Reporting live from southern Illinois, it’s me again
Thursday, Mar 24, 2011 - Posted by Rich Miller Posted by Barton Lorimor Well, the animals have taken over the farm again. As you know by now, the master of the house has ventured away for a long weekend, which is now taking place in Las Vegas apparently. That means you guys are stuck with me for a few days. But before those begin, here are a couple things you need to know. If you need to contact us for any reason you are better off getting in touch with me. I don’t have access to the AOL account, so here are a couple different ways to reach me:
Subscribers: The password will remain the same until at least Tuesday. I’ll only say this once: I know how to use the infamous CapFax banishment hammer of death. Don’t forget to breathe this week because I tend to get upset and banishment happy when the rules are broken while I am in class Alright, everybody. Game on.

–CapFax banishment hammer of death–
Sounds like something from a Bruce Lee movie or a weapon Quaddafi claims to have. I guess Madigan already took the Velvet Hammer. Much more subtle.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.

Barton, did you check with Led Zeppelin about that phrase, “The Pass Word Remains The Same”?
- Davey Boy Smithe - Thursday, Mar 24, 11 @ 7:11 am:
Did you channel your inner Steven Seagal while writing that last part? It kinda scared me.

your Nepoleon complex is showing

Teacher, can I go to the bathroom. I’m raising my hand and I really, really, have to go. The regular teacher lets us go. Really.

Welcome! While you may know how to use the banishment hammer of death, (and I have no intention of challenging this assertion) you may want to work on your hyper linking skills. Your Facebook link in the post goes right back to Cap Fax!

Would that be Bonaparte, Solo or Dynamite?

Welcome back to…is this the farm or a CAFO?
Vegas? Did Rich think it would be easier to run into Ozzie at the Luxor?
- Paul S. - Thursday, Mar 24, 11 @ 9:26 am:
The previous post link doesn’t work either. I missed reading yesterday.
- Lakefront Liberal - Thursday, Mar 24, 11 @ 9:35 am:
Springfield is definitely a CAFO! (The legislature I mean, not the town which I am sure is lovely.)

Anyone want to play a practical joke on Rich?
We have B-man change the root password on the server, then we re-skin the site to be a pro-Cubs blog, and then we pretend like we don’t know who Rich is when he comes back….

just when you think your out, they pull you back in.

This would be a good week to post a bunch of pro-Cubs stories.

A bunch? I’d be happy if you could think of one. That is a lousy ballclub, I’m sad to say.
- Barton Lorimor - Thursday, Mar 24, 11 @ 12:23 pm:
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one here depressed by the lack of pro-Cubs stories.

Talk to Fernando Perez, he is gunna swipe a whole buncha bases this summer.
- wordslinger - Thursday, Mar 24, 11 @ 2:48 pm:
Excellent work, Barton. Very robust, informative blog today.
The other guy might want to ask some of those baseball people in AZ about whatever happened to Wally Pipp.
- Barton Lorimor - Thursday, Mar 24, 11 @ 3:29 pm:
wordslinger, I appreciate the kind words. Always good to see your SN pop up in comments except when you’re going after my boys in blue pin stripes.

Barton, I’m a Cubs fan, brother. Back in the day on the farm, Channel 9 was by far the strongest signal for the roof antenna, plus they had Bozo, Garfield Field Goose and Ray Rayner.
And my older brother Cub fans brooked no dissent.
But my old Norwegian mama didn’t raise no fool, and the Sox have been a better value for years, especially when you’re paying for a family of five. The kids love Cominskey for the concourse, rain room, shower, etc.
Plus, the Sox brass have hustled a lot more to bring added value. The Cubs didn’t have to for a long time. But I bet they do know.

Alright, fair enough.
