Sir Ian looks like what I expect Robert Smith of The Cure will look like in 20-25 years.

I don't trust doctors who don't wear shirts under their scrubs. I don't trust doctors who wear lab coats. Right, you were just in the lab looking at something under a microscope. More likely you were letting the hot pharmaceutical company rep give you a blow job or you were taking possession of 1,0...

I'm pretty sure this is wrong, but I'll guess it anyway. Valerey Borzov? ETA: man, looked it up, embarrassed I missed this. I really thought you'd get it. I'll wait for Rush's/Scottie's/other West Coasters' guesses and then I'll shut it down. Dammit, I know when it happened, but I can't remember th...

That's great. Those two should do a traveling stage show. I'd go if they came to Cleveland.

I have no advice for you with all of the Asian spices and peppers, but I will say I typically use a pound of ground beef, a pound of sweet Italian sausage and a pound of either ground pork or veal for my chili meat. The Italian sausage adds a lot of flavor to the meat part of chili. In my book, omit...

I'd be in for 4 as well so that's 29.

Maybe I'll try to dredge up some interest on Facebook.

Thanks. PM me your address and I'll mail a check if you get enough people to do this thing.

Hey billy, here's a Boykins jersey for you!

I'll do four if it's OK for me to send a check instead of PayPal.

Co-sign. I feel much more productive working here than in an office.

Are you talking about the AirPort base station or AirPort Express? The earliest AirPort devices would only work with the 802.11b/g, which are much slower networking protocols than what modern browsers use. 802.11b has a max rate of 11 Mbits/second, while 802.11g has a max rate of 54 Mbits/second.

Last night, Central Michigan had an 18-point lead on the Ohio Bobcats in Athens with 15 minutes left to go. Seven game-time minutes later it was a four-point lead. Ohio ended up winning by four. Cardiac Cats, indeed. Doesn't really hurt that Central sucks balls either. Wasn't like they had to comeb...

You didn't say that! Therefore, my answer is correct.

You get a jizz-covered star.

This is Business Horseshit.

Numerous reports on Twitter that Freddy Adu trained with Blackpool today.

Steve Young?

Blackpool was thumped 5-1 by Reading yesterday, but the Pool goal was a thing of beauty:

Here's the latest: - The car starts fine and dandy now, but I used it several times in the last couple of days. - I confirmed it will not start if in neutral and the clutch is not depressed. It doesn't attempt to turn over. - I took it to an AutoZone yesterday to have the battery and such tested, b...

Had not heard of Pathfinder before. Looked it up and it's a compatible system with D&D's 3.5 rules. I remember hearing about the negative response to the 4th edition of D&D; apparently Pathfinder picked up a large part of the disgruntled fanbase. I played D&D for a while way back when i...

Per Mertesacker really loves books!

Karl Oyston and Paul Ince met for four hours on Sunday. After the meeting, no formal announcement was made, but it appears Ince kept his job. Until now. Paul Ince has been fired (including his assistants Alex Rae and Steve Thompson), and current Pool midfielder Barry Ferguson will take over for the ...

As strange as it sounds, my first suspect would be the battery. A battery loses power as temperatures rise or lower from a normal range(50-75ish). So if the ambient temp had risen when it finally started, that could explain the later start. People are often thrown when lights or a battery operate b...

I have a question for devilfluff, if he's willing to share his professional opinion. I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX with 134k miles. It's a manual transmission car. A couple of times this winter, my car won't start. More specifically, it won't crank at all. I insert my key and when I turn it forward, ...

Ince is abysmal. Blackpool has one point in their last nine Championship matches, and they also lost their FA Cup match in the middle of that stretch. Rumors abound that's going to be fired today, but so far, nothing official. His son is also rumored to be transferring either to Monaco or PSG for £...

Will do. I might be back at the end of May for a few days. I'll let you know if that happens.

Chicken club salad from Jason's Deli. I had to wait 15 minutes to get the damn thing and it tastes bland, even for a salad. Not a lot of healthy choices for lunch in suburban San Antonio. How long are you there? Until 10:49 CST tomorrow morning. I was originally scheduled to be here through next Tu...

They want to interview Adam Gase, the Broncos' offensive coordinator, but he's said he won't interview until the Broncos are out of the playoffs.

Hiroo Onada.

I love that mask. I might need to buy one.

I did, as a senior. "Prevailing Themes and Styles of Francesco Petrarch". Safe to say the topic was selected on my behalf. My paper was about the U.S. invasion of Grenada. I still remember some specific facts I learned about the invasion, such as the U.S. Army didn't have proper military ...

I don't think that colon's right. It should be a period. Agreed. On a semi-related subject, my daughter is in eighth grade and the amount of writing she has to do now is surprisingly heavy. And, it's apparently going to get a lot heavier. Last night we went to an informational meeting at the high s...
