The Swamp

I was bummed he didn't do one for Raleigh.

Scottie, where do you see that icon? I'm guessing it's different, depending on which look-and-feel you chose? I'm using the blue swamp and I see a different icon up top. This one: http://sportsfrog.net/phpbb/styles/subsilver2/imageset/site_logo.gif It looks like it's the same name, so we would just ...

Backstory

That is perfect.

That was interesting. Obviously, it's more useful if you've read the comics, but even if not, I think it gives you a good taste of what they're like. If you like the show, you'll like the comics. They're better written, I think. I bit darker, but also a bit more self-consistent.

Well that puts a bit of a damper on the Charles Ramsey gold. So does being a convicted felon . See, this is an aspect of modern media I could do without. Why does this matter to this story? Sure, this guy could be a dirtbag, but he answered the call of a stranger calling for help. He's not Superman...

Yeah, that's a hell of a long career for a speed position. When the Barbers were at UVA, Ronde was good first - immediately, actually, I think he made the freshman All-American team. Throughout his career, he was sort of like Deion - teams just didn't throw to his half of the field. Later, as Tiki b...

I thought it looked really fake when I saw Clash of the Titans in the theater a million years ago. I still thought it was cool though.

And yeah, that skeleton scene was really well done though. Much better than Clash.

There are different broods that emerge at different intervals (always prime numbers of years, I believe). There will be some cicadas every year, but in some years you get a LOT. I think the 17-year brood that emerges this year is a particularly large one.

BTW, anyone see Charles Barkley comment on Collins? I meant to post his TNT pregame show round table. He said every player in the NBA has played with gay players, and he knows of at least 3 or 4 teammates that were gay. He made it sound like he knew at the time, and that his teammates knew at the t...

Did someone say Orb?

I recently finished the audio book of this one: http://bks6.books.google.com/books?id=_RzhJ2fkM20C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71GmAjOFl14nOfoTw96dhEobJ0CK3XOvjU9vdJfLgNwV8fXBvLRjDNwcSSgNdWqAGJ5B-lq9y93RC5IACd65gWxsr9EsUT1otqpLnF3MYuw57pr6EseQKpt-RhbtMdp...

That's just about the coolest thing ever.

Well, I DO get tired of all of the gay players on both teams circling up after the game and blowing each other right there on the field.

Pretty amazing work by IBM here.

Use the media tag instead.

Poof - time gone. That was fun.

Two observations about the George Jones Pandora radio station : 1. There's a lot of crappy country music. Just really lame, sappy, tinkly-piano kind of ballad crap. Luckily a few downvotes of Alan Jackson and the like have made it much better. 2. Of the remaining stuff, about one in four songs name ...

Wouldn't you be able to taste the rubbing alcohol in the orange juice? It's not THAT lethal is it? You'd have to put enough in there to affect the taste, I'd think.

Jesus. Wish I hadn't read that. I might skip the bench press today at the gym. I'll have that vision in my head.

You know, I've never bought the whole notion that a locker room would be a hostile place for an out gay athlete. Sure, you can always get some athletes to take the bait and say they'd never coexist with a gay teammate, but in reality, it would be fine. Every team has players who are different, who d...

Well, he IS gay.

Shortly after I posted that great Iggy Pop story, I created an Iggy Pop-based station in Pandora. I've been listening to it for a couple of weeks and it's awesome. A lot of Iggy and the Stooges of course, but also quite a bit of old Bowie, the Velvet Underground and other old punk and garage bands. ...

Christians believe in only one position.

This part stunned me: Collins said that he told his brother during a breakfast meeting last summer. "He never suspected. So much for twin telepathy," Collins wrote. "But by dinner that night, he was full of brotherly love. For the first time in our lives, he wanted to step in and prot...

Yeah, I saw the news on the TV at the gym and was pretty excited about it. It's a big deal. Then I learned that he's not really on a team right now. That definitely lessens the impact. Don't get me wrong, it's a big deal and it's a step toward a young, active player coming out, but I was hoping this...

Keep. You took on all the risk by taking your house off the market, trusting that they could really buy it. The fact that your house resold quickly should be irrelevant. And it's not just four days after you relisted - it's all the time between accepting their offer and your getting a new one. That ...

I loved that movie too. That battle scene is awesome. I guess the bad guys won because they had a girl? The rules are a little hazy to me.

I'm sort of surprised the Moscow subway runs on schedule enough for the dogs to figure out the routine. I'm guessing it's not time based. The dogs can recognize the sounds and smells of the right stations. I'm sure they announce the name of the station as they roll in (or they announce the next sta...

That's really cool. I don't think I've ever seen that trick.

If you want to lose your illusion:

That is incredible. A little scary, actually.

The second CD I ever bought was The Joshua Tree , pictured above. But didn't everybody buy that one at the time? I remember Brothers In Arms being huge back then as well. There also wan't a helluva lot of choice at the time. Yeah, both of those were in my early cd collection. Probably in my first t...

I got my first CD player my junior year of high school, so I bought my first CDs in 86 or 87. I remember thinking they were so expensive. I wanted something I thought would sound particularly cool in great digital sound, so I chose for this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9a/So...

I'm pretty sure it was this one, complete with the laser etchings.

I'm guessing it's just time and money. Blogging well takes a lot of time and rarely pays good money.
