Already a moral victory here. If not for OSU, then for the Big 10. I feel good watching a Big 10 team stick with USC like this.

Addicted.

Spent all day talking about it with 12-year-olds. They were 4 at the time. One of my students said her dad was on the other side of the Pentagon when the plane crashed. I sometimes think I should chuck out my social studies curriculum and just teach history backwards from whatever is going on in the world today. Trace the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan back through the discovery of oil in the Mideast, the Arab/Israeli conflict, and even back to the Crusades.

I call bullshit

I think I've said it before, The Wiggles weren't nearly as annoying as I was expecting. Some of their tunes have decent melodies and harmonies. Would I choose to listen to them? No. Can I tolerate it to see my kids happy? Yep. We (momd & dad) much prefer Dan Zanes, Justin Roberts, Ralph's World, Laurie Berkner, They Might Be Giants, and a few others.

This is me during our opening day assembly at school. I was supposed to be Bruno, a judge on some reality dance show. I studied him on youtube for about 30 seconds and raided our drama teacher's wardrobe closet.

I plan on showing this message to my classes on Wednesday. I will preview it, but expect it to be a very nice motivational apolitical speech.

The punishment is in no shape, way, or form too harsh. The guy from BSU should face some punishment as well. In an unrelated note, my hawkeyes sure stunk it up today. A win's a win, but geez.

I appreciate this list. I never submitted. Too hard to sort through all the material, pick 20, and rank 'em. Some of you put a lot of thought into this.

That's not right.

I remember hearing it, but it didn't make an impression at the time.

Joe Nathan blew a save today. Damn.

I'm firmly on the Mould side, but have enormous respect for all of them. Saw Grant a few months ago. The man can sing better than the CD releases of Husker Du ever revealed. He doesn't look well.

QFT!! Why do you say this with such certainty. How often in his career has he been called upon to block from the WR position? Watch his body language, it's almost like he was trying to figure out what to do.

Surprised you didn't already have Willie and the Poor Boys

Wow, I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole thing. I hope it's effective. I remember laughing at the "death on the highway" type videos I watched in drivers' ed.

Adrian Peterson And one hell of a hole!

Engagement ring?

REM - Finest Worksong

Curiosity?

"Wilco will love you, baby!"

I like it, but it's one of my least favorite Wilco albums. I think One Wing, Deeper Down, and Solitaire are my favorites. Everlasting Everything remains my least favorite Wilco song.

Not trying to convert you, or anything. We all have our personal tastes. But this is worth reading/watching if you like reading about film and want to dig a little deeper into his work. http://www.movingimagesource.us/articles/the-substance-of-style-pt-1-20090330#

Excited about Inglorious Basterds. I think I'm one of the few who really couldn't stand Kill Bill. I liked Jackie Brown better.
