Meet the Nosebleeds

Sounds great, Adam. We look forward to being addicted to two blogs (especially my sports industry graduate-degree husband). Anyway, speaking of coming to Portland and sports, there may be just a few people at your show tomorrow night interested in how the draft is going.

Go Beavers!

Becca

Speaking of the draft that doesn’t involve weaponry, at least not as part of that for which one is being drafted, go Joakim, Al, Corey, and Taurean. Looks like Europe for Lee, but hey, Europe on a salary ain’t such a bad deal.

Looks like the Beavers own the CWS, Becca. Cool.

“Panelists participating in the two-hour live show will be humorist, screenwriter and author Roy Blount, Jr.; Amy Dickinson, an author and syndicated newspaper advice columnist; and Adam Felber, a New York-based writer and performer.”

Adam, you were quite hush-hush about your recent move. I, of course, assumed you moved out of Long Beach (home of the massive earthquake of 1936) and in closer to the heart of LA for commuting purposes, right? Into a newly constructed, earthquake rated apartment complex, with sturdy doorways to stand in while the whole world is rocking and rolling, as it sometimes does out there. Take it from a native Californian (okay, I moved to a pig farm in Alexis, NC when I was six months old. So what?), you want choose your housing with the utmost care.

Don’t forget those pesky Twins.
And my alma mater (”N” stands for “Nowledge”, yuk yuk) the Nebraska Cornhuskers, for football. Now if you want to see a game with the best fans in the world, Lincoln is the place to be.
Other than that, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.

Apparently y’all missed Adam’s central point—as illustrated by “Ed, myself and several other fellow fans have a healthier outlet for all that hot air.” Take yer sports talk to the other site, and leave the comedy and politico-social commentary to this one.

I know, I know. A girl can dream.

I hope you all heard the news broadcasts - one of my 3 fraud cases was dropped by the court today. Sharp lawyers trump the law every time - money well spent, I’d say.

Hey, maggots, Lemuel was here during the past week and not one of you gave me a heads-up. WTF? I’m offering more money than any of you could ever hope to see in your entire miserable lives, and you don’t give me a call? Okay I’ll double it. Now find the little weasel, already!

Harrumph. When there´s a separate birding and humor site, we´ll talk about retracting the sports comments.

Go [team name erased to maintain anonymity]!

My sports related nosebleed came from a boxing match w/ an older kid that decided to make it fair by getting on his knees. I think I landed two good rights, but don’t remember much after that…

Ann, you took the words out of my mouth - I was just hoping that this means the sports talk (which I also find largely uninteresting) will move to the other site… It’s probably too good to be true.

Oh I dunno, I think the sports chatter, like the bird chatter, like the comics chatter, like the talking about family members chatter, like the weather chatter all adds to the charm of the place. It helps give a better picture of who we all are and helps make a connection.

I hope it stays.

Actually, I’ve been rethinking the remark, and I’ve decided that David and becca are right - it adds an extra zest to the general flavor of the conversation, even if I personally don’t give a toot about who wins. I’m just touchy on the subject of professional sports because of the exorbitant amount Al Davis’ Raiders have cost the taxpayers of Oakland…

I’m all in favor of sweaty talk, whether it’s sports or whatever. I haven’t even brought up golf! Now that is something to get excited about!! Nothing like watching a four foot putt on the telly during the second round of the Wachovia classic! And the women golfers! WHOO YEAH!
I now return you to your normally scheduled programming.

It’s not that I mind the sports talk, per se, it’s just that I don’t follow any sports and don’t know anything about the teams, so I skim over the postings and miss everything. You might as well be speaking a different language.

And I feel so left out! Not left out enough to learn about sports, but still…

Oh wait(or rather Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me!), tonight’s the big night for the Pacific Northwest Felbernauts. Have a great time. “Hi” to Adam. Get home safely after all that celebratory post show nonsense.

Yeh, no spoilers. Adam wouldn’t like that, would ya, pisan? I’ve cleared my calendar for the summer and I’m at your disposal, as dey say. Have muscle - will travel, right? I’m checking the mail box every day for da plane ticket to sunny California. Ya did send, right?

Good luck tonight and if ya get mobbed by a couple of attractive red heads, since I’m not dere ta protect ya (hint!), just roll wit’ it, pal. Send the ticket.

And they really are very decent human beings to boot. And ya gotta love those world class hugs Joakim and his mother share. These are lovable Gators, unlike some of the criminals of a couple of decades ago. OK, now back to things fanatically apathetic.

Now, there’s a brilliant idea! Impeach Cheney; then we have a clear field to impeach Bush, since I don’t think there’s anybody else he could appoint who would be as bad as Dead-Eye Dick…

The Dickster really is in a class, and a world, of his own, and his ultimate “home for eternity,” if such is what awaits human beings, both real and apparent, was wondrously imagined by Dante Alighieri (confession: I was rusty on the spelling of Alighieri, but that’s what dictionaries are for, Lobster love ‘em).

Yo, Portlanders, you got the point guard who floor-managed the Gators to two national championships. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by Taurean’s value to the team.

Cool!
