They shouldn't.
Can anyone explain that?
No.
Well it is illegal, last time I checked. Soon cigarettes, cigars will be joining them, after the anti-smoking law nanny-Obama just signed (while puffing on a cig) takes effect.
Because the WBC is technically an Olympic event and subject to WADA jurisdiction, from what I recall.
Beano, this is totally unnecessary. We know where you stand on Obama, we get it. Please stop dragging threads into this direction. Please?
I don't think I only speak for myself here.
Would explain why Soto was so out of shape this year. Munchies!
You don't.
I don't care for the man much myself, yet I'm in complete agreement with you on this principle, because we had to put up with exactly this kind of nonsense and the neverending Bush Derangement Syndrome for the last several years.
Now you can see how annoying this kind of stuff was from our perspective.
There is one list for all sports, and there are certain sports where it is an advantage to be relaxed, like shooting. Alcohol is on the list for the same reason, though it would be a liability in most sports.
And I guess, to make life hell for snowboarders.
Also, the powers that be loves to be moralistic.
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he's smoking so he can get munchies so he can eat more so he can bulk up so he can work out and turn it into muscle so he can hit more home runs for you.
GAaah
Oh, and it was a great move by the Dutch to put that Marijuana (the Dutch have tons of it on hand at all times, second only to Jamaicans) in the Dominican's food. Wait for the other reports to start trickling out soon.
I hate death triangles.
Reuters.com is dead.
Now he's CNN dead.
Sort of. Looking at the article, they're saying that someone else (The LA Times) is saying that he's dead.
He may actually be dead, I don't know, but there's still plenty of hedging in the reports.
I give it 10 minutes until the first conspiracy theory that the Jackson that is being reported as dead is not the same Jackson who did "I want you Back", "Ben", "Thriller", "Billie Jean" and "Black or White". Given all the surgery, it's almost a given said theory will come up.
Even in a country and a century where so many people are obsessed with the lives of celebrities and those we have to stretch the definition of "celebrity," TMZ is ####### scum. I can't help but see the last minutes of the show when I settle on the couch for my daily 7:00 Simpsons fix on FOX and I'm just flabbergasted by the abscence of humanity displayed on that show.
OH LAST NIGHT WE SAW CARLTON FROM FRESH PRINCE AT A RESTAURANT AND WE TRIED TO STICK A CAMERA IN HIS FACE AND HE WAS ALL 'WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE US BE I'M TRYING TO HAVE DINNER WITH A FRIEND' GOD WHAT A JERK DOESN'T HE KNOW WE PAY HIS SALARY
It makes me ####### sick to my stomach, it really does.
Who gets the Beatles Catalog?
You mean it's not the journeyman reliever?
What are we paying him to do, exactly?
"My thoughts are with Jackson's creditors."
They'll be fine. His estate owns the rights to 200+ Beatles songs.
rip king of pop.
This made me laugh.
We got a lot of young' uns on this site who may not remember 27 years ago, when Thriller was real phenomenon -- making MJ enough money to unleash his inner feak, and he was on his way down.
I blame the NFL. and Obama.
and Mike Crudale.
Dave Chappelle: No man, he made "Thriller". [pause] "Thriller".
Yes, unfortunately MJ has been a feak my whole life.
Just saw the south park episode on him not too long ago that shed him a pretty sympathetic light.
no idea. i mentioned it on the citizenship thread and got the sound of crickets. but i'm generally a thread killer.
Complications arising from his latest species-change operation, I'm guessing.
Because I was going to write something else here when I saw the news. And it's all for the best, the thread could have been about NFL.
I was born in 1978 but I do remember people gathering around (including my father, who never really paid attention to contemporary music) to watch the premiere of the "Thriller" video.
If you want attention adding things to a fairly long thread with a political flamebait title might not be the best idea.
I don't know how anyone can't like Don't stop til you get enough.
Food poisoning. He ate an eight-year-old wiener.
Not a Goran Lingmerth fan. I see. Well, this isn't the first time I learned of a major news event via Primer.
I was all about guitar oriented rock at the time.
hey, it was busy at the time!
Most of MJ's solo career hits are solid pop ditties. But his greatest song was, is, and always will be when he was fronting the Jackson 5: "I Want You Back."
Groan.
This is the first I've hear this one, but I suspect it won't be the last.
I pin my hopes on Bryan Berglund.
*claps*
Michael Jackson is so dead, even Kirk Rueter could strike him out. Today.
Groan.
This is the first I've hear this one, but I suspect it won't be the last.
It's masterful. It is a pity that one can't be made to work in swedish.
what do michael jackson and the dodgers have in common?
they both wear a glove on one hand for no apparent reason.
Thank you Joey. I'll be happy to come up with new material. Obama is out, anti-NFL is in. Okay, just kidding. Time to kick my dog.
That's certainly the first one I thought of as well.
That sounds serious.
MCoA's entry alone made it magical.
Regarding Soto -
He's actually been quite good since since about the last week/2nd to last week of May (.250/.350/.550 in his last 70 PAs).
As far as marijuana's uses as a performance enhancing drug, I can assure you it does. Some friends and I went to a show last weekend, and the performance was definitely enhanced by it.
I thought the NFL did; the one that played linebacker for Seattle.
well at least geo isnt the only one getting high
First reaction, oh no, roids!!!
I suppose it will depend on probate, but apparently, he left them to McCartney in his will.
Banta = Dan Brown?
I'll third that. Damn, that kid could sing.
Whoever ended up bringing him back deserves an award. I realize they are professionals and all, but I couldn't blame the paramedic who got the call for hesitating on starting CPR on this one. Possible upside: saving the King of Pop. Possible downside: accidentally swallowing a chunk of his nose after it falls off in your mouth. I can't help but envision a rather long "you do it....no, dude, YOU do it" moment between the two paramedics.
I thought it was Grammys in 1984 but yeah this performance is stunning. I'm not even a MJ fan but his performance here is just memorizing.
I'm more of a David Icke.
Back in high school when I worked at a roller rink (in the hockey shop), we had to resurface the floor one night. Basically like really slow mopping straight forward, 10-12 people abreast. The lame ass DJ who worked there because he could practice speed skating for free (he did participate in the first X Games, but that does not make up for being a 30 year old roller rink DJ) put on the just-released "History: Past, Present, and Future" album. And selected only newer tracks, and left it on repeat. For like 3 hours. I still have quite a bit of "You Are Not Alone" memorized, and I disliked that song before that night and have never heard it since.
I imagine just about any paramedic has performed CPR on someone grosser than Jackson.
Was it a portent of the weirdness to come, that his first solo No. 1 record was a love song -- to a rodent?
This is important, I think. A non-zero number of people are going to stop after the headline and assume that Soto took something that ran afoul of someone's arbitrary criteria for PEDs. I don't think the Trib would leave the implication hanging in the air intentionally, but a better h-line would be something like, "Soto Tested Positive for Marijuana During WBC."
Depending on how one defines intentionally, I do not share your optimism here. There are journalistic and business reasons not to, but I'm not sure what any paper might do these days, and this would be far from the first salacious headline coyly engineered to mask a somewhat blase story.
First, it's wallabies
Second, I should try this with the local population of wallabies (yes, Hawaii has a colony of wild wallabies, which apparently got loose from a zoo around 90 years ago).
You're probably right. I tend to give the Trib credit because I don't usually see this sort of thing from them, but desperate times and all that.
