I'm no hockey fan, but the ones I know down here are quite rabid. It's like they're making up for low numbers with increased fanaticism.

It was smart of them to bring her in—that Kia guy has one of the most smackable faces I've ever seen, but they apparently can't convince him not to do the commercials.

No, the gag is for when she's really pissed him off.

That is a stupid question, even for First Take.

She says this as if she's someone that was ever a normal 16-year-old.

I would be a big fan of this—Howie Schwab is a treasure.

Hold on. Is he the purported author of these books?

Me: "Fabio, I'd like you to hold me in a different location."

True, although I think this one is more adaptable than most. I would love to see Dan Simmons' Hyperion and Endymion done, but they would be very difficult to translate to the screen.

Amazing. I had no idea Oswalt moonlights as a book cover model.

Yep, point taken. See my follow-up comment.

Yeah, I realized it was too much of a generalization as I posted, thus the Bachman comment. I guess I'm just advocating for more common sense from our folks in Congress, and I'm seeing a lot more women demonstrating that these days.

As long as they're jumping on board something that's sinking, I'm with you.

I may be reposting, but I can't find my earlier comment.

Exactly what I'm talking about. Fill up Bosh's jersey over the course of a season.

I'm not sure how well it would translate, but I love Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination.

I'd go with the follow-ups, too: Forever Free and Forever Peace.

Cannot agree more. This whole series was mind-blowing. I love Dan Simmons. His books can be bricks, but they are oh-so-worth-it bricks.
