            Gillooly. Still funny.

         1. Baseball is a pastime...

      2. Yes, because only athletes go to college to party.

         1. Heh, I never got invited to that kind of party.

            1. Me neither. Our parties mostly involved Samba de Amigo.

               1. We also had to pay for ours instead of having them school funded.

      3. Good luck tilting at that windmill, CH.

2. I am forced to ask, is Nate Silver trolling SBG?

      I tried "Rear Window" and "Vertigo". This looks Hitchcockian to me

         I was going to start guessing disaster movies once I got a few minutes of down time, but it hasn't happened yet. For some reason I was thinking alien invasions, though, not natural disasters. I feel like Tom Cruise wore something similar in War of the Worlds.

5. Rough game for ex-Twin R. A. Dickey. Now ex-Twin Liam Hendriks comes in.

6. I just left a lecture by Justice Scalia at the U. He is unsurprisingly a marvelous speaker.

   1. Saw Yuri Yevtushenko (poet) and Eduard Shevardnadze (CCCP foreign minister) at the Northrup. I would love to see Silvia Poggioli and Andrei Codrescu.

   2. CC to DPWY* - found this review of the performance insightful. The comments following the article are also genuinely interesting.

      *and anyone else

      1. That's a pretty fair review of the speech including several of the humorous highlights.

7. This seems like it could have been written in a Casa competition.
