Word of the Day

The cross-breeding of different dogs has led to some interesting names. Example: my stepmom and littlest sister are the proud owners of Marley, a labradoodle. A labradoodle is the combination of a lab and a poodle (I think) and, till today, the winner of "Most ridiculous dog type I've ever heard of". Now I've heard [...]

I wish I was back in college

Ah, remember college? It was a simpler time then, carefree and innocent. I think my freshman year of college I averaged something like 12 hours a sleep a day (mostly caused by not doing any work coupled with not enjoying myself).
Anyway college was the perfect time to master completely useless skills, like these Vanderbilt kids [...]

You know what they say about big feet

In reading Tom Verducci's article on the new afterword in the paperback version of Game of Shadows this little tidbit of information about Barry Bonds stood out: 
My favorite fact: the authors detail in their afterword the freakish growth of Bonds' body parts in his years with the Giants: from size 42 to a size [...]

"The shift to Hillary Rodham Clinton signaled a new investment in her husband's career as governor and president, during which she was [...]

Dwight Howard is a man among boys

Everyone of course knows that Dwight Howard was robbed at the Slam Dunk contest; that sticker-on-the-backboard dunk was both sick and original and certainly deserving of perfect 10's. Now there's reason to get even more angry about the injustice done to Howard: video of Howard practicing the dunks he would have done in the finals [...]

The best part of the Oscars

For the first time ever (I think) I sat through the whole Oscars show last night. Ellen was pretty funny, the giving the script to Scorsese was good, the taking a picture for MySpace with Eastwood even better. No real surprises amongst the victors though I would have liked it if that little girl from [...]

Oh silly internet. Teabirds is a blog devoted entirely to pictures of attractive females drinking tea. Only on the internets, what will those crazy kids come up with next?. (via Kottke , per usual)

What kind of President? One with no what?

This YouTube clip is from the recent AFSCME Democratic presidential candidate forum and features no-shot-in-hell Dennis Kucinich. Makes me proud to be a Democrat. I mean come on, you want to be taken seriously (as he, despite this clip and other gaffes, deserves to be) but then you do that? Seriously? Anyway a President should [...]
