Don’t you hate ordering pizza online? What you want…. What you end up getting…. NO, NO, NO, DAMMIT! Can’t you see that I ordered the PEPPERONI on the left, and the MUSHROOMS on the right?!?!?!? Courtesy of The Sneeze
Good Times Never Seemed So Good
2 games to 0. Nice 2-1 win. Schilling, who is no longer the Schilling of yore, still knows how to compete. Then came the "dynamic duo of Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon" who kept the Rockies in place for the back end of the game. Nice to see that even when the bats aren’t connecting (unlike Wednesday’s blowout), the pitching … Read More

This might be the sought-after toy this Christmas: I’m gonna get me one just to scare the crap out of the dogs…..
The Haunted Swingset
Click through and watch the video. If the video is real, it’s really creepy: A ‘HAUNTED’ playground swing that rocks backwards and forwards on its own for days has scientists baffled. Parents and children are convinced a ghost is to blame. They were so spooked they reported the swing to cops after it began moving four months ago. The phenomenon … Read More
Terry Francona Announces Josh Beckett Will Start Games 1, 4, 7, 2, 6, 3, 5
From The Onion: BOSTON—Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona announced Tuesday that the Colorado Rockies would receive a healthy dose of pitcher Josh Becket during the 2007 World Series, saying that the ALCS MVP would start games one, four, seven, two, six, three, and five, in that order. "I don’t think this should come as a real shock to anyone," … Read More
TIVO/Liveblogging Game One
Little Shop brush-up went well and we got out of there at a decent enough hour, so with a little help from TIVO, I can watch Game One of the World Series. Might be the only game I get to see. Pregame (TIVO): Blah blah blah blah blah. OMG. That’s Yaz? Well, I guess he’s got to get old too. … Read More
Che Guevara Comes To Winston-Salem
Several people have seen the plane soaring overhead around the city today. "Hey. That plane is dragging a banner of Che Guevara." That’s what they’ve been saying. They’s what I said too, when I first saw it. It’s not Che. It’s the Geico caveman. I caught a close look. Mistake is understandable though. So, as a public service, I thought … Read More
Who You Gonna Call?
The CIA has an actual "terrorist buster" logo: Seriously. It’s on the CIA website. They just unveiled it. Of course, it should look familiar to many of you… Laugh, snort.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!
YES, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, TODAY REALLY IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!
Oh, Me Of Little Faith
And I was all ready to throw in the towel last week. Shame on me. Down 3-1, and with Manny saying "Well, no biggie if we lose" (or words to that effect), I just didn’t have a good feeling about the Red Sox taking the pennant. And even though we got off to a good start last night, we were … Read More
Baby Mouse Wine
My self-education as a wine conneseur is progressing slowly (as evidenced by the fact that I can’t spell "conneseur"). That said, I can safely say that I am not a fan of rice wine stuffed with baby mice: Used as a cure all in rural parts of Korea, it’s made by stuffing a hoard of two to three day old … Read More
