Curse the playoffs that are causing me to miss this excellent show! When is this show on regularly? It sounds almost too good to be actually on TV - the trainwreck of Spring 2004, as it were.

On another note, I actually spent time looking on the internet today for the totally fucked up face of Darcy Tucker so I could post my hero's face for you all. Anyone that finds it (as it appeared last night, completely black and blue) will get a special treat from me.

You are correct, sir. See link below:

Too bad Kwame or Bill's teams didn't get this as a project.

Is anyone else having trouble with the "last unread post" feature?

I think we've discussed this before. I'd say 99% of men understand the bathroom spacing rule implicitly. Miss Manners clearly does not. The rule is to take a stall/urinal at lease one over from one that is occupied, unless one is not available meeting this criteria. Other exceptions may override the rule as well - poor drainage, puddles, or the infamous short urinal need not be taken over an empty but adjacent unit. So, contrary to Miss Manners speculation, it does not impact total capacity at all.

If you modest flowers don't like to pee right next to each other, why do you set up your bathrooms so you wing your privates out right out in front of each other?

First of all, speaking of reality TV -- and I have never seen a network reality TV show except for The Mole (but I do watch What Not to Wear and QESG when they're on and I happen to catch them) -- there is a show on tonight on Bravo that I read a review about (it's called ShowBiz Parents or something), which is apparently a train wreck. I mean train wreck in all senses of the phrase, because the reviewer, while decrying the atrocities the parents featured on the show commit against their offspring, said she couldn't keep her eyes off it. I believe she said something like, "If only it were on for six hours...I still could have watched every second." I saw a commercial for it, and was intrigued.

Second of all -- did y'all know that Google has a new thing called "Froogle" where you type in the product you're looking for, and it comes up with retail locations? How freakin' awesome is THAT?!?

Cooter is something you say in Hazzard County. Trim is a nice word.

Page 2 of ESPN ranks baseball team by how much misery they have inflicted on their fans. Pretty interesting stuff.

(And of course, the Yankees are at the bottom of the list.)

A) If I were designing restrooms, there would be larger dividers. But, I suspect every sq ft of restroom is another sq ft of cost.

B) This is really a corollary of the general "maximize personal space" rule - the same one that mandates how people stand in an elevator so as to approximately maximize the ring of personal space surrounding each person. As people get on or off the elevator at various floors, those on the elevator shift postions to account for the lost or gained space.

In a page from reality, can you spot the poor guy?

From the creator of “THE BACHELOR” comes a new reality relationship series, “RICH GUY, POOR GUY.” This time, two charming, handsome, and eligible bachelors will try to find true love from the same group of women. But there's a twist: one guy is filthy rich and the other is dirt poor. During the seven episodes the men will get to know the women and ultimately narrow the field of beautiful bachelorettes down to the one they each want to marry.

This would be great. Just follow me, I always manage to pick the broke ones. Then eligible bachelorettes pick the other guy - I could sell my services.

I visited a firm recently where the the stalls had full walls and doors. And music piped in. If I worked there I would live in the restrooms.

The urinals were standard. But I've never really had a problem with that.

Great. Yet another series the Sox should've won that we got mercilessly screwed out of. Goddammit!
