PrintHamsterdam follows its own clock, man. It also like limericks, like this:
There once was a pirate (the story relates)
who liked to go dancing on roller skates.
He fell on his cutlass
which rendered him nutless
and virtually useless on dates.
Or this:
There once was a man named McGill,
Whose acts grew exceedingly ill,
He insisted on habits,
involving white rabbits,
and a bird with a flexible bill.
Or this:
There was a man called Dave
Who kept a dead whore in a cave
He said "I admit
I am a bit of a shit
But think of the money I save".
Oh, I could go on and on thanks to the interwebs. The history and ethos of Hamsterdam can be found just a click away.

Possible options at 133
Sam Sherlock – I have nothing to say here. Good recruit two or three years agol. I think he’s a sophomore.
Frank Martellotti – Has a great name. He’s seen some action at the college level, hasn’t really done anything of note. May not have the natural talent level of some other guys like, say, Nico Megaludis.
Bryan Pearsall – I have even less to say here.
Clone of Sanshiro Abe – Our best candidate.

Since we're talking about wrestling and Clones
I golf with a guy who was on the Iowa State wrestling team a while back and casually brought it up this weekend. I hadn’t realized how far they had fallen. Seriously, last place in the Big 12 last year, that’s bad.

Yeah.
There were five teams. With Nebraska leaving, there are just four (ISU, Okie State, Oklahoma, and Mizzou). That’s two teams less than what the NCAA says you need to have to be a conference (and have a conference tournament), so I’m not sure what they’re going to do now. They’d been operating with a waiver before this, I understand.
I think they should just merge with some western schools. Or invite UNI and some of the non-Big Ten schools around the midwest.

"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I have mixed feelings about Wartburg.
On one hand, I know a few people who went there and they’re cool.
On the other hand, those “Go Orange” commercials they used to air were (a) FUCKING AWFUL and (b) ON ALL THE TIME.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Luckily I live far enough east that I've never see a Wartburg commercial.
But my best friend’s sister did marry one of their recently great RBs. I only remember him because he had his own cheer: “Who Dat?! Hodapp!”
Outside of that, I know nothing about Wartburg.

One of my old folks was with a PA regiment (Of course!) at Gettysburg. They have a nice, clean monument for the regiment on Seminary Ridge where they fought late on the first day after the 1st Corps was deployed. It still amazes me how narrow the regimental fronts were back then. There were less than 250 men left at the time of the battle (As per usual, they lost the majority of their men outside of combat), and I haven’t measured it, but, still, tiny amount of ground for that many men.

I can’t stand any of it.
To me, there are some moral imperatives. Whatever you think about strict constructionism, the letter of the law takes a backseat to watching people be systematically tortured, raped, murdered, and enslaved.
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
That's not my main problem with it though.
Maybe I should be upset about that, and I could easily say, “These people are idiots because they justify slavery”, but the truth is that the really obvious flaw in their argument is thus: The actions taken by the Deep South states before Fort Sumter were illegal, and were even recognized as illegal by some Southerners. We can argue along lines of “the strict letter of the law” because the Deep South states broke it! What the North wanted was a debate, because leaders from Jackson to Calhoun to Lincoln to Buchanan to Robert E. Lee recognized that unilateral secession (I stupidly failed to make the proper distinction in my debate with Mike) was completely unacceptable and unconstitutional.
But, hey, what did South Carolina and the like care? Trying to have a calm, rational debate wouldn’t work for them. It’s possible that they not only would have failed to gain the support of Virginia and Tennessee and it’s possible that the whole thing would have blown over eventually.
But instead 600,000 men died. I think we underestimate the capacity of smart people to do stupid things.

Absolutely
the point is with the north on more than one account. I totally agree with your argument. For me, however, the absurdity of the argument largely lies in the assertion that there is any law anywhere that gives someone the right to systematically oppress another people. There exists no such right in the laws of man or nature.

Oh, I don't know.
I think you’re definitely right with the first assertion, and a little bit wrong with the second point. Remember: the military was tiny before the Civil War. There wasn’t the training system that exists nowadays, that existed during the two World Wars.
Grant took the 21st Illinois from a bunch of rowdy farmboys and fortunate sons into a disciplined outfit within a few weeks. But there weren’t very many Grants. There weren’t very many Adelbert Ames’ either.

I'm watching Mississippi Burning.
It has been a long time and I can’t remember if I have seen it all. It is very upsetting and I can’t understand how people could justify their actions.
You should know that Joakim Soria was one among many terrible fantasy baseball players I drafted this year.
I also drafted Billy Butler and dropped him right before his recent hot streak because his power numbers were pretty pedestrian all year. I also traded for Zach Greinke, who is still a Royal in my heart, and he screwed the pooch last night. Fucking Royals!

Royals fans groan when he is put. I love Billy but I hate what he Royals are doing to him. At his age he shouldn’t be a DH. Greinke wanted out and he pitched like it last year. He was a cancer in the clubhouse. To that I say “don’t let the door hit ya”.

Well shit, now I wish I had done more research before trading for him.
I still feel like I got a decent deal for him. I gave up Chris Perez (CLE closer) and I’m still in 2nd in saves and desperately needed starting pitching. The trade was made a couple months ago when CLE was still in first place but I thought I needed to sell high on Perez, that part I was mostly right about.

He was born and raised in southern Alabama. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 or 1943. The peculiar brand of horror found in the Pacific war found him at Peleliu and Okinawa. Sledge survived, became a professor, and wrote of his experiences many years later. His book is simple, direct, and, after describing it all, he still said he felt it was worth it because, “With great freedom comes great responsibility.”

The Shenandoah produced the Stonewall Brigade, of course, but I do not and cannot find disrespect for those yeomen as I do for the leaders of the Deep South states who started the whole mess. Also, the Shenandoah isn’t that “Southern”. And it’s gorgeous.
The mountainous areas are now filled with people who use the Confederate flag as a symbol, but I can somehow ignore it because chances are that their ancestors either stayed out of the fight or joined the Union Army whenever the chance presented itself.

Even more disturbing
is watching actual documentaries from the 1950s and 60s. The disconnect is stunning.
As to what made Mississippi particularly bad, even for the South, was quite simply fear. At the time, a majority of Mississippi’s population was black. Whites, in other words were the minority and quite simply were fearful of what would happen to them if the group that had systematically terrorized and dehumanized ever got power, much like Boer whites in South Africa during Apartheid. Interestingly, the effect of extending more civil rights was for rather significant black “flight” from Mississippi in the intervening decades, though, a sizable portion of the state’s black population simply left to avoid the extreme even by the standards of Jim Crow racism/discrimination in MS. Also, MS is wicked hot, humidity that you have to swim through and brutal; it is Hell’s grundle.

The only real criticism I’ve heard is that a few of the secondary characters are more one dimensional in the movie, but that’s inevitable. The actresses are all pretty good but the director isn’t exactly creative with most of his shots. Lots of square close ups, but again the performances pull it off.
Tell your sister to shove it and read the book later. Besides, no point waiting around for your cousin to dig it out. Although your local library probably has a copy which you might get ahold of in 3 months if it’s on a waiting list as is typical of movies like this.
I played in a one-man best shot tonight.
You get two chances to hit every shot, but if you hit the second you have to take it. To quote Run DMC, “It’s Tricky”.

Tara Hills Country Club
in Van Horne, IA. Tuesday night is our Men’s League which ended last week but we have a couple of “fun nights” left where we do stuff like this. It’s incredibly fun and I wouldn’t trade my membership at this course for one anywhere else. It’s a great little 9-hole course with a great Men’s League.

Nice
I used to play in Bellevue, IA for a summer a couple of years ago. It’s another 9 hole course with a fun men’s league. Down here in Arkansas I play a rather nice course, but there is barely any sort of league. I think I would rather have a great league on an average course.
I’ve played some odd golf formats, but a 1 man best shot sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll have to pitch it to some people to try and get one together sometime

I'll be playing in my first best ball this weekend, sort of.
Our course is involved in a Ryder Cup with a few other courses in the general vicinity. Each course sends 12 guys ranked 1-12 and each seeds plays 9 holes against the other courses guys at the same seed for 8 holes and then you are paired with a teammate (who you are not golfing with) and you plat best ball for the second 9. This is my first time in it and I’m really looking forward to it.

The course I grew up on back in Iowa did something kinda like this called the Inter-Club. I always wanted to play, but couldn’t until I was 18. Then I was in college and wasn’t around when it was played.

Also, we just don't do enough 2 man best shots at our course.
I agree that they are fun. A 3 or 4 man basically just comes down to who happens to sink the most putts but a 2 man requires solid ball striking and actual strategy. Unfortunately, 95% of the golfing population prefers the boring comfortableness of 3 or 4 man best shots.

In a 2 man you get to play off each others strenghts/weaknesses
On a good 3-4 man team it is unusual that it truly comes down to the last player. There is usually a decent shot already played. In a 2 man, every swing matters. There’s something about that I love.
You’re right about most of the golfing public. I wish it wasn’t that way, but I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

I will say that I like the fact that most golfers are such pussies, mentally
when we’re playing straight up because you can just watch them wilt mentally at least once during any 18 hole round of golf and it typically costs them for a few holes.
I welcome background noise during my swing.

Sound doesn't bother me either
Visual things do, but those are much less common.
I have always struggled off the tee, but am rather strong from 165 and in. As a result, I will spray the ball and pull some shit our of no where. People hate that. I have used that to my advantage plenty over the years.
The biggest think I learned is that people think pressure comes from the situation. In golf it completely comes from yourself
