California Golden Blogs DBD 04.09.09 3 Day Weeks and Fantasy Baseball

I used to be like all of you. A sucker working a day job, coming into the office while the sun was rising and leaving when it came down. Rinse and repeat 5 days a week. But then I realized something: 5 days a week is for suckers. That's why last week I only worked 3 days. And this week I only worked 3 days. Never again should anyone have to work Thursday or Friday. It helped that last weekend I was going to DC to see GWU Law and this weekend I'm going to New Orleans to give a talk about hippies. It also helps that I had vacation time to spare and that my boss is totally cool with me not being around, but all of that is beyond the point. 3 day weeks. It's the wave of the future, get on board while the getting's good. Except you Spazzy, we need a 5 day a week Welcome Sherriff. Four years from now, when 3 day weeks are the gold standard, you'll be able to tell your children (I'm looking at you Carp, congratulations BTW) about the origins of 3 day work weeks. You'll also have to apologize to them for the origins of HONK.

California Golden Blogs CGB Fantasy Baseball

I set up a fantasy baseball league for anyone interested. The information is below. Draft is next Tuesday (04/07/09) at 7:00 PM PST. If anyone has a problem with this time, let me know and we'll see if another day works.

 

The league is currently set for 14 managers, I can increase that to 20 if there is interest. I'm using the standard yahoo settings right now. I assume that people want Head to Head (more trash talk), any thoughts on maximum roster moves, how big we want playoffs, etc?

 

This is your spot to talk about how we want to set the league up, and what settings everybody wants.

 

League ID#: 287667
League Name: California Golden Blogs
Password: maharg
Custom League URL: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/cgb1

TwistNHook:  Thought I would front page this since the event is tomorrow.  If anybody is going, please comment inside to help coordinate with the others. 

I've pulled all the things that I saw getting multiple recs or that had a consensus to be included as comments here. If I missed anything, feel free to add it.

If you are going and want a sign, post a comment and if you want to call 'dibs' of some sort on a sign go ahead and make it clear. See the other post for instructions from God (danzig) on how to make a poster out of these on the cheap.

I just pulled the pictures that people wanted,the text ideas that people mentioned that are listed below:

California Golden Blogs The Maharg needs your help.

I know, I know. You read the title of this and right now you're assuming that I'm in jail and need bail money, maybe I'm trying to invade another SBN site all alone, Twist is possibly holding my man boob and making strange noises, or maybe I've just fallen and I can't get up. You're all wrong.

The Maharg needs your help because he's going to contribute to society, and he's going to contribute the first weekend in April at an academic conference. The genre of my presentation protests, and naturally there's only one protest that I care(d) about in recent memory, the tree sitters. So I ask you, if you have any information or topics that you think would be good, or helpful or in any way relevant to a presentation on tree sitters, bring it here. The abstract of what I'll be presenting is below, and I've got a general idea of how it will go (5 minutes of general summary before I throw up a picture of Dumpster Muffin and let the audience bask in her glory for 10 minutes before 5 minutes of questions), but I want to make sure I hit some of the finer details of the events, like the discord between the sitters and the people on the ground towards the end when both were reaching agreements that the others weren't consulted on. I figure this is about as solid an audience as there will be, and once I have a finished presentation, I promise to share with all of you everything that's going on (except yellowfever, I refuse to let that guy see what I'm doing). So without further ado, here's what I'm doing:

I'm gonna be adding the taglines as individual comments, REC the ones you like the most, and if you have a new idea separate them out so people can vote accordingly. Bonus points for combining memes, negative points for things Twist likes.

Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Kill Flanders. Bon Appetit.

California Golden Blogs My Trip to Wazzou, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Kevin Riley's Family

Mine eyes have seen the glory of CougCenter, but until last saturday mine eyes had never seen the glory of Pullman, WA. After 5 hours, 1 speeding ticket (that may or may not have only been given because we're Cal fans and the trooper was a jealous curmudgen) and about a million miles of farmland, me and 3 friends reached Martin Stadium and started the adventure that would be known as the worst loss in Coug history.

If you have to ask, don't ever read anything I write again. Come to think of it, everyone shouldn't read anything I write. Just give this a caption.

California Golden Blogs Football Preview

Rivals has us ranked #31 for the preseason and has their review here. If any of you are have the procrastinators at work that I am, it's at least a decent read. Evidently it really is Nate Longshore's time, as he gets more coverage than Kevin Riley. I would have thought that Best would get some return duties, with Jackson gone I think of him as probably the most elusive and definitely the fastest player on our team. Although really, what does Rivals know about Tedford's plans. I'm still waiting for the anouncement that squirtle will be part of our special teams, just so his stench distracts kickers. Or maybe we could just have Dumpster Muffin on the sidelines to flash opposing quarterbacks. Is blinding opposing players legal?
