Did the Celtics sign Miles just to screw over the Blazers? I remember reading somewhere that if he doesn't play this season, the Blazers get some major cap relief or something along those lines.

@MrRedDevil: Verne also earns my goodwill due to his magnificent work in Happy Gilmore.

@MrRedDevil: He's done a lot of good LSU games, so I like him. Verne has a good voice, but after hearing him do about 8 LSU games last season, it grew annoying.

@44 in a Row: Pope...that's a weird job. Anyone pope here?

@Rock You Like An Iracane: That made me laugh.

@MrRedDevil: Well, he was totally right. But then again, my favorite Zep tune is probably "Rock & Roll", and that's as sloppy as you can get. I think it's more the fact that I'm not a fan of Robert Plant's voice for some reason.

I just had a Jim Gaffigan routine go through my mind as I was walking down the street with a bag of groceries and a giant pack of toilet paper. People must be wondering "what kind of night does he have planned?"

@MrRedDevil: Never have been much of a fan. I have I-IV plus Houses of the Holy, but I never feel like listening to them. I think it mostly stems from one of my guitar teachers complaining about Jimmy Page being too sloppy.

@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: I also think Dispatch is an East Coast thing. Most of my West Coast friends probably have never heard of them. Guster I liked, ever since I heard "Barrel of a Gun" and "Fa Fa" on the radio. O.A.R., not so much. Not a DMB fan either.

@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: Only when I got requests to play them on the radio. I hadn't even heard of them until I went to college.

@spinachdip: There's something against attacks on selective activism. Just because there are conflicts everywhere, it doesn't mean that we should just throw up our hands when people focus on a particular cause. Perhaps these people were personally touched by a particular person's story or had some sort of other…

@Sculptor?!?I_just_met_her!: @44 in a Row: Well, I think purchasing all the Vonnegut books was great, regardless. That's going to be worth it no matter what.

@TracyHamandEggs!: I have a great picture of a guy with an American Flag Scimitar on the back of his pickup truck. It was amazingly confusing for my friends and me.

@Colonel Dubby: Orson Welles agrees:

Finished Infinite Jest Sunday night. It was totally worth spending all that time. Will, if you survive the first 100 pages, the rest of it is pretty much cake.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Thanks for that. Hilarious.

You have selected...POWER DRIVE.

I just had to finish "Infinite Jest" last night after hearing the news. And then I had to reread the beginning so I had an idea of the actual end...

@Yostal: "It's very similar to what the Nazis used."

I think this is the most apropos Critic clip:
