Good Place to be

Well I'm glad to see everybody woke up on the rightside of the bed
this morning.

I grew up, I think I grew up??

With JP Patches and Gertrude, Wanda Wanda, The 3 stooges, and old Marx brothers movie's.
And lets not forget Brakeman Bill and Crazy Donkey NW fixtures on the afternoon TV shows in the area.

EH

TPM

All I did was start a tread for discussion !!


Some do not seem to get it

Lighten up TR, Where just having Fun with you.
You know what that is right??

Uh Oh, OK everybody pick sides it's going to start all over again.

EH

Well, IMO this whole thread is rather pointless. I should know since most of my contributions fall into that category. It's hardly baseball related.

Was it intended to reinforce some sense of superiority or just eat bandwidth?

Eat bandwidth I'd say.

I see you're from "Left Out." Never noticed that before...wonder if thats worse that "Left Coast?"

Sounds like it!

Does every thread here on the HSBBW have to be pointed.
Or could we just have a little bit of sharp pointless conversation without it meaning a darn thing.

It's called Group Therapy?

EH

It's an old joke based on the position I usually played on the team.

One of our favorite posters has tried to make me feel bad about it by commenting derisively about it. It just makes me smile at their pettiness.

Petty Officer Petty, You have been charged with dereliction of Duty in your derogatory remarks concerning were a poster may or may not reside.
How you plead?

Not Guilty , For reason's of ( )??

EH

Wow I have been missing out on some fun!

I don't laugh at people from the east coast - I laugh at the politicians from there. But then, I laugh at the politicians from the west coast too.

Especially the numbskulls in Oregon.

Well east coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when Im down there

The mid-west farmers daughters really make you feel alright
And the northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be california
I wish they all could be california
I wish they all could be california girls

The west coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on hawaii island
Dolls by a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldnt wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be california
I wish they all could be california
I wish they all could be california girls

I wish they all could be california girls
(girls, girls, girls)
I wish they all could be california girls
(girls, girls, girls)
I wish they all could be california girls
(girls, girls, girls)
I wish they all could be california girls
(girls, girls, girls)

Oh Yeah! Check out these Beach Boy lyrics Especially the 5th and 6th lines of the 2nd paragraph

Down in Utah
The guys and I dig a city called Salt Lake
It's got the grooviest kids
That's why we never get tired of Salt Lake
And the way the kids talk so cool
Is an out of sight thing
And the number one radio station
Makes the town really swing yeah
Salt Lake City we'll be coming soon

There's a park near the city, yeah
All the kids dig the Lagoon now
It's full of all kinds of girls
And rides and we'll be flyin' there soon now
And girl for girl
They've got the cutest of the Western states
They got the sun in the summer
And winter time the skiing is great yeah
Salt Lake City we'll be coming soon

Salt Lake City we'll be coming soon

We'll be coming soon
We'll be coming soon
We'll be coming soon

Who has been eating the bandwidth?


SNIFFING OUT HSBBW MEMBER BANDWIDTH CONSUMPTION
Or how I learned to stop worrying and shove with aplomb

By: Dr. Strangeglove NoBS, NoMSG.


Q: I'd like to know your recommendations pertaining to network monitoring software. What type of software would you recommend that allows me to see each workstation's Internet activity? I'm not sure if it's called "sniffing", but what I'm trying to do is locate HSBBW members who are using most of the router's bandwidth. I also would like to know, through the software, how this member is using the router's bandwidth.
-- Not Really Sleepless in Schenectady

A:There are several ways to do this Schenectady. The first involves an open-source application called You Can Run, But You Can't Hide or YCRBYCH. This is essentially a Birch switch that can be used effectively when interrogating HSBBW members who ask too many questions and can't stay within the lines while coloring or posting. Or those who have discovered the ability to link an image to the HSBBW message board. This switch should not be used if you suspect that with it's use will come Department of Justice scrutiny. What you end up with after some swearing and spitting is a Web page for each unmanageable member who tells you where to stick it. On a per-port basis you will be able to tally what bandwidth is being used by these ne'er-do-wells. You can generate a summary page per member that allows you to drill down to a port level to identify the stinking bandwidth hog you are in search of.

If you aren't as comfortable with getting involved at a low level, or the sight and sound of Birch slapping flesh makes your skin crawl, another option is a Windows-based package called Put the Mouse Down and Move Away From the Keyboard...Now! or PMDMAFK...N!. This option works well if you aren't able to watch or control things at the Birch switch level. You must have access to the router that connects you to the Internet. You'll get a lot more detail than the YCRBYCH option can provide. You can also use some of the sniffing packages such as Wiresnark© or Proctor and Gamble's Swiffer® product line.

Another option to consider is Pack-It-In...You're Done. This company's wares allow you to do several things - identify which nutcase is using the lion's share of the bandwidth and what they are doing, where they are going, whether they like pudding with jam. You can also get some of your bandwidth back by throttling back or stopping altogether the ability of some services such as some of the more readily known peer to peer software packages, instant messaging clients, or simply asking the bandwith belching behemoth to fork it over.

Depending on the level of sophistication you want to enable, you can also allow some of these activities to take place after hours when bandwidth needs may not be as critical and the only poster up then is that kimchi crunching Krak who is well into next week anyway.

Everyone else knows the difference.

I can't go by your advice. I was so wrong about my son's high school coach. I would have thought a guy who played college and pro ball plus been an assistant at a top high school program would know more about the game than he does.

If I was a parent of a young player just beginning to pitch, I may not know the difference between the term throwing and pitching.

But that's ok, if they read this thread, they certainly know now!

Obviously someone who can read a posters mind by what they write in there post??

I can read a mind ( But a BLANK space ) is kind of hard to read.

Parents of players who are coaches of reputable travel and Legion teams plus a former high school coach. Behind the scenes the Legion coach does damage control on player moral issues the coach has created. I'd describe several very bizarre strategic moves. But I don't want my son to pay the price should the coach see the specifics (he knows of this site). Other players have paid the price for parental comments.

So far, so good. Hopefully, he is an exception to the rule. From what I've seen, most 15 and under have not had an arm / shoulder issue. Most 20 year olds have had arm issues at some point.

I don't know if truer words have ever been spoken, and I wish all fathers of young pitchers would heed this.

Ummmm.....GO NORTHEAST!!!!!!

For the record NH has ZERO INCOME TAX and ZERO SALES TAX!! Atleast one state up here in the northeast has it right...but it won't last..too many from neighboring states moving in and voting in spenders.

Thats the spirit.

But I feel better now and wish to no longer be confrontational with my fellow Posters.
I wish to congratulate all participants.
And till we meet again in the Octagon of Cyberspace.

Group Hug.

Isn't it literally just a matter of time? You deal with it and move on. I don't think I know more than a few a 22 year old pitchers who haven't had a wet MRI or two, or a zipper or a sling for a month or something else that turned that smile upside down.

i too am from the northeast and i must admit its great from the late spring to early fall, get a nice tase of the seasons while its not TOO cold yet, plus perfect temperatures in the summer... and the snow for the holidays in the winter gives time for some sledding and snowboarding and than BAM its awful, old, cold, nasty, worst place anyone ever thought to settle/ live until may

oh by the way you can thank the northeast for starting the EMO movement in the good ole USA, ahhh we will never live that down.
(if you dont know what emo is, this explains it well)

I've lived in Maine, suburbs of Boston, Hartford, New York, Philadelphia, Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. I would have lived in Toronto if the Canadian government would have approved the move. There are job protectionism laws in Canada regarding Americans moving to Canada. I commuted and spent three nights a week in a hotel.

The seasons are overrated. To quote my native Californian wife, "What's the big deal about two weeks of pretty leaves versus four months of cold and gray followed by a month of mud?" When we lived in California we took the kids to play in the snow 90 minutes from the beach. The west coast ski season is a lot longer than the east coast.

However, before Californians get all puffed up about my last statement, there is so much wrong with California now it offsets the weather.

The winner is ....... Toronto. It has the sophistication of New York with the easy going style of San Diego. While it's snowing three feet in Buffalo, on the other side of the lake it snowing three centimeters in Toronto.

Ok, I'm ready for the tossing of the rotten tomatos.

God's a Tarheel... case closed.

How does GOD get into this----

EH,

You know you are one of my favorite posters. And I don't mind at all when you speak of GROUP THERAPY.

But did you have to mention GROUP HUG? Don't let rz1 see this - you DO remember his Group Hug photo, don't you???

I take umbrage to that...it's about 3 weeks of mud.

New Mexico sux. Don't come here okay? Well, alright you can drive through like most folks do, and even stay a few days and spread some cash, but then you have to go back to your mud, or leaves, or beaches, or sophistication, or tunnels, or whatever the heck it is that you want that we don't have here.

Sorry Mom, I forgot about that photo.

How about a big high five?

There are parts of Cali that are beautiful.
Same goes from my real home of the NW.

But unfortunately I live in the Central Valley of N.Cali.
Nothing but flat dry ground and Farmer's dirt flouting everywhere.
Not nearly as pretty as green tree's and mountain's.

It's not the Farmer's I'm Insulting, it's there Dirty Dirt.
It just seems to float in the air till it get's to my place.
And then it drops.

Yeah, but we here in Kentucky have not only blue skies, but blue grass!

However, EH.... you should have had Bobby Sherman's version of the song! Luvbb and I might have given you a for that link. Probably a few more moms too! Memories....

I'll take James Taylor anytime.

If we just visit, do we still hafta hug?
