1985 World Series. Goddamn you, Don Denkinger.

In a weird bit of synchronicity, one of my co-workers got busted for a DUI in the company parking lot this morning. So he didn’t actually get to show up to work drunk. :)

This is a really short-sighted decision by USC. Morris Buttermaker showed up shit-faced practically every day and got a bunch of obnoxious children to perform just fine!

For some people. I ran in them for almost a year and had no problems. The only reason I stopped wearing them is that they were a pain to get on and they’re really no good when running downhill.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15. My last two pairs of running shoes have been Brooks, over 300 miles on both including a couple of marathons on each. Durable, comfortable, haven’t had any foot, ankle, or knee problems with them. They work great for me. Can’t guarantee they’ll work for others.

Goalies (good and bad) have their stats harmed by being on bad teams anyway. Teams that spend a lot of time on the penalty kill will hurt their goalies stats more than this will. The sharps realize that 5-on-5 SV% is a much better indicator of goalie performance anyway.

Nope, they rioted then as well.

You’d think 2010 would be more painfully remembered, no? I thought that 1994 team was pretty much revered in BC.

Sorry about your dad, Leslie. That blows.

On the other hand, a reprise of the Don Denkinger call would be a truly wonderful thing ...

Nothing this week, but I’m definitely going to take a crack at that bacon jalapeno mac and cheese thing next week.

You realize the NYT article was reviewing the salon situation in NYC, right? How the situation is in Chicago has no relevance to what the Times article was about, and Chicago was only mentioned in the context of how saturated the NYC market is with nail salons in comparison.

Yeah, this is the rub. An actual government investigation, not the NY Times, confirmed that there were serious problems in the nail salon industry. What is the protesters’ response to that?

The girlfriend and her suit are sadly no longer with me. I still have the powder blue, though, but it doesn’t fit. :(

I’m still convinced the 2013-14 Pacers witnessed a murder sometime around mid-March, and Roy Hibbert, sensitive soul that he is, just never recovered. He’s more than an ambulatory block of wood, though. His offense has cratered, but he ranked fourth in opponent field goal percentage in defending shots at the rim…

It was delightfully ridiculous. The whole outfit was this showy peach monstrosity with sequins that looked really out of place on a petite Japanese woman, but I loved it.

Body wash is soap for people who like to spend an inordinate amount of money on soap. Doesn’t get you any cleaner, just costs more.

When I lived in Atlanta, I lived in an area that had six Baptist churches within three square miles of my house. Even though neither of us were religious, my girlfriend at the time and I decided to attend hoping to witness the singing and whooping and hollering and such. It was everything I hoped. Everyone was super…

Update: Some folks are saying it’s more black metal than death metal. That’s great.

I hadn’t bought it yet (not really interested in alpha testing with what little gaming time I have) but I did follow the progress and listen to the hilarious dev diaries, which were refreshingly open about all the bugs and such. Happy to get it.
