I didn't get to see the game. I'm very excited we beat a team like Italy, but you're right in that it doesn't matter THAT much. I wish they'd call Brek Shea up to the senior team - I really think he can be the next big thing for the USMNT. A one-two punch of Shea and Dempsey can be very potent.

Think he was alluding to the fact that this post was from Tom Scocca, not Drew.

Nice

I recently moved from Sydney to Singapore for work. I absolutely loved everything about Australia. Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen, and the quality of life down under is pretty damn fantastic. Really the only thing I held against it was that you have to travel about 24 hours straight to get…

I saw him play Carnegie Hall a few years ago, and it was one of the best concerts experiences I've ever seen. He plays like a dozen instruments (half of which look like they're straight out of a Dr Seuss book) on his own, manages to loop them all together, and is a kickass whistler too. I'd say he's moderately…

I do love me some angsty teen rock. It's a guilty pleasure, and I'll rock out to the likes of Alkaline Trio, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Yellowcard when nobody's around.

Nothing will top the original Cosmic Voyage as narrated by Morgan Freeman. In college, my girlfriend and I used to get high and watch that every few weeks. Equally amazing sober, too.

Mario Balotelli is listed as one of his favorite athletes, so this all makes a LOT more sense now.

Thanks for that. Very interesting reads, as I completely ignore my responsibilities at work right now.

I agree completely. I remember spending hours and hours on end playing that when I was a kid, and it still holds up as a very entertaining game.

Zombies DUAN!

Jesus, I had forgotten half of those. Oldman is fucking DIVERSE.

Well, yeah, that too. Any dude who can pull off this thing resembling hair AND Commissioner Gordon is a champ.

Gary Oldman is indeed a badass, but I am more shocked that he wasn't nominated for his spectacular role in The Fifth Element.

I was going to go with an Al Roker reference, but you're probably closer to the mark.

Just because something is unlikely doesn't mean you should try for it anyways

Some friends and I had a similar study of girls named Allie/Ally. A proper sampling of at least a dozen girls proved that all Allies/Allys are smoking hot.

I sent this to a coworker who's home sick with the stomach flu today. He said that reading the descriptions of everything made him hurl yet again. Success!
