Here's one Yale-ish response:

It's worth reading the article he responds to. A few of the other runners-up are pretty decent. Also, someone please comment on who this kid (orange shirt) looks like.

I knew Charlie was a quitter, but... Mike? Alex? Zach? Andy? Bobby?

The Buffalo Theory...

In one episode of "Cheers", Cliff is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here it is, for your enjoyment:

"Well, you see Norm, it's like this...

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the lowest and weakest onles at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and heald of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

those assholes wouldn't know talent if it bit em in the ass

so i was asked to compete in the mr. cc competition a couple hours before the show, and the whole thing is like a beauty competition with a formal wear, swim wear and talent part, and for my talent i played "come to my window" by melissa etheridge acoustic on guitar hero and i wasnt even a selected as a finalist by the judges. all politics. well, there's always next year. at least im the 600th post.

Great sunday song for hibernation/recovery

it's called impossible by the shout out louds, remix by the studio.

hoot really made all those comments worth it with that PS

follow up from a couple posts a while back: this is from buccigross' excellent column of "you ask, they answer," in which he sends fan questions to nhl'ers. the latest segment is with roenick:

Question: You are the single most dominant NHLPA '93 player of all time, it's not even close (as immortalized in the movie "Swingers"). I used to rack up 17-0 victories with the Blackhawks and you'd walk away with 17 goals. It was so unfair, my buddies and I created the "no Roenick rule" to even the playing field.

My questions are a) Did you know how dominant you were in video-game form? b) If you did know, is that something you hold over fellow real-life teammates/opponents? c) Does it make you sad that you never scored 17 goals in an NHL game?

Answer: My biggest claim to fame is my '93 Sega Genesis "domination." I have more people compliment me on my video-game ability than my actual real-life ability. People tell me they have gotten through college by being JR and the Blackhawks and wagering on the games. I have also heard about the "no Blackhawk rule."

Wilmette Bowl IV

After Wilmette Bowl IV was canceled last year due to Global Warming, the town awaits the decision to hold the game once again. Fans and players both want the game to resume, but it's not that easy. There are many factors in play here. Will the inconsistent Zach Novak be able to finally stand up to his parents at age 22 and be able to stay the whole game? Are there going to be any additions or subtractions to teams? Does the West Side even want to play, or are they scared that quarterback Charlie Herrmann finally started puberty? So guys, it's on the table. Everyone needs to respond to this post, we need to get an idea of whats gonna happen. Let the trash talking begin!
