No actually I was able to read the main board and register too.

Probably a home shopping network for golf art afficianados.

For archiving purposes yes, but mostly I'm saying moderation is good. The move to AP threads is creating a lot of huge threads with a number of good topics within them and sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees.

In preparation for the new season the rest period for inactive threads before they are archived has been shortened from 45 days to just one month, so threads will be dropping off the main page much more quickly. I also cleaned up the "Game Recounts Archive," "The KTE Archive," and sent the "CPF Parody challenge" threads to Valhalla. There are a number of "monster threads" out there that are taking up a lot of server space and while we at the CPF pride ourselves on not having many rules, I put out a plea for sanity that you consider whether or not your topic of discussion needs to be in an "All-Purpose" thread or if it has the legs to stand in a shorter thread of its own. Thanks!

Nothing warms the cockles of my heart more than seeing an IGT.

Wow, SoSH is open to view without registering again and it looks like I could even register to post now. What happened to the wait list?

Eggplant would get lots of bases on balls because it would be hard for any pitcher to locate Eggplant's strike zone. However, pinch runners would be necessary becauase Eggplant would be doubled up every time.

As a kid it took me a long time to warm up to baseball. Until about the age of ten I considered myself a New York baseball fan, but never really watched the sport. However, despite that I always leaned toward the Mets over the Yankees. Partly, I liked the stories about the '69 Miracle Mets better than the majesty and aura of the Yankee dynasties. Then there was the game in 1980 my father went to won by a walk-off homer by Steve Henderson and the way the fans at Shea went wild. The next step in my becoming a diehard Mets fan came in 1983. My dad was excited that Seaver was back with the team and we watched several games on TV. Being a novice baseball spectator, I wasn't too impressed by Seaver, but did like that the Mets had players named Hubie and Mookie. The more I followed the Mets the more Mookie Wilson became my favorite player. Of course, he's most remembered for diving from a passed ball and hitting a dribbler between Buckners legs, but before being overshadowed by Keith, Daryl & Doc he was really the heart of the team with his speed and grace. He may just be one of the nicest people ever to play the game. One thing that impressed me is that he's devoutly Christian and into clean living, and yet amid all the wild antics of the 1980s Mets he never seemed judgemental of his teammates. I almost met Mookie in 1987 when he came to my (soon-to-be) high school for an autograph-signing fundraiser. While I got autographs from Tim Teufel and Lee Mazzili, Mookie's line was way too long and I never got to the front. The line was long not just because Mookie was popular but because Mookie was taking his time to chat with the fans and write personalized messages to them. I was excited when Mookie came back to coach the Mets in the 1990's & as you saw in the Photo of the Week thread I saw him bat in the exhibition game against the Tides. Anyhow I've rambled on long enough. I need to slow down my posting rate because I like being Mookie Wilson.

I don't think anything in this forum could be described as necessarry. It's a whole lot of unneccessarry things. But fun.

Ah, $5.75 to see the Beatles (and no TicketBastard "service fees" I bet). Probably a small fortune then, but still. Then again most accounts say the show sounded like crap, if you could hear anything over the screaming. Still, it's the Beatles.

I don't think I'll read the whole list before I die. OE: It's not that hard after all.

Jill Carroll is not amused.

We'd also bring back Banner Day. Then there should be a Caustic Fucktard Night.

That's a lot of movies.
