The Swamp

Pretty obvious for me. 2008. I'm in attendance when the Phillies win the World Series, and the Eagles win the DVOA Title.

Damn, that second one is sorry.

Here's always been my rule of thumb when it comes to tipping, and I'm sure I've put it in prior incarnations: If it is a service, and the person involved can personalize said service, it is tipworthy. If you are requesting them to go out of their normal way, then it is tipworthy. If instead it simpl...

Former Nobel Laureate.

Anyone read his stuff. M-Tel read 100 Years of Solitude. Figured the more literate ones here might have picked his stuff up. I never did...

Spit? Swallow? What are you guys talking about? I've been married for 10 years.

With the exeception of a couple of years when I fasted completely during Lenten Fridays, I have had cheese in one form or another every day since I graduated college in May of 1997.

What the hell? I come back to the Swamp, see the bathroom etiquette page, and there's no diagrams? This place has been slipping.

And the head of the CIA in Independence Day.

Enjoying the crap out of this game, Doc. I'm starting both of them my one league.

It's July, and an old, DL-laden Phillies team is going up against a first place Pirates squad.

I don't know about the rest if you, but I'm really looking forward to this MJ-Magic team-up in Barcelona next month.

Just saw a sign while driving that read:

"RIGHT TURN ON RED ONLY AFTER STOP"

Isn't that the rule anyway? Come to a dead stop, then turn right. At least that's what I thought.

Baseball: Can barely remember 80, so 2 (but if you were at a clincher, does that count double?) Basketball: I remember 83 well enough, but my first real Sixers memory was the Moses and the #1 overall trade. Hockey: I was likely conceived after the 74 Cup, and I was 6 months old for the 75... but tha...

Hey, if anyone is going to watch it live, hit me up. I live only about a 5K away from the course.

From the Good Newz, Bad Newz Department:

Last night I had to do a google search which read, verbatim:

"bleeding from penis after fellatio"

And to add insult to injury?

Scottie, can you change ljam1.5 to L-Jam3, si'l vout plait? I'll log out now. Much obliged.

I got random muthaphukkin thoughts, and I learned some new muthaphukkin things. I'm not posting in the same muthaphukkin thread.

Alright. What the fuck? Is this the Random Thoughts and the Learn Something New Everyday threads combined? Fuck that.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Of course they go with a WOP.

If I can give a eulogy for The Dream Team era... Nnamdi Asomugha was my favorite non-Eagle before he came to Philly, and I was really bummed it didn't work out. I thought that maybe the former OL coach just didn't know how to use him, but seeing that QBs throwing to his covered receivers had a QB Ra...

Didn't see it, so I'll start a temp one here.

Did anyone else see the complete moprons on The Amazing Race? It made the kids on Jeopardy last month who all ended up with zero look like Kasparov in comparison.
