Up. I've mentioned it before, but one of my favorite descriptions of Pangaea comes from an amazon review: "This is what Godzilla really sounded like trashing Tokyo."

Palmer is frequently lambasted for being a horrible ref. Now, I usually don't pay attention to who's refereeing games so I can't comment on whether it's because of: 1. Standard bitching about refs in the NBA 2. Palmer really being a horrible ref or 3. Chauvinism/sexism among sports fans (I'm sure this has something to do with it)

I thought this book review from The Economist (Should the "the" be italicized?) was fascinating:

Hitchens is a "clever" writer and obviously an intelligent guy, but I find him hard to take seriously.* His opinions on everything are so extreme/over-the-top, and he's perfectly willing to resort to well-written sophistry to make a point. In addition, I find him to be a little light on substance. His columns are very enjoyable to read if you agree with him. Guy *I'm sure you can search the politics forum and find that I was singing a different tune a few years ago.

In the liner notes to Dewey Redman's The Ear of the Behearer, Robert Palmer writes: Which saxophonist was Palmer talking about? I believe the album came out in the mid-1970s. Guy ps In the notes, Dewey comments on the tune "Sunlanding": "As for the title, landing on the sun will be a real accomplishment."

Well, it doesn't look like Jackson will be suspended. Phew. It's the second-most boring series in the playoffs, but I caught a bit of the Pistons-Magic 1st quarter and Dwight Howard had a SICK dunk. The Rockets could give the Spurs a run in the "most boring-to-watch elite team" department. Guy

Chris Wood was a TERRIBLE saxophonist. Guy

Well, at least he didn't shoot anyone. I hope he's not suspended next game. Adonal Foyle playing his first ever playoff game! One of the top 100 centers in the NBA. Guy

Baron Davis is an idiot... Guy

Spurs are dominating the Nuggets. Carmelo and AI are big-time chuckers today. Guy

CLASSIC!!!

Some of my favorite fish from back when I had a tank were these little gouramis. Also those little corydoras (or whatever they were called) catfish. I never had a tank bigger than 20 gal so I never had a chance to get some of the more interesting cichlids. Guy

Well, Phil's getting paid a lot of money to tarnish his own legacy. Guy

Don Nelson on tonight's game:

I think it's very unlikely that Miami will get swept -- about even money that they win the next two games. Guy

Hopefully they'll be on vacation soon. Deng was fantastic tonight. Barbaro is having another great game. Guy

An important point. While some other BN artists were making cookie-cutter, by-the-numbers albums during this period, it seems like most of Andrew's were intended to be unique statements. Guy

I'm really looking forward to the day that Bonds destroys Aaron's old record. All those heads exploding... Guy

Scott Skiles and Big Daddy almost got into a fistfight once.

Awesome. One of my buddies had an Oscar cichlid that would eat out of his hand! Guy

SS1, How often do you clean your tank? Do you have plastic or real plants? Guy

I think I used to have one of these when I was a teenager. A nasty little fucker, he attacked my other fish. Guy

Woah, sorry dude. No intent to offend. Guy

This is a nice date... nothing earthshaking, but nice. Guy
