In eleventh grade, I had not yet had sex with anyone of any gender. But I don't think I'd kissed a girl yet. I had definitely kissed a boy by then.

And since then?

I can understand that feeling. I read "Donovan [whatever]" as Michael Landon when I was scrolling and was almost interested, but then realized my error.

This is like watching Court TV.

What? But we don't know what happens yet! It's like a cliffhanger before the commercial, a really good one that keeps you from getting up to go grab a bag of chips.

Would you prefer more soccer posts?

Indeed. AoN, usually the lawyers come across worse than the witnesses in videotaped depositions.

Do you ever think to yourself, "Wow, Thurgreed, you could take the portion of your brain that you use to follow Rosie O'Donnell and devote it to something timeless, like mastering the Aenied or memorizing odd words for Scrabble, something more like to be of use when you're hanging out in the cafeteria at the old folks home in fifty years?"

FWIW, I frequently have this sort of thought, though not about Rosie O'Donnell, and I don't call myself Thurgreed.

Your epic author is making the rounds.

Really? I have no idea about the pace of your "Court TV" programs, because I devote the portion of my brain that might otherwise be used to evaluate the relative quality of cable television shows to mastering the Aenied, and occasionally memorizing odd words for Scrabble.

Anything Ironweed wants to talk about is fine with me.

Adder: Is that a yes?

rp: Not really.

Adder: Is that a no?

rp: Not quite.

Are you asking me out?

Well, I heard you like to suck it.

This is the Pele to New York Cosmos saga redux. Paying silly money for a player on the downslope of his career -- but with huge name recognition -- in the hope that Americans will start taking American soccer a bit more seriously.

Then again, the MLS has seemed fairly realistic about growing a league over the last 10 years or so and it won't all just disappear when Beckham retires.

LA has been that couple's spiritual home for years anyway.

FWIW, I think that despite the stumble at the beginning of the franchise, the Houston Dynamo did rather well in it's opening year. Course, we have a huge hispanic population, but still.
