The Swamp

Scottie

I fill out brackets every year but this year has to be the most difficult in memory.

Anyway . . . bump! There's 10 of us but there's still time to enter. So c'mon!

TT's username is a classic, by the way.

Scottie

Anyone get in touch with GaryClark?

Scottie

Oh, I don't know. I was just being a facetious mopron. But let's say, oh, 1968. One concert bootleg that I always wanted to hear is the Miles Davis show at the PNE in Vancouver, summer of '86, when Wynton Marsalis showed up and Miles kicked him off of the stage. ETA: I've looked and looked and looke...

A fragment of the original Jazz thread is HERE . So let's start off with some classic Miles Davis, before he went insane. Kind Of Blue , 1959 (full album): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB669XXjnUg Miles Davis – trumpet, band leader Julian "Cannonball" Adderley – alto saxophone Paul Chamb...

Great photo from today's Montreal Gazette:

The article from which that photo comes to us is right here.

Okay . . . NOTE: Logged in as "admin" I looked up the user name "Le Scottie" and edited it to simply "Scottie". The forum immediately changed all of the "Le Scottie" posts to "Scottie". Then I logged in as "Scottie" and it took right away. ...

First round upset picks? Whatcha got? I'll take No. 12 Ole Miss over No. 5 Wisconsin in the West Regional. And No. 12 Oregon over No. 5 Oklahoma State in the Midwest. Although, damn, it is hard to have any faith in the Pac-12 teams. That makes it tempting to take Minnesota over UCLA (but I won't qui...

It's not brilliant. The Midwest, on the other hand, is going to be a bloodbath.

Scottie

None of those teams, particularly the #1 seeds, are anywhere near as good as Duke. Y'know, Duke University is far superior to any team that ever existed anywhere ever. Gonzaga? Who the hell is Gonzaga? Does anyone even know where Gonzaga is? Somewhere in Mexico? Canada? And they are a #1? And Duke i...

PR -v- Japan just underway on an increasingly chilly eve at neo-Candlestick. This Kenta Maeda kid can really throw; pitches for the Hiroshima Carp. That is apropos of nothing other than I wanted to say "Hiroshima Carp". Yeah, he can throw. Problem is that the Ricans can really hit. And ano...

Scottie

Utah is unquestionably the best 5-13 team in Pac-10,12 history.

Scottie

Bump.

Scottie

Thank you! Very much. I was hoping someone would check in with a report via a mobile.

Solid, Keg.

Scottie

anyone watching HNIC right now? Those Vancouver uniforms are pretty cool. They are rather suave, aren't they? Gorgeous unis. The WHL Vancouver Giants wore them one night (the old Vancouver Millionaires threads); Bob Andrechuk and I were there. He bought a jersey, I believe, and I merely picked up a...

Yes, I'm going to edit the configuration to enable embedding. Yes, soon. Meanwhile . . . Didier Drogba and the Ivorian civil war 25-minute documentary (Al Jazeera). Football Rebels is a 5-part series, presented by Eric Cantona, focusing on "football heroes whose social conscience led them to ch...

The frickin' geniuses at University of California, Berkeley, really need to do a study about why the University of California, Berkeley, men's basketball team gets blown out of any tournament, conference or national, in their first game seemingly every single bloody time.

Scottie

I'm not giving up on restoring the database yet. There are still a couple of things that I want to try; thing is I try them late at night Pacific so nobody else is on the forum at the time. But . . . let's say this. If at the end of the weekend, we're still in the exact shoes we are in now, we'll go...

Scottie

What's on the go with the Notre Dame Flaming Irish unis? Criminy. Right out of the Oregon Ducks' catalog.

Scottie

No new accounts registered (starting Monday) have got that notification, right?

If that's the case, I'll unsticky this thread. Although I'll give it until tomorrow morning, just to be sure.

I don't suppose there is a thread identifying who is now who, eh? Holy Chaz = sancarlos Howard Test2 = howard Le Scottie = Scottie . . . honestly, though, are there any real mysteries? A couple I suppose. OHIOCPA = hdo Juan Lavacoches = Mr Carwash Shirley = Rerun/Dave Semplica Girls = bapo! SlimChr...

It's pretty much universal except instead of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, it is Asante, Bongo, Cambaybolongo, Dengue.

The upside-down rass avatar is, sadly, unaffected by gravity.

I'm a-gonna guess that GSP wins that fight via homicide.

Fwiw, I use Adobe Acrobat 9 (Standard). And it does, by far, anything I need to do with it. You don't need Pro to combine documents. 600KB is nothing. They should get that as an attachment with no problems at all. You only have to worry about attachments when you get up around 10 MB. Or, less common...

Scottie

I think I just made things worse. I downloaded the latest Adobe reader and it looks like you need to pay adobe for any file combining. Acrobat Reader won't be of any use to you. You need Adobe Acrobat, from which you can create PDFs. Unless the documents are confidential, personal, whathaveyou, any...

Boston College is making life very interesting for Miami right now. It's on WSBK here. It's also on ESPN2, methinks.

Scottie

Thanks. I'll give them a listen.

"Wandering Rocks" is the tenth chapter of Ulysses, by the way.

To reiterate what I posted in the Booze thread . . . Loose teas foremost. There is no comparing real loose tea with tea trapped in bleached gauze bags. Bagged tea also is typically far inferior quality-wise. So. My favorite loose teas are Darjeelings. Blends in order of strength, Scottish, Irish and...

Scottie

Loose leaf teas, my man. They are still inexpensive, but so much fresher and more flavorful if you can find fresh leaves. Loose tea would fucking anything. I live on the stuff. Darjeelings are my favorite. And there are so many varieties. Wifey loves the stuff as well. With her it is Scottish and E...

That was a tremendous baseball game (despite the two horrific throwing errors on ground balls).

Scottie

really? i got the impression he was left with a taste of libertarian. Penn Jillette is a Libertarian. That is to say he is a conservative. He's a conservative that doesn't buy into AGW which, on Planet Jerloma, unquestionably makes him a corporate-funded lunatic kook. Which, of course, he is anythi...

Yep. And I see Pentagonz is here as well.

UPDATE: Late last night I tested out the most recent database, the one that was in use with the "upgraded" vBulletin version 5 software, on a dummy phpBB3 board just to see if I could integrate the DB with the forum software. It was decidedly not pretty. vBulletin reformatted the database ...

No, no. I don't get a pass any more than anyone else gets a pass. It's still The Swamp, after all.

Ugh. Missed that. Great story, though, eh?

I'm still immersed in a small orange, as it were.

Scottie

Even despite the number, it's not even necessarily accurate. Corporate greed and money are the main reason for GW denial. They just use the anti-scientific stance of the religious right as pawns. Still laughing at this confused muddle. Because the pro-AGW movement is not corporate-driven, right 'lo...
