Interesting. Not the kind of thing I'd normally post, but I just got the following email from Nike:
Thank you, ignorance.
Thank you for starting the conversation.
Thank you for making an entire nation listen to the Rutgers team's story. And for making us wonder what other great stories we've missed.
Thank you for reminding us to think before we speak.
Thank you for showing us how strong and poised 18- and 20-year-old women can be.
Thank you for reminding a sports nation that another basketball tournament goes on in March.
Thank you for showing us that sport includes more than the time spent on the court.
Thank you for unintentionally moving women's sport forward.
And thank you for making all of us realize that we still have a long way to go.
Next season starts 11.16.07
Kind of a cool take on the whole kerfuffle.

Happy Birthday Sherryl!
Zithromax prescription has been acquired, so the doctor agrees I wasn't just being a whiner about having a sore throat for so long.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone who bought a ticket to the Laugh Factory on Sunday night ended up getting two surprises.
The first came when Dave Chappelle appeared onstage at 10:36 p.m. for an unannounced set. The second shocker: Chappelle kept telling jokes until 4:43 the next morning--- making his entire set a whopping six hours and seven minutes.
That's the longest performance by any comedian in the the 28-year history of the Laugh Factory, according to founder Jamie Masada.
Amazingly, the previous record was established just a few days earlier. On April 10, Dane Cook performed his own marathon act, appearing on stage for three hours and fifty minutes.
"It was just one of those nights," Masada said of Chappelle's appearance. "He had everyone laughing for six hours."
Indeed, Masada said only about a dozen of the 150-plus original members of the audience left the club before Chappelle wrapped his set. "The audience was with him 100 percent," he said.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
In her memoirs, long-time Atlanta Constitution columnist Celestine Sibley talks about how the newsroom hated the pneumatic tubes that were installed to take copy to the typesetters, in part because it replaced at least one copyboy. To prove it wasn't that great an invention, several guys regularly put copy in the tube and then took the stairs to race it to the pressroom.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Thanks everyone!

Virginia Gun Giveaway To Go Ahead Despite Massacre
They are calling it the "Bloomberg Gun GiveAway". On Thursday two gun shops in the state of Virginia will stage a prize draw. Anyone spending more than $100 in either Bob Moates' stores or Old Dominion Guns and Tackle will be entered, and the first prize a free handgun or rifle worth $900. . .
Despite yesterday's tragic events at Virginia Tech, a clerk at Bob Moates said the draw would still go ahead. It will underline the unbending adherence of many Virginians to the right to bear arms - the state has been ranked as the second easiest in the country in which to buy guns - in the face of renewed calls for tighter gun control.
