In my sports news, I would like everyone to know that I am rocking my sports pools. I am winning both my office football pick'em and my internet buddies hockey fantasy league. By kinda a lot.

I only tell you because you don't care, and because I can't really do smack talking right. Plus, if I smack talk over there, I will inevitably lose horribly almost immediately.

Someone just called me a rude moron because I said the statute of limitations had expired on City of Angels spoilers in a City of Angels post.

Ah, well.

And the marine corps marathon too, no? Isn't that why the rally has no portapotties?

The rally does have portapotties, but separate ones from the marathon. Usually, if there are two events on the Mall on the same weekend, the two events will split the cost of the portapotties and rent them for the whole weekend. This time, the Marine Corps Marathon people said no to that -- they're renting their own portapotties, and they're going to put locks on them on Saturday so that the rally people can't use them. So the rally people are also renting portapotties.

Marines don't like sanity, apparently.

So the other day I saw a woman wearing a pair of nice dress boots. They were black leather that went up just below the knees - and they had open toes. You could see about three toes on each foot, as the opening was fairly small.

Cool? Weird? An abomination unto footwear?

I'm going with "abomination unto footwear".

I should have taken a photo. But then again, it might sound rude if I say, "Can I take a photo of your boots so my invisible internet friends can discuss and possibly make fun of them?"

Not that it's anything people here don't know, but this is life without unions and a healthy social safety net [link]

Answers b) and c), and sadly not uncommon around here. I find them horrific.
