Talking Football
Me: Was this what you were talking about when you were commenting on the new Panthers logo? http://onion.com/zmazwN
HelpHelp: Yup! I don't see it. Did they change the whiskers or something?
Me: No, they added a QB who could demolish the rookie QB passing record, and still manage to have a losing season.
HelpHelp: Oh, is he the one who does backwards half-somersaults to score touchdowns? Or am I thinking of some running back somewhere?
Me: Well, DeShawn Jackson likes to do flips where he leaves the ball at the goal line. If you're thinking of Ahmad Bradshaw, he likes to do the, cross-arm, "I don't wanna play no more," squat-into-the-end-zone.
HelpHelp: I think you misspelled "mo" by adding r-e.
Me: Now you're being racist.

RogCity Fitness aka “The Bon Iver workout DVD” is here! Nothing pumps me up more than For Emma, Long Ago. I swear I could do 50 pushups right now during re:Stacks!

high five?

Bartender last night referred to me as one of her regulars. For someone who is normally rather forgettable, this was a pretty big milestone.
Now what?
You now have the honor of ordering, “The usual.” Enjoy it sir.

I will not be able to unclench for a week.
Tonight at Sing Sing we played the Karaoke Game
Here’s what I picked:
The song to be played at my funeral: As I Lay Me by Sophie B Hawkings
The song my parents taught me: Heart of Rock and Roll by Huey Lewis & The News
The song I’m embarrassed I know the words to: K-Ci & Jo Jo’s classic All My Life
M’lady lost her voice an hour and 15 minutes in. Victory.

Space Jam was staged?? →
Blanko, the Shawn Bradley Monstar, failed to register a single stat throughout the course of the game. Even in a world where Elmer Fudd has a 40-inch vertical, Bradley’s “talent” can’t muster even a shot attempt. This is the most realistic aspect of the movie.

Chuck Klosterman on tUnE-yArDs →
This sentence is 100% true:
“The only thing I knew was that the words ‘Tune Yards’ were spelled ‘tUnE-yArDs,’ which seemed like reason enough to ignore it (not a good reason, but a reason nonetheless)
w h o k i l l is still a fantastic album, and Merrill Garbus still puts on a fantastic show, but that sentence is still absolutely correct.

You know, I would place getting rich pretty low on my list of ambitions. I would love to have more money than I currently do, but really, I just want to be fiscally comfortable. But looking at this house does something to my brain that floods all of my fairweather socialist tendencies with OH MY GOD LET’S ALL GET RICH WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH BEING THE 1% AAAH AAAH AAAH THAT...

Lost Subway Map →
Yes, WNYC, I will read and listen to almost anything about lost of forgotten subway lines and terminals as I find it endlessly fascinating. If you did not hear the story this morning, check it out here. The part at the end about FDR’s personal train station under Grand Central is a mind blower.

Have you ever heard a grown man yelp at the gym...
I joined a gym yesterday, and I had my first meeting with a trainer today. She kicked my ass, made me realize I don’t have what they call a, “core,” and above all, taught me how to kegel. Now I am the human equivalent of a puddle of mud, and I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. With bikini season right around the corner, the next time we hang out, just FYI, I might...
