PBR Street Gang, this is Almighty. Do your read me? Over.
Young Manhattanite/TOP Music will be moving bedposts and posting bed moves at a pace somewhere between horror movie murder victim and geriatric snail until after Labor Day weekend. I'm not going far (or technically anywhere) so feel free to drop in and see what little I'm up to over at Blottered, a non-certified blogger prep academy, or the Re-inhabilitated Farm ("Re-inhab" for short) which has been converted into a hospice for terminal bloggers.Meanwhile, here at corporate HQ (that's the best I could do to antonymize "back at the ranch")...I will keep the floor open for one of those obnoxious "open thread" discussions you'd find on Daily Kos or some shit. I appoint Sac as moderator and Gage as the Three Anonymous Wise Men. I have my doubts but I'm pulling for you two to break 20 comments.

Dead people work harder than you, Krucoff. Enjoy your purposeless sabbatical.
Kickoff contrived question for discussion: Pretend the NFL found a special grass additive that would allow for video ads to be woven into the field on a play-by-play basis, much like the first-down line. What ad choice would be the most patently offensive to viewers:
a. Men's facial care products (other than razors and shaving foam)
b. Ads for pop performers ala Ashlee Simpson and Good Charlotte
c. political ads
d. Ford trucks
e. The Fanta girls
Hey hey, take it easy with the "sabbatical" nonsense because that is exactly what this isn't. I'm not so gay to use that excuse or claim I need one. I just don't feel like updating 3 blogs a day. So now it's down to 2, Blottered and ye olde Lasagnafarm.
As far as the football grass additive, are you talking about lacing it with PCP or embalming fluid? That should get the videos reeling.
would nick denton or lockhart steele or jason calacanis ever utter the words "i just don't feel like updating 3 blogs a day"? no! krucoff, you can't call yourself a bulldog if you're gonna bark like a basenji.
as to the football grass additive, i'm gonna take a cue from the title of this post and go with good ol' p.b.r.
The additive isn't important - they could use rat blood for all I care - it just allows for the green-screen effect on grass, sort of like the ads in baseball games that run on the backstop. You know, one second Pujols is at the plate, a rookie pitcher on the mound, you're thinking "long ball", and all of a sudden you see an ad for "The Island" in the background. Makes me think about changing channels.
Anyway, the field, in effect, gets these big green-screen areas for video overlay, such that ads could be displayed during the time-outs and not disrupt the actual football game.
Think inappropriate like the Mitchum ads in the subway that ask, "If you've ever jumped the turnstile..." Expand to football.
As for taking a break from one to concentrate on other things - understandable. Writing is not easy. Blogs are so common and cheap that it looks after a while like most blog posts took all of 5 minutes to create. Um, no. If you're writing above 100 words or trying to create a coherent thought, it's work. Some people do it really well and, frankly, I don't know how so many are able. Back to the point (this has already eaten 15 minutes of my time and I restarted this paragraph 3 times already), YM is a significant endeavour, and I only ask that you, Kru, do what it takes to not serve us a pile of shit.
This reminds me that I have to make good on an outstanding promise to Coen and Oxfeld to start my own blog, and not send my truly demented ramblings their way. I'll get to it. I have to shake down someone in LA for the domain name first. Wish me luck.
actually, the additive isn't important at all. green screen technology keys out the color green and replaces it with an image. and since grass and turf are already green, an additive is completely unnecessary. rat blood, being reddish brown, would render massengil for men enema ads invisible. and we'd all be the better for it.
Sometimes, I cant stop reading your blog, and following your links, even though I should be writing in my own.
Since no one answered the last question, let's ask another. This time fill-in:
I heard they're going to be opening a ___________ in my neighborhood, and I can't wait!
Most creative answer gets a brand new Bud Light t-shirt. Pick-up free, shipping extra.
Warrior, come out and plaaaay.
1) I heard they're going to be opening a _MASSAGE PARLOR_____ in my neighborhood, and I can't wait!
2) I heard they're going to be opening a _NASCAR TRACK_ in my neighborhood, and I can't wait!
3) I heard they're going to be opening a _CAMP CASEY _ in my neighborhood, and I can't wait!
