You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

From the Guardian liveblog

The umpire climbs down from his chair and starts mildly slapping the net cord with his right hand. No one knows why. John Isner winds up for a backhand and misses the ball entirely. No one knows why.

What's going on here? Once, long ago, I think that this was a tennis match. I believe it was part of a wider tennis tournament, somewhere in south-west London, and the winner of this match would then go on to face the winner of another match and, if he won that, the winner of another match. And so on until he reached the final and, fingers crossed, he won the title.

That, at least, is what this spectacle on Court 18 used to be; what it started out as. It's not that anymore and hasn't been for a few hours now. I'm not quite sure what it is, but it is long and it's horrifying and it's very long to boot. Is it death? I think it might be death.

Already on their second day? Wow. Poor tennis guys. Man. Whoever loses that one is at least going to know they were seriously evenly matched, but damn, will that be worth it? (I guess you become a trivia question forever after!)

Because books.

I know next to nothing about tennis, but The Guardian's liveblogger is my new favorite person.

NO such thing! Have you SEEN my (and Plei's) track records for getting things in the mail to people? The only time I manage to do it in a timely manner is when I hold closet culling sales! (And once I have more energy, I need to do another one.)

Re Russet potato, green onion, cabbage. Forget curry powder (words I never thought I'd utter). Bacon or corned beef or sausage. black pepper. salt. Maybe a little rosemary or maybe not. That is all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The Guardian liveblogger is slowly going mad: [link]

That's hilarious.

As far south as Cincinnati. Seriously.

Dude. That's crazy.

Obama fired McChrystal.

Trash talking the boss in a national magazine can get you fired?! Who knew?
