The subtlety of your name is a marvelous distraction from the stupidity of your comments.

What's really weird is those sitting and standing where Flare Guy is ultimately tackled. They hardly flinch, facially or physically. I can assure you, if some nutass was headed my way with a flaming beacon in his hand, I'd be pissing my panties.

Bruins in five. What are you willing to bet I'm wrong? :)

Glad for this post but he didn't "just" beat Ferrer. It happened a good half-hour+ ago.

Did you mean Serena on Nadal?

I'd really like to concur with some of what you say but... punctuation please?

Maybe this is some crude European equivalent of that asshole who follows guys at PGA events screaming, "Mashed potato!"

Well if I learned anything about how to sneak stuff (read: booze) into Fenway, it's all in the approach to security.

I wouldn't mess with a guy built like Nadal.

Apparently, one nutcase ran onto the court with a burning rag (or something), terribly close to Nadal - but I can't tell if there was a second, or they were just replaying the original incident.

WTF is going on, some asshole set fire to something on the court?

I'm curious who your "Top Five Tennis Divas" would be. I'd put her up there in the mix, though no one is higher than McEnroe or Connors. Roddick was a whiner, but never consistently good enough to warrant the crybabying.

Yeah, she doesn't come off as a psycho at all.

+1, fantastic.

I know, right? It's kind of brilliant in its randomness. I mean, bowling with Martin Landau - uhhh what?

I thought Martin Landau had died too, and then I saw this last week.

I mentioned this in response to another poster, but it is actually common to program an emergency contact person as "Mom" in a phone. A stranger trying to help you will make an association with the word that is not possible if you just list the name of your significant other.

It's fairly common to use "Mom" as sort of an "in case of emergency" code on phones. A stranger who retrieved your phone and was trying to figure out who to contact on your behalf if you were incapacitated makes an immediate association to "Mom" that they won't make with your boyfriend/girlfriend's name.

Blatant steal from Tom and Lorenzo. The title of this piece should have been, "According to TLo..."

The first pearl thongs I ever bought (about ten years ago) went right up there in front, so I'm not sure why this would be considered new. The styles modeled look exactly the same.
