I Never Drink Water, Fish F**K In It
I am such a sucker for bottled water, I can't even fucking look myself in the mirror. I buy 36 packs at Costco, tall bottles at gas stations, and gallon jugs at work. I'm fucking addicted to it like it's crack cocaine. About a week ago I told myself I would quit buying it and start drinking tap water, and by that afternoon I had convinced myself that buying it in a flavor format was an acceptable loophole. I've been hanging out at Mom's all day and every drop of water I drank was from a... [more]

Let's see that clip.
I followed my own Dad's footsteps into Meet the Press fandom. Never miss an episode. Although I like Russert I have to admit many times I was frustrated with what I perceived as lack of courage in some of his questioning. I never quite understood his reputation as being so tough. Wonder who his replacement will be? David Gregory?

Amazing map exhibition
That was brilliant. In the comments of the 4 minute Civil War is a link to the same kind of application that shows the European front in World War 2. Don't know if it's any good, going to check it out now. Thanks LM for the links.

Please note: when I freak out and start throwing monitors, staplers, and anything else I can get my hands on, vito90 will save you all.
If you throw a monitor at one of my female coworkers? I WILL fuck you up, take it to the bank.

Nothiing Can Stop The Chuckleberry Handshake
Good times. What made this was the production value. "He's not going to have the answer for the triple decker pecker wrecker."

tkolar, you've no doubt spent more than 6 minutes complaining about the post. You should have just watched it, hated it, and shutted the fuck up.
If that's the case, this post is a fine example of how the "mystery meat" approach can completely torpedo an FPP. For you.

Tell the Truth nigga'
"I Slept Through It" from the Twinemen
"While my head was buried in the sand
A flag got jammed in a foreign land
Now it flies in towers in Baghdad
But I'm too scared to say 'that's not my flag'"
And I still think "Mosh" from Eminem is one of the best.

A much better Johnny Cash comparison would be to "Wanted Man":

Wanted man in Buffalo
Wanted man in Kansas City,
Wanted man in Ohio
Wanted man in Mississippi,
Wanted man in ol' Cheyenne
Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man

"Snoopy would be proud"
A good friend of mine has a beagle that bears no resemblance whatsoever to all the positive descriptions of beagles, and conforms perfectly to the negative ones. My big fear is that the beagle will now become a "must-have" dog for some people who have no business owning that breed. They can be a very, very challenging pet.
I missed the Westminster but an article mentioned a wildly popular Neapolitan Mastiff dog. That's one of my favorite breeds. Could... [more]

Baltimore Cop V.S. the Skateboarder: Farva Looses his Cool
Wow. I have to admit to being really torn on this one. I didn't like that the cop got physical with the kid, and probably shouldn't have taken his skateboard - but as for the lecture and dressing down? I don't have a problem with it.
I'm not anti-skateboarder, and I'm very sympathetic that these kids often don't have a place to skate. I was lucky when I was young, I played basketball, soccer and tennis and there were ample appropriate places to go after school to do... [more]

Rags to stitches
Great story. For some reason I can't link to it but the New York Times has an article today on Michael Vick's dogs and how they are doing in rehab at a no-kill facility in Utah (short answer - pretty damn well). And if I may self promote, this is what I get to spend today doing!

Robot Baseball
I've got the book on this robot. I faced him when he was with Modesto in the California League. He's a good athlete with a great work ethic. His defensive play in centerfield is suspect and long term I see him as a DH or first baseman. He is slow on the basepaths and get picked off a little too often. He has no gap power and is unable to leg singles into doubles and doubles into triples. Zero home run power but could improve if Moore's Law continues to hold up. I project him as a... [more]

Benazir Bhutto Assasinated
Shit. I hope it's a ploy to get her into hiding until the elections. If not and this ends up being confirmed then it's time to stock up on canned goods and bottled water.

Is Vivid going to go out of business?
Interesting post about a fascinating industry. What's most compelling is "big porn's" inability to be the first to capitalize on new technologies. That's not a position they've found themselves in before. I think the problem that Youporn will run into is there is no barrier to entry to being in this market.
What youporn and (my favorite) shufuni.com are doing to Vivid some guy right now who's a sophomore at CalTech is going to do to them next year. That's... [more]

Pass the Falafel...
Ahh. Good link. Reminds me of an old episode of Maury Povich, when he had as his guest a guy who owned a strip club. Maury was ripping the guy for "exploiting" strippers for money. Too bad the strip club owner was a first-rate moron, because the most obvious comeback would have been pointing out the ridiculousness of Maury Povich lecturing someone on exploitation.

Way upthread: "The only chance of legalization is if the big tobacco companies are interested in marketing it. I wouldn't bet 10c on it. "
I would. I'd bet my house that in my lifetime Phillip Morris and RJ Reynolds (I don't even know what iteration they exist in now, still Nabisco?) will have jumped into this market with both feet. Tobacco is dying, the only growth for cigs is overseas, all people are aware or tobacco risks, and their... [more]

Pachinko! (Bring the Noise).
I remember as a kid absolutely loving pachinko parlors - they were the best parts of my trips to Japan. I'd beg and beg my uncles to take me. On more recent trips my uncles, recalling how much I loved them as a youth, would offer to escort me, but all I could stand was five minutes at a time, with the crush of bodies, ceaseless cacophony, and the unbelieveable, incredible volume of thick, acrid cigarette smoke. Thanks for the post, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

Dynamic, articulate, so high he can eat a star
Lupus: There's an Aesop Rock song I found (but I don't have on this machine so don't have the title, sorry) about a little girl who grew up to be a woman who did her own thing and contributed to the world in her own way and then died after a quiet life which was mostly very happy because she'd done what she really wanted. I literally cried -- and I did just now. That sort of thing really means a lot to me.
That's "No Regrets" from Labor Days
