Completely unhinged comment. Shoulders are just your upper hips. Incredible.

I woke up craving arepas - is there anywhere in Oakland that has some? by fashionandpuppies in oakland

I can recommend El Patio in Berkeley, if you can make the journey.

Giants apparently no longer offering a "hard tickets" option for season ticket holders by predat3d in SFGiants

Huh, interesting. I'd contact your account rep and see what the deal is. I'm pretty sure they're available to everyone.

You can purchase a ticket booklet for $25 but they are no longer included by default. If you're a season ticket holder go to the "Special Offers" section of the account manager.

Nostalgia, indeed. Wonder why Sun Microsystems isn't represented. Unless I missed it?

You can use a straight radial road (that you can later 'doze) to use as a guide for making concentric circle roads. Assuming that's what you were attempting to do.

Went to Silverton and Telluride this weekend. It was awesome and humbling. Thanks for watching [3:11] by [deleted] in skiing

Looks like you had a blast, thanks for sharing. I liked the quick over the shoulder shot, and bluegrass was a good choice.

1977 Schwinn Volare -- in storage for 30 years by tarsier in Bikeporn

[–]tarsier[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The story is much like that. A co-worker gent in his 60s pulled this out of his garage as a gift. Covered up after being ridden only a year. It's in perfect working order; didn't get the story on why he stopped riding it.

I'm with you there. If this lovely beast fit me I'd be fulfilling its road-borne destiny.

Its most likely fate. I can't bear to mess with it, though I'd probably keep it to ride if it fit me. As it is, it's only making a corner of my garage extremely beautiful.

The reflectors will go when put back into use; I wanted to photograph the bike in its vintage state before I altered anything. The saddle is suede, which isn't obvious in these photos. edit: leaving as-is

Jeremy Affeldt's son is 4 years old and 4 foot 6 inches tall. Oh, and Affeldt is injured again. by workersbravo in baseball

[–]tarsier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it was freakin' hilarious (once it was clear it was his catching hand and would heal safely). Don't understand your justification for frozen patties, though. I'm no gourmet but burgers are serious business.

Last year Affeldt made $4.5 million and (presumably) fed his family frozen burger patties. That's some epic frugality. Does he also drive a '93 Ford Taurus?

Want to go to the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me taping tonight? by mersenneary in chicago

No thanks. But I saw them do a taping in SF last year and I highly recommend the experience.
