According to reports, Paul Newman, 83 and a former chain-smoker, has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer
Shit! Kenyon College alumnus, do-gooder, smartass, race car driver, charismatic sonofabitch, Butch Cassidy, and ultimately a really good actor.
Also? Makes a hell of a salad dressing.
Hivemind! Can you think of a store where I might be able to pick up a Michael Scott-ish "World's Greatest Boss" coffee mug?

Also Amazon has a Dunder-Mifflen one.
poop on the Newman news. one of my older man crushes.
ION - the song from the Dunkin Donuts commercial "I forgot all about the air hockey table" STUCK IN MY HEAD!
83 is a good long run, but, damn, he's such a quality human being that we really could have done with another two or three decades of him. Preferably ending peacefully in bed surrounded by fat, happy grand and great-grandchildren, not with tubes and IVs and lung cancer. Fuck you, cancer, you asshole.
One would think that that would excuse you from them.
Well, okay, there is that. Still makes me feel wimpy.
Pullups I could do a fair amount of out of the box too. But these days I'm in grevious shape. I have no idea what's left.
If nothing else, it's nice to know the current Gawker roster is full of Buffy nerds: [link]
Also, Hec, where are the scans?
