I'm mad as hell and I can't take it anymore: I'm leaving the board

I'll check back in six months.

 

I'm picking out a Thermos for you. Not an ordinary Thermos for you. But the extra best Thermos that you can buy, with vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in.

 

I have a couple old goodbye threads I can loan you from 2005.

This just in: A new in-five minutes ago-out list:

I know I've only been on SJ four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again, and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day I went to cover spring training and that seemed just like a day, and then you started posting later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we IMed, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half.

I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.
