Fags.  Tabs.  Gaspers.  Snouts.

"Can I ponce a fag, mate?"

I gave up, by the way - getting on for two years ago now.  I don't miss it at all, although I do occasionally dream about it and then wake up really angry with myself for a couple of seconds.

I picked it back up a few months ago and am in the process of quitting again with the help of an e-cig.

If there was a way to only smoke the cigarettes you smoke right after waking up on a cool, foggy morning with a nice cup of coffee, sign me up for a life subscription. All the other cigarettes you smoke will pale in comparison to those ones. I still miss those ones.

Yeah cigarettes and coffee went together like ham and eggs when I was in college.  It took me a while to separate the interdependent relationship between the 2.

The tough one for me was walking places without a smoke in my hand. I used to chain smoke when I was on foot. I could time all my walks in Charleston by how many cigarettes I smoked during them. It took 3 to get to one of my crappy part-time jobs, but only 2 for the other one. The first time I tried to walk to work after my first try at quitting was hellish. I had no idea what to do with my hands.

Looking back over the years I can say without exaggeration that pretty much everybody in my life smoked at one point or another, including Mrs. flannj.

Except for me because it's fucking gross.

Missed the starting pitcher for 1996, the starting LF for 93-94, CF for 1993, SS for 2000, RF for 2012, CF for 2013, and 2B for 2013.

WHO CAN TOP ME.

Damn, that is impressive. I came in at a measly 134. This season was the only one where I got the full lineup.

Huey really needs to take this test and smoke you with a perfect score. The 2B for 2013 is definitely hilarious - it's amazing how quickly I've wiped the 2012-2014 teams from my memory.

You seriously got a 217?  Wow.

I got 188.  Memory is a funny thing--at least mine is.  I had a harder time recalling players from 2006-2010 than I did from 1991-1995.

Only TJ can save us now. Yeah I had a harder time with the last few years than I did with '91 and '92.

Yeah, basically this. I ended up with 172. Ran the table on 1991-1995 once I figured out how to spell Buechele. No problems remembering Damon Berryhill and Hector Villanueva. But then I forgot about guys like Pena, Izturis and DeJesus. 1999-2002 was my worst section. Who the hell is Jose Nieves?

I remember him, but I never would've guessed he was in an Opening Day lineup.

Yeah what the heck happened to Ricky Gutierrez that he didn't start on Opening Day in 2000?

And yeah I struggled the hardest with the 2012-2013 Cubs. I thought for sure Bryan Lahair started 2012 opening day at first base but it was Jeff Baker. Was it Brent Lilibridge or Blake DeWitt that Slaky hated with the fire of a thousand suns? Probably both.
