Brian Giles. Khalil Alpha. Subliminal bricks.

Jbox is getting bummed that more people aren't getting involved the the Mii contest. And now it's bumming me out that he's so bummed out, so somebody make some Miis please. Thank you.

Meanwhile, here's some stuff that I've discovered about the Padres recently...

First, I've discovered that Brian Giles possibly has the worst arm for a rightfielder. That's OK though, because we don't really crush on Brian Giles for his arm. We crush on him for his hoochiemama ass.

Second, the metafilterers at Metafilter have discovered video of a young Khalil Greene in 1988.


What else. What else... Oh there's this. If you stay at the Hilton enough, you can use your points to announce games for the Portland Beavers. I'd love to announce games for some professional sporting event. Whenever I play games with friends or family, I call the action and it always makes it more interesting. Tell me it isn't true. Somebody tell me it isn't true.

Fourth non-bullet bullet point: Is the infamous PETA Brick working on a subliminal level? I will admit that I haven't shopped at PetCo lately, but that's mostly because I can get a better deal on catfood at the grocery store and the last gerbil I bought from there didn't last as long as I wanted it to.

Hey, what?

Somebody should really
invent a scuba suit for gerbils. It'd save people a lot of money over the long run...

guess my member name
isn't helping the campaign out too much.  peavy had a horrible showing in iowa....

i did see a nice SUV today with a few padre stickers and a PEAVY44 license plate and I got excited that maybe it was the cy young winner himself....but it was just some random woman driving :(

then i thought...would peavy put his name on his license plate anyway? i know merriman puts lightsout on his plates but merriman is nuts.

I don't have a Wii
And I don't know anyone who does.  Are they really so prevelant?  They need to have this stuff at the library.  

Maybe an old fashioned art contest might be better.  Or have a page everyone can print out and have a coloring contest.  I'd like to color Giles.  All you'd see are his eyes and his teeth.

Kinda a Bad Picture
Everytime I tried to take a picture, he friggin' walked away and looked the other direction. Anyway, if you can't tell his eyes are supposed to be blue.

The robot....
reminds me of Sean Burroughs or Vinny Castilla.

I'd love to play the Wii. I feel like I'm missing out on the Wii sports. They sound epic.

Nice to see
"Edmunds" has the 3rd best arm in CF according to that list.
