Mickey Boston Red Sox

Now this is how you design a Mickey Mouse statue. Ben Affleck may be many things to many people, but at least he's a die-hard Boston fan.

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY - CRYSTAL UPSET BY CELLPHONES

"So I finish the show, I come out, it was really hard to do, they gave me a great ovation... I said, `Ladies and gentlemen, you've been a great audience except we had 12 cellphones go off, so for the 12 of you who may have ruined it for these other people, the next time you go into a theatre... don't put on your cellphone, I was very kind, turn it off or don't take them, or simply shove them up your a**.' It's just horrible."

Pat's Original Cheesesteak

Accept no substitute. Mmmmm..brought one home to Orlando...well I tried. We ate it about an hour later.

The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA)


Go here and be amazed. What I respect the most about this site is that they take the illusion to the deepest corners, lampooning all aspects of the art world, from press releases to news conferences to gala gallery openings. $6.50 reward money for a stolen painting is priceless...er...

This is a great town. I'll live here soon enough, when I can do it right.

My buddy Pauly sent this to show me his gas mask. Pretty stylin'.

How long is too long?

What if you work your entire career for a single company..from 20 to 65? I'd like a $1000 for each year of service as a bonus. That would be a nice retirement gift.

How about a bronze statue instead?

Tae-Kwon-do. It was staring us in the face all this time. So simple.

I feel stupid.

This is beautiful. I have no photo credit here, thanks to the anonymity of e-mail forwarding. There is a whole set out there somewhere.

Surprise!

He was 'red', his wife was 'hot', and his kid was a 'chili pepper'. The best part? It wasn't a costume party. It was a surprise party for him.

Disney Airliners in Japan

Japan Airlines (JAL) is much more lax when it comes to custom paint jobs on their airliners. There are dozens of beautiful planes like this one all over the Far East. Disney has 4 or 5 alone.

Atlantis breaking the sound barrier during liftoff

I don't know which launch this was, but the photo is spectacular. I also do not have a credit for this picture as it was sent anonymously in e-mail. Does anyone have a link to the photographer?

srb separation

Similar photo, from much earlier launch. I don't know which shuttle this is, but it is a telescopic shot of the impressive SRB separation. This was forwarded to me a few years ago by an ex-NASA employee who worked with me. He, in turn, got it from the photographer at NASA, who took the shot with his personal equipment.

Seller's market for high-end homes - Nightly News with Brian Williams - MSNBC.com

“There are no bargains,� said Bell. “And it is not a buyer’s market. It has continued to be a seller’s market.�

Pamela Copeman is caught in that catch-22. “The good news is that our home has appreciated and it’s worth a mint," she said. "The bad news is that anything we’re looking at is worth a mint and a half.�


Welcome to my house shopping nightmare.

Name your subdivision

There are some great mysteries in this world. One is where they come up with car names. Another, to be solved here, is where developers come up with original, yet generic-sounding subdivision/neighborhood names. Below, I have compiled a handy do-it-yourself neighborhood namer. If you ever find yourself in need, put my table to the test. Choose one from each column and you're on your way. Enjoy!

Greeeeeeed!

The NHL Lockout has got to be the most laughable thing of all time. It think it's hilarious that millionaires would lock themselves out of their multi-million $ livelihoods, for any reason. Even more laughable:

"This is a sad, regrettable day that all of us wish could have been avoided," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said.

"Every day that this thing continues we don't think it's good for the game," NHLPA executive director Bob Goodenow said in Toronto.

No shit!? So which is it...It's not good for the game to a) NOT PLAY or b) fight publicly about who gets a larger slice of the millions of dollars generated by an overblown sport in the first place. How about both?

Hockey was already a distant fourth on the popularity scale among the nation's major-league sports. The NHL lost the first season of its two-year broadcasting agreement with NBC that was supposed to begin this season, a revenue-sharing deal in which the network is not even paying rights fees.


Classic.

I pulled a random CBS Sportsline article for stupid quotes.
