As a writer and a roller derby referee for a fairly well-ranked WFTDA league, I completely endorse this idea. Plus, the skating is a whole hell of a lot of fun, to say nothing of the afterparties!

My choice for best neighbor ever? Dexter. He won't play his music loud, he'll keep his lawn trimmed, he'll always be polite to you, and "trouble people" just magically disappear.

I read about this game in You're Okay, It's Just A Bruise by the former Raider team doctor, Rob Huzienga. Pretty frightening stuff if you care at all about your long-term health. Otherwise, just another day at the NFL office in the mid-80's.

December 30th. I've given up on trying get people to party for my birthday, because they're all saving themselves for New Year's Eve, or they've already spent all their money at Christmas.

As a Raiders fan, I can say unequivocally that our team will do its part.

That place is absolutely great.

I was home sick from work today. I did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, did the laundry, mucked out the catboxes for our 3.5 cats and even did some maintenance on my wife's roller skates so she can try out her new wheels at roller derby practice tonight.

What I got from this story is that Destiny may be coming to the PC after all.

The pizza is by far the second-most delicious thing about this picture.

Came here to say this, leaving very satisfied. :)

When reviewing possible scenarios with the ex-fiancee, we came across wedding packages in Lake Tahoe. They could be had for about $1500-2000, included photos of the event, a place to stay, a nice room for a couple hours to hold the ceremony in and had a great view. Food and drink really wasn't that expensive on top…

I think it really should only count for whomever the national champion last year was. If you win the title and when the rankings come out the next year are undefeated, you should be ranked #1. You're the champion until someone knocks you off the perch in the title game, and if you're undefeated the following year,…

I look forward to Ohio State's defeat (again) in the national title game. Considering this is the last year of appointment championship (sort of), this is a very fitting way for the whole thing to go out.

"Can you imagine a game where PC gamers were allowed to play against console gamers? It'd be a slaughter, all thanks to the mouse and keyboard."

Fascist pigs. Damnit, drunk typing! However, I must admit kind of like the idea of chest-thrusting pugs wearing way too many medals. Let's go with that.

I am bringing a box of wine and four Xanax to my parents' Thanksgiving, because although my mother bleats on and on about how the government should pay for everything (and refers to them in the same breath as "fascist pugs"), she has not held a job since the Iran-Contra hearings and "is so proud" of me for having…

This kitten was oversold a bit.

As someone who lives in Sacramento, that makes me want to jump off something tall and land on something pointy.

I am with the teacher. Little smelly cats grow up to be big smelly cats.

I drink a lot of Jameson and don't keep track of the calories (or how many tumlers or what time it is, for that matter). That's how I survive the holidays.
