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.
It is a rich and wondrous world in which one can say:
Buzkashi is often compared to polo. Both games are played between people on horseback, both involve propelling an object toward a goal, and both get fairly rough. However, polo is played with a ball, while Buzkashi is played with a dead animal. Polo matches are played for fixed periods totaling about an hour; traditional Buzkashi may continue for days
Where is ESPN on this?
The show it on ESPN 8, "The Ocho."
Didn't you read about it in the most recent issue of OSQ?
(Damn. That stupid movie was made for me. It really was.)
It's like Quidditch only on horses instead of brooms and with only one ball that's actually a dead goat.
It'd be even more like Quidditch if you could throw the goat's head at the other players....

I hadn't heard this before: Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World
Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.
...
An employee at the Costco store in Queens said there were no restrictions on rice buying, but limits were being imposed on purchases of oil and flour. Internet postings attributed some of the shortage at the retail level to bakery owners who flocked to warehouse stores when the price of flour from commercial suppliers doubled.
But I've been reading about things in poorer countries for a while now.
Spiking food prices have led to riots in recent weeks in Haiti, Indonesia, and several African nations. India recently banned export of all but the highest quality rice, and Vietnam blocked the signing of new contract for foreign rice sales.
I swear, this seems awfully like phrenology. Also, forgive me for being black, but equating women open to short-term relationships with women with wider lips? Potful of potential trouble.
How terrifying is that?
HOMG. That would scare the living crap out of me.
I want to do it, simply because it's so sheerly terrifying.
I mean, I might as well die doing something scary, right?
I am loving the Dalai Lama like nobody's business.

And me. I love the sound of the *ping* of a rubber ball hitting someone's head. I am also waiting patiently for my Average Joe's t-shirt to get here.
90 minutes in the vault and a day spent doing 3 jobs because people were out sick. Oy.
