]
”The voluptuous pleasure that cycling can give you is delicate, intimate and ephemeral. It arrives, it takes hold of you, sweeps you up and then leaves you again. It is for you alone. It is a combination of speed and ease, force and grace. It is pure happiness.”
Jean Bobet about La Volupté, “Demain, en Roule (Tomorrow, We Ride)”
Originally drafted around March this year. I have the timestamps on the downloaded images if you don’t believe me.
Get your kawaii on! Visit Suntory Japan and get your Nozomi wallpapers.
Putting this post up, but got nothing to talk about.
I’d like to get all meta on you and talk about NewsRadio Quote Month, but that’ll bore you.
Maybe something next time…
The quote does not come from this episode, but since I found that you can emed hulu. This may just become “quote the episode that you’re watching month.” Enjoy. (This is my favorite episode.)
Link of the Day [9.01.11]
I’ve been doing this since 2004. I only do it one month a year. I’ve got about 200 entries. I can’t believe I’m doing it again!
Here we are the start of NewsRadio Quote Month, and I’d like to share the Link of the Day with you of a blog purported to have NewsRadio quotes. It’s got ’em, but only a months worth. For one year. Back in 2008. They did a flurry of posts, but afterwards, nada. If they had continued it, they would have surely surpassed my output by 2009.
A for effort. F for execution.
I’m gonna recant what I said about going to see bad baseball teams play bad, bad, bad baseball. It hurts, and I’m not hardcore enough. Yet, I was there for the 13-0 beatdown tonight. Every pitcher giving up a home run, even if they didn’t give up a home run. It was a painful 9 innings and 3 hours. At least, I caught the beginnings of the Grand Prix of Baltimore.
The Hardcore is composed of the people I saw at the Yard tonight.
There’s the gentleman who has season tickets a row behind me. He’s been rotating his companions between his children and his friends. He jinxes us as he’s always there for the beatdown.
There’s the lady and the gentleman who have the two season ticket seats on my right. He’s old and she’s younger. I can’t guess their relationship. Father-daughter? Husband-wife? Gentleman-escort? I can’t tell. I’m afraid to ask. I’m hoping its husband-‘trophy’ wife. They are an interesting couple. She’s also pretty.
There’s the kids from Hopkins, the freshman from LA and NJ. They’ve come to catch a game at the Yard. Wish they got to see a better game. Although, I did tell them to go sneak into the seats behind home plate. Hopefully, you got to see them on television.
There’s the group of high school kids. They came down from the upper level to catch the final innings. They had seen last night’s game, too. It’s great to egg these kids on in their taunting. We’re getting on the Jumbo-tron!
There’s the dude from work. He’s still at the game in the ninth. What are we doing and why do we subject ourselves to this junk? WHY!
There’s the guy who’s vacation is watching some ball games. He wore an Orioles shirt tonight, but wore a Blue Jays shirt last night. He’s on his way to Boston for three games, Yankees then Rangers. I thought he was here for the Grand Prix. He hates motorsports.
There’s the kids who sat in the seats for the first two innings. They were very loud and I kept looking at the dad a few rows back. I couldn’t help it. Maybe, subconsciously, I wanted him to get his kids out of there. They did clear out, but they cheered loudly for the Orioles even though we wer down 7 by the third.
In there place came the mother and her 2 children. They were shooed away by the husband-wife couple.
I didn’t talk up the ball girl. It wasn’t Kirsten.
Orioles play a day game tomorrow and I doubt they’ll get 5000 fans. I don’t think they got 10000 tonight. We’re number 32!
Goodbye, August! Hello, September or as we call it around here News Radio Quote Month. I can’t believe I’m still doing it after all these years. I’m wondering if I have exhausted all the great quotes from the show leaving me with the “Matthew this” or “Lisa that” quotes. Plus, I can’t believe I am still into that show. You would think I would forget it like I’ve done with Northern Exposure or The X-Files, but it hangs around here like a Month of Quotes.
I see that CapitolSwell is taking up the challenge. Bring it!
Though this team really sucks and cannot play sound fundamental baseball, it’s still fun to go down to the Yard and catch a game. Although, at times, it is very trying, but still, it beats cancer. Following the team will kill you (RIP Flanny), so only the hardcore can get through a season. I’ve been through 4 and now I have the thousand yard stare.
“Hey Joker, we ought to put you up for the congressional medal of… ugly!”

End of summer? What better way to end it with the song of summer? You don’t think this was it? Perhaps you can clue me in to the one that you thought was summertime 2011. Use the comments.
