Well, then at least it won't be hard to replace. The guitar on the other hand... The uke, I wonder if it's the same one I have. Lanikai LU-21C, concert size. It's a pretty popular model for amateurs like me.

Sorry, that blows. As a fellow guitar and uke owner, I sympathize. The Bible thing surprises me. You wouldn't expect a Christian, even a crooked Christian, to steal a Bible. And a non-Christian wouldn't have any interest. It must have been a very fancy, nicely bound edition.

I was hoping "punching the toddler" was a euphemism for something funny. Alas,...

2015 offseason post of the year! Riveting

That's a truly outstanding headline.

Yeah, I probably should have included her too.

I picked... G. Parsons NY Dolls Ozzy Pixies Replacements Smiths ...but mostly I don't care. The R&R Hall of Fame is about as meaningful as the NFL pro bowl. Edit: I like the Flaming Lips too (if you don't count their last couple albums). I didn't know they were eligible already. I'd also add Pavement, Capt. Beefheart and the Butthole Surfers if it were my personal H of F.

Great stuff in the 50's from Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins & Gerry Mulligan

There's an old joke: uh, two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort [clears his throat], and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know, and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about Nickelback. Awful crappy music, and then they don't even show up.

Ouch, I really hope that's not true. If it is, that will spell the end of my interest in the Orange and all things NCAA. I'm hugely pissed about how unfair all this is to the fans and to current players who get punished for the misdeeds of others that occured when they were in middle school.

I just love 'em both.

Wow!

Well, the game hasn't been played yet, so you still have a chance.

Yeah, she's a beauty. And a super-talented striker. I wish the men's team had goal scorers as prolific as Morgan, Waumbach, Leroux and Lloyd.

The women's US soccer team plays Norway tomorrow at 2pm ET. The game will be on Fox Sports 1. It's the beginning of The Algarve Cup in Portugal. They play Switzerland on Friday and Iceland on Monday. Then, hopefully they'll be in the final on 3/11. That would most likely be against Germany, Brazil or Japan. It's always fun to watch the US Women. This will be a good tune-up ahead of the Women's World Cup this summer.

Tells you everything you need to know about the excessive crankiness in PPP.

Bravo!

I don't mean to sound all old fashioned & ****, but I feel that the range of applicability of the word "exceptional" has perhaps been stretched a bit too much to describe the students of today.

I'll give that little stojan something to cry about.

In 1988, my High School (Webster, NY) B-Ball team lost in the section 5 finals in a very good close game to Bishop Kearney. It came out later that Bishop Kearney showed up in the wrong color uniforms. Webster had an alternate uniform available so the game went on as scheduled. The way I heard it, the Webster coach could have protested and asked for a forfeit, but he declined in the interest of sportsmanship. That’s obviously the classy decision.

RIP I used to love his old show In Search Of...

My first thought was Zelda from Pet Sematary... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n7kFGx2rP4g/TvyvAH6w49I/AAAAAAAAEUo/nTsC6B15QT8/s1600/pet_sematary-16-thumb-572xauto-248134.jpg

Although I've always viewed the red stripe not a result of being shot, but that it's from the buffalo having justed gored its opponent.
