I need some things typed up for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Me: I’d love to, but I’m really too busy to except any more typing jobs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(he just stares at me, disappointed)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Old man: Do you have any friends who want a job typing?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Me: Not really. My friends are all horrible typers. I’m the best of the bunch, and even I’m not that great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Old man: Okay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He then sits right next to me to eat his eggs, so he has to watch me work and see that, in fact, I’m actually an amazing typer.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/38758754</link><guid>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/38758754</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:51:21 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>This is the kind of hijinks the school uniforms were supposed to...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/zR2GFqlHNa5m0t2p8YwCxAnH_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is the kind of hijinks the school uniforms were supposed to put an end to.</description><link>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/38202587</link><guid>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/38202587</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:47:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/zR2GFqlHN9y2x8axASJerxJt_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/37533687</link><guid>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/37533687</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:19:14 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Braves' Smoltz to have season-ending shoulder surgery</title><description>&lt;a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3425461"&gt;Braves' Smoltz to have season-ending shoulder surgery&lt;/a&gt;: God dammit.

One of Hamilton’s most famous moments involving the “Folly Floater” occurred during a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_24" title="June 24" target="_blank"&gt;June 24&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970" title="1970" target="_blank"&gt;1970&lt;/a&gt; game against the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Indians" title="Cleveland Indians" target="_blank"&gt;Cleveland Indians&lt;/a&gt;. Hamilton threw the pitch to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Horton" title="Tony Horton" target="_blank"&gt;Tony Horton&lt;/a&gt;, who fouled it out of play behind home plate. Horton asked for another “Folly Floater”, and Hamilton again threw one, and again Horton popped it into foul territory behind home plate—this time into &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurman_Munson" title="Thurman Munson" target="_blank"&gt;Thurman Munson&lt;/a&gt;’s mitt. Embarrassed, Horton crawled back into the Indians’ dugout.”</description><link>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34644684</link><guid>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34644684</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 May 2008 06:58:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>We know Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy Fallon is no Conan O'Brien</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_9236554"&gt;We know Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy Fallon is no Conan O'Brien&lt;/a&gt;: What the hell is up this reporter’s asshole?</description><link>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34621215</link><guid>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34621215</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 May 2008 01:50:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Shakedown, breakdown, takedownEverybody wants into the crowded lineBreakdown, takedown, your..."</title><description>“Shakedown, breakdown, takedown&lt;br/&gt;Everybody wants into the crowded line&lt;br/&gt;Breakdown, takedown, your busted&lt;br/&gt;Shakedown, breakdown, honey&lt;br/&gt;Just about the time you’re thinkin it’s alright&lt;br/&gt;Breakdown, takedown, your busted”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Shakedown-lyrics-Bob-Seger/18FBEDAC3DB8A24F48256DD5000F2D3D" target="_blank"&gt;BOB SEGER - “SHAKEDOWN” &lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://paulscheer.com/" target="_blank"&gt;paulscheer&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes we just need to be reminded…. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34583954</link><guid>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34583954</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 May 2008 17:35:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>New “Anton &amp; Crapbag”Not sure why the...</title><description>&lt;embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:mvideo:mtv.com:10142415" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="window" width="400" height="333" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="dist=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo%2Eaol%2Ecom%2Fpartner%2Fmtv%2Fanton%2Dand%2Dcrapbag%2Dchopping%2Dcarts%2Fmgid%3Acms%3Amvideo%3Amtv%2Ecom%3A10142415&amp;orig=aol"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;New “Anton &amp; Crapbag”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not sure why the “warning” is on there twice.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34578629</link><guid>http://ericscott.tumblr.com/post/34578629</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 May 2008 16:34:00 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
