random things today.  deal with it.

thanks to sparklegirl for sharing the newest david cross double-disc set.  hilarious stuff, i highly recommend it.  and it’s completely unrelated to Arrested Development, so don’t dismiss it because of my obsession with that show.

you went to my college?  really?  no…  really??

so new york islanders goalie garth snow retires…  to become the general manager of the new york islanders.  has anything like that ever happened before?  it’s sorta similar to the concept of player-manager (pete rose, bill russell), but still seems strange. 

okay, this one is stale, but i need to vent:  ESPN should be changed to WLtFECST.  (that’s “We Love to Fellate East Coast Sports Teams.”)  so on friday, june 16th, the twins had just gotten done sweeping the (then East-leading) boston red sox.  i was watching sportscenter while getting ready in the morning and the highlight package consisted of the following:

• Ortiz RBI hit
• Youkilis double
• ManRam dogging it in the outfield
• Ortiz hitting a monster foul ball
• ManRam strikes out

granted, that last one (briefly) showed joe nathan, but that’s how they choose to spin the highlights of the game.  pricks.  although i do feel bad about the hateful shit i wished on peter gammons that day.

pam is getting married to kid rock.  i really think this is one is going to work out for her.  oh, and five coolness points to whomever can diagram this out in visio: 

This is the second time Anderson and Rock (born Robert Ritchie) have become engaged to one another.  The couple, who began dating in 2001, split up back in 2003 — one year after he’d asked for her hand in marriage; they have dated off and on ever since. Anderson had also been engaged to model Marcus Schenkenberg before their 2001 breakup. Anderson was married to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee for three years before the couple — who have two sons — divorced in 1998. They married on February 19, 1995, after knowing one another for a mere 96 hours. Anderson filed for divorce — and later reconciled with Lee — twice during the couple’s marriage.

Although wadE hates blogs, so if I were nicer I wouldn’t call our site a blog. But I’m not, so he can live with it.

Anyways… just a little shameless self-promotion from yours truly. You’re welcome. I have started up a little mini-offshoot from the SP tree. It is located here. Unlike this here main version of SP (which we really are intending to make less blog-ish, going forward), my own section will be unabashedly bloggy, and it will contain items that I will deem either too trivial, stupid, or personal to have published here instead. It will also be where I revive such fun ideas as The Card Project, and I’ll also keep a blogroll of ‘cool kids’ – links to other sites where you can further waste time here in the vast tubes of the internets.

So come play along if you wish. End PSA.
