On the other hand, the way the Yankees fans are reacting to the Sox winning is just laughably fun. Go Sox.

Come on.

Or in the upper deck of any baseball stadium.

My fake address of choice is 1958 Disney Drive, Milwaukee WI 53210. See? I’ve had this memorized for years; the zip code is even a real Milwaukee zip.

Even when you’re using the top burners, if you have a cutting board to hold the still hot burner grates, you can use a cheap plastic putty knife to scrape off the major crap build-up off your stove top before it dries or hardens. Once it hardens, you’re on your own, and at the mercy of many of these chemicals-the…

True, I could do that, but books that I buy become sacred to me (my wife hated when I used that word to her once), so every five years or ten years or so when I want to reread Lord of Light again*, it’s there on the shelf where I left it.

I wonder how we’d quantify a ego battle between Jimmy Butler and this corrosive ass.

The 1942 Boston College team getting their asses handed to them them by Holy Cross is the fact that actually saved their lives that night. The Coconut Grove Restaurant had been booked for a celebration because the team was expected to get invited to the Sugar Bowl that year but by losing, the football team and the…

I’m aware of the thirty year gap, but I still haven’t found the latest one in paperback yet. Saving money, I’ve found these all in used books stores, so I’m at the mercy of others who bought the paperback and then sold it off.

The millionaires don’t generally mix with the rest of us, so if we can run across them in a place like this, and share the pain and discomfort they’ve given us like this is okay with me. Like Bush in a grocery store, Mitch, wizened old bastard that he is, needs to know that it’s not all theoretical bullshit, but…

After the first season of The Expanse, I was so blown away by what I saw (and heard discussed on IO9) that I haunted used book stores until I found everything I needed to catch up with the books. That was well worth it. Now I’ve watched Altered Carbon twice, and I’m looking around for those next.

Do we just wait for him to drop? Harlan Ellison’s been dead for months now, and no one has asked when The Last Dangerous Visions is coming out. Am I the last person even curious if the fucker will ever still get published?

August 1st was the 17th anniversary of Korey Stringer’s death. He died in a hospital in Mankato Minnesota after collapsing on the practice field. If you sip your water all the time, you won’t get that sloshing feeling in your gut that you get when you try to down a bottle of water in one go.

We don’t know that what this bank is anywhere close to her entire fortune. That’s the thing about the extremely rich- their resources are scattered about. After all, she was raised somewhere else, and she’s in Australia now.

I hear Verlander is really on board with a tight bottom.

I’m fascinated by the Sox’ ability to come up with a theme for the season- they had ‘Cowboy Up’ in 2003 and 2004, and now the team is the embodiment of this year’s t-shirt phrase ‘Do Damage’. They are a really tightly knitted clubhouse, and it shows in how they play.

Hey, I love that Dirty Water! Woah, Boston, it’s my home.

Looks like in a few years I’ll be able to privately finance a private wing on the lunar orbital space station they want to build

Apartment Patty looks like an extra from either version of V, mid-gerbil. Maybe the memory of that is why his husband does live there any more.

Maybe the Ref was black. Marshall Cottage-Cheese-Thighs might have thought that the Ref and the parent were ganging up on the kid.
