The High Heat

Montreal used to have baseballers called Expos. What the hell is an Expo exactly and why would a Giant, a Pirate, or even a Cardinal or a Cub be afraid of one?

Even Seinfeld took an axe to an Eagles fan.

There's a Pancake Revolution? Is this an event or a physics of food experiment?

Where's pancakes house?

Sorry. I didn't get any pop ups using the iPhone.

About nine years ago I read this slave narrative twice (Once for myself and again for a college history project in which we had to "interview" an American historical figure.). In about six weeks a well overdue movie that's getting great reviews will be released, telling this incredible story of a not-too-well-known American. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/06/12-years-a-slave-toronto_n_3883998.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment I'm pretty sure I know what intense scene that review refers to. It left me shaking after reading it, and I had to brace myself to read that part again during the

From last Saturday night (8-10-13) Bowery Ballroom NYC:

On that note, Kirk Gibson would like to have a word with Mr. Braun. I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that conversation. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130818&content_id=57401418&vkey=news_ari&c_id=ari

I really like Charlie Manuel, but we all knew this would be his final year in Philly. He still wants to manage, but he's 69; so he's probably looking at being a mid-season replacement, if anything. I'll always appreciate him for the '08 season!

Charlie Manuel is out in Philly, announcement at 2:30. I hope he takes Ryan Howard, J-Roll, the GM, and the entire bullpen with him.

Tweedy's previous statement was that he failed to personally talk to Ken Coomer (almost called him Ron Coomer -haha!) when he wanted him to leave the band. Firing Bennett personally was a step needed to take in his own maturity, rather than have the manager handle everything for him. Hell, Jeff even admits that his wife use to have to arrange everything at home, including the small things like calling for pizza delivery. There were lots of things Tweedy needed to do on his own. Firing Bennett was his first step in a lot of ways, including not letting his band fall completely apart. There's mor

Some things are a natural given.

Ever since I saw that scene, it's now something I say (including the pause) to people whenever they confound me. I say it frequently.

You think with a little of that Miami medicine, I could play for the current New York Yankees, The Bronx Balmers?

So I should have played professional baseball after all? .333 is a great batting average.

I purchased 3 power ball tickets at $2 per. The first two tickets were duds, but I won $4 on the third. Am I lucky?

Is he The Don? Or Thee Don?

There used to be a woman on here who replicated the work of this model on a famous album cover. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2018926566_whippedcreamlady16m.html In later years, at concerts, Alpert would tell audiences, "Sorry, but I can't play the cover for you."

Jeff Tweedy's solo DVD "Sunken Treasure" has Laminated Cat on it. You can download all the songs straight from the DVD.

You didn't name your twins Kirby and Hrbie, did you?

If more small business owners would learn how to fire their friends, there'd be a lot more small businesses.
