It's not so bad to get a two-month unpaid vacation when you have zero chance at the playoffs and still have $100M of salary guaranteed for the rest of your contract. Also, Braun will be making significantly more money per season when his extension kicks in next year, so he stands to lose less if su...

Mingya. We jokingly call my Aunt "Ned Flanders" because of her thumping, but even she doesn't have a jesus fetish to that degree.

You have to invite him in. Like a vampire.

Yep.

Was that a throwback to 70's blaxploitation movies? Yo, you see that team over there? Them's Bob's Cats, man.

Is there a rule against besmirching your opponents colors/logos or something? Or is that another of those unwritten rules?

That is so not fabulous.

The Isles locked down Travis Hamonic with a 7 yr deal. I love it because he's young and already well earning the 20+ minutes a game he's getting. He may well end up wearing an 'A' after they move the 'C' over to Tavares. They also signed Naby to a 1 yr deal, which...well, I just hope Naby's got a fu...

This one should be right up Howards alley...

Henderson police arrested a family for refusing to let officers use their homes as lookouts for a domestic violence investigation of their neighbors, the family claims in court.

That's some dedication. He 'roided up for games he wasn't even participating in.

HockeyBuzz.com is reporting strong rumors of Ryan Miller going to the Isles in a trade.

Lately I'm having a hard time giving the slightest of fucks about events greater than 20 miles from myself. So Egypt? I hear news, see pictures, and am completely unmoved.

Pretty Lights - Around the Block https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RlcrCRSY4Y According to the review I read, instead of digging through boxes of old albums to sample from, he first recorded all original music and then sampled from that. Plus, everything was recorded on pre-1970's equipment for the &...

I think Blurred Lines is awesome. Of course, at the rate it's getting played by late July we'll all be deathly sick of it (if not already), but it's a very catchy tune, great for the summertime.

She's becoming quite the martyr on my Facebook feed.

Tammy Duckworth. Like a motherfuckin' BOSS. (Gets good at 4:30) That's awesome and all that. And i applaud her for taking him to task. But lets get real.

But if you want to tell me that too many guns are at least partially to blame for this, please stop. Just because a lot of something that can kill you exists, doesn't mean it's the impetus for what makes you want to kill. The aforementioned attitude towards it all will certainly do that. I would ha...

About Nino Niederreiter, think about what the Leafs did to fuck with Yanic Perreault; how they destroyed his development by keeping him in the AHL. At least Niederreiter is free of that now. I'm kinda bummed he's gone, but from what I've heard he's been vocal about wanting a trade pretty much all s...

Y'know, I always felt men shouldn't really have a say in the matter. I used to think this way as well, until it was my baby inside that womb. Also, if you're going to legally enforce men into paying for the care of those children, they deserve some say. (no, that's not saying a guy can force a woma...

Read something the other day to the effect that marriage is the only legal contract that can be unilaterally dissolved at any time and for any reason, and still hold one party to 18 years of financial obligation. Pretty raw deal. It's a raw deal to take care of your kids? In NYS, so far as I know, ...

That was an insane finish. I'm actually jealous of Hawks fans getting to win like that, just cray cray.

I'd have liked to see the Bruins push it to 7, but I don't think i'd have been able to handle the resurgence of "Boston Strong" had they won it all.

"The View From the Center of the Universe" by Joel R. Primack, Ph.D. and Nancy Ellen Abrams It got new-agey and nut & berryish at the end, but it really struck a chord with me. It was definitely more affirmation of already held beliefs than anything new, but still, it resonated with me...

I don't understand the fascination with genital mutilation here, but every fucking iteration of the Swamp has had a snip thread.

The closest thing I have to a collection is a couple of boxes of old Magic: The Gathering cards. I think the oldest I go is the Ice Age expansion (I might have a few 3rd or 4th edition commons), so I doubt I have any bank breakers. I may have a few rares worth something, but I've never given thought...

I'm 5'7". If I weighed 160, I'd look emaciated. 175 is the lowest weight I can even view myself being. I'm 5'9" and can't get or keep my weight over 165. Since Jan when I started with the gym, I've been eating more, a lot more. Still, my weight is always between 155 & 165. Some body b...

I'm still on calf socks pushed down. I'll never wear anklets.

That said, I notice calf length black socks (pulled up, even) are popular with the teens-20 somethings now. It's like walking around in a 50's porno movie at times.

More likely it was because there was nothing to dance to.

Alternatively, they may have forgotten to bring the sports equipment.

I like the way the author tried to drag obamacare into the discussion, as if the age 26 limit on covering children is the reason for "extended adolescence" We've been giving passes to "kids" over 20 since the 90's (remember when that poor little 22 yr old Monica Lewinsky was too ...

Hey, this is the new ZMan (est. 12/20/2012)

I haven't worn jorts once this year. I still will, for yard work and such. Out and about in public it's all about the cargo shorts.
