You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

Have any stories about Kirby Puckett's death mentioned anything about steroid use?

There's never been a hint of suspicion about Puckett.

None that I know of. He did have a big jump in power in one year, but frankly if you saw his body you wouldn't presume he was on 'roids. He was squat and bowling ball shaped. Though he did have pretty big arms. Still, I've never heard those rumors associated with him.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The sports radio guys last night pointed out that a massive stroke wasn't all that unexpected on a guy that was just under 400 pounds. Apparently, he'd really gained a lot of weight since leaving baseball.

Kirby Puckett was the baby panda of the big leagues.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

But now, because of Bonds, that question is never going to go away. They'll be asking that about everyone. Sigh.

I'm not sure I like the shade of blue I chose. It's too cheery. I haven't seen it in natural light though.

YOU'RE CHEERY!

If he wasn't cheery, he'd have the blues.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cheery is a good thing, Tom. I swear.

Speaking of cheery, is House new tonight?
