  • So hard to build any sort of strategy in a letters draft when you're at the end and there are so many picks before you're up again. I keep having a list of 6-8 guys I'm comfortable with and they're inevitably all gone when I'm up again.

      yeah, I have short lists for each of the rare letters at this point with the theory that I'll take one of the guys I think are approximately equal once the others go, but so far that hasn't worked real well.
      In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

        Sorry, couldn't let a Vintage Draft go by without complaining.

          Never heard of such a thing. that is terrible.

          • Had to leave the office early but I'll pick when I get home in the next 1-2 hours.

              That's pretty standard in AZ...so annoying. I haven't played in a tourney in at least 2 years, sadly. I had a crazy run too where I won about $8K over a 6-month period. Then I had kids.

              • Anyone got any good advice for catching mice? They are dodging my traps, and keeping me awake at night gnawing on the floorboards. Lack of sleep is making me feel less and less humane towards these little baskets.

                  Cat, trap placed inside a box, or sticky mouse paper. That's all I got

                  • I can offer nothing constructive to this conversation. I will be bombarded at work tomorrow and not likely in front of a computer most of the day. PM me when I'm and I'll pick while I can. While you wait, you can...
                    -wait for the Phillies to get good again
                    -ponder the existence of Not Your Father's Root Beer (seriously. wtf is that?!)
                    -Suck it

                    ETA - or you could really be useful and think of mice-catching suggestions for johnny.

                      This mouse / mice is like nothing I've seen before. Seems to know every trap, doesn't seem to be scared by my presence.

                      Both neighbours have cats, and one side has kittens recently. I get the feeling it / they think my place is a sanctuary ...

                          They are resisting my chocolate snares. I'll give peanut butter a shot.

                          Will also try and kidnap one of the neighbours cats tomorrow.

                              sounds like a pet. you should just name it.

                                how do you leave out just enough floorboards?
