Journalistic style guides usually recommend using “innocent” rather than “not guilty” because the “not” could be easily lost during the writing / editing process. “Innocent” is not as precise as “not guilty,” but a typo with “innocent” is less likely to confuse / mislead readers or get a publication sued.

Patty Mills? From The Half-Court Trap, that movie where he has to get Gregg Popovich and Steve Kerr back together again? Man, I love that movie.

The run scored on an RBI groundout. It would have been an RBI fielder’s choice if he’d thrown out the runner behind him going to third.

Unless you believe, as some (many?) historians do, that Nixon tried to scupper LBJ’s potential peace negotiations in 1968 so HHH wouldn’t get the benefit of the Democrats getting the US out of VietNam.

The quote is usually attributed to Samuel Johnson, but I prefer Ambrose Bierce’s version in The Devil’s Dictionary: “In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer, I beg to submit that it is the first.”

Tomorrow is another day.

$10 every day? What kind of nonsense are you pushing? In my day, it was $10 a week, and I liked it! I could buy food from at least — at least! —two of the food groups,* and I even had money left over to buy penny candy afterwards.**

My wife and I would probably still have the ‘92 Corolla she owned before we were married, if only I could have fit into the driver’s seat in such a way that I could operate the pedals.

Such an immodest guy. My intervention today kept the Earth from slamming into the sun, and you don’t hear me say one word about it, even though it was the greatest thing anyone’s ever done.

Part of me says Jonny Quest, who is at best a teenager, running around with a pistol (and his best friend toting a machine gun), is a horrible idea.

Is ... is mentioning the Bengals / Browns game verboten? Or is it left out of the throwgasm list because it’s a Thursday game?

I spotted the face! Is there a prize?

Only eight of the runs were charged to Buehrle, and all of them were unearned. (The Jays made two errors in the short time he was on the mound.) Not that it matters, I suppose, other than out of a nitpicky sense of accuracy.

It’s just evidence that he hasn’t changed his “Word a Day” calendar in more than a week.

To be fair, I think Ant-Man can tell ants what to do in general, not just what they can or can’t do in regards to you.

Saluki strut!

Hey! My dad calls meringue “calf slobbers” too. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else use that term, though.

Well, I'd been wishing Peter Dinklage would get more roles in high-profile movies.

I find it interesting that no one decided the New Madrid Fault, a potential disaster in the making, was worth using. Not enough people to fall into cracks in the earth, I suppose.
