With the contract he's got Griffey is going to turn into the hot potato of MLB. Hold on to him just long enough then ditch him right before he proves himself to be worthless, sticking some other team with the rest of his crappy contract. Some might argue he is there already.

I heard they only gave away 500 for some unknown and unspecified reason.

Just FYI, I went to re-upload my sig and it gave me an error saying it was either the wrong format or too big. It's sized down to 7kb so I don't think it was too large and it was in jpg format. I know you guys are probably swamped so no hurry.

WOO HOO! I've missed my soxtalk fix.

Great post, thanks.

New Sig

KW would have to be a complete idiot to say anything different until a deal is final. I'm not hopeful, there is too much money tied up in too few people.

BE GONE

I agree, I can't believe she didn't make it out of the first round.

How about these...

It's a good start but it needs an RSS feed and/or a proper web page for viewing entries.

Congrats. I really have nothing important to say here, I'm just spamming up my totals too.

That is freaking awesome. Now I have two blog sites!

There's a method to how the numbers are assigned but you don't need to know it. Just count up the number of pearls in a row and look at the value as I listed it in my post. It works for Pearls Before Swine III too but you need to know how to figure out the values for higher numbers. I got to level 21 last night before I had to quit because it was taking too much time.

You guys are smokin' me. It's taking me forever to get to 1000. I guess I should try posting more huh

We have a brand new manager who has never managed before. That doesn't scream "Going for it!" to me.

Umm... how about now, is the board ok now?

***SOLUTION*** Don't look if you don't want to know. Ok, it's a little complicated but here goes. What you need to do is try to get it down to the point where there is one marble in each of three rows on his turn. First, you need to assign each row a value based on how many pearls are in that row: 6 = 110 5 = 101 4 = 100 3 = 11 2 = 10 1 = 1 So the starting configuration works out like this 3 pearls + 4 pearls + 5 pearls + 6 pearls Which equals 11+100+101+110 Which totals 322 What you need to do is remove pearls so that the digits in the total are all even, zero counts as even. For instance, if you go first and remove the whole row containing four pearls the equation becomes 11+101+110 = 222 Now say he removes two pearls from the row with three, 1+101+110 =212. You can remove two pearls from the bottom row with six, leaving four. The equation is now 101+100+1 = 202. Continue removing pearls leaving totals with even digits in this fashion outlined above. Make sure to leave at least one pearl in three rows, don’t get down to two. Sooner or later he will remove pearls so that there is one row of one and one row of either two or three and one row with >3 pearls. On your turn remove pearls in the >3 row so that there is one row with one pearl, one row with two pearls, and one row with 3 pearls. At this point you should be able to get him down to one pearl in each of three rows pretty easy. If he takes one from the two row then take two from the three row, or vice versa. Once you are down to one pearl in each of three rows on his turn it’s all over. If he happens to take the one pearl row in the one, two, three scenario then just take one from the three row leaving two rows of two. If he takes away one pearl take away the remaining two row. If he takes away a two row take away one pearl from the remaining row. It sounds complicated but once you do it a couple of times it becomes instinctual.

Not as good as the Ebay sale of the week but I thought you might find this entertaining: Link

I enjoy Rush's show and have listened to it for a long time. I'm glad he's back but at the same time I agree with apu. Excuse me while I go wash my own mouth out now

What were you guys expecting from this movie? It had a much more solid story than the second movie. The action & special effects were much cooler. The amount of philosophical jabbering & symbolism were more in line with the first movie. The only think I didn't like was the dopey dialogue between Neo & Trinity but they even kept that to a minimum. That and the very end could have been a little more solid. But other than that I thought it was great whether you were just looking for an action movie or if you were looking for the back story symbolism.

This hack would be nice for when BMR registers under a new name: http://mods.ibplanet.com/db/?mod=1868 And here's a mod I found to do the rss stuff: http://mods.ibplanet.com/db/?mod=1816

No an RSS feed is much cooler than the current subscribe feature, all that does is email you when there's a new post. With an RSS feed I can do whatever I want with it. I could use it in my own homepage to show the 10 newest posts at soxtalk and provide links and it would always be updated. Or I could subscibe to it using an rss fee reader like Feed Demon as an easier way to stay updated with the board.
