I'm the same way. The speedy stuff gets to me. I made the mistake once of having two Jim Beam and Red Bulls back to back. Next thing I know, it's like 5 am and I'm all Ellen Burstyn in Reqiuem for a Dream.

USA beat Costa Rica last night 1-0 to go undefeated in the group. It was Brek Shea getting the winner late on a great pass from Donovan. They are currently on an eight game winning streak which is a record for the USMNT. Next they face El Salvador in the quarterfinal on Sunday 7/21.

So true, the two have a lot in common: Countless wasted Sundays, a life of penance, the idea that we were created bad and will never see the promised land in this lifetime, Hail Mary's, etc... You could re-write the book of Job as a typical account of being a Bills fan.

Wow, this is a sweet deal. If I didn't already have a FASTPASS that I finagled from blackmailing the Tooth Fairy, I'd be all over this.

I agree. Especially considering that I am most definitely not a winner.

Ha! Thank you. However, my place in the history of that affair is sadly Perry Fewell-like.

Congrats to /dev/null! He became the true final champion yesterday, on the anniversary of the strange wonderful thread he started four years ago. The last post is his and he's the champ. Cheers, /dev! All hail

Basically, it's just a nickname that my Dad and I both like to use for my two year old daughter. It often morphs into Kooky Labanza because that pretty well describes her personality.

Interesting connection: Dr. Hfuhruhurr (Steve Martin) and Ellen DeGeneres both dated Ann Heche, so that might work out well.

Pfff, This is old news. Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr perfected this technique in 1983.

I had to do that too. All the way through senior year. I learned to show up early for gym class to get paired up with a cutie. Show up late and dance with the dregs or possibly even another dude. I hope they offer yoga when my daughter starts school. It's very good for you. I can't belive these ignoramuses finding the dumbest crap possible to complain about. Idiots with lawyers--that's what's gonna do us in for good.

I believe his wife wrote a book about all the changes he made after his playing days. I was not aware it was that extensive. RIP, Black Samurai.

Maybe they have Stupid & Lazy Disease. This is an epidemic that is not getting the attention it deserves. I'm doing my part. Just this weekend I took part in the Biennial 0.25K Fun Walk for Stupid & Lazy Awareness.

I was actually born on Father's Day, so this seems perfectly appropriate to me.

I think that's a pretty cool way of doing it. I wish more people went this route.

Thanks for the info. I'll be recording that game on Thursday. Damn you, Ghana!

God, I hate weddings.

This is what we call a "Poojer Special." Count me out.

Ah, yes, the old "Ha ha, the joke's on you--I'm dead!" short con. A classic.

Sounds like a Raymond Carver story.

Wow, I admire your restraint.

I find all these arguments about ranking legacies tiresome. MJ and Lebron will both go down as among the best to ever play. I'm sure Lebron is not done collecting titles. He has proven, like MJ, that he can make the big shots down the stretch in big games.

Indeed. Just think how lonely it was those early days of the universe when there wasn't anybody around for him to call an idiot.

Wade had 23 points and 10 rebounds last night. For the season, he averaged 21.2 pts., 5.1 assists and 5 rebounds. That's right around the same numbers Pippen was getting during the championship years.
