I didn't get my SJ series win points in your rankings, unless I missed it somewhere.

One thing that bodes well for the Sharks . . . 2009-10 Chicago defeats Vancouver (Conference Semi-Finals), wins Cup. 2010-11 Boston defeats Vancouver (Stanley Cup Finals), wins Cup. 2011-12 Los Angeles defeats Vancouver (Conference Quarter-Finals), wins Cup. That bodes well for my Travzilla playoff...

I'd love to see the Special One or Moyes on the job, but I will wager it isn't either of them.

Reporter: lt's rumored your son was abducted by UFOs. Would you care to comment? Nathan Arizona: Don't print that, son. lf his mama reads that, she's just gonna lose all hope. One of my all-time favorites. Cop: What did the pajamas look like? Nathan Sr.: I don't know - they were jammies! They had Y...

Anyhoo, I'm down to 176!

Yes, we're still on fatbet. I'm hovering around 180. Too many fun weekends.

Bourbon and water is likely the trick.

Hammered after a great day with my best childhood friend, 18 holes, lunch, blackjack tables, and the wife's birthday. One of the best days. Hope you're all well.

Oh, I did.

Manhattans are great, but almost too sweet. Neat bourbon is a wee bit too strong. What's a nice middle?

I'm in tears in my office watching that video. My coworkers better not need anything for a while.

Yes it is. Love this story.

I'm still curious about what all of you guys do with your devices when you use regular earbuds with wires. Where do you put your device? Do you use your phone? I don't frequent gyms. Almost never go. My workouts are almost exclusively distance running (which I've been doing more of now than in year...

My pre-iPhone5 headphones keep slipping out of my ears when I run. Maybe I'm just too fast?

It's 4:15 in the East. A nasty storm woke me up, and the A's and Angels are still playing in Oakland. Bottom of the 18th. Longest A's game in history as of a few minutes ago.

The Onion AV club put out a George Jones Spotify playlist.

According to imdb, Breakin came out in May 1984, and Breakin' 2 was released in December 1984. That would make it seven year old me, and how did they release the sequel only seven months later? The story and acting are so great, you could never tell it was made in one long weekend in early June.

Ten year old me LOVED that movie. That clip is hilarious now. That's Shaq's All Star game intro move when the chick joins in.

This situation is going to make my Germany assignment pretty bad, I'm thinking. Ick.

Vet your source. From what I've read, there's a lot of Saddam used WMD chatter about this report.

Anyone a google talk user? Here's the issue: My LadyFriend and I were IM'ing, using google talk, and all of a sudden, something came up in the box where she would type, that neither her or I wrote.

Thanks, chedda. Another question, if you don't mind. Tsarnaev can be charged Federally on First Degree (or higher?) murder charges on the death of the MIT officer, though, can't he? As part and parcel of committing an act of terrorism, or some such language? Plus, didn't they seriously injure at le...

Well, if he wasn't the one who fired the shot that killed him, he may be able to get out (somewhat) of that one. Under Florida law, if he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger, but was involved in the felony that led to the officer's death (pretty certain that's the case), he can be charged with fe...
