I remember watching the end for my Utah Jazz. People wrote them off every year and they would rise up, like when everyone expected the up-and-coming Shaq and Kobe Lakers to send the Jazz to the grave in the Western Conference Finals in 1998, and the Jazz smacked them down in a sweep.

I usually only hang around these parts to make dumb (and very bad) jokes, but I need to thank you for this article, Albert. For years I've been trying to convince people that Tony Parker has every bit the impact on winning games that the more celebrated, stat-stuffing point guards such as Curry, Paul, Westbrook,…

I have also used Carmex (and other lip balms) on my dry/cracked elbows in a pinch. Works like a charm! Also......dry cuticles, small cuts when healing and drying out.

Fever-blisters are the bane of my existance. I don't get them often but when I do, I reach for that yellow tube!

I can only assume that everyone that recommends something other than Carmex either has some type of allergic reaction to fantastic-ness or is a communist.

I'm particularly prone to chapped lips, and Carmex is a miracle worker come winter. It smells a little funky, but the speed at which it works for me is unbeatable.

I do not carry lip balm. I don't use it regularly and I lose it. This is the stuff mom gave me when I came to her crying once a month because my lips were excruciatingly chapped. This stuff does the trick in one or two applications. Other stuff works fine, and this doesn't have sunblock properties I'm aware of, but…

This is greasy but the best. The pharmacist recommended it when I took accutane and my lips were falling off. I've also been informed the medics in the military give it out for severely dryed/ chapped lips.

Its the best. I'm a trumpeter and have used it for years. The original jar is a classic but it comes in tubes and sticks as well. Also available in different flavors.

Totally agree. When I get chapped lips, other lip balms feel like they are just coating my lips, but not really healing. Carmex definitely heals. I don't think I'd want to use it as an everyday balm (but I don't constantly use lip balms like some people) but it's my quick fix whenever my lips start to get a bit dry.

CARMEX IS MY ADDICTION. Although, lately I've been alternating between this and the version of Carmex that comes in a squeezable tube...and I've noticed that the stick version has that annoying, bitter waxy taste some lip balms have, where if you accidentally get it on the inside of your mouth/tongue, it drives you…

Okay, I've been dying to share this story, but as it's not food/dining related, I can't submit it to the column. But I figure some people around here will get a kick out of it anyway.

This is one of the more accurate articles I've read in a while (no shade to other articles, this one just rings like 99% true). I find the two biggest perks of being a Jack are knowing how to learn (I learned French as a kid, and learned C++, now I know how to learn a foreign language and how to program in most…

My parents told me all the right things regarding sex, money, relationships, etc. The problem was I never saw it being practiced. It's not enough that you tell your children advice but a parent must teach through example.

<gasp> You mean she eats those horrible, unnatural orange carrots just because she's used them? Along with spliced apples, mutant oranges, and banana clones?

This is how I feel about this article.

Counterpoint: Milk is delicious.

I'm guessing she was a Tressel fan, even Pryor to the tattoo.

Nope. If the mountain is onMY property, it's MY mountain and he better get the fuck off it, I don't care what his name is.
