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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, Kory, Koby, Kacy and Kody Clemens. If their father had been a ground-ball pitcher, I shudder to wonder what numbers their names might have begun with.

For the non-baseball fun, it's funnier when you know that "K" is used to signify strikeouts, of which Clemen has many. If he was a groundball pitcher I expect his children would be named Squib, Bleeder, HasEyes and ShotUpTheMiddle.

Michael Vick is a depraved fuck, should be banned from the NFL for life (which he will be, but for gambling), and his apologists should go fuck themselves. Or possibly go take classes on logic and ethics.

A local sportswriter once noted that hockey players were routinely the nicest, baseball players the biggest egotistical jerks and 80% of all football players were not people you'd feel comfortable leaving your daughter in the same room with.

As to DJ's question, yes Cal Ripken is one of the all-time good guys in baseball, as is Tony Gwynn. Which is why they had such record turnouts at Cooperstown this year, particularly when all the majors sports look tainted and creepy.

Yes, quite frankly, clearly indicating that white font or links go to animal abuse-related matters would be a great help for me, too. I get all out of proportion upset by animal abuse that I don't for human abuse, I think because at least with the human-hurting I have at least some hope that the perpetrator will be sufficiently punished.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I once met a family with daughters named April, May, June, July, and January.

Art Crawl!!!

I didn't see the one with the chicks napping on his back -- I saw one where they were two months old and "feeding" in the driveway and another where there were young chicks and older ducklings following him around.

And my credit card account has been flagged again, and yet again I can't login and view my statement online because knowing what the possibly fraudulent activity is would be far too helpful.

The B&B where we stayed when we visited Cooperstown a few years ago said they were booked for this year's Hall of Fame induction within 24 hours of Ripken announcing his retirement.
