When Random Jibberish is riding in a time machine way far into the future...

So in other words, this is nothing we're talking about here.

 

If he put out a contract on Jed York, I doubt there'd be too many tears shed...

 

Yes it is. If we are talking about Eddie D buying an existing NFL franchise, this is exactly wat we or I was talking about.

 

this really bummed me out as I was watching BBC World News last night, an in depth look at the homelessness problem in our area, focused mainly on local people who ride the 22 bus at night to find shelter and sleep. Its a staggering contrast (and a shame on our city and local mega businesses) that we live in one of the wealthiest areas in the country and have so many people living in desperate poverty and camped out all over the place...

This was one of the major issues in the 2014 San Jose municipal campaign season, and the problem has only gotten worse in the ensuing six years. None of our elected officials can pretend to have been blindsided.

 

such a tough problem, but one that can't be ignored, for so many reasons starting with the human suffering involved. our response has been wholly insufficient and the problem is growing out of control. we really need a public/private response unlike anything we've ever seen before. the cost of this problem is staggering on so many levels.

 

42-year-old Zamboni driver pressed into emergency duty last night in Toronto when both Carolina goalies injured. Recorded the win. First emergency netminder to get a win, and oldest netminder to win his debut.

Which is more embarrassing for Toronto? Losing to an old-man-in-the-stands-emergency-goalie? Or losing to the Quakes while playing with a two-man advantage?

 

I’ve never looked at this thread before. Is this the right place to post this for @Earthshaker’s benefit?

All the really important stuff is on this thread.

Just sayin.'

 

To save my screen time, I am not going back through this thread!!!!!

 

A) I saw the movie.

B) I read/watch the news.

C) Another botched conclusion on your part.

 

Darn, I thought you would like the prime pun

 

My bad. I didn’t click on the original link. That was a good one.

 

Caffe Frascati in San Jose's SoFA District is closing. (And a reminder why I love Gary Singh.)

. . . Gary Singh, who writes a weekly column for San Jose Inside’s parent publication Metro Silicon Valley, says he’ll miss the café for all of its flaws, from the “ratty chairs and beautifully incongruous furniture” to the “faded literary journals” and “dog-eared travel guides” lining the shelves in the upstairs loft.

“Frascati is the only coffee shop left downtown that actually still looks and feels like a real coffee shop,” he says. “It feels like North Beach in San Francisco. Or old-timey Greenwich Village. Poets, musicians, artists, drunks, professors, Bohemian street intellectuals and outcasts all just naturally gravitate to the place. Because they get it. They can tell.”

The scuffed-up wood floors and wobbly tables are part of the charm.

“At Frascati, everything is wonderfully disfigured and crumbling and gorgeous,” Singh says. “It’s the last dive bar of coffee shops.” . . .

Serious question: did they serve good coffee?
