Unless I hit a dinger, I was never sure which base I got to.

And more importantly, WTF is a beer engine and why should I care? Thanks to this OR blog.

Thinking About Getting a Haircut

I need the money:

To celebrate the release of their new caffeinated Butterfinger Buzz candy bar, the company is hosting a free event at Chicago Buzz barbershop on 124 S. Franklin Street on Thursday, February 12 from 7 to 10pm. The catch: To earn a $100 gift card, you dudes have to get a buzz cut and have the company's logo spray-painted on your new 'do. (You'll also be entered for the chance to win a trip for four to Las Vegas for two nights, a year's supply of Butterfinger candy bars and a $2,500 gift card.) Hosts promise the orange color will wash out in time for Valentine's Day.

UPDATE.

Michael Phelps ROCKS!

Here’s a crazy thought: If I can smoke a little dope and go on to win 14 Olympic gold medals, maybe pot smokers aren’t doomed to lives of couch surfing and video games, as our moronic government would have us believe. In fact, the list of successful pot smokers includes not just world class athletes like me, Howard, Williams, and others, it includes Nobel Prize winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, the last three U.S. presidents, several Supreme Court justices, and luminaries and success stories from all sectors of business and the arts, sciences, and humanities.

Just Got Back From the Dentist

Not me, this kid:

UPDATE

Yup...

Bourdain:

"I'm ambivelent (sic) about a lot of places, but I am unrestrained in my love for Chicago. Only Chicago could convince me that the New York hot dog was not, in fact, anywhere near the apex of the hot dog arts. (The Chicago Red Hot deserves that honor) . Two respectably old school baseball teams, great, great bars, a tradition of unapproachably good and important music, its own, truly imposing style of architecture, an attitude both big city wise-ass and heartland lack of bullshit, a city open to the best and most excessive/creative of new, experimental cooking styles, loaded with great chefs (many of whom are pals), it's simply another place I'll use any excuse to visit. Tonight's episode was just such an excuse."

For What It's Worth...

...this was my favorite.

Yes Lew, It IS Interesting...

This ad caught my eye. People were talking while it was playing and I didn't get to hear the set-up but there was something about this ad that made me uneasy.

Thanks to Lew, now I know why.

A nice little article on Steve Martin and his banjo skills.

I'm a Little Speechless

For once, someone blames their Jeezus. Super Bowl XXXXIII loser, Kurt Warner:

"I always credit God for my victories and earlier this week I said I had an advantage in tonight's game because of the power of Jesus. Clearly, however, Jesus let me down. And so I am not responsible for tonight's loss. If you want someone to blame, this one is 100% on the man upstairs."

BTW, it's satire.
