in Wallingford Secedes! on Wallyhood
Apparently I am going to be annexed in 4 hours and 19 minutes.

On the plus side, that gives me a head start for preparing the insurgency!

@3

Somehow I don't think the threat of an ass-beating from the Fremont Arts Council is particularly credible.

in Baja Fresh closes up shop on Fremont Universe
I will miss that carnitas guac and pico de gallo burrito.

On the other other hand I won't miss paying $8 for it.

in Tickets flying for parking violations on Fremont Universe
Got my notice and form letter in the mail way back in January. Turned it in and got my sticker in February. RPZ signs went up on my street beginning of March. It was not a very complicated process at all, to be honest.

in First Fremont parking meters installed on Fremont Universe
I love the RPZ. Unfortunately I could have used the signs last month when some bar slob drunkydrunk did $600 damage to my car's front end and drove off one Friday night.

I would therefore like to encourage the City of Seattle to come down and ticket the bejeezus out of people at their first available opportunity! Maybe they'll get the hint.

I can appreciate that it sucks for you guys who aren't in stumbling distance from all the bars and haven't been putting up with this garbage for years, though.

in New in Fremont: pizza, more pizza and fish on Fremont Universe
Aberona's main problem is that half their menu Tratt Roma does a bit better and the other half of it Romio's does a bit better.

They could make up the difference by being close, except they're kind of too far to walk from the downtown Fremont core and they have absolutely no parking.

in With just 1 win, controversy over Ballard coach on My Ballard
I guess they used "Season ends with a single win" for a headline because "Bozo Lineman Hit Too Many Times In The Head, Thinks 1-8 Team Actually Had A Chance Of Winning State" was too long.

There are teams that run the same plays over and over again and win -- because the other teams know what's coming and still can't stop it.

Face it, y'all just aren't very good.

I still go there, but I always half-expect to see Barth from "You Can't Do That On Television" in the back.

101 great goals and Football365 here. I also like The Run of Play and Pitch Invasion, but they're more of a weekly stop.

Near as I can tell AJ's speed is mostly used for getting within half a foot of balls he subsequently valiantly fails to strike.

in Designs for suicide-proofing Aurora Bridge on My Ballard
How about we compromise and just fence up the parts not over water? People get their views, nobody gets hit by falling bodies, nobody has to clean up a big splat, everyone's happy!

(Well, the jumpers probably aren't happy but if they were happy in the first place they wouldn't be jumpers.)

in 5 Best Online Football Games on EPL Talk
I go for Trophy Manager (trophymanager.com) for my browser-based multiplayer manager simming myself.

Football Manager Live is on my radar, but TM is free, and I don't quite think I'm interested in /paying/ for the inevitable balance issues that ensue in these games.

(re: Hattrick et al, I don't know who decided to replace using the numbers 1-15 for stats with descriptives like "wretched", "poor", "weak", "good", "very good", "fantastic", "lousy", "so-so", etc etc, but it's just about the worst idea in the entire history of computer games.)

in Jack Bell Is A Wanker, Part II on EPL Talk
I think getting Andy Gray was brilliant for one reason that gets overlooked a lot: he's the longtime voice of EA Sports' FIFA video game series.

If you think that doesn't make a difference to the old 18-36 male viewer demographic ESPN thrives on (who do not by and large remember a time that we weren't playing sports video games) then you don't know us very well. To a lot of us, he /is/ the voice of big-time soccer.

So if you're trying to make something a big deal, Andy Gray has the widespread name (and voice) recognition that the random ESPN in house guys just plain don't. Furthermore, because we watch a lot of ESPN anyway, we already associate Rece Davis et al with the ESPN B-team, so we're not going to be terribly impressed by people we've heard even less of than him.

It's too bad for the "American Soccer Community" that they have their panties in a bunch because it wasn't one of "their" guys picked, but... well, sucks to be you, I guess.
