Ah, language

Via Newmark, Mangled English.
Which makes me remember Engrish.com.
This is probably my last post until mid-October, as I don't know how post happy I will be while traveling. Maybe I'll post some pictures of Berlin, though, if any come out particularly well.

Damn straight

Doctors have proven that Red Sox fans are "exceptionally tough." Not ground-breaking news, but it's good to have data to back up what we all know.

I just got a call from 404-461-9978. I googled it, and the message board I found has a few people saying it's the number that comes up from a calling card. Anybody know if this is true?

Nice

Jon Stewart's Emmy performance deserves an Emmy.

Gulp

Well, I did predict that they'd catch us before we turned it on and left 'em in the dust, but right now that's small comfort. I really hope I'm right about that second part.
Also, I can't help but feel a little responsible for this. I was at the game the article talks about where Foulkie was booed (for the record, I wasn't booing him). Not long after that I spotted him in the stands of my company's softball game and thus caused a bunch of us to go up to him and pester him. We were nice about it and gave him beer, thanked him for last year's performance, and invited him to join us at a bar, but it sounds like he likes his anonymity. Hopefully he gets his shit together for next year, but he's practically guaranteed a positive place in my book based on his 2004 performance even if he is never good again.

Arr!

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Interesting

Markets in everything, ever hear of The Game?

Be healthy

Know what vitamins to take and which not to take.

WTF?

I mean, seriously, What the Fuck?

Sleep well

Some advice on sleep. A lot of it's obvious, but it bears repeating, and some isn't as obvious.
