The Czech Republic

Nobody would come to you asking which Zeppelin album to buy.

AHHHHH It's not like Ben Gordon just showed up a month or so ago to coast into the playoffs. He was just as big of a cornerstone in Chicago's overdue resurgence as Curry, Chandler, Hinrich, and Scott Skiles himself. His contributions through the season undeniably made the difference between a 4 seed and Shameful Post-MJ Losing Season #7. And he did it all AS A ROOKIE. "Okafor had more rebounds and assists." So what? "Coaches plan to face Okafor, and not Gordon." Again, so what? That's not Gordon's fault. That's the fault of the coaches drawing up the gameplan. Ben Gordon was a major player in elevating the Bulls from the middle-to-bottom of the East to third in the East because he scored points and won games. Emeka Okafor was a major player in the Charlotte Bobcats winning more than nine games. What matters in the end?

So then what's more important? Going from struggling for the Heat-Fodder Slot to home-court advantage, or going from really really bad to just really bad? Czech, what does Ben Gordon have going for him besides the Bulls' Win/Loss record? Points, a trivial stat if ever there was one.

The DMV sells its database contents to telemarketers for calling lists, so I hear. Man, are they just involving themselves in every facet of national uselessness or what.

For the record, when the sun eventually does run out of fuel and explodes, it'll actually increase in size for a while first, probably enough to reach Mars' orbit. So we don't have to worry about freezing to death. I hope the end of the world is like Safer Sephiroth's "Supernova" spell. Also, I hope "One Winged Angel" plays.

1. All three eponymous albums, the untitled album, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti would be justified as recommendations to a first-time buyer, 2. No kid of mine, or any, is going to ask for advice on Foo Fighters albums.

The C Man's claim to fame will forever be divulging that he had a gay encounter with a friend, and somebody replied that "his friend must like C Men."

I can't be racist. I'm from a blue state.

Atlantic City must've no sold all those earthquakes and tidal waves.

Maybe redbaron is of the Incandenza school of punctuation.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't. My problem is his fanbase that passes it off as legitimate science. A tobacco study by Philip Morris would have been more damning, but they can't really get away with shit like that anymore, and also, "lard" is a cool word.

Is saying shut up your new gimmick? The crowd pops, what can I say

Yes. And clearly, he did. I don't see what's so bad about being a mark for yourself, really. If you don't believe your own hype, you won't make it. This goes for wrestling, and elsewhere. You don't get to the top by selling yourself short.

Actually I really liked the Rocket Man clip. The longest tangents are always the best. See also: chicken gave me a bad coupon. The Rhode Island musical number was pretty bad, I don't think the Road To Europe one was a great deal better.

I wish it was an environmental McMuffin. Mmm. McMuffins.

Teach evolution in biology class and creationism in world history. That's what my high school did.

This is too good.

Something involving a tax refund scandal I think? Personally, I think he could very well have been innocent, and the fact that the judge was practically jacking it over getting to sentence a public official, saying how exhilarating it would be to give him a maximum sentence to prove a point, sort of muddies the water a little. I had R. Budd in my sig until somebody conceived an Invision Forum dedicated to bitchslapping me. Ah, simpler times.

Give him some credit: at least he didn't make the guy he wanted to e-bitchslap a moderator on his forum oh wait

SO SEZ YOU!

Au contraire, I am civil with Cardinals fans and never let it go beyond good-natured ribbing. Their fans know the sport well and are not total assholes. I have to hand it to La Russa and the Pujols-Edmonds-Rolen triumvirate for their domination of the National League last year. HOWEVAH! I have not yet met a Houston Astros fan in person, but I feel like if I did, they would be the most annoying, smug, cocky, loudmouthed pricks in all of baseball's fanbase, excluding a certain pair of teams in a certain pair of cities on a certain part of the I-95 corridor.

So then what's more important? Going from struggling for the Heat-Fodder Slot to home-court advantage, or going from really really bad to just really bad?

Who could imagine that they would freak out somewhere in Kansas . . . (Kansas . . . Kansas . . . Kansas . . . Kansas . . . ) (Kansas, Kansas, do-do-dun to-to Kansas, Kansas, la la la) (Kansas, Kansas, do-do-dun to-to Kansas, Kansas) But seriously. Just teach them both as theory, because we could never fuckin' know. It's that easy. Fundies and atheists, STFU.

Way to go.. you voted for the one British party that was more for the Iraq War than Labour. A shame the rest of the people against Blair will vote for the LibDems I saw a video where John Cleese endorsed the Liberal Democrats, so I like them.

How about we curb our enthusiasm
