The Baxter is coming…from the folks who brought us ‘Wet Hot American Summer’.

If you have the chance, let me highly recommend making a trek to Arizona for Spring Training baseball in the Cactus League. You can see the Angels, Cubs, Giants, Padres, and A’s, amongst others. If you’re a baseball fan in California, and you haven’t made this pilgrimage, all I [...]

Tony Pierce talks to an Army paratrooper

February 22, 2005

Tony Pierce has a great IM interview with a paratrooper who has served 2 tours (do they call them ‘tours’ still?) in Iraq over at the busblog.  It’s chalk full of good, meaningful, eye-opening exchanges, but I couldn’t help but gravitate towards this bit of self-deprecation by TP (writing as ‘dumbass’):
SSG Chris Paul: no airborne [...]

Tsunami uncovered ancient artifacts

February 14, 2005

What’s the over-under on some variation of this turning into a movie plot (I’ll even predict what movie it gets used for–the inevitable National Treasure 2, perhaps?). 
From a BBC News report (via BoingBoing):
The myths of Mahabalipuram were first set down in writing by British
traveller J Goldingham, who visited the South Indian coastal town in
1798, [...]

The Revenge of Tyra

You knew it was coming….the 4th installment of America’s Next Top Model is set to kick off on the UPN on Wednesday, March 2 at 8pm. 

Now if I can just figure out why they’ve decided to refer to it as "the fourth cycle of America’s Next Top Model"….are we trying to liken this to [...]

Props

January 23, 2005

Tiffany Evans, the young girl (15 years old I believe) who sang the National Anthem at the Steelers-Patriots game in Pittsburgh just delivered the most touching, stirring rendition of our National Anthem that I’ve ever heard.
Thanks Tiffany….you just made me feel all warm and fuzzy about being an American.

Rest in peace, Mr. Carson

January 23, 2005

You’ve probably heard by now, Johnny Carson passed away last night.
As someone who only caught the tail-end of Mr. Carson’s television legacy, I can’t begin to properly eulogize him and all he contributed to the media-dominated world we live in….but here’s a few folks who have done a pretty nice job of paying tribute:

Rose Bowl ‘05: An Instant Classic

I’ve been to many a football game in my years….I’ve never seen anything as crazy as the last 6 minutes of this football game.  The only thing this game was missing was some harsher inclement weather…..if there had been some rain or fluke Pasadena snow flurries, it’d be an immediate inductee into Top 5 of [...]
