The Swamp

I love the dark chocolate peanut butter cups.

Todd Barry premieres his this week.

Michael Shannon deserves some kind of an award for this. I sent that link to my LadyFriend in Seattle, who forwarded it to her 20 year old daughter who is in a sorority. The daughter said that her sorority had already had a long talk about that email, and are using it as a "teaching moment&quo...

Neither will the Rockets. I'm scared to look up the most lopsided series in playoff history because I won't be surprised if the Rockets beat it.

A. Damn. This shit is crazy. Been up since 5:00, and took me until 6ish to get through my Twitter feed (Tweetbot only loaded the last 800ish tweets, so I missed out on most of the earlier events last night/early AM). My money's on others involved. B. Finally got my ass here to Swamp 6.0. My legs we...

The Czech Stop is awesome if you ever find yourself on that stretch of highway. Do they have Czech food? (Dumplings, sausages, kraut and whatnot). If so, I'm going to add that of my list of places to check out when I take my epic roadtrip one day. No, it's pretty much a bakery/gas station. They hav...

The Rockets will not finish within 10 points in any game against the Thunder. They've run out of gas. Not a bad result for the youngest team in the league. Bring on Josh Smith.

The correct answer is John Amaechi. John. Amaechi.

Giff

He's no Biggio.

Yeah, this seems like a no-brainer.

I'd probably have become a teacher. Good union, not terrible pay here in MD, good benefits, can find work in most other states, summers off (or work half days in the summer for good pay). Ultimately, I wouldn't mind teaching others to teach so I can make sure the shitty teachers my Max has run into...

THE ASTROS WON A SERIES, THE ASTROS WON A SERIES!!!

Finished that Traffic book that had been mentioned here a few times. Pretty interesting and eye-opening.

About halfway through The Passage. I hear the second book is awful, but I'm really enjoying this one. I did not read the flap so went into it nearly blind.

Giff

Rockets won thanks to a goaltending call at the buzzer on Jermaine O'Neal. First playoff berth since 2009. Not bad for the youngest team in the league.

Giff

How's mister d doing??

FX is developing a vampire show based on the The Strain trilogy.

Johnnie wrote:So wait, Californication finished up this week? Why was I able to get a hold of the final episode last week then?

I think Showtime makes episodes available on their website the week before.

Justified's finale was satisfying. Next season should see some pretty awesome Boyd/Winn Duffy scenes.

I hope he didn't inherit his dad's love of the booger sugar.

That show is getting funnier and funnier.

There was nothing quite so delightful as an Ebert review of a really bad movie. I think he got a perverse kick out of dreaming up new ways to say "this movie sucks". For example, from his review of the movie "North": "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this m...

You'd think at that point you'd just let him have the game off. Except wouldn't that completely undermine the point of BOTH parties? Rockets want him to be available. White says he can drive to games. Blah blah blah. Well, I thought the issue was him being able to take the bus when feasible. Doesn'...

Bummer.

How is the Royce White thing going? Outta site outta mind it seems. He's played well at times in the D-League and others he's played awful. He's such a unique talent that it will be a shame if he doesn't ever amount to anything. My favorite story of his so far is him taking that damn bus to Santa C...

Giff

Either the intro to Ants Marching or Sanford & Son theme song.

Giff

I think Fallon's show is hilarious...Thank You Notes is my favorite sketch. And as Johnnie mentioned, the house band is awesome. I'd figure this site would love him just for the musical guests.

Giff

Chris Carter's line for the series - 0 fer 11, 7ks. Good work!

We know how that's going to end. Don't worry...as always, I'll be OK.

AB!!! Thomas [sic] Jones, straight from D-League to a double-double! He was very close to two sure-fire SC top 10 plays on put backs. He's very good. I'm surprised he has spent all season in the d-league, and I was hoping when they dealt both morris and patterson that he would get more run, but I'm...

Louisville/Michigan earns me a cool $118 in a Sweet Sixteen pool.

I'm sure they're much more insulted by the general disregard for women's basketball in general than they are Griner getting a workout.

Absolutely no reason not to do that. In addition to the publicity garnered, it'll be interesting to see how bad she's dominated. I wouldn't draft her, but sure, bring her in for a workout/tryout. It can't hurt, but god do I get tired of this argument. It happens every couple of years, whenever ther...

Agreed. I doubt she is drafted.

I gave up after four. Should have held on for just one more, huh?

Houston teams do well against Dallas teams when it's the first game in a new league. So, 57 more of these or so this year?
