Well no one told me, dammit.

I learned how auto industry analysts calculate seasonally adjusted annual rates.

I wish I had learned how to talk to women instead.

 

[YankeeFan]

Yeah. It's been around for a while, BD.

Oh? Are you a member?

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Nice try, YF. Not gonna get sucked into that crap. If you wanna know the details, and I'm assuming you already do, shoot me a PM. If not, oh well.

What? What happened?

Who from that site would tell me anything?

 

[Precious Roy]

Thanks to everyone, we're beyond excited.

 

[dixiehack]

I learned that generic drugs can have up to a 10% variance from the original.

 

[bumpy mcgee]

Huh, you know somthing? I always thought that dogs laid eggs. So, yeah. I learned something today.

 

[murphyc]

We've all learned recently that if you stand for journalism ethics, you will be called (via Twitter) a hater by those who wouldn't know what ethics are if they knocked 'em upside the butt. (/crossthread).

Oh, and congrats Roy!

That Richard Jewell had died. I have no idea how I missed that at the time.

Well hell, now I can use that one too. Did not know that.

Also... 50 bucks for a meal? For one person? Uh, not in my lifetime.

 

[YankeeFan]

I don't think I've spent less than $100 for dinner for two for at least 8 or 10 Saturday nights running.

Share an appetizer. 2 entrées. Split a dessert. Throw in a couple of cocktails.

Add that up, along with tax and tip, and you're at $100 or more in a whole lot of good restaurants in this town.

I learned about Sports Night. And now am going to start watching on Netflix.

Good call, Matt.

I'm midway through the second season. Good show.

 

[Smash Williams]

This is like.... two weeks ago recently, but I learned I love South Park-style satire after I saw "Book of Mormon" on Broadway. I'd always avoided South Park because I'm not a fan of gross-out humor, but I'll probably give it a chance now.

 

[ShiptoShore]

I learned that birthdays don't have to be limited to the day alone.

Free drinks three nights in a row. Thank you Facebook, and thank you small town.

I also learned I drink a lot.

 

[Football_Bat]

I learned that jet planes don't have reverse gears.

 

[spikechiquet]

I learned that SportsJournalists.com has been freezing on me a lot lately. It gets stuck trying to download the ads and I have to F5 it.

Ad Block, ftw.

I learned that Andruw Jones' intro music at Yankee Stadium sounds eerily like the score to the movie War Games.

 

[dooley_womack1]

I just learned of the existence of Cheers' Gary's Tavern (I knew about the place Whitman equates it to). And I learned that following Big Brother on Twitter is addictive.
