The actual Noj for comparison...

Jon Abbey at JC started a great thread a while back about this book, which makes for a very entertaining read and homage to this HOFer. RIP Phil.

I have the Rhino Doo Wop Box.

Happy Birthday, man!

Snipes as Thelonious to film's antagonist: "Always bet on Monk."

My childhood crush has just been renewed. It's like falling in love all over again.

You don't, felser? C'mon, Braxton wore this crazy little hat: ...and a radiation suit and he was whipping the clothes off this lil' vixen.

Who? No wait, not quite right...

Jazzmoose, Jazzmoose. (Doing my best Chris Olivarez impersonation)

They lifted that whole bass line from The Whatnauts "Help Is On The Way." The original bass line for this one is Liquid Liquid "Cavern."

Boil 'em in the broth.

1. Drink LOTS of water. Constantly. Then drink some more. 2. Make meat the smallest portion of your meal. 3. GREEN salads (not iceberg letttuce) 4. Veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, squash, zucchini, and asparagus can be prepared in many different ways (a great one for tasty broccoli and cauliflower is to cook them in chicken broth) 5. Speaking of chicken broth, homemade soups are great! 6. A baked potato makes a great meal on its own, with a few fixins. 7. More fish, less red meat and chicken.

Don't worry SS1, the Raiders offense will likely be miserable again. A new QB, offensive line coach, and not much more will not be enough to turn the tide for my boys. If Cleveland can score two TDs they'll likey post a W over Oakland. You're not going to beat the Pats. Sorry.

Yep. Just drag them into iTunes or the audio program of your choice and burn away.

FWIW, I'd measure a few of Common's verses from his first two albums against any rap...well, ever.

I may have to check out Common's last two, given the positive reviews here. I've been very much out of the hip hop loop. I still have Common's first few albums. It's an interesting contrast to hear him on Can I Borrow A Dollar? and Resurrection vs. everything that followed. Those early albums easily have his funniest lyrics, when he wasn't playing the role of the "conscious rapper."

I've heard this cited as a defense of Bonds' performance. If the performance-enhancing supplements were this rampant, it stands to reason that many of the pitchers he was facing who were also cranked up on something. I'm not saying I agree with it, but it's not really fair to give one guy hell and not shell it out to everyone else too.

Yes, the "Fire Joe Morgan" blog is one of the funnier sports-related reads I've had this year.

I'm hoping the Raiders approach .500, but they'll probably suck again.

Happy Birthday, Shawn!

Just sneakers and grip tape (like sandpaper).

Worst. Fall. Ever. It's tough to believe Jake Brown walked away from this.

I mostly just sit here and seethe with jealousy when you post something like this, JSngry.
