i too was always a "i'll never take a cruise" guy but living in Vancouver we were ripe for it and mrs webster booked us on an alaskan cruise that was incredibly inexpensive (can't remember the cost but our 2 girls were completely free) and left from downtown so our cost to get there was bu...

Re: Steve Albini
have been reminded of a great story about an old friend who went to U Chicago who - with his roommates - would *regularly* prank call Albini and he'd always pick up; my fave anecdote was when they pretended to be Butch Vig for a fair amount of time then screamed 'GET THE LED OUT' to which Albini wou...

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
no anthems or other bullshit. it's real nice. One thing I like about watching English soccer is that if the game is scheduled to start at 5:00, it starts at 5:00. Sports in the US (and Canada) never actually start at the advertised time. I was again reminded of this watching the NFL draft. Advertise...

Ah man - that's really something. Obviously a professionally-rotten day for him but so sincere to give a meaningful tribute in the moment. Well done.

Re: MLB 2024
someone else can fill in details better than i can but i'm pretty sure the newest CBA did address these - in fact by him getting called up today he *does* get a full year of service time.
