But I liked the version with Bill Murray a lot more.

At least you didn't say Jake Gyllenhaal (or however it's spelled).

22 Jump Street was pretty hilarious.

I carded my first-ever eagle yesterday. It only took me 20+ years to accomplish this achievement, but it finally happened. I hit a driver and 3-hybrid to get the ball on the green, and then sank a 15-foot putt for eagle. It was a hell of a way to start the round (Hole 1 at Hawk's Nest Golf Club ). ...

Doesn't get much more depressing than this Isaiah Austin story. Seems beyond unfair some kid who overcame what he did would get slammed again. Yeah, it does suck. My first ever issue of Sports Illustrated had a story about Flo Hyman who died during a volleyball game due to this undiagnosed disease....

Bittersweet time at work. I've worked for a small (<50 full-time employees plus a few contractors) software company for the last few years. Outside of dealing with one asshole that eventually got himself fired, I've loved it. It's the first time I have worked at a place that I haven't thought about...

At first they were annoying when so many people were using them. But now only a few of my friends do and they do so fairly cleverly.

I'm down. Randomizing is fine with me.

Had him, Kipnis and Desmond in my lineup last night. 18 RBI between them.

Astros have won 12 of last 15. Loving this stretch.

Give her a call and set up the lunch. Don't kill yourself overanalyzing one-word texts. Maybe she's busy or just not a big texter.

CNN is the worst, whenever a dramatic story happens, they report similar events, scaring the crap out of people needlessly. Like the "Summer of the shark attacks" after the cute blonde surfer lost an arm. They sensationalized every shark sighting and attack. Turns out there were fewer tha...

Jim Gaffigan ran into Marc Maron at Frontier last week. The Frontier in ABQ? Place sucks now that some idiots started a gang fight. Not that the food is worse, but not the same ambiance when you get searched if you enter after 9 at night. Still a fan of the tortillas and western styles, helped me s...

I like red that's been marinating pork ala Carne Adovada, but prefer green or Christmas generally..

Also green chile cheeseburgers are the most perfect food on the face of the Earth.

Naive question - but if this guy was a deserter and maybe a traitor, why would the government work for his freedom? It would just seem to me that if this was the case, than everyone would enjoy reading about his deteriorating health as opposed to brokering a deal to get him home. (The first I heard...

How am I missing the top 20? Is it a graphic that could be blocked at work?

For lunch yesterday I had a delicious burrito from this food truck yesterday. Best drunk find ever (not yesterday, post-night one at ACL 2010.).

I asked him what meat came from Pigs, he replied pork. I then asked him if there was another type of food that came from pigs, he said ham. I asked him where bacon came from and he stopped and thought for a minute... He has now decided that he is not giving up on eating pigs. I respect his decision...

Reagan is also a flip-flopper who switched parties because as he aged some of his views changed, kind of like those of a normal fucking person. I believe those comments were both made while he was President, but I'd have to check the dates. I did verify that the quotes were actually made by Reagan,...

Just finished The Martian by Andy Weir. Great, smart book. Reading Elmore Leonard's son Peter's debut now - Quiver. It's actually pretty decent and very reminiscent of his Pops.

Kinda remembering this weird feeling of enjoying watching my hometown's major league baseball club. I really like some of the players you all have assembled. And, as a Kuechel owner, that has been a swell development. Springer started out slow, but he's been on a tear this month. Already set an Ast...

Where are you staying? I've been busy at work, so not as much posting, so send a PM if you want. I'm sure to have several suggestions.

Houston under 7.5 Yeah, that one stood out to me too. If they didn't play in a division with Jacksonville and Tennessee, I'd be all over it, but if they can duct tape a QB situation together, they can win a few low-scoring games this year. If their line plays better than it did last year and Foster...

"How's the Republican?" asked the guy hungry enough that he just looked up the menu. Delicious. I haven't had anything there that wasn't. They're opening one about two miles from our house and across the street from a World of Beer that just opened where you can bring your own food. So, l...
