That was great to watch. I'm excited to root for this guy.

Wait, you could "deliver a penetrating through-ball." Or "find the back of the ol' onion bag." Or "schedule a friendly." Aw, dammit you're right--it does suck.

I always liked Stevie, but I see how this was inevitable. I hope he does well in San Fran and that conditional pick turns into a third rounder for the Bills.

So we're talking about eighths of inches now in height? Is it me or does it seem unnecessary to say one guy is a slice of cheese taller than another guy?

I would do anything for love, but I won't do scat.

Gug's not around? What happened to him? His wife is super hot by the way.

It has nothing to do with the issue of free speech. He spoke and he's still free. The NBA is also free and they said we don't want to be affiliated with you anymore. It's not about free speech--it's about biting the hand that feeds you. You can call your boss a dick if you want to. You have that freedom. But when he fires you for it, don't say free speech is dead.

Free speech isn't dead at all. Free speech never meant you could say whatever you want and nobody can get upset about it.

I agree. This is not even a free speech issue. It’s a “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” issue. I have zero sympathy for a jackass who pisses away a good thing and is still left standing as a free and wealthy man.

Maybe it taught you how to swim, but it certainly didn't teach you to stop crying.

We occasionally get green anoles here on our patio in Georgia. I like seeing them. Lizards fascinate me. I do what I can to keep our cat away from them.

I don't know the answer, but I'm gonna pretend it's this: The town is named for a sort of ad hoc method of informal birth control utilized by the early colonists of that area who were Puritanical about such things, but—as humans will be human—could not help themselves from indulging in a bit of the covert “short pump” in the hopes that a shallow penetration would decrease the chances of unwanted pregnancy.

I can't tell you with certainty that this is not a good omen, so I think the right thing to do is to say YES, it clearly indicates that the Bills will win the AFC East and go deep into the playoffs.

It took me about a season and a half to figure out who the Joffrey actor reminded me of. Then it hit me: Robin Colcord from Cheers. All the mannerisms are the same. It's uncanny. But anyway, how satisfying was it to see Joffrey choke to death? I really enjoyed that very much.

I loved this movie. Kind of a masterpiece in my opinion. I think of all Wes Anderson's movies, this one may be the best. All of his stylistic signatures are there and it looks amazing. And, more importantly, it all comes together to tell the story in a very entertaining way. I think that in some of this other movies, his familiar tricks have become a little distracting at times. But not this time. I think this movie hits all the right notes. And Ralph Fiennes' performance was amazing.

A favorite of mine that I've seen a couple times is Shewanna. My daughter's name is Zuzu. We get some strange looks from people about that, so I'm gonna hold off on punching anyone in the face.

I'm interested in the Built to Spill and the Cure/Dino Jr. "Just Like Heaven" thing. Also, Of Montreal has a couple things I'll look for too.

I think Colbert will do well. Good choice. He knows funny and will breath new life into a stale format.

I’ll probably never get as much enjoyment from a band as I did when I was young with Led Zeppelin, the Stones and Beatles when I was first discovering all those great songs and albums. But in my later indie band phase, I’ve had a lot of fun with Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Butthole Surfers, Flaming Lips, Silver Jews, Sonic Youth, Guided by Voices, Built to Spill, early Modest Mouse, Meat Puppets.

I'm a soccer fan, but I can't defend this. They look like idiots.

" u guys nothing to back up yur claims, notta, zip"

Goddammit, what the !@#$ is wrong with some people?

Oh, good. I was afraid no one was going to reply in here.

That was a fun one. 2-2 final. USA dominated the first half, then got soft in the second. Should have had the 3-2 win, but the winning goal was disallowed by a truly awful offside call. They were absolutely robbed on that. The no call on the trip of Julian Green on the edge of the penalty box shortly after was almost as bad. Michael Bradley was the best player on the field. Please let him stay healthy throughout this summer. He's unquestionably the most important part of the USMNT at this point. Donovan came on in the second half and looked out of shape. This is troubling. I hope he gets his legs back soon because his playmaking will be needed. Omar Gonzalez looked like a chump in too many instances. I'm thinking Clarence Goodson could steal that spot from him next to Besler in the back. The outside back positions remain unclear. Beltran looked awful on the right and Parkhurst was only slightly better on the other side. Beckerman continued to make a strong case for being Bradley's partner in the middle of the field. He's such a good stopper--it really allows Bradley to shine as the point guard of the attack. Dempsey looked good. Wondo(*w)lowski got yet another goal. I don't know this guy's secret. I don't think he has the skills to do well against top competition, but he keeps scoring. I don't get it. I think he will be on the plane to Brazil. Julian Green looked green. He had the one good move late that should have earned a free kick just outside the box. Overall, I like his energy, but he looked clumsy and/or nervous most of the time.

Wed. 4/2 at 10pm ET, on ESPN2. I think this will be a good one. It's getting down to the wire for WC preparations.
