In my 20s – when I had hair – I'd get chris Elliott. but nobody ever got his product pitching correct. Hey, are you the Cheetos guy? hey are you the Tostitos guy (or Doritos...whichever one he didn't do)
Back in my younger days, I got Billy Baldwin more than once…this was around the Flatliners/Backdraft/Sliver/Fair Game films…basically, my peak years in the early ‘90’s.
catch up, man...that was a couple of days ago! ;-)
it was a weak-ish field – terunofuji (Yokozuna/grand champion) pulled out due to injury and a lot of the other high-ranked wrestlers underperformed. but even with that, there were still lots of higher-ranked wrestlers between him and the championship.
going to the first "regional tour" (between the main bashos) event on Sunday at ise-jingu. hopefully he'll be there basking in the glory!
Hawks - down 30 points midway through the 2nd, come storming back to snip the Celtics winning streak. Strangely enough, the Hawks will play the Celtics again in 2 days.
He’s been on fire! My worry about the Cubs is starting pitching; would be nice to sign Montgomery but I think ownership wants to stay under the tax. Right now we have Steele and Imanaga and then a bunch of meatballs, unless one of the pitching prospects (mainly Horton) gets a call up.
Btw I think a big reason ppl are so gun shy on spending this offseason is because of how disastrous the Mets’ season was last year after spending big. If Dodgers win this year after spending big, I think it may be a bonanza next offseason
I went for one last run around the cherry blossoms this morning. I saw an older.guy wearing a knit hat with script Cal. Gave him a Go Bears and got a smile but otherwise no reply.
[WBB] Iowa - D1's high-scoring team - only scored 6 points in the 2nd and had only a single score from the field in 4th and still won thanks to WVU's foul trouble and Hawkeye's solid free-throw shooting
WVU played really good defense in 4th Q. CC only scored from free throw line in the 4th Q, i believe. still finished w/ 30+ points and broke the single season D1 scoring record.
One other thing about that song. I know it's old because it references Datsuns. That brand was discontinued in 1986 and wasn't resurrected until 2013. I once had a Datsun 510 wagon.
Which celebrity do you think you look like? Okay to mash-up various people
I did look like Dean Cain. Now I'm sliding toward Pat Morita.
how the mighty have fallen!
(altho, Dean Cain himself has fallen. so maybe you look like current-day Dean Cain?)
In my 20s and 30s I got Jason Biggs all the time and it annoyed me. Now I get Nathan Fielder and find myself missing the Biggs days!
Forrest Gump. I get hollered at regularly when on a run. In terms of real people, I have been mistaken for Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead.
I have been told I look like Will Clark. And I did, except that his eyes are brown and mine are blue.
do you normally wear eyeblack? and make a Neuschler(sp?) face?
No, to both. Especially the Nuschler face. I'm not quite that intense.
Matt Damon.
really?

It’s been a slow but steady decline ever since….

It's okay. Ohtani is going to play, but Seiya Suzuki is going to have a better season than him. He hit two more homers yesterday.

Go Bears!!!
I went for one last run around the cherry blossoms this morning. I saw an older.guy wearing a knit hat with script Cal. Gave him a Go Bears and got a smile but otherwise no reply.
I went for a run /
Around the cherry blossoms /
I saw a Cal hat.
maybe if the people ever revolt against SGBear's stupid polls, you can start w/ a daily Cal themed haiku ...
i was there checking out the cherry blossoms last night!
it was not wearing a Cal hat.
it was a very pleasantly warm evening for this time of year.

Great poll! I pringled by “Billy” and LOLed at “plain ugly”
