Last Call: ‘No Good Last Call Stories’ Edition
By
I know this will break the hearts of those of you who stop by the Sportress on Tuesdays for Last Call, but I have no good last call tale for your amusement. To be frank, between you, me and the lamppost. And the desk, this whole bit was feeling a bit tired and played out anyhow.
So, fend for yourselves, kiddos. I got nothing.

The album cover for the Soul Asylum EP, Clam Dip & Other Delights, featuring bassist Karl Mueller. May Karl rest in peace. He passed away from complications with throat cancer in 2005.
On that happy note, have a splendid evening.
Hey folks, Internet hadn’t been working for a while. Best part of it was that they insisted that I needed to call from my place (I was using skype to call from the uni 10 minutes away). Turned out the problem was that the line was disconnected at the junction box on the highway – over a mile away from my place.
Sculptor: How as Caprica ep. 2. Totally forgot it was on (as I generally do with TV shows).
@semper_ubi_sub_ubi,by 2 I mean ep. 3 that played this past week.
I have a mobile, but I pay by the minute, so calling from the uni was cheaper. I’ve spent nearly 15$ on a call for customer service before waiting for help. Then again, nobody ever calls me so texting with my plan gets me by quite nicely.
@semper_ubi_sub_ubi, IMO, better than the first – I’d almost forgotten it was on. Getting more interesting (slight spoiler here – the girl’s in the machine) – so there’s lots of places to go with it.
@Sculptor?!?, While I think that they have done a decent job of explaining the need for intelligent cylons, I still don’t get the threat that they need the cylons that shoot shit up.
Of course, I forget how star wars solved that problem. It’s not a game-breaker for me deciding to like to series or not – but I was curious to see what answer they gave.
@semper_ubi_sub_ubi, I don’t think they’ve really definied it, outside of “defense contractor”. The same reason we apparently need newer, more deadly weapons. The Cylon is (so far) a security/protection droid – there has been no mention of wars between the 12 worlds (or otherwise).
Wasn’t Soul Asylum supposed to be the “next big thing” back in ’92? Regardless, I still like Black Gold.
I figured out the appeal of Kings of Leon. They’re a group of gingers and apparently, people like to follow gingers around incessantly. Want more proof… Who in their right fucking mind would follow Phish around?
@James Brown, Well, Gingers are a fascinating species. I mean, they’re not quite human, but can do all the things that regular humans can. They have no souls, yet still feel pain when you punch them in the face for being a Ginger, or stab them with your spork because they’re a Ginger, or kick them in their reproductive organs because apparently Gingers breed like any normal human. Where was I?
@Rob in WI, Discussing the many ways to hurt Gingers…
@James Brown, Well, you can kick a Ginger, stab a Ginger, shoot a Ginger, punch a Ginger, throw a Ginger from a moving car, toss a Ginger off a building, tie a Ginger to the front of a train that leaves Baltimore going towards New York at 75 mph, and tie another Ginger to a train leaving New York on the same track towards Baltimore at 85 mph, but THAT only works best if you have both trains FULL of Gingers, so as to maximize the pain…
@Rob in WI, Have you also had a ginger ex-girlfriend?
@James Brown, Um… why do you ask?
@Rob in WI, I had one, too. Every night was blowjob night with her.
@James Brown, That sounds miserable. Or the exact opposite of miserable.
@James Brown, Druggies. So like you said, “who in their right mind?”
@Sculptor?!?, True, druggies also followed around a stoned fat Mexican wearing tie dye.
@James Brown, Not to mention some dude what calls himself Hootie, and that hack known as Dave Matthews.
Huh. I think we’re inadvertently making a case against drug abuse.
@Sculptor?!?, I know Hootie’s press agent… And I do ask her how many times she questions her job.
Can someone actually explain this sudden (over the last few years) hatred of Gingers? I mean, it’s funny as a meme, but I don’t actually “get it”.
@Sculptor?!?, Gingers might be the new “Mexican” for all I know.
@James Brown, wait, spic and span bashing went out of style? when? was there a memo?
@Sculptor?!?, I don’t know, really. I think when they gave Mencia his own show is when I saw the death of it…
@James Brown, hrm. good point. and Lopez continuing the trend helped too, I’m sure. But Gingers as a replacement? I dunno, Coco’s been around a long time. Then again, it sorta did start in England…
@Sculptor?!?, Wait, define “recent”… I thought their lack of a soul was quite evident.
One again, Erin Andrews is less than 10 miles from me, and me without my Erin Andrews Net.
I love all the great words and phrases Musberger and Lavin has been using to describe this game “tenacious defense,” “slow,” and “deliberate”. I guess they can’t say boring.
@RATL, what are you watching?
@Sculptor?!?, Wisconsin vs. Michigan St. Erin is the most interesting thing at this game.
@RATL, Says the obviously unbiased Last Caller.
“Georgia Tech by 24″
@Rob in WI, I’m not saying either team is bad. Just boring. And I’ve watching two Women’s basketball games in the last two weeks.
@RATL, wow, that’s harsh.
