Thank you. I just had it stuffed.

I like the re-line. I loved that movie. I watched it again on that choppy crappy feed that ESPN calls video. Awesome play. He'd look good in Mariner blue. Sadly, he has the stigma of having lived in Corvalis and so he'll end up in AAA.

In other news, Peter Gammons just had a brain aneurysm.

Why do some men tuck their ties into their pants?

the first time I saw that was in London (not Ontario- England). Maybe it's a british thing- and the very wearing of ties can't be subject to the "why" standard, so variations are far removed.

The only person I've seen doing this who I can be sure was doing it intentionally was a Brit as well. Maybe so it doesn't dangle when you lean over to pour the clotted cream in your tea? It's not a bad idea.

Okay... Hank or whoever it was is going to hate this, but one does not pour clotted cream (which is essentially butter-like, but more delicious). Nor does one put clotted cream in tea.

Well, well, well. I guess we all know for sure now who's a real, red-blooded, down-to-earth fella who wouldn't know clotted cream from blancmange and who's a tie-in-the-pants tea-cozy stroking Eurofag, don't we?

By the way, is anyone else simply bursting with anticipation over the impending replay of the 1998 final and the opportunity for Zinedine Zidane to answer his critics on the pitch? I can barely contain myself!

Way to shut him up boy!
Hey I'm making chili for lunch. You take low-tar tobacco in it, right? Or can I use the real stuff?

When I glanced at your post and saw these words, I thought it was going to be about Zinfandel.

Perhaps a bottle of rose, instead.

Apropos of nothing, I could go for a nice glass of Mateus.

Some of my best friends inspect poultry for gender

I worked in a frozen poultry warehouse for a while. Summer job before college. They called me "the Lush," and used to sshrink wrap me to poles in the deep freezer (30 below). Fistfights for fun. Crazy supervisor used to come up and punch you in the face an run away. You'd have tio track him down amongst pallets of frozen food and do the same to him. I think he was mildly retarded.

That job still beat law.
This sounds like it belongs in a good novel I just read -- "Apathy and other small victories" by Paul Neilan. It has SD written all over it.

Not that it would have mattered on this goal, but can we get the rules changed, such that an attacking player is onside unless there is clear separation between him and the last defender back? This "tiny bit of overlap = offside" is a bad rule. Thierry was minimally offside five times in the first half.

Maybe such a rule would get teams to try to stop trapping, and play some good hard defense.

eta: the opposite of "hard" in this context is A-Rod.
