@MidwestCoastBias: "Marvin Jerome Barnes (born July 27, 1952, in Providence, Rhode Island) is a former professional American basketball player."

As soon as group play is over the North Korean team will be welcomed home as champions, celebrated for winning the World Cup faster than any other country. Ever.

do you think the outcome will be accurately represented in the North Korean "news"?

@Jefferson Tardship: the strains of "Opp" is what got him into trouble in the first place

@Jefferson Tardship: where does that leave Jorge Cantu? sounds like he should be included in everything

@SimonSaysBleed: I think the sound created by gimmicky noise makers is exciting and helps to motivate the players.

@dwegmull comments for the purpose of obscurity: but a working, life size Yugo made of solid gold is still a piece of shit.

@Marvin Barnes' Time Machine: episode 2:first day of pre-k, in a predominately black neighborhood in the south, in black face.

My 4 yr old daughter is getting to the point where she can swim without floaties. I am going to document the whole thing. Any buyers? No? Did I mention there will be sharks in the pool? It will be the first of many challenges she endures. The working title is "Drinking Life from a Sippy Cup"

@Juancho: I heard Katie on NPR and was impressed with her. She was trying to raise $ for a charity. Then I lost track and thought this was the same girl. Oh, they couldn't be more different.

It's not the Ghana front you need to watch out for, it's the Ghana rear.

@Sheed's Bald Spot: imagine the problems that would be caused by R. Kelly being anywhere near these kids. Now if he was leaning out of an apartment window a few floors above and had just rehydrated? Justice.

@Brenda Warner's Unemployed Ex-Stylist: who will be the first to dub over D-Hawk's "this is Big 12 football" rant? I'm looking at you 2Mikes

Is it true that Texas will be retroactively awarded the the 2004 and 2005 Pac 10 titles? And Oklahoma will be allowed to move out of Oklahoma? Good for them. But I'm happiest for Baylor. it appears they will not be invited to join the Pac1000, so they will be able to hold onto their rich, Waco-centric identity.

I don't even read a Veyron story unless there's a shallow body of water involved

what about the solar powered scooter with optional wind collection unit?

I'm excited about the Al Davis mode where you just scream random nonsense at the screen and while your taking your nap the janitor drafts your players. (and the janitor hates you)

I'm offended by the use of the word "retarded" to describe this behavior. I work with the mentally challenged and they know they only get sugary sweets AFTER they complete a daily living task. Golden didn't just make his bed or prepare dinner for his house mates!
