Post Your Desktop
First off, apologies if any of you noticed yesterday\’s down-time. Apparently our host\’s database server had some problems or somesuch. Basically, it wasn\’t our fault. (Of course.) So for today… just a cheap filler topic that I like to throw out there from time to time. I post a screen grab of my current computer…

\”I said no camels! That\’s five camels!\”
I thought I\’d take the time today to direct your attention to a pair of time-sinks. First on the list: The Best of Craigslist. Even if you don\’t know what Craigslist is, nor how it works, just click yourself on a link that sounds interesting, because chances are it probably will be. I\’d suggest starting…

Ahoy, Matey! Where be the dr- aaaaaugh!
This link should tell you everything you ever wanted to know about why the Pittsburgh Pirates are a cursed franchise. The upcoming baseball draft will be the first one ever to be televised, and the Pirates have chosen the following folks to be the face of their franchise: Steve Blass. Trevor Gooby. Whoa. Steve Blass?!…

RIP, CNR
Tony Award winner, and long time SP favorite Charles Nelson Reilly passed over the long weekend of complications from pneumonia. He was 76. Seriously, a Tony Award? I did not know that.

\”So kids, do you think hippos sweat blood?!\”
That\’s the question posed to me the other day at lunch. By my milk carton. Ok, I\’ll grant you that\’s not the exact phrasing, but frankly it was close to that. Who am I to resist the (eventual) exploration of the topic? As it turns out, they don\’t. It\’s an oily red secretion that in…

I ask you…
In light of this story, I only have one question. Why didn\’t they interview me about the Waffle? 🙂

It\’s been too serious here lately…
…and so I give you, via Deadspin, via With Leather: The Running of the Urinals! It\’s sort of like a hilbilly Most Extreme Elimination. You\’re welcome.

Yes, it\’s another installment of links. I\’d apologize, but I\’ll just point out that I could do worse for you. 🙂 Here\’s a nice story of a prank gone… well, not wrong, but perhaps astray. It\’s a good read, and perhaps the morale of the story is that just because something sounds funny, it doesn\’t…

What I Do #2
I never did get around to commenting on wadE\’s post of the same title, so lucky readers, you get to get my slant on the same idea. What a country, eh?

To the depths of the internet. . . and back!
And of course by that I mean I\’ll be throwing a lot of links at you today. You\’re welcome. This is just such a jarring visual. It\’s hard to get past how odd it looks… but by all means congratulations to that man. I\’m very impressed that he had the talent to play special teams.…
