Off Topic: I Can Pump My Own Damn Gas Thank You


I hate full service gas stations, I hate them with passion equal to the hatred of the Papel-boner. Everytime you pull into a gas station in New Jersey you think to yourself, damn this is sweet. It's 2.30$ a gallon in Jersey and 2.75$ a gallon in Southern CT. But then you pull up the pump and wait. And then you wait some more. And then the gas clerk asks you to drive your car up to the next pump as he finishes pumping someone else's gas. Then he finally meanders his way to your car and asks you in some language that certainly isn't english how much you want and what kind you want. When you say "fill it with regular", he says "Regulah?" because not only does he not speak english but he can't understand you either. Than he puts the gas pump into your tank, locks it up, and walks away.

[Gas Fills... and Done]

And now you sit in your car saying to yourself my gas is done pumping, can you just pull the damn pump out of the tank, make me sign a receipt and let me get back on your miserable highway. But instead of instant help, you watch him talking to his gas station co-workers who also are lazy as fuck. Eventually after like 3 minutes he comes back to your car says something again non-English that means "Do you want a receipt?" After a few uncomfortable exchanges you finally get to leave, 10 minutes later and now pissed off. And you're still on the Jersey Turnpike.

I CAN PUMP MY OWN FUCKING GAS... I hate you Jersey.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
