I left off the Griddle because if I'm stranded somewhere I don't want to do any extra work.

~Carrot Cake
~Banana Cream Pie

~Defamer
~L.A. Observed
~Fire Joe Morgan

This also reminds me of a great sign that used to exist on a wall in Pasadena:
"My people are people of the dessert said T.E. Lawrence picking up his fork"

2) tie between candy cigarettes and Smarties

Blogs:

1) The Griddle (only as a means of continuing to stalk Bob from a remote location)

2) Archives of Tom Meagher's original Fourth Outfielder (nice to see Tom commenting here recently--glad he isn't dead)

3) Fire Grady Little (not a ton going on there right now, but when another movement comes along [bowel or otherwise], it'll be the epicenter)

Lemon Ice Box Pie (my grandmother's recipe)
Chocolate Chip Cookies from Meeting Street Cafe in Providence, RI (never hurt to be specific).

Defamer
Chowhound (although this would be torture)
LA Observed (lots of content to fight the boredom and see what's going on back home)

As per above I'm only leaving off Catfish and Griddle and 6-4-2 because I would only pick one baseball blog and it would be DT.

Then, I'll bitch about how I can only get three blogs and two desserts. I'm afraid I wouldn't be very good company.

5.

Let that be a lesson to you sloppy spellers and fact-checkers! Always preview.

thin envelope.

As the site's first commenter ever, it's my duty to pay respect.

Thanks Sam. I didn't think I would care much.

Surprisingly, I do. Well, it's not that bad.

That's my thorough scouting report for this game. That's all you need to know.

"A desert island is simply any uninhabited island: the word "desert" is a reference to the island's deserted status, and does not necessarily imply arid desert weather."

In any event I'll take Godiva Dark Chocolate Ice Cream, Ghiradelli brownies (Costco mix), Boston Dirt Dogs, Movie City News and Drudge Report none of which are blogs but hey.

You DO like your desserts. That's about as good a place to get them in L.A.

On the other hand, my goofing off time will remain steady.

I'm hoping that someone says Sal Fasano. Bob is Brandon McCarthy right?

34 - You must've gotten Odalis' by mistake. That would return the universe to a state of balance.

At the moment, I'll say:
- pomegranate/dark chocolate chip ice cream
- carrot cake
for the blogs.... hmmmm
- The Hot Blog (David Poland's blog on MovieCityNews)
- Daily Dish (Andrew Sullivan)
#3 would be "I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing" except Josh Friedman hasn't updated in an age (to be fair, he is recovering from cancer)
so.... #3 - What Would Tyler Durden Do? (just to keep me laughing)

And not as stupid.

I wish I was built like Jose Conseco, But I'll settle with the build of Eric Davis.

chuckles at the thought.

how tall? (difference)

true (Choi?) no I won't say that :o)

And not as stupid.
LOL

I really can't think of anyone in the majors with a similar build. Maybe Ichiro when he came over from Japan (before he bulked up), but I'm taller than him. 5'10/11 150 pounds. I don't think any majors leaguers are built like that. I don't think I'd have much trouble beating up Juan Cruz though :)

Sounds like someone needs to start drinking more chocolate protein shakes...

I bought one, and I still liked it, but it wouldn't make my top two.

Anyhoo, back to the issue at hand:
Desserts:
1. My mom's cinnamon rolls
2. Ice cream

It's hard to leave off a genuine Swiss chocolate, but if it really is a desert, I'm gonna need ice cream. As for blogs, since I'd already have DT, I'd pick an AL blog to get the other league covered. Then I'd get me some variety to keep me abreast of the current culture. So:

Blogs:
1. Kottke
2. Two Blowhards
3. Bronx Banter

The other question:
I'm pretty much the same height and weight as Tim Hudson, so I guess he's my closest body-type comp.

I did get my Team Croatia jersey in the mail today.

The checkerboard pattern is only on the front. the back is white. I'm going to see if my girlfriend will let me wear it to Dodger Stadium Friday night. If so, I should be able to be spotted on TV despite me having Uecker seats.

If you folks don't know what a Team Croatia jersey looks like well you don't know what you're missing.

I heard around the time they stopped making those that they would rewrap them as "Curly" something and ship them overseas to sell off the inventory.

Blogs:
1) Marginal Revolution, an excellent economics weblog (www.marginalrevolution.com)
2) The Superficial, "Because You're Ugly" (www.thesuperficial.com)
3) 6-4-2, though the Griddle is a VERY tough omission (6-4-2.blogspot.com, as if you didn't know)

As to the question about major-league body types, I'm pretty close to Hee-Seop Choi without the whole Asian thing. About 5-10 pounds lighter, that's about it.

Woo hoo, let's go for two!

EXACTLY!

Except mine doesn't have a number on it. And it's short sleeved.

wana play tik tak toe?

Actually, if I go to a picnic, people will put an ice chest on top of me and a bag of chips.

If I go to an Italian restaurant, someone will take an old Chianti bottle, stick a candle in it and then place it on top of me.

My list would be something like (assuming I get a bye as author of my own):

1) David Pinto, who pretty unerringly has his finger on the pulse of baseball.
2) Halo's Heaven, because otherwise I'd never know what goes on with that other LA team.
3) ... well, this is a toughie. I'm torn between Lookout Landing and Idiots Write About Sports, not necessarily because of the teams they cover but because they're so consistently well-written and funny.

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone by leaving their blog off the list.

cr

you're shoulders look like that of a pitcher, did you ever pitch in college or something? I'm trying to think of a pitcher with your body type.

This was a given, right?

I swear I LOL'ED good one Bob.

1) Raspberry cheesecake.
2) Pumpkin pie.

Anyway, I have a Gameday audio question. Does anyone know how to make it work with an Intel Mac? I used to have a trick that i don't feel like explaining that allowed it to work but my computer has since downloaded a security update and now it doesn't seem to work anymore. : (

Pol Pot's Ponderings
Marx's Meanderings

I feel that creating a sense of conflict would heighten the desert island experience.

you're the guy sitting next to Jon rith? on our DT get together.

"According to folklore I just made up, the Angel of Death is accompanied by a smokin' hot bimbo whose sole purpose is to ease the pain that comes with the realization that you're dead and going to Hell. She appears rather suddenly just prior to quietus and sticks around until the deed is done and the soul is released from its body, at which point she returns to her otherworldly necromantic abode for cock
