Heres some more background. The band was at neither the Patriot league semifinal nor the final. Their attendance has indeed been spotty at not only basketball, which in my limited experience, they didn’t attend, but also hockey and even football where they, in years past, were more reliably present. Weather during…

I'm glad to come on here and see some other people have a sane, rational view of this happening. It happens to lots of people, and those people don't even get to GO to the Olympics in the first place. No doubt we all feel bad for Jordyn, but she made a couple small mistakes, and if she hadn't made them, she'd be in.

Swimming really does suck. No blame from me to Phelps for dogging practices in the last pre-Olympics interval. He's done enough, and the medals he gets should still be just as satisfying.

Well it is Cali where rain is illegal, but your thought was the first that crossed my mind too. Beer probably helps strengthen those trellises.

Who says American ingenuity is dead? Ben Franklin is proud.

So does this mean I can get angry and/or pull my car partially over the dotted white lines here in New York? And I don't have to read self-righteous biker-talk afterward?

Congrats on having a dad who can provide you a job....

I've been to Cincinnati once- a weekend for a wedding- and the only line I heard consistently was "if you want to have fun, go across the river to Kentucky." Guess so.

Jesus. Ken Starr writes shorter analysis.

You know what? Good for them. I don't begrudge Niklaus his award, but I'm glad at least these no votes have a genuine and legitimate reason.

I almost feel worse for the guy that did the backing up. I would feel absolutely awful if I damaged somebody's lovechild. Er, car.

It was my understanding that it is possible the pilots thought that the maximum input on the stick would not cause a stall because the systems would prevent that, with the problem being that the system was off and they were unaware. Again, unclear how the system works to a pilot dealing with an emergency, and it…

Keep in mind that it's electronic systems whose complexity and/or operation are veiled and unclear to the operator that was at least partly responsible for the Air France crash a couple years ago. Smaller scale here, but same lesson to be learned.

I got as far as the part with the swearing....

US- !

Still not buying that this guy is as good as his letter would make him out to be....

Anyone who says they don't wish John Hindhaugh was their uncle is lying. Imagine that guy at cookouts and family reunions, he'd be incredible.

I always wanted a game where I could pop a collar and drive my Gumpert up to a rave.

Not that I'd recommend Drew read this book to his kids due to the repetition rule, but the Wuggie Norple Story still makes me laugh to this day.

Do I still have that book and read it occasionally? Yes, I do. OH MAN, WHAT IS THAT FUNKY SMELL?!
