Jon in Pasadena

No thanks.

Well, I wasn't into them when they were teeny-boppers, but I think they started their careers in another group, around age 10 or something. Definitely early 20's is young... but not underage. And their vibe these days is more spears & battle-flags, rather than lollipops and stuffed bears. The mixture of Kawaii (cute) and Metal (not cute) genres is something that I found interesting... Now if I'd put up a video of AKB48 or something, then I might have to concede your point! ?

Nope. The majority of their fans (like all metal groups I know of) are male. The fact that they are fronted by cute 20-something females probably does pull in more female fans than your average metal band.

I don't get it? There seemed to be a pretty even age distribution in the crowd. Plenty of girls, too. Cute ones, even.

Saw them in concert last week. Fun show.

According to my astronomer friends, it's actually a factor of 2 ... .... in the exponent.

So...she's still stalking you? ...and hogtie her before-hand.

Or.... hire Hines Ward away from the Jets to be our "Offensive Quality Control" coach ....?

Checking whether he should be used in their "heavy" package...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I saw.

Did Smoke sucker-punch a Bengal on the sidelines a few plays ago when they roughed him up a bit after a catch? Thought I saw it live, but no replay...?

It's OK -- he makes up for it by throwing dimes....

Especially when your MLB is playing "Twister" with the OG on the backside of the play...

Edmunds completely misplayed that.

Tonight I was watching an old episode of The Office with my 13-year old, and Michael Scott starts singing "Two Tickets to Paradise" and I commented that the guy who wrote the song just passed, and my kid turns to me and says "Eddie Money, right? I was floored.

Dead center. White. Car-shaped.

Are you sure it was a girl? ?

'Cause we know Ed Oliver can eat Russell Bodine alive? And he has a much better +/- than Ristolainen. ?

JA 9/11 for 102 yds.

Yeah, it's not what most people think of when you say "Japanese food", but it's true. Compared to the South Asian varieties, Japanese curry is a bit more like a spicy stew with a thick roux; very hearty and delicious. curry rice, katsu curry (breaded pork cutlet), and curry pan (soft bread rolls with curry filling) are the 3 big ones in my family.

Fun fact: Curry rice is actually one of the most commonly eaten dishes in Japan. It's the #1 comfort food for kids, so my wife cooks it quite often and I end up eating a ton of it, and yes it's yummy, though even the spiciest variant is not nearly as hot as Indian or Thai curries, which I also enjoy on occasion, along with Curry Laksa from Malaysia. Damn, now I'm hungry.

If it goes through your gut without being digested.... it might be?

I had exactly the same thought.
