I have a theory: every week ol' Ricky challenges himself to write something even more inane than last week. His editor, whom is almost certainly Helen Keller, let it through and it gets published. That night, Ricky goes home and says to the wife, "Honey, you'll never believe what those shitcocks let me publish today!"

I'm a Red Sox fan to be sure. But these year-long achievement circle jerks (Rivera's too) want to make me punch a baby in the balls. Both are great players and have done great things for their organization, but I think we might be taking this a little too far.

If the Braves were unsure of whether or not to get there early, would that have been a reservation reservation reservation? (With apologies to Brian Regan)

Hey, I'll do it wherever he lives so long as he's in Mass. He sounds like a bad-ass.

If the corpsman is still in Southie, and you know where he is, I'll buy him a beer for you. (I live there.)

How am I the only one that has liked this quote? Bunch of savages in this town.

Kevin Pollack does a mean Alan Arkin, and also used to call Larry King as Arkin.

Don't diplomats drive/get driven around in cars with consular plates? Kinda makes them easier to find..

What the fuck kind of a name is Kaden?

There's always one of those cars in the parking lot at work. Every time I see it I think, "I should buy it and stick an LSx in it."

Did she put a balm on? If so, who told her to put the balm on? I didn't tell her to put a balm on. Do you even know how a balm works?

I'm a life-long 49ers fan (thanks, Dad!) so I have to take the good with the bad. In general I like the Patriots, but their personnel story is just as sordid as everyone else's. To wit: you can't joke and say "Except Baltimore and Ray Lewis, ha ha" because a Patriot literally is alleged to have killed people.
