Between Shifty's zen koans and all the classic rock, I really need some pot right now.

you finally mention you have a "no headband" rule? and I love Scott Skiles, but my god.
The most ridiculous thing about Headbandgate is that Ben hasn't used the one defense that would help him in the public eye and with the Bulls: "I need to wear it to keep the sweat out of my eyes." That's a perfectly reasonable explanation. What are the Bulls going to say to that?

I protest. I'm pretty sure that what is now viewed as inappropriate is the use of a certain euphemism comparing gay males to tied bundles of twigs or sticks prized for their ease of combustiblity.

For reasons we have discussed via alternate electronic communication means, I disagree.

But to just say "It is what it is" seems meaningless to me. How do you argue with that statement? All thing inherently are what they are, even mirages and illusions.
I see it as a cop out phrase similar to "that's the way it's always been done".

It is a total cop out phrase. I despise it.

"that's the way it's always been done" is not a cop out phrase. it is the basic secret to a sucessful legal career.

Coltrane apologizes.* He thought that with all the physics** talk you do, you would understand.***


*He is sorry
**Physics is a science type thing
***Understand means you get it

You have to take the facts as you find them. And learn to walk before you run.
