Is there a word in the English language that combines crazy and awesome? Crawesome?
Q appears to be out of Fs to give.
I heard about it on KMOJ this morning. Very strange.
What’s something you wish you didn’t know?
Who killed Kennedy.
Who did it?
[Chicago mobster Sam] Giancana. The connection was there between Sinatra and the Mafia and Kennedy. Joe Kennedy — he was a bad man — he came to Frank to have him talk to Giancana about getting votes.
I’ve heard this theory before, that the mob helped win Illinois for Kennedy in 1960.
We shouldn’t talk about this publicly. Where you from?
Toronto.
I was at the Massey Hall show.
That change of subject is so abrupt — I laughed so hard.
I still think the craziest part was where he compared Paul Allen to Hendrix.
Hey, both of those cats are native Seattleites...
Good God, someone covered Jon & Vangelis' "State of Independence"?
Trivia: Joe Hisaishi, composer of soundtracks for many of Mayizaki films, is really Mamoru Fujisawa; his "stage name" is the Japanese equivalent of how "Jones Quincy" would be pronounced.
wut?
"Crawsome" sounds more related to quantities of astacids.
Either: "Did you check your traps today?" " Yeah, each was full, it was crawsome!"
Or: "Was there anything in your traps today?" "None, but I crawsome that weren't trapped."
Today I am exactly as old as Christopher Guest was the day This is Spinal Tap was released: 13,175 days old.
I am twice as old as Dusty Springfield was when "Son of a Preacher Man" was released.
I wish I could remember to check that site. I never think of it unless you or someone else mentions it here.
Same. I had two pretty good ones today:
That's exactly as old as William Clark was the day the Lewis & Clark expedition concluded.
That's exactly as old as Billy Crystal was the day he first appeared on Saturday Night Live.
Can't believe no one mentioned this yet.
Baseball player Joe Mauer is exactly as old as David Letterman was the day he first hosted Late Night (12,714 days).
Or
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is exactly as old as Kirby Puckett was the day he died (16,793 days).
How is it that the NBA Hot Stove is hotter than the MLB Hot Stove?
Lack of fuel?
You know, when that Thomas-Irving trade happened, I was one of the morons that thought the Celtics got fleeced. I don't know if I've ever been so wrong before.
By "NBA Hot Stove" I meant "Cleveland trades everybody "
Yeesh. I may be less inclined to watch if this happens.
I would rather see Aaron Brooks play
Even if Rose didn't play I wouldn't want to watch a team he was on.
Amateur video of the Heavy Falcon landing. Very cool.
Watch it with the sound on. That is cool. It's amazing how loud it is with that much of a delay.
It’s really amazing how powerful big rockets like these are. I was lucky enough to see the last shuttle launch up close, and even though we were over a mile away, we felt the heat coming off of the rockets after that 5-7 second delay. Quite an experience.
And a quibble with the commentary on that video: the sound you hear is the ignition of the rockets themselves, not a sonic boom.
It's actually both; the sonic boom(s) is first and the rumble from the ignition comes soon after.
FanGraphs releases top 100 according to KATOH. Zach Granite ranks sixth with a projected WAR of 10 for their first six years. Royce Lewis is 23rd with 8 WAR, Garver 32nd at 7 WAR. LaMonte Wade, Stephen Gonsalves, and Zach Littell also make the top 100. Granite isn't exactly Acuna, but wins are wins.
The curling commentary team needs a Telestrator because Im having a hard time following along with their strategy.
i'm in charlotte. i don't think i'll have much luck getting this establishment to switch to curling from the duke/NC game.
Place would’ve not been happy with the US giving up a 3-1 lead losing to The Swiss.
They'd be less happy with this effort against Korea. Yeesh.
Sad news. R. J. Adelman, son of Rick Adelman, was killed after being struck by a vehicle. He was forty-four.
Pretty much this:
if Darvish has a lot of $100M offers and if the Twins, who really need a starting pitcher, are one of the teams making that kind of offer, he should sign soon, right? All it would take is for the Twins to add a year or a little money, no? If they don’t, let us ask why they won’t do so. And let us ask that just as loudly as we’d ask Darvish why he has not yet accepted one of these reported $100M offers.
Compared to a guy like Scott Boras Press Releases Heyman, that's what he is.
If he really wants to pitch for the Dodgers and just waiting for $$ to free up, it doesn't matter what Twins FO does. :/
That's true. But you'd think they'd be able to get some sort of idea of that answer if they offered that extra year/money. That they won't do that or move on means they don't really know.
Or they do already know the answer.
If they knew the answer was "not the Twins" then presumably they'd focus their efforts and attention somewhere else.
Not if the answer was "Not the Twins if the Dodgers can free up the $$." Which isn't a given.
I suppose... I suspect the money and years matter more though.
Jimmy Butler has been great but we can stop the MVP chants. We saw the real MVP.
Did anybody read the Quincy Jones interview?

It didn't to Hrbek. Or Joe.
