Me: What can you do when you are 5 that you couldn't do when you were 4?

Her: I can rock and roll all night.

Me: What else?

Her: And party every day.

No need to do that - I didn't edit out mine.
(and I'm bound to have more, soon enough...)

After a crap-tacular day yesterday, today is shaping up to be another one, since either the filters on my respirator need to be changed and I inhaled lots of bad chemistry yesterday, or I have a sore throat from some illness.

The High School where I teach started a baseball team this year. I'm a coach and I split time between 1st base coaching and the bench. Most of these kids are athletic but lack baseball experience so it's been tough building up their baseball IQ. In our previous game we got our ears pinned back by Taft. In this week's game we looked like a team. We turned our first 6-4-3. It was a thing of beauty.

Go Aces!

I found copies of two great records at a yard sale: The Clean's Vehicle and McLusky's McLusky Does Dallas.

I think I'll post these to the sendspace thread.

In about a half hour, I'll be leaving for my wife's first rollerderby bout. It's pretty exciting.

One of the girls on her team chose the name of Butt Dog.

Butt Dog.

I told my wife that she and the other girls should hold a contest to see who can say "Butt Dog" the most in front of this girl. Apparently, it caught on, because when I went to drop off the water a bit ago, I heard the name Butt Dog about nine times as Butt Dog entered the building.

Butt Dog!

What rollerderby name did your wife end up going with?

I've had a genuinely great day - woke up hungover to all fuck, went to the pub to watch the FA Cup final, had a barbeque with my closest friends, and called it a night in time to do it all again tomorrow. I will retire now, and listen to some Magma.

burun - hope you have a better day tomorrow/monday.

As bad as the name is, I think you would.

This one.

Also, Mr._tools! Fish Week is coming up at the beginning of July! Any suggestions?
