Sometimes things just keep getting worse.

So the Trojans are having problems with their protective equipment. Irony anyone?

Touche 

Don't think it will slow them, as that old sports section headline reminds us:

Trojans roll on.

Apologies for recycling ...

   A crusty old man walks into a local  Church and says to the secretary, 'I would like to join this damn church.'

   The astonished woman replies, 'I beg your pardon, sir. I must have misunderstood you. What did you say?'

   'Listen up, damn it. I said I want to join this damn church!'

   'I'm very sorry sir, but that kind of language is not tolerated in this church.

   'The secretary leaves her desk and goes into the pastor's study to inform him of her situation.

   The pastor agrees that the secretary does not have to listen to that foul language.

   They both return to her office and the pastor asks the old geezer, 'Sir, what seems to be the problem here?'

   'There is no damn problem,' the man says. 'I just won $200 million in the damn lottery and I want to join this damn church to get rid of some of this damn money. '

   'I see,...' said the pastor. 'And is this bitch giving you a hard time?'

Pretty amazing place. Was roaming around the hutongs last night and stopped by a little place. Got four chicken skewers, some seasoned toast (on a stick to make this Minny guy feel at home) and a big bomber of Tsingtao beer.

Total price: 12 RMB or about $1.75.

Chicken is never that cheap. 

(Glad to hear you having fun and a bit jealous - it would be a good time)

I need to consult the greater wisdom of the MIAC board.

AOL has a feature on Elvis this weekend (like everyone else...)
Here is the link.

In slide #9 of 11, there are four artists in the Million Dollar Quartet.

Do I see Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash in the Michael Ochs picture?

Thanks

Yup, quite a quartet.  Here is a video of Carl at that time in his career. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLcLXM8zSPo&feature=related

The 'Million Dollar Quartet,' December 1956: It was a Carl Perkins recording session at Sun Records. Elvis stopped by to see what's happening -- this was a year after he left Sun for RCA. Jerry Lee Lewis was always hanging around the studio -- he hadn't quite made it yet. So the three of them started goofing around, and [Sun Studio owner] Sam Phillips was smart enough to leave the tape running. After awhile, Sam realized the was an amazing occurrence, so he calls Johnny Cash and says, "Get over here quick!" So Cash comes over, and Sam calls the Memphis Press-Scimitar [newspaper] to send a reporter over right away, and they sent one with a photographer, fortunately.

Just watched womens weight lifting, super heavy weight division on the Olympics. If you get a chance to catch some of this on replay, don't.

Does ".300 by season end" mean he has to finish above .300 or does it just mean he has to break .300 at some point?  We may have a 'depends on the meaning of is' moment here that will break TDT's way.  It all hinges on the preposition used in making the bet: at or by.  If it was by, I think there may be a reasonable argument in favor of TDT.

Schnobrich finishes with a bronze in the 8 man rowing.  The Kanuks went out really hard and held on by half a boat.  The Brits pipped us at the finish by just a few inches.

I wonder if repete was at this event.

Might explain why I haven't seen a rat ....

Here's USA's heavyweight lifter competing in the snatch.



A korean woman won it. Wonder what she's going to do with it?
