So slamdancers like me need not apply? 
I remember watching a video a few months ago from NorCal Racing (or whatever) and he talked about looking at the gap between average power and NP to get a good idea of how smoothly you're riding (smaller gap = smoother). Even on longer rides, I'm ******g horrible by that metric.

Understood, but we're talking big gaps, huge. Like, the gap between Michael Strahan's front teeth kind of big.

The orange part outside the foul line is called the "safety base". The idea is to give the runner and fielder more space from each other, and reduce injuries due to collision. This is common for softball. Interestingly, it's not a part of of all softball rule sets. For example, HS and college softball doesn't use the "safety base", but most youth-level rule sets do. There are a few other little details that vary depending on which organization's rules you're playing under. It's kind of irritating, and definitely causes some confusion on the field.
Touching the wrong home plate results in an out.

A technical crit, 60 of us on the course, and me tailgunning. I swear I was in rush hour traffic, and I couldn't pick the right lane to move up. Nominal power/real power. The gap is yuge. Those dang 50+ kids wouldn't give me a break.

I like 'This is the end" and "Light my fire". What more can you ask from a band?

The one I mowed.
A number of years ago I guess you could have said I mowed two lawns, as it's two lots and the small one used to be owned by another group. But one ownership now and I mow it all at once, obviously.

The crows aren't threatening the mockingbirds. Neither did the cats. They just like to attack things.

In senior softball we have a safe base at 1st, 3rd and home plate, and based on a recent close play at second we need one at 2nd too. Old guys mostly just play for fun, no need for anybody to get hurt. In fact I've only witnessed one fool slide into base in the last 7 years.

To be fair I never said I didn't like The Doors. I just recognize that they are a lot sillier and not nearly as deep as I thought they were when I was a teen. Still have some catchy tunes though.

Incorrect. Crows will raid an unguarded bird nest to take nestlings. And cats are a serious threat to small bird species everywhere. TTKU

When you're a teen, and especially when you're high, everything is either much funnier or more profound than when you're older and sober.
