*sigh* I need a drink.

Dad and sister lost their jobs today. Dad had 27 years in the company, about 20 of them running it. Sis worked in billing. Rat bastard owners couldn't even man up and fire Dad in person - they sent minions to do it. So much for loyalty.

Sis says Dad is taking it well. Kind of saw it coming, sort of a relief. The whole company is being shut down so he doesn't have to be the one to fire everyone else. Sis started drinking and playing Wii at 10 a.m. I think Mom and I are more p1ssed than they are.

Sorry to hear that Grove... that ever happens to me and I'm moving to some 3rd World Country with a nice beach where I can live on pennies a day...

The shipping guy at KS job is from the DR, he told KS that you could rent a 2 br house in a nice area for less than 200 a month.

For another 200, you can get a maid and your yard work done.

Is this 'yard work' you speak of a code word for something else and is it performed by the hot maid??

Have you seen what the avg woman in DR looks like? Ssssmoking hot.  There's a reason they rank well at Miss Universe.  Its one of the reasons JT digs the all-inclusives in DR.  Love the scenery.

Seriously though you can get live in maid and separate landscaper, for less than player hater reunion liquor bill.

Okay, so the musical chairs continue. As Pep tells the band, "Stay Tuned."

So, let's see if Pep can keep up with the game. Effective with the 2011 season:
Liberty League Lineup
Hobart
Union
St. Lawrence
Rochester
Rensselaer
Springfield
Merchant Marine
Worcester Tech

Empire Actual 8:
Alfred
Ithaca
Utica
Hartwick
Fisher
Frostburg State
Salisbury
Buffalo State(?)

Is this where everyone will sit in 2011?

That would be a lot of travel for the E8 with Salisbury and Frostburg

No, Pep -- Springfield's move takes effect in 2012.  In 2011, LL has 7 and E8 has 9.  In 2012, LL has 8 and E8 had 8.  Now, here's the rub:  from what I understood, the Frostburg/Salisbury entry was just a two-year deal.  Thus, in 2013, this would leave the E8 with 6 football members at present -- not enough for a Pool A bid without another exemption.

[EDIT:  Let me correct this, since I just located the info regarding Buffalo State.  They join the E8 in 2012.  Therefore, here are the correct totals:

2011:  LL 7/E8 8 (SPR, FRO, SAL in E8)
2012:  LL 8/E8 8 (SPR in LL -- FRO, SAL, BUF in E8)
2013:  LL 8/E8 6 (SPR in LL -- BUF in E8 -- FRO, SAL TBD)]

I like the way you think, U89...


JT --- exactly... great scenery down there in the D.R.

See anything in there??

I was watching the local news last night on NBC and they did a small piece on this story with an exterior shot of the pub.  Not sure which location they filmed. I think they have 3-4.

Suggests it's the W. 45th St. location.  Looks like ASCAP and the Boss aren't friends right now because of ASCAP's attempt to tie Bruce to the suit.

Shot The Dude an email yesterday about it, he said it was a long story, he'd tell me the whole scoop sometime. Looks like it ended up being some publicity for the pubs, so not all bad.

Speaking of pubs, is there a lamp around here?...

When did Springfield get voted into the LL?

On a separate note, TGP fits most of these:

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN AN IRISH FAMILY

1) You will never play professional basketball.

2) You swear very well.

3) At least one of your cousins is a fireman, cop, bar owner,funeral home
owner or holds political office. And you have at least one aunt who is a
nun or uncle who's a priest.

4) You think you sing very well.

5) You have no idea how to make a long story short!

6) There isn't a big difference between you losing your temper or killing
someone...

7) Many of your childhood meals were boiled. Instant potatoes were a
mortal sin.

8) You have never hit your head on a ceiling.

9) You spent a good portion of your childhood kneeling in prayer.

10) You're strangely poetic after a few beers.

11) Some punches directed at you are from legacies of past generations.

12) Many of your sisters and/or cousins are named Mary, Catherine or
Eileen ..... and there is at least one member of your family wi th the
full name of Mary Catherine Eileen

13) Someone in your family is very generous. It is more than likely you.

14) You may not know the words, but that doesn't stop you from singing..

15) You can't wait for the other guy to stop talking before you start
talking.

16) You're not nearly as funny as you think you are .... but what you lack
in talent, you make up for in frequency.

17) There wasn't a huge difference between your last wake and your last
keg party.....

18) You are, or know someone, named Murph.

19) If you don't know Murph then you know Mac. If you don't know Murph or
Mac, then you know Sully. Then you probably know McMurphy.

20) You are genetically incapable of keeping a secret.

21) You have Irish Alzheimer's... you forget everything but the grudges!

22) 'Irish Stew' is a euphemism for 'boiled leftovers.'

23) Your skin's ability to tan.... not so much.

24) Childhood remedies for the common cold often included some form of
whiskey.

25) There's no leaving a family party without saying goodbye for at least
45 minutes.

26) At this very moment, you have at least two relatives who are not
speaking to each other. Not fighting, mind you, just not speaking to each
other.

JT is dark (from Spain) Irish/Scot and tanned like a mf'er as a kid.  As an adult, not so much.  Wife is like photo paper... one hour and bang she coppertone, but she isn't Irish.  And we are talking a tan people would kill for.
