Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm sorry, I am trying to watch the men's synchro diving with y'all, but the NBC coverage is making me crazy.

HAH.
Actually, it's probably somewhat the rest of the world looking at us.
We're supposed to get a hyuge HD lcd installed for presentations in our special room (it has been in receiving for weeks. And we delivered it ourselves!) We're calling it our "operations display." NOT our TV.
I told my boss today I was deeply disappointed that they didn't install it in time for the Opening Ceremonies. Because that would have rocked. But of course, we won't use it for stuff like that. Nuh-uh. (But I am SO getting the most insane screensavers and desktops loaded on our PC to make sure we use it to its capacity.)

To quote Bull Durham, "I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter." Pitchers are good at throwing the ball. Hitting, not so much. Since the '70s, the American League allows an extra player to hit in place of the pitcher. In the National League, pitchers hit. It takes more strategy, and it is the way God intended baseball to be played.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The sport they play in the American League isn't really baseball.

Because books.
In the National League, pitchers hit. It takes more strategy, and it is the way God intended baseball to be played.
Amen.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I want to hold David Finchum's little face in my hands. He's so sweet I almost can't feel pervy about him.
