Just ask Jon who tonight put a rubber tarantula underneath the bag of ravioli I was about to dump into a pot of boiling water. I BOUGHT THE TARANTULA, for crying out loud, last year, in hopes of frightening Jon, the unfrightable fucker who has more than once stuck his head over the shower curtain when I am mid-shampoo to purposefully convince me that a serial killer has entered the house and stumbled upon my bathing experience with glee.
Damien and his brother Cameron are attempting to get on The Amazing Race. They have a noble purpose for this endeavor, having nothing to do with fame as “reality” tv stars. We’ll be rooting for you guys from the phisch bowl!

If you’re a huge baseball fan (Tom) with some time to kill, FranX points us to BallparkTour.com and Ballparks of Baseball. I’m sure it’s due to being in my hometown, but the only sporting venue I like more than the Ballpark in Arlington (I refuse to dignify it by its corporate name) is Tiger Stadium. And I’m not talking about the one in Detroit.
I have a new reason to develop a more positive attitude.
“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” — Herm Albright, author, quoted in the St. Paul Pioneer Press
Don’t mess with Texas. Now you can buy gear and support the anti-litter campaign with the awesome slogan.
Nick Saban, former head coach of the national champion LSU Tigers football team, has a reputation of being a tough coach. He’s tough on his players during practice, and especially during a game. This was one reason he was highly sought after by the Miami Dolphins.
So what does he do during the first training camp with the team? Why, he makes a rookie defensive tackle cry, of course. I shall refrain from comments regarding the DT being from USC…
Merlin’s del.icio.us page points to this explanation by Leslie on the different make-ups of the different diet sodas now available from Coca-Cola.
For the record, I’ve tried them all, and my own personal taste test results are as follows:
Diet Coke – I knew there was a reason I never liked “New Coke,” and having a non-sugar version only made that worse
Diet Coke with Splenda – new “New Coke”; better than the original, but still not something I’d pick up
Coke Zero – nice try, and it would be a toss-up between it and the Diet with Splenda
C2 – as close as you can get to the authentic Coke with a diet version; if I can’t have, or would rather not have, the Real Thing™, this is what I drink
Though I have been rather successful at keeping soda of any kind to a minimum in my diet. Which means if I’m going to have one, I may as well have the original, non-diet version.
