PrintI have been nothing short of obsessed with this song. There's a pretty nifty Cee-Lo Green cover of it as well, but be forewarned if you go looking for it: find the "Clean" or "Edited" version, as there's some brief PG-13 nudity (lol boobs, lol butt) involved. It's definitely a good cut of the song, anyway.

I played ootp for six hours yesterday, and my fiance didn't even get mad
I got mad though, because Rob Scahill suffered a career ending injury :(

How many people complain that on topic and off topic discussions get intermingled. I commend the moderation team for trying to police it and providing a separate place, but isn’t it inevitable that any flow of conversation diverges away from the original subject?

Is there a function
that searches through ALL the threads?

The question is
Thnikk, will you pull the curtain back and show the class?
Basically you go to the user profile of the person you want to find the quote from. Then you search their user activity.
Now, this does require previous knowledge of who posted what you are looking for. Its RIRF’s memory that is the impressive thing.

Now that I’m listening to Mary Ann again, I’d probably need to learn upright bass to play it – there’s no piano lolz

Hmm.
I sometimes like when the vocal line is incorporated. Then it makes it more fun for me to play, rather than like playing accompaniment for a nonexistent singer.
Fair enough
I like to sing along while I play
by The Toddfather's Goatee on Jan 30, 2012 2:55 PM MST up reply actions
I'm not very good at that.
Particularly if I’m less familiar with a song or don’t have the piano part down cold.
I can see that
My issue more often is the vocal line being above my voice range. I’m content to play the actual piano line until I can get it though

I can't stand it
Mostly because it is often poorly transcribed and awkward to physically play. I have much less problem adding the vocal line in my head (or outright vocally) than I do trying to read beneath the vocal line to play the actual instrumental part.

Yeah, I guess it would depend on the arrangement.
I have some arrangements that are more like an actual solo piano arrangement that are really good. But I can see if it’s just done haphazardly that that could be a worse option.
OT: I had a weird dream last night...
Me and Todd Helton were hanging out, but he had changed his number to 10, and some borderline pitcher was wearing 17. Whenever I’d ask about he’d say he was just tired of 17, but it was no big deal.
The weird part is that we were NOT at Cracker Barrel!

In addition, any children doing the wave will be sold to the circus. Do NOT do the wave in the ballpark. Doing the wave is safe at pro football games and Miley Cyrus concerts.

Not at Cracker Barrel?
Does not compute.

Lol
Like looking at the clock, looking away and then looking back? RdRnnr, did it become a lucid dream once you realized Todd wasn’t at Cracker Barrel?!

lucid dreams are awesome as long as they don't involve Mustangs driven by Cameron Diaz.z
The off-season sucks.
That is all.
OT: Argh.
So, interviewed for a job in Denver. They’ll have a 2nd round of interviews that have to be in person. My understanding last week was that they’d be deciding Friday (this past Friday) who would be invited back and the interviews would be this week. So in order to avoid super expensive last minute airfare, I bought a flight early last week via Southwest, since I could always cancel it and use the money for some other later trip. Still haven’t heard from them. Left a voicemail a little while ago. My scheduled trip to Denver is tomorrow, so I have to cancel it today. Do I call again before the end of the day? Do I just wait and then cancel it if I don’t hear (risking that they call tomorrow and want me there anyway)?
Oh man....that's super annoying
I’m sorry.

Yes.
I left a message for Mary maybe half an hour ago. I don’t want to be naggy, and I didn’t actually say anything about needing to cancel a flight (just said something about needing to finalize travel plans if they want me to come in). It’s entirely possible that their decision got delayed, or they’ll end up having 2nd interviews into next week instead of this week. It’s just awkward.
She's in a meeting.
I’ll pop you an email if I find out anything later.

Okay, thanks!
Maybe she’ll also call or e-mail back after she gets out of the meeting and gets my message.
Still haven't heard back.
But looked on Kayak, and I can probably get last minute airfare for less than or equal to what I paid last week for the Southwest reservation. So I think I could cancel what I have and it would be okay even if I have to book something else later.
OT:
I’m loving the guilt-free OT postings. I’m so glad this thread is back :-)

I think the OT was formed the summer before you joined...
That year RMN, Muzia, Dave (I can’t memmer his handle…always talks indie music with Muzia), Maria, FI2 and myself went off the handle…The Erasure meme was epic.
Apologies if I left anyone else off that list that contributed to debauchery .

There was some
pretty epic debauchery that occurred this offesason… I frequently lost control and laughed out loud in my cubicle

Offseason debauchery is fun no doubt...
But during the season it was our sanctuary to clown cats that got bent out of shape in the main RP or during game threads. That was a fun few months.

It's a bit of a pain that when an off topic link is posted in, say a Rockpile
There is no unread post count as there would be on any conventional article. I don’t suppose there’s any way of making this happen, is there?
