I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was wondering that too. I don't think so, but we could go ask in Minearverse to make sure.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Strong/crazy/daring/weapons competency... these are all perfectly valid considerations. But I think we're forgetting the most important rescuer quality of all. Dashing.

Hugh is nothing if not dashing.

I skipped, so I apologize if this was already mentioned, but the Vanilla Ice singing Destiny's Child is on tv again tonight "Hit me Baby one more time". 2 songs away, I think.

Ann, that's a ferret.

ita, re the news, Jamaican Asafa Powell (And I may have the first name wrong) broke the record for the 100-yard dash.

Congrats, in a national pride sort of way!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, you got the name right. 100 metre, though, not 100 yards.

I'm stupidly proud of some man I've never met doing something of little use. In fact, I teared up at lunch when I read the ESPN crawl.

Which is why he's learned to fight dirty.

I enjoy Hit Me Baby One More Time disproportionately.

And I want the IT folks present to know that Tommy Tutone is among your ranks and a sexy little credit to your kind.

Sue, from way earlier, sorry about the BCR earworm, but you earwormed me with the Cold Chisel "Saturday Night", so we are even.

I wonder what his office extension is.
