Hear Ye, Hear Ye-
DRAFT UPDATES
1) This is an important reminder that the draft will be this Saturday at 7:30pm.
2) This too is an important reminder that you can (attempt) to trade your keepers with other managers. You have until tonight to post them to the troggnation@lists.patandkat.com email list. I’m willing to push that out to midnight tomorrow if there’s a real call for it. Remember, both managers have to email the list in order for the trade to go through, and it has to be a 1-for-1 trade.
ALSO!
The draft has been moved to Espostor’s place, since his house was built after the great depression and has more than one centrally-located, ungrounded electrical outlet, a la J’s place. Espostor’s place is located behind Best Buy. So I guess it’s not so much a house as a couple old refrigerator boxes pushed together, but he tells me we can get some bleed-over wi-fi from the store, and that he’s managed to tap into their electric line using an extension cord and some roach clips he “ganked off a 12-year-old stoner.” So that’s awesome.*
His house is located at 2169 Bar Triangle St. here in Chico. There will be a concurrent party going on, unrelated to the draft, in which impious heathens attempt to play god, their machinations played out in cardstock and plastic, their intentions dark and fetid. That’s right, kiddies, it’s board game time. NERDS.**
ETC
This email is a test of the “trognounce” email list. This list is only for announcements, and only Pat and I have access to sending through it. If you reply to this email, it should (will?) start a new thread under the old “troggnation” email list. This is for folks that don’t want to be on the main email list (and the bombardment of emails that that entails) but still want to receive league updates. If you’re one of those people, email Pat or I to have your name removed from the troggnation list and you will only receive the IMPORTANT LEAGUE ANNOUNCEMENTS.
That is all–see you at the draft.

*NOTE: Entire paragraph about Ryan’s house may or my not be entirely made up.
**NOTE: You would think it would be ironic that a Fantasy Baseball commissioner was making fun of people for playing Stratego for one day. You would be wrong. The following is the top 10 from the ISO Standard List of Mockability (ISLoM):
- France
- The Elderly
- Fraternities
- Board Game Players
- Guys Whose Initials Spell Real Words
- Furries
- The Criminally Insane
- The Word “Tuber”
- Irish Catholics Not Named for a Saint
- Lester Strode, bullpen coach of the Chicago Cubs
As you can see, Board Game Players is ranked 4th overall, whereas you have to got all the way down to 18th to find Fantasy Baseball Commissioner between “Papayas” at 17 and “Children Under the Age of 12 Named Marion” at 19. Of course, I’m cherry picking because the NIST list has them tied at #27, right behind “Fat Chicks in Tube Tops”. The top three are unchanged in both lists.
