And, actually, this Times way isn't so shakey like the two-can way.

ION, Bernie Mac died. 50 years old. Man.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Jesse, I just read that! One of those people whom something like that shouldn't happen to.

Whoa. Poor Bernie Mac.
Jesse, I meant, the only reason you'd want to do that would be to entertain kids. I mean, I buy cream for the ice cream maker instead of just ice cream. Is that different?

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that I've ever had actual homemade ice cream, so I can't tell if it's worthwhile.

It is good. But mainly because I do weird flavors. Pluot being my fave. Served with a ginger snap. nom nom nom.
I might make just sweet cream next. No vanilla. Just yummy cream.

“Not dead yet!”
Tom Daley is adorable.
I missed the tribute to Jim McKay, which bums me out monumentally. I made it as far as the torch lighting and it was like the minute that sucker went up, I passed out.
It was way spectacular, but I still put my vote in for the archer in Barcelona and for the Winter Olympics, which one was it that had the ski jumper light the torch?
And for sheer sentimental value, my favorite is still Muhammed Ali in Atlanta.
::goes to look for news stories on Bernie Mac::
That sucks.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
And, the whole "Women's gymnastics is horrible! They're just little girls!" thing has started again: [link]
Sure, there are abuses in gymnastics. But just looking at pictures of gymnasts from the past few years and gymnasts from the eighties and early nineties, I'd bet anything that the rates of anorexia have gone way down. The description in that article of gymnasts looking like prepubescent boys from the neck down is just weird -- most gymnasts tend to be compact and muscular.
And he cites palm rips as an "injury"? Seriously? That's about the same level of injury as a skinned knee. You stick some tape on it and keep going. (He also says palm rips from the rings, which is a men's event, leading me to believe that he doesn't really know much about gymnastics.) Also, up until the quote at the end from Dominique Moceanu, every single incident he talks about is one mentioned in "Little Girls in Pretty Boxes," which was published around 1996. Some actual news in a newspaper, please?
