Phoenix

Beavan's In There

................

=== A Wise Man Sayeth, Dept. ===

Some yoyo, by which I mean DaddyO, drolly noticed that my resort computer gave me more than 40 minutes the other night, for three (edited) posts? Nada. That was the Denny's at Rural and Hiway 60 in Phoenix, free Wi-Fi.

That wasn't the hard part; we got that crib on only the fourth stop. The hard part is finding a wife who will sit across the table, chin in hand, dozing lightly, while you blog for two hours on baseball.

All y'all's teenage juvenile delinquent friends will tell you, make sure you get a girl who will go to Project X wit you. Neg-a-tory. Get you one who, after 20-30 years, will sit in a Denny's with you at 2 a.m. while you blog baseball.

Eat your hearts out, you saps.

...............

Now, today's shtick, that's 40 minutes or under. Say wanna cut haids?! Uh-HUH! Race ya anytime Jeffy, Geoffy, you press-box-hot-dog-eatin' Dr. D wannabes.

=== Oh Joy ===

The Mariners go with my very least favorite 3-5 permutation. All four kids out. Mr. WBC out. Even Charlie Furbush out. Goodie gumdrops: four 95-ERA+ pitchers behind Felix... who just topped out at 91.2 mph yesterday.

... Tigers 2

=== Chris Gimenez, 3b/1b/Bedard Scourge ===

First off: Gimenez advances to 3-and-9 (.250) and his SP is not knocked out of the box. The M's gave up only 2 runs to a lineup that was 15-and-4 vs LHP's. There's our nod to equity in cyber-journo-shtick.

Sims 3 World Adventures: China Travel Guide

China is one of three worlds that was introduced with the World Adventures expansion pack. The most distinctive thing Shang Simla brings to the table is the Martial Arts skill. You can buy skill books at the bookstore, and buy two Martial Arts objects (the training dummy and the board-breaking set) from the general store.

It's funny, because the NFL and MLB give "death sentences" to athletes who get anywhere near the periphery of fixing games or points shaving.

Sims 3 Martial Arts

Martial arts is another complex skill introduced by the World Adventures expansion pack. Superficially, martial arts is fairly simple - you learn how to fight, spar with other Sims, and eventually have the chops to beat up a mummy. But there is a lot more to martial arts than just fighting - this may be the most complex skill available in The Sims 3.
