How bizarre has this story been from day 1? How bizarre has this season been from game 1? I thought Tebow was Josh's little project. Since they already had a great QB and so many other needs, wasn't drafting a rookie quarterback considered McDaniels' Folly? Well, one of them, anyway. Oh, i see what...

Now that McSmartypants is out in Denver, how long before Tebow gets traded to Arizona (or Tennessee or San Francisco or...)? Traded? I thought the question was how soon will Tebow be in the starting lineup (at least that's what i've understood following none too closely from afar). Albert Hayneswor...

We're working our way through the Francis Urquhart trilogy again... http://www.hotmoviesale.com/dvds/7093/1/The-House-Of-Cards-Trilogy.jpg Ian Richardson was amazing. And though the later episodes weren't quite as good as "House of Cards" (How could they be?) was this possibly the best te...

I need to get in on that - I've been mistaken for a mexican before.

It's all about the secret handshake.

Very real chance I may listen to these all day long. Can't get enough.

Well, either this or Clams, jr.

"When you win, say little, when you lose say less." But hell, you gotta allow me at least a little

That was, shall we say, very satisfying.

Looks like there's a lot of money to be made in a spellchecker and a factchecker for tattoos. I'm waiting for someone to invent a quick and painless tattoo removal procedure and then franchise them for mall kiosks. When that comes along, I'm investing big time. I was thinking SOA style, but then yo...

For the first five minutes i'm thinking, this is really great, but the kid set the bar really high last year so what's he gonna do for me lately? Then came the last minute and a half! ALSUM!!

Morning NC! How is everyone on this fine Sunday? Clams, don't knock your lizard exploits, I really liked that post. You had such enthusiasm over it that it really resonated with me. Our good moment are our good moments, we don't really get to choose their importance in the vast scheme of things. Ta...

Anybody wanting to know the real scoop on the Sox's trade for Adrien Gonzalez would do well to check the radio simulcast on WBUR.com sometime between 3 & 4 this afternoon. Their new ace sports reporter [ ], fresh from this morning's press conference, will have all the deets and, no doubt, great ...

but would you prefer a setup like, oh, I don't know, say college football? Hehehe. You devil. I'm glad i don't have to take any of your tests. Anybody looking for a laugh oughta check out today's Boston Globe coverage of tonite's "game of the century." Between the straight coverage and th...

Caressing the balls of life is just like ringing them bells!

Maybe this belongs in the blasphemy thread.... I like Van, but I've always found it hard to get into his catalogue beyond Moondance, which (like everyone else) I love. I've got Tupelo Honey and Astral Weeks and I've never really liked either of them as records, apart from a few great songs. You alw...

Fuckin A!!! Only about a third of the way thru, and i'm as excited as Xmas morning. Holy shit this thing rocks like a motherfucker. That picture of Mick doing his cadaver glamour thing freaks me out tho.

If this is what u do when you're busy & stressed out, you either need to stay that way permanently or get into another line of work (i.e. music writing), Iowan. Great stuff. Nailed it.

The Outback Bowl seems to me a matchup of 2 teams that don't deserve to be playing on Jan 1. That being said, bring on the gators! "New Year's Day" just doesn't mean what it used to when it comes to college football and bowl games. I think that's a pretty sad result myself, if you're gonn...

Competition v. aesthetics. Rough & tumble v. Platonic ideal. Zip v. TC.

The only problem I have about them doing the signed note thing, and its not that huge of a deal, but this pushes people to order online and away from picking this up at there local independent record store. Not that they dont too a ton for them anyways, the record store day stuff and the in stores,...

Got it in one, Clamsie.

Not so much Moondance v. Astral Weeks, (fwiw, to me they're pretty equivalent) but not getting into Van beyond Moondance. My soapbox is out for repairs so the pontificating will have to wait.

Yeah, i was starting to worry that my musings above were being proven correct, but i'm hoping it was just kind of a weekend lull or something.

I swear, monsieur francais saying that it's monday just made my weekend feel about 8 hours shorter.

This probably belongs in the NC, oh yes its likely NSFW, though it is on youtube, so theres no graphic nudity or whatever. Its just, well, strange... BdHPk9tlfkk Weird? Yes. But really I'd say it's more superfluous. Some things are just meant to be figurative, implicit, suggested, hinted at, and i'...

He is one of the best songwriters out there, if not the best. But look at everything Patterson and DBT are doing to generate enthusiasm for Go Go Boots. That sort of thing is the difference maker when it comes to getting a big following. And the artist has to take the lead in doing those sorts of t...

Penny wise and pound foolish, imo, TC. The Sunday paper is one of life's real and affordable pleasures.

Thanks for posting that Dothan thing, blackwll. I hadn't heard about that, tho i've heard in a general way about smaller Jewish communities (not just in the South) trying to recruit families. I will say that their Temple membership is a bargain compared to ours LOL.
