The NHL tries real hard to make the Winter Classic a must see TV event,but to me the game looks kind of dumb in a huge stadium, maybe it's the various layouts to accommodate the rink but it all feels so forced.

I like his version, too. Now, along with the Yo Gabba Gabba songs, Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" (mostly because of the "HEE hee" and "G'on girl" interjections) and the Clarence Clemons-Jackson Browne chestnut, "You're A Friend Of Mine" (the Clemons-bellowed chorus, really) are on her "repeat" list.

I first heard about it in 2008, where there was actually a site devoted to locating them. Had a family friend bring one from Rocky Point on Long Island (apparently they have a big St. Patty's day parade out there?). Second time found it in 2009 driving from the Mets-Tigers game in Lakeland Florida towards Port St. Lucie. then they started rolling it out more regularly, I guess through popular demand or something. I imagine it'd go really good with some whipped cream vodka, or godiva chocolate liquor.

Cane toads. They've wiped out entire species of snakes, spiders and goannas. Since they are not indigenous to Australia their predators have not adapted to their toxin. So they also have managed to wipe-out some their predators too, and grown to plague proportions. You often hear a "splat" while driving your car in Queensland. Btw, if you want to insult a person from Queensland, call him a "cane toad".

eh, on the whole their pricing is actually pretty fair, not as dramatic as a ShopRite on the weekly specials but on an everyday basis you should do OK there particularly if you can get by on store brand goods. Whereas ShopRite will entice you with dirt-cheap ads but punish you if and when you buy anything at full retail. It all pretty much comes out in the wash $$ wise so I'd suggest you go where you trust the fresh stuff, get the best service and/or/and is most convenient. Hard to compare Trader Joe and Wegmans, they really are apples and oranges.

This morning as I was getting dressed to go to the gym for a workout, I heard my wife shriek and call for me. I figured it was just the usual "giant" spider, but I wasn't so lucky this time. She said she had seen a big snake coming up the stairs of our back deck. When I told her I didn't see any snake now, she told me that she thought it had gone under the gas grill. I woke my son the snake enthusiast, and went to the garage to get a rake. I used the rake to push the grill out of the way and found the snake coiled up beneath where it had been. My son identified it as either a rat snake or Cottonmouth snake. My son prefers to catch and release into the nearby woods any nonvenomous snakes that he may encounter. I, on the other hand, prefer not to get too close and feel that if the snake wanted to live it would have stayed the hell away from my house. Fortunately for this snake, my son was with me, so he had a chance of surviving. Unfortunately for this snake, he turned out to indeed be a venomous cottonmouth snake (confirmed after it's death).

Even if it takes a near-fatal encounter with a snake to do so. Cottonmouths are not to be fucked with. OK so "near-fatal" is probably hyping it a bit but whatthehell I, on the other hand, nearly ran over a snake on this morning's bike ride. Not sure what kind - probably harmless but I didn't hang around to ask him. Dude was sitting right in the middle of my lane on the bike path but, with no one coming the other way, I had the space and time to go around. I also tried to point it out to the jogger I had just passed some 50 ft earlier but I suspect she didn't catch what I was trying to signal. If not she was about to get a big surprise seeing as how she'd be approaching it much slower than I did and without the tires and metal between her and the pavement. I'm taking the fact that the snake was just hanging in the path and didn't seem in a hurry to get to the other side as a sign that there was probably no chicken there.

The thing is that the NBA, even more than the NFL, is such a star-driven sport that any discussion of the Finals going on can't just be limited to the game itself, it has to also be a whole psychological analysis of the players involved and none so more than King James. Will he? Won't he? He can't just win, he has to win while being 'The Man'! Michael & Magic wouldn't have sat out with leg cramps in the 4th quarter! He sucks! He's great! He chokes! He's the MVP!

Yeah, like I said, this one has been "known" for a while although confirmation always remained in 'no comment' limbo. But he did reveal the truth this past weekend apparently and leave it to the NYPost to jump all over it (so to speak) Anderson’s sexual orientation -- and refusal to discuss it -- has been a pop culture punch line for years. 'Out' Magazine took a jab at Cooper in 2007, making him the cover boy of an edition dedicated to “The Glass Closet.” Out, five years ago, called Cooper the No. 2 most influential gay American. Anderson said he wanted to keep his private life private for the sake of his journalism career. Anderson to 'The Daily Beast': “It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something - something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true,” he wrote in an email to the online mag. “The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud. I still consider myself a reserved person and I hope this doesn’t mean an end to a small amount of personal space,” Anderson wrote. “But I do think visibility is important, more important than preserving my reporter’s shield of privacy.”

|
| Frayed Knot Jul 08 2012 09:25 AM Re: Apropos of Nothing in 2012 |
|
|
For the most part these days, helmets are helmets. Bike helmets - as opposed to say football or other sports helmets which are built to withstand multiple small impacts - are designed to absorb and protect against a single and potentially high-speed fall. If a bike helmet takes the impact of one of those it should be replaced. But while they used to be heavy, hot, uncomfortable and ugly, now there's no reason not to wear one because anything made recently is likely none of the above. What you're paying for as prices get higher - and Lord they do get higher - is for super-light with super-cooling vents as opposed to merely light and cool. But super-light really only matters if you're racing or riding long distances and I'd defy most riders to discern the difference even under those conditions. So mainly what you should do is make sure you get a good fit. There are usually two or three general sizes with pads of varying thickness that stick inside the helmet so you can fine-tune the exact size. Then just adjust the straps to where the fit is snug since without the proper fit the helmet could shift during a fall and not protect your coconut at all. Maybe the guy at your local shop has a particular brand favorite but I think you're just splitting hairs at some point. If it fits, doesn't feel like a weight, and looks semi-cool you should be good to go.

What he said. If you pay more than 40 bucks, you're probably paying for something that looks cool rather than any extra protection.

I had a long drive to and from Detroit for an assignment yesterday, so I decided to listen to U2's "No Line on the Horizon." I'd earlier declared to friends that I thought the album sucked -- and I like U2 -- and that the five-star rating that Rolling Stone gave it shows that Rolling Stone also sucks and it would give U2 five starts for anything.

You wouldn't believe it, mate .... on Sunday I went swimming at the beach (wearing a 3/4 wettie, admittedly). But that was the first time I ever went swimming outdoors in July in Sydney.

That sleepy stuff doesn't really affect me. (conversely, caffeine doesn't keep me up) I've tried Benadryl and Advil Cold and Sinus. So diphenhydramine and Pseudoephedrine and neither has had much effect. maybe the antihistimine in dimetapp is the way to go.

I tend to use over the counter stuff from CVS, depending on my specific symptoms. But one thing that's safe at work is hot lemonade - you can put a mug of it in the microwave. It's soothing and has aromatherapeutic properties (and, at very worst, it can't hurt anything). Feel better!

If you like the stuff, there's plenty of good timekilling there (replays of playoff games and Hard Knocks), plus-- for my money-- the best pre- and post-game review shows on the air.

I switched from Time Warner to FIOS a few years ago, and one of the primary reasons was to get these two channels. I don't watch much of the NFL Network itself, but I'd compare their level of coverage to what the MLB channel does. The primary benefit is that you get those Thursday night prime time games. Moreso this year, since they have a game scheduled every week on Thursday for the first time. And the NFL Red Zone channel? Man, it's the best. Six straight hours of NFL coverage, without commercials. It's tough to go back to watching a single game after that. Highly recommended.

I was in the car with MK yesterday, picking up his learner's permit from the driving school (because in NJ you can't just get a learner's permit when you turn 16 - you have to pay a small ransom to a driving school for six hours of "professional" lessons before they'll allow your parents to take you out in the car). I was driving home after our errand (I don't let anyone drive my car because it takes me forever to fix my seat settings once they've been changed, and at my height anyone else who wants to drive my car would have to adjust the settings). On the same one-way street as the driving school, as I was moving over to the left lane to make a turn onto a major road, a car barreled down at me. Luckily I was able to get back into the other lane; I looked at the signs, and confirmed that I was driving the correct way on the one-way street.

Despite the show's immense popularity, the relatively novel idea of a large ensemble cast, and the fact that most of the main players are still alive and still working, 'HIll Street Blues' proved to be a remarkably poor springboard for future success for most of the members of that cast.

I wasn't counting Caruso as I was thinking of the everyday cast, the type who, at the time, were probably knock-around actors getting their first big break but were also still young enough to where they could envision better things after that show ran its course now that they had a gold star on their resume.

The downfall of Armstrong has to be the most undercovered sports story of the year.

Unlike a lot of people I have no brand loyalty and therefore no particular dog in the ongoing fight for global mobile phone market domination, but I absolutely love the ads that were running all over the baseball playoffs poking fun at i-Phone groupies camping out for the newest innovation from their late techo-hero. It perfectly captures the minutia of blind brand loyalty geeks while skewering the idea that they were doing the exact same thing a year or so ago and will likely be winging this new gadget du jour into the river in favor of the next update soon enough as well.

Samsung, specifically the Galaxy S3. i guess I have brand loyalty, since that's my phone, upgraded from the S1. (was I allowed to skip the S2? Do I lose street cred for not being incremental?) Of course, I have Verizon which insists on not releasing updates in any sort of timely manner to make full use of the phone. Those commercials are funny. It's a neat way to advertise the features of the phone too.(not that I ever use the S-Beam) They've been running variations of them for a while I think. I'm amused that it's come down to the two companies suing each other now too.

To be fair, the Planet was bought by a media comglomerate in the comics in the early 1970s, so from 1970 through 1986 Clark Kent was a news anchor for WGBS and during the last 5 or so years of that run his co-anchor was Lana Lang! Lois was still as hard boiled as ever with the Planet during these years. It took a major reboot of the character to make him a newspaper man again in 1986. And interestingly enough, this is pretty much the first time since the 1970s that DC has shied away from the fantasy of a venerable newspaper thriving in modern times where dailies are ceasing production left and right.

From Politico:
When did verbs decide to move in so aggressively on noun territory? Was it when people on Facebook started making an ask for a "recommend"? Or is it payback for "impact" taking on resonance as a verb (something my father scoffed at -- or gave a scoff -- thirty or so years ago)? OTOH, I hear the rides at Christieland are amazing.

There's a romanticism in the medieval monarchy stuff. Castles, kings, successions. These things make great stories, and we don't really have any of our own history along those lines (or, this IS our history, depending how you look at it). Of course, that doesn't mean we have to obsess over the current crop of them, but that's celebrity culture these days. It's not much different than say Paris Hilton or the Kardashians. famous because they're famous. The media has gotten it, although the people haven't. If you talk about it/them, they're famous. Look at all these shows lately. Honey boo boo, hillbilly hand fishing, etc. They're on tv, therefore they are talked about, despite there being absolutely nothing special about them. In a way, it's the same for things like Orange County Choppers and Ace of Cakes. Does Duff on Ace of Cakes actually do something different than many other high-end bakeries around the country? Wouldn't other bakeries gladly make huge creative sculptures of cakes if they were on TV and someone was paying them to do so? Ha, this rant got a little long. I feel like we're going more towards a society who's opinion isn't formed based on what the news and media tell us, but we haven't quite gotten there yet.

Was reviewing UMDB memories this morning, and was surprised at how many posts there were for Doc Medich that were plugs for Parisian escort services. Did somebody figure that visitors and residents who are in Paris and are looking to hook up with a hooker are going to start the process by Googling "Doc Medich"?

I liked this comment about Jason Phillips:
"Now, I've seen the occasional three legged mastiff run the bases slower, and certainly your typical garden slug is going to have a hard time out there, but when it comes to homo erectus... "

Got 17, and of the 8 I missed I only really would have gotten 1-2 more even with another hour to ponder.

14... and I missed at least two not-so-tough ones (including one with sports teams). Guh.

You only got one more than me. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Missed a city I lived in for 2 weeks.

I am a little. I've always been pretty bad with geographical stuff though.

tough, and embarrassing. Would've been better if I had known I could skip at first though.

since I usually utilize autocomplete in the url, I often end up at Canadian Revenue Agency when I hit enter too fast after CRA

This is precisely why I despise this country. This would never happen in a city in the US > 4 million people. The problem with this country, with my sincerest apologies to Mr Wally Backman, is that there's a proliferation of minor league motherfuckers.

I saw this a few weeks back....awful indeed.....I always find it interesting to read comments in these articles.....a lot of xenophobic comments in there, plenty of people outrage too. Has there been a lot of talk regarding race since the incident?

No, it's conveniently forgotten because our national myth is "Australia cannot possibly be a racist country because it is a multinational country".
