Vortex, since I hear many stories of Bingham Cup every (edit: other) year, I'm sure your DC gay ruggers know my NC and Atlanta gay ruggers. Which now that I think of it sounds an awful lot like the obligatory lesbian rugger everyone-knows-each-other conversation, except for being one very important degree removed from actually having slept with everyone in the league.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

there's no info online for SF as yet, the tourney is every two years, usually in May. I thought about going to London a few years ago (my boys would have hooked me up with a room, I just had to get there), but I decided to go to the F2F instead :)

Hmmm. May's tricky, Anniversary and all. I do want to get up there. I still have to get to Budapest by November.

Dude. Just got off the phone with my cousin- after some cutieness from the cherub, discussion of general family weirdness, we talked about "the game." How did I not know about this [link]
Some people are sick. Which is to say, certainly not all or even most. I just can't believe I didn't know.
BTW, Chicagoistas, your Eric Zorn rawks, as do y'all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An account of Bush's visit to Caterpillar Tractor:
“I would suggest moving back,” Bush said as he climbed into the cab of a massive D-10 tractor during his visit to a Caterpillar factory today. “I’m about to crank this sucker up.” Newsweek notes, “As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety. ‘Get out of the way!’ a news photographer yelled. ‘I think he might run us over!’ said another. … Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor. Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor’s window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned.”

Er. Case in point I suppose.

I hadn't heard that either. Still, if there's, say, a million Bears fans in Chicago, more than a few would be idiots and/or jerks.

Jerks, sure. I have heard people who I love and generally think are pretty good people shout things I would find offensive at games-mostly of the calling people/things/plays gay. Those few people though were a little beyond the pale.

I am waiting for my spinach & feta pie to cool. Hopefully it is good, cause I had my heart set on it and it takes practically an hour to bake so I'm starved!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sounds really good, sarameg.
I'm waiting for the firm cocktail party (goodbye for two associates) to start so that I can stop pretending I'm working.
