@FavreFAIL: Have you found that you've turned into a total weather wuss? I'm from MN, too, but moved to Southern California for many, many years. I've since moved to the east coast and now cannot tolerate anything that deviates more than 10 degrees away from 70.

@bluebears: I think Forever 21 gets some bad press about its labor practices in large part because it's been targeted by those who want to address the IP issues.

@bluebears: I think most people would be surprised how many labels (both high and low end) rely on garment manufacturers that routinely violate labor laws.

@Mensa: As someone who was born in Minnesota, I am deeply ashamed that we could not come up with something better to be bad at.

I can't wait for all the stories about what winning the SB will mean to each team's local downtrodden economies. This is going to be the blue collariest of all blue collar SBs!

Given that they just made it sound like a rape allegation is what every QB needs to get his career on track, I think Jim and Phil should have stuck with the original plan of not talking about it.

Hey, Sanchez just pulled a Hanie!

@WashingtonForeskins: No, I have a friend who is a Yankees/Patriots fan. He would make a saint stabby.

@Bellwether Johnson: Bourbon and ginger beer (Goya - it's quite good!).

@Gary Oakland Athletics: My guess is that they give up a 2nd rounder for him. And, yes, I know Hanie is a free agent. Zygi just really thinks he's worth a draft pick or two.

Heh. That was the best pass thrown by a Bear all night.

@SavetoFavorites: If we're going by stereotype, my enemy has eaten a ton of sausage by the time he/she gets into the elevator with me. I'll take the friendly Vikings fan, thank you very much.

@Dr. Spaceman, Esq.: Sherlock (the recent BBC version).

@rixatrix has snapped from her tether: Bourbon and ginger beer is also delightful — my drink of choice, in fact.

Fireman Ed was just modifying a technique he learned from Roofer Bob who, after dedicating his mid-summer fall to "lazy people everywhere," noted that "this is how we get on the dole."

@StanSitwell: Highland Park 18 is very, very good but is a bit pricier than what you're paying for the Glenlivet (though still on the more affordable end for good scotch). If you want to keep it less expensive, Highland Park 12 is quite nice.

When Elizabeth posed for ANTM Cycle 16's "Mental Health Issues" photo shoot challenge, she wisely remembered Tyra's instructions to be model suicidal, not suicidal-suicidal.

Poor Sarah. Well, at least none of the horrible things she has suffered lately has shaken her unflinching belief that the world revolves around her.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: He seems to have just about the right amount of scrappy in him.

@EddieSuttons SouthernComfort: And yet, no hobo stories. Go figure.
