Courtney Cox and David Arquette have a girl. They named her Coco. At least his last name isn't Crisp. Or Chanel.

What's up with the foods as a name trend? that's just as stupid as Gwenyth's daughter's name "Apple"...

Celebs think it's cute.
Jillian Anderson named her kid Piper Maru, and Erykah Badu named her kid 7. Yes, just like the Seinfeld episode.

I link for you "Baby's named a bad bad thing" Where you'll find such lovelies as Sharmonica, Maxigan and Attica.

this is what the official Bill and hillary Portraits look like

Using some creative license, artist Simmie Knox paints President Clinton getting a blowjob from his former senior advisor Sidney Blumenthal, instead of former intern Monica Lewinsky

Reggie Miller has one of the ugliest jump shots I've ever seen. He just makes a good percentage of them.

Can I go with Jimmy Chitwood?

I don't know, the ball is always rotating so perfectly when he finishes his follow-thru. Personally, I like his shot.

Wow! It's hard to believe you're actually back after all this time and actually posting for real. We missed you, man. I don't have to tell you I'm a really really big fan of your early, funny work.

You know what would be really cool? If you posted some kind of a trivia quiz to see who's really down with your inimitable oldskool realdeal hardcore realness from back in the day! That would totally rock!

ETA: Scroll then post, LOL!!!

Of course the "best spiral/passing" in football was omitted. I'd give it to Peyton.

I saw a new innovation last night. the urinal guards had a black square on them. The heat of urine caused it to go clear, revealing Beat LA. The cool of the flush turned it back so the next guy can be surprised.

I'm sure they've been used in bars etc., but I'd never seen one.

I was there and didn't see it. I think my view was blocked.

Sincerely,

He had the ability to be extremely poignant one minute and a classic race-baiter the next. Luckily, his writing was effective enough to overshadow the race crutch he always seemed to lean on.

I agree. He will be missed. He had the ability to make me energetically agree with him and forcefully disagree with him all in the same article. That's a sign of good journalism. Most of the Page 2 guys bore me to death.

I wouldn't call him a race-baiter and I don't think he used race as a crutch. He clearly had opinions and I think he saw issues where some of us wouldn't. I also think he was brave enough to point at race when it was an issue and no one else had the balls to do so.

But, I didn't think he was a very good writer. However, he did make you think. And I think he really loved what he did. I took issue with a whole helluva lot of things he said. But I respected him.

One story. He wrote an article compiling the best comeback lines he had heard and asked people to send some in. I missed the deadline, but sent him an email a few days after he posted the story on page2. It said:

'I've got a great one for you:

"You need an editor."'

He responded with:

'Good one, [Thurgreed]. But, don't we all?
(You easily made the cut for Anti-Trash III with this line)
RW'

He outdid me.

He didn't try to come back harder. He didn't try to come back funnier (although that wouldn't have been hard). He took it in the spirit it was intended (after all, the article was about talkin' shit), and privately made me look silly by telling me he'd include it in his next article on the topic. Nicely done.

We exchanged a couple of short emails after that -- nothing of note. But he earned my respect for, among other things, not getting all defensive and self-important. That's a quality I can't say I have.

So, I'm sorry to see him gone. May he rest in peace.

He was indeed very thought provoking, even though I disagreed with him most of the time. I did think, however, that his column was misplaced on Page 2, as when I think of Page 2 I think of the Sports Guy, goofy polls and cartoons and generally irreverent humor. Didn't really fit there.

can I get the army to send some hot guy with me, strapped to my back? how much does it cost?

I would have (woulda coulda shoulda) posted this on politics but I wanted the trifecta hat trick.
