Jon in Pasadena

Please tell me this is just hyperbole. Otherwise, all I can say is "hats off" to whoever boosted the efficiency of the vomiting process to 100%. Don't even need to ingest/regurgitate anymore. Just bottle the puke straight up, and call it a day.

My kid is gonna be the starting inside LB on his HS varsity team this season. I've been feeding him a steady dose of Matt Milano video highlights to show him how the best 'backers is the game today play consistently at a high level. When he watched that crushing shot, his eyes lit up and he said "I'm gonna get me one of those this year!"

Something about 1,000s of tiny classified ads, something, something, profit !!

And Tanaka makes it 4-0 Japan on a spectacular individual effort after subbing in. Wow. Spain dominated TOP, but couldn't really create any real threats at all, while the Japanese counter-attack is lethal.

Hinata again. 3-0 Japan. Spain has no answer for the speed of the Japanese forwards.

And now a pretty (if a tad flukey) second goal from Ueki off the counter-attack. 2-0 Japan

Japan strikes first. Perfect through pass by Endo. And clinical finish by Hinata. Spain looks pissed.

I like garlic and I like hummus, but I gotta say after trying every variety under the sun, I prefer the OG regular hummus. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice on that stuff, consume with warm pita and feel the tingle!

That is one fast-moving tree. Somebody must have really triggered the Ents...

In the year of the scavenger, the season of the b!tch Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch Just another future song, lonely little kitsch (There's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow I'll keep a friend serene (Will they come?) Oh baby, come unto me(Will they come?) Well, she's come, been and gone Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

I was not too impressed with the level of soccer displayed in that game. Except for Sophia Smith. She's an outstanding goalscorer. Later on I watched Japan vs. Zambia, and it was night-and-day compared to U.S./Vietnam. Now granted that the level of the competition was extremely low, but the Japanese women still took care of their business properly, and curb-stomped them as they should. I don't know if Nadeshiko can pull off a repeat of 2011 when they won it all, but I expect them to make it pretty far into this tournament.

I had the opposite reaction. I thought he looked done like dinner.

I feel like he might have had a shot, but as I recall the knee injury in training camp wasn't fixable.

"Breaking: Young kid with fast new car drives car fast. News at 11"

Someone who didn't know any better might call what I do "golfing."

I remember when we drafted him that I thought Avion Black was a cool name. Like a Blackbird (airplane). I used to run around holding my arms out making airplane noises, shouting "Look at me! I'm Avion!"

I prefer this Wichita woman:

According to pro football reference, Crowder took 93 offensive snaps last season for the Bills and had 6 receptions for 60 yards before he broke his foot and was done.

Well, obviously.

He can go into the "Hall of Fame of Players Who Had a Great First 6 Years in the League"

Sorry I wielded you out. I was going for "weirded" out, but I suck at Wordle, apparently. I blame the XVI th emperor. (The meditative one.)

He should have tried them all on in the fitting room then left their distorted, shredded remnants with the attendant: "Nope, these are definitely not my size!"

And he's an only child, so that's saying something!
