Speaking of teams nobody can be bothered to care about, I've been sitting here all afternoon dying for the day to end so I can go home and collapse on the couch after helping my father move all weekend, and box seats at the Bulls game tonight just fell into my lap. Ah, well, I can collapse tomorrow night I guess.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sekrit message to Hayden: Noted and appreciated. It was starting to feel a tad off, truth to tell.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was going to say -- no Boston columnist ever wrote a (bathetic, untruthful) history of the tragic Patriots. Because they aren't terribly tragic. Their winning has been good-but-not-shocking guys doing good-but-not-shocking wins in orderly fashion. (To get any dramatic reaction out of Bill Belichick, you would probably have to apply electrodes to his nuts.) I think that 4th-quarter loss to the Nobodys 2-3 weeks back got more coverage than their wins, because of the shockingness.
Also, baseball is in Boston, where it's convenient for TV cameras and half-assed columnists; baseball has a lot more games over a lot longer season; and baseball happens when it is not cold enough to die while tailgating before the game.
Although I do enjoy watching games played during and just after snow. The one where the frostbitten fans threw snow-fireworks after every touchdown in the playoffs last year was hilarious. I don't remember a thing from the game itself, just my amazement at the persistence of the fans.

OK, can someone please tell me what the movie reference in Shrek 2 is when the giant gingerbread man starts referring to himself in 3rd person as Mongo? Please!?!! It's been making me insane.

Haven't seen it, but I'm guessing Blazing Saddles?

Huh. And yet it was familiar to me despite never having seen that movie. Weird.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
brenda has correctly answered sarameg's question.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Blazing Saddles, sarameg.
