31-Jul-06Remember Lou’s?
31-Jul-06My favorite pawnshop, Lou’s, which I’ve mentioned in previous posts, lost its gunshop license. I find this utterly and completely hysterical. Or maybe I’m just in a foul mood and this is supposed to be terrifying. Hmm…
Abreu was traded
30-Jul-06…to the Yankees. Now, who I really wanted to see go was Pat Burrell. Instead the Phils traded away a very decent player and got… …four minor leaguers. I know I’ve been calling for an Abreu trade for years. But for something decent in return, see? Yes, it clears the Phillies payroll, but they traded [...]
Amalgamation of Things
28-Jul-06So, Philadelphia won’t get the Olympics. Why? Because it doesn’t have an identity, apparently. The USOC apparently didn’t care too much about the tabula rosa concept, and apparently a number of international sports leaders (out of 100) didn’t think Philadelphia could cut it. It’s true. Philadelphia has been so disgruntled being the ugly stepchild in [...]
No Olympics for Us
26-Jul-06Oh well. It was a neat idea while it lasted.
Football Season

Ran his mouth too frequently. 2) No hold outs – everyone except Broderick Bunkley is signed. Bunkley is the Eagles’ first round draft [...]
Olympic Bid
25-Jul-06We’ll know by tomorrow whether Philadelphia is still in contention for the 2016 Olympics. Of course it’d be a huge boon for the local industry – the tourism revenue tends to be measured in billions, not millions. Traffic will suck for two weeks, of course, but the Olympics! In Philadelphia! Considering how large the city [...]
Things Broke
24-Jul-06Sorry about that. I was modifying a couple files when everything broke. Turns out I learned a lot about phpMyAdmin, though. Expect it to break again in the near future.
Rumor Mill / Spy Site
24-Jul-06Consider it in the same vein as Akihabara News: introducing the michaelandmare.com Rumor Mill. This particular section of comprak.net is dedicated to following our favorite perpetually almost finished website. You can access the section by clicking on “M&M Rumor Mill” under “Pages” over on the right, or simply click here. It’s all in good fun, [...]
The Value of Fatherhood
22-Jul-06At least my value for fatherhood has been quantified to $655 and 0 cents. And my wife doesn’t like me.
