Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

What's he going to do, make an appointment with his plastic surgeon? Get out there and do your job! (His team won after he scored a goal, post-injury)

I gotta wonder why the ref let him back on the field with blood soaked shorts. FIFA put in rules years ago requiring any player with an open wound to leave the field to have it bandaged before allowing them to return for fear of transmitting blood-borne diseases. Unless the rules only applied to amateurs, but that seems unlikely because the incident that led them to institute the rules occurred in a pro match.

We don't have massage chairs in my office. Nor a selection of desserts. But I have an appointment for a professional massage next Thursday, so I'm not feeling to bad about my life. My neck has been feeling incredibly tense and tight (to the point of pain) and figured I'm probably so tensed out that it's having a bad effect on my body. Weird arm tingles, headaches, etc. So there'll be $70 that I had planned on paying down the credit card balance a bit more going toward keeping me off of muscle relaxants. 'Cause owie.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

As she stomped away she yelled, "Someone get our stupid King off the floor!"

BWAH!

Try expedia.com's map page. I believe they still let you select from shortest by mileage, quickest, and, possibly, scenic.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

It really isn't necessary. Hundreds of professional games are played every week and every 5-10 years or so, one story comes along to make everyone go "ook".

This is what the hockey players said about helmets. The hockey players who routinely were missing front teeth and had facial scars and broken noses.

Catchers don't often get rung in the cup (they get it on the knuckles a lot more often, or so it seems to me), but they still wear cups anyway.

I can't even.

I agree, I suspect he was required to change the shorts before continuing and the reporter was going for drama.

I hope you feel better, soon.

I can't speak highly enough about the contour pillow, or at least, about the relief it has brought me. It's not as comfortable (in the hedonistic sense) as a nice fluffy pillow, but I'm sleeping again, and each day, I've woken up feeling better than the day before. Prior to getting the pillow, waking was actually the worst part of the day. I want this thing under my head when they bury me.

There's a 90-mph bullet aimed at their groins on every single play. That's a completely different scenario.

The hockey players who routinely were missing front teeth and had facial scars and broken noses.

Helmets did nothing to prevent missing teeth, facial scarring or broken noses and still don't to this day. Players wearing screens or shields are still a minority in the NHL and are usually recovering from injury. Also, fewer professional hockey games are played compared to professional soccer where there are multiple leagues in most countries of the world.

Thank you! I'm sure I will. I've been going to this masseuse whenever need presents/funds permit, and she has genius hands. Sooooo good!

That's . . . quite an image there.

Baseball suddenly seems much more gripping.

Okay, now I've got that "Badger Badger Badger" thing with "Todger Todger Todger"..

in my mind, it has the same tune as "dreidel dreidel dreidel"
