fastball reaction time - may 05 challenge 

FASTBALL REACTION TIME
If you don't see a fun little baseball activity above of this somewhat less fun text, you probably don't have the Shockwave plugin. You can install it from here.
hopefully, the desire to be numero uno will push p po (and the rest of you silent minions out there) across the rubicon to the happy shores populated by those that have the ability to post comments, if only to disabuse the djb of the notion that he is fastball hitter par excellence.

depending on how aggro competitive this gets, screen shots could be required and prizes awarded.

click fast!

ok, for some reason, the commenting system still seems to be beyond the ken of the p po...

but, he is able to take screenshots and paste them into word documents that he can email to me...

presuming that he hasn't added image manipulation to his tricksssisssy bag of tricks, the new bar is set at a dauntingly low:

0.0630 sec

OK, 0.005, that's just outrageous. Going to go ahead and declare pPo the winner of this challenge.

Excellent work, and an indication of FAR too many attempts.

Your prize:
1 (one) lightly used (some would say perfectly broken in) 33" Louisville Slugger Model C271 which unfortunately bears A-Rod's wood burned "signature".

If you prefer, some judicious Sharpie-ing could turn it into a lupMixy "signed" bat, but since it is a bat and not a glove, it would seem you could use it safely without suddenly becoming afraid of the ball.

Congratulations to pPo from a grateful nation of djb haters!

SCREENGRAB OR NOT, PPO SCORE A SHAM NOT SKILL. HAVE WITNESSED REPEATED CLICK-CLICK-CLICKING. HE'S JUST AN OBSESSED TIMER THAT HAD TO GIVE UP ROCKETMANIA DUE TO HEADACHES AND SLEEPLESSNESS.

SAD, SAD, SAD.

caption game 



Submitted for your caption gaming enjoyment, and to dilute the Brit-centricity of the posts of late, please find the above, containing a few (two, well perhaps three, if pairs are counted individually) of my favorite things...

May Quiz (At least it showed up before June) 

All apologies for the radio silence of late, but blogMixy WHQ recently moved, our dog ate our blog posts and the posts must have gotten lost in the mail...

In any case, here comes the quiz:
    What musical instruments are represented below?
  1. P O
  2. BA BA
  3. ECLART
  4. @ # $ %

piano, tuba, clarinet, cymbals .. was this quiz, like a distressing amount of the content of this blog, intended for Britney fans?

Last comment (3-for-Thursday one day early!); I can't believe you wasted 4/20 (dude) on that Jane Fonda story. But then there's this - I just feel so bad for J-Lo, the innocent victim in this tragic cultural conflict. How is she going to put food in the mouths of Marc Antony's kids?

damn, was the quiz that easy?

i guess my preparations for fatherhood (becoming as stupid as my daughter will certainly think me to be) are coming along swimmingly.

where are the other 2 comments you reference, djb?

BTW, excellent use of italics, and linking, grasshoppa DJB...

a prize of some ilk will be coming your way...

Thank you Lupus. Need I break down the three comments? * Sigh * One: answer to "quiz"; Two: comment re: overBritsposure; and Three: comment re: MTM-gate.

Use "you're" counting!
