let’s see if I understand that concept. The state is trying me for murder. I wanna be free, so I admit everything tricking them into releasing me?
Hmmm. Novel approach, I think I need to mull that over a bit more to appreciate all the subtleties
.

Wow. Way to oversimplify so that the point gets lost. Did I say admit everything?

jeffrey d – you need a geography lesson, maybe two or three. 100 miles SW of Key Largo and you think you’re on the Yucatan Peninsula? Or maybe Cuba? Dude – you don’t even need a Passport! :mrgreen:

Keylargo – I know the Yucatan is more than 100 miles off of the Keys, but you said you were 100 miles southwest of Keylargo. The closest land south or west of the Keys is Mexico and Cuba.

I didn’t figure you were actually blogging to us from Cuba :)

I’m kidding nolie, by the way.

Everybody have a good Christmas? This was actually one of the better ones I’ve had since I was a kid. Had a good time.

I just watched DOB’s video on us and the Phillies for next year. He talks southern, mid-western with a touch of Yankee talk. Maybe that’s just me and my imagination, who knows.

– winshield wipers …..the good kinds

– money ….not much,but better than nothing

Worst gifts:

– wallet

– body wash

– armour all kit

– shirt from girlfriend that is too tight, makes me look gay

All in all though I was appreciative of everything I got.

Y’all?

How could I leave off the worst gift of all! My girlfriends parents took us all to the movies as their Christmas gifts to us. What we saw? That new Narnia movie. Big time bore. I’m so sick of these digital movies anyways. They aren’t going anywhere though as long as they keep rollin in the money.

Braveheart, you’re wrong, or mislead by my post. Wipers came from Wal-Mart, shirt too, and the wallet to go with that car kit cleaner and body wash. Body wash is the smell of a greasy redneck with bad breath. Makes you fit right in.

Kidding.

Wipers came from Wal-Mart (they did, I admit), wallet from Belk, cleaner kit from Wally World too, body wash from Bed,Bath,Beyond, shirt from TJ Maxx.

Braveheart, I swear I shopped at the fancy stores in town and luckily I waited a little longer to see I can get the same exact thing at WalMart for half the price. Now clothes and stuff like that I wouldn’t get there, but plenty of other stuff there is definitely worth getting to save you money.

We couldn’t have had Uggla this year? I say that because having him in the middle of our lineup probably means we beat SF and maybe even Philly to head to the World Series. We were desperately missing Chipper and Prado’s production in that playoff series. Uggla could’ve made up for a lot of missed production.

Oh well, maybe we can string together 12,874 miracle comebacks again next season to punch in a playoff spot.

Kidding, I think we’ll be just fine.

Hope everyone’s had a good weekend/holiday.

We’re out in Portland for a few days, then taking the train to Seattle on Tuesday. Portland’s a really cool, laid-back town, and someone forgot to tell them that record stores were dead — we went to three within a 10-block radius today, including two in The Pearl, cool neighborhood with terrific restaurants, bars and nightclubs — and did we mention record stories? Oh, a and a Doc Martens store.

Spent nearly two hours in Everyday Music, which is probably the only record store I’ve been in that has as selection of LPs and CDs as extensively as Amoeba in L.A. It’s a couple of blocks from Powell’s books — a bookstore literally the size of an entire city block.

Got a still-sealed copy of The Fabulous Johnny Cash LP and a Hank Williams as Luke The Drifter LP, Movin’ On. It was a good day.

MIBravesFan: Just saw you mentioned wanting to see The King’s Speech. We saw it tonight, just walked back to our hotel 15 minutes ago after seeing it here in downtown Portland. Great movie, and Colin Firth is every bit as good as you’ve heard. Oscar-worthy performance.

Haha, same here. Dad was saying on Christmas Morning how funny it is that our (the kids’) piles get smaller and smaller each year—and it’s not that we don’t get much, it’s just that what we want is smaller and there aren’t any toys. Kinda sad in a way, but we gotta grow up I guess. :P

Hope everybody had a great Christmas. Don’t know what to think of this quick story, but it was funny: My 2-year-old didn’t want to share his cookies or his gallon of milk (he’s the only one in the house who drinks it regularly so he thinks it belongs to him.) So he informed me we were going to leave Santa Claus some bacon and a Coke…And we did. Only in Arkansas, right?

WOW. Sounds like a lot of you folks had a white Christmas. All our snow was melted down near the flat lands by Christmas eve, but we got a fresh 3″ here at home about mid day on Sunday.

Rare for us to not have a foot of snow where I live at this point.

Tough going down south with a bit of snow, considering there is minimal snow removal equipment.

I trust everybody had a wonderful Christmas!
