Field of Dreams After dropping off Terrance, Ray turns the VW mini-bus around and there's Terrance in the headlights. [Low bass drum boom] Terrance: Moonlight Graham. Ray: You saw it! I get chills just thinking about . [uPDATE]: The guy is working to help clean up the oil spill!

How about the part where if you "fail", a report is transmitted to the authorities? Mouthwash, among other things, will create a false positive. Are you for that, too?

A guy I used to work with had gotten 2 DUIs. Had to spend a week in jail and couldn't drive for a year. Then when he was able to drive, he had to have one of those devices in his car for 2 more years. He always had problems with it. Fortunately, he lived across the street from the office, so he could walk to work anyway. That was quite a place. Of the 6 people in my group, 3 had DUIs and another had been to re-hab. That left two of us as "normal", but the other guy was a vegetarian. Florida is whack.

Norm Peterson: [about his and Cliff's meal at The Hungry Heifer] Yeah, Cliffy had himself the tunnel T-bone. For less than four bucks, you get 24 ounces of USDA choice US bef. Cliff Clavin: Bef? You mean beef. Norm Peterson: Beef? Don't be ridiculous Cliffy, that stuff is bef. You see, it's a Hungry Heifer trademark for a processed, synthetic, what... , meat-like substance. Cliff Clavin: Ohh, Norm. Norm Peterson: What do expect for four bucks? Do you hear me complain about the loobster?

Watched 3x yesterday after I heard the news. Great camp mixed with awesome cult imagery, plus "Voyagers" star, Meeno Peluce. I can't help but believe that Star Trek got the idea of the Borg from this video. "We're off to the witch..."

She should shop at Aldi's. It's the anti-Wegmans, in a good way. They stick to the staples and do everything to keep costs as low as possible. Managers do everything from stocking shelves to cart-wrangling. If you want to understand why there are just a ton of items from which to choose, watch .

They never meant it to mean anything. Don Henley said it was "Junk Sculpture". Do with that what you will.

As a bald man, I'm offended. "His hair was perfect"? Puhleeeze! /not really //Love the G-D-F-C-G-C-G

Oh, and watch the first 20 seconds of this. (NSFW-language)

And I thought it meant to remove the weight of the packaging of the obstacles to get a true measure of what he was going to encounter. Truly visionary.

On Real Time, they had a photo from Barnum & Bailey's Freak show from 100 years ago. Fat Man That guy would barely make the cut at PoWM.

You're not going to believe this, but there was a time in America when this man was considered the definition of "Cool". It's true.

Question: Did you actually say "Booooya!!"? Follow up: Was there a celebratory dance involved?

This. Look at the $ spent as a sunk cost. Call it tuition in the college of life. Right now, you think of this as the worst thing that can ever happened to you. It's not. It will hurt for a while, then a little less, then you'll be fine. But yeah... fresh tail.

88. That's just under 50 years for the Bills to win a SB for me. Nuts.

Here's an article from last week on the subject. Palmer, Blyleven & Gossage discuss the topic of Baseball's Unwritten Rules.

If I was graduating high school this year, "No turkey, unless it's a club sandwich" would be my senior quote.

My friend is a total libertarian (small l). He lives in Singapore with his wife/kids. When his 1st boy was born, he wanted to open up a savings account. They were so persistent in asking for a SSN, he got up and walked out. A day later he started the process for getting him Italian citizenship. I don't think he'll ever come back to the US permanently, although he owns a business based in Las Vegas. Weird dude. Sent me this book.

For my 30th birthday, my buddies bought me a bat with the autographs of all of the (then) Phillies HOFers: Richie Ashburn Steve Carlton Robin Roberts Mike Schmidt I was looking at it yesterday when Jayson Werth hit that HR. Werth & Roberts are both originally from Springfield, IL. /I'm sure it was just a coincidence /Jim Bunning should have been there, too

I once saw a guy lose $2.7 million in a couple of seconds. He put the decimal in the wrong place. It happens.

This is the best advice you'll get here on the subject.* And yes, I'm in the biz. *That said, yes you can do it yourself. There is a wealth of information out there for free. You just have to find it.

A friend of a friend works in the entertainment industry in LA. I just found him on IMDb and he can best be described as a struggling actor. A few years a ago, he auditioned for what he thought was a dating reality show. He got paid a pittance, but he never heard back. The guy I know him through saw that clip on the Playboy Channel and called him. He laughed it off because it was just him telling someone what he liked in women, then they would show some girl that met the description stripping down. I saw him in Vegas a couple months after that at the bachelor party of said friend and he had added a couple credits to his resume. Tough gig, but he loves LA.

My question wasn't specific to the use of Tasers. You said you were a police officer, and I noted you are from Orlando. I was just curious about the fallout from that incident. You answered my question. Thanks. That's disconcerting. Judging from this video, he looks out of shape, but that's just my opinion. Chasing skinny 17 year-olds around can make a lot of people look foolish.

FWIW, gold is ~1.75 what it was 3 years ago. Using GLD (ETF which mimics gold prices): 5/2007: 65.54 5/2010: 115.18 (as of this post) Try to get around that for the setting. Or you could hold onto it for your second wife, but it would be much cooler if you pulled it out of your pocket during a poker game for an awesome check-raise. That would be bad-a$$.

I was at a football game when this happened in the parking lot. Was this your department? If so, is it a cautionary tale in the use of appropriate force? In your opinion, does the officer in this picture look to meet typical police physical fitness standards? I'm of the opinion that the kid probably deserved what he got. He ignored the instructions of a police officer which probably included "Stop or you're gonna get tased." It appears that it was just stadium security that went after . Plus he stopped when they got there probably winded from all those doughnuts.
