This is a game for America, this baseball!
In 1955, the Tigers own Ernie Harwell wrote a essay in The Sporting News that is the perfect way to kick off Opening Day. A Game For All America By Ernie Harwell Baseball is President Eisenhower tossing out the first ball of the season; and a pudgy schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm. Its the big league pitchers who sin in night clubs. And the Hollywood singer who pitches...

Are you following the presidential race? Not at all. You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton. His name is Barack?! Barack Obama, yeah. Barack?! Barack. What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa? Yeah, his dad is from Kenya. Barack Obama? Yeah. What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that...
Nipple ring search procedures faulty, TSA admits →
The woman involved — Mandi Hamlin — told reporters earlier Friday she was humiliated by last month’s incident, in which she was forced to painfully remove the piercings behind a curtain as she heard snickers from male TSA officers nearby. The TSA blog has already addressed the situation. Maybe TSA Bob can also give us a demonstration of this as well!
Mr. T Saves Lives →
The poorly kid fell unconscious in Detroit, Michigan in the mid-1980s - and the only physical movement he made was in response to hearing Mr. T’s name. So Mr. T’s in town and swings by the hospital. What happens next? …as I was walking down the hall, the kid suddenly came out of the coma and hollered out.

Illogical Irritation
ideachute: I know it’s ridiculous, but hearing someone chew their food can send me into fits of rage that make me want to jerk the food away from them, stomp it into tiny bits on the ground, and break their teeth with my fist-of-rage. It’s senseless. It’s ridiculous People chew. Some foods are noisy. I understand. But there you have it. ** ** This post inspired by T.’s Chipotle lunch … she’s...

Is society ready for a pregnant husband? →
To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I don’t appear in the least unusual. To those in the quiet Oregon community where we live, we are viewed just as we are — a happy couple deeply in love. Our desire to work hard, buy our first home, and start a family was nothing out of the ordinary. That is, until we decided that I would carry our child.

One thing I’ve never been fond of with this site was the design. I’m currently in the process of updating the look so if things are a little out of place for a bit, please forgive me. Also, I’d love a little feedback if there’s things you absolutely hate/love. Drop me a note. Thanks!

peterwknox: mattlehrer: Good luck! Please re-blog if you are entering.In. I need to be a part of something like this to justify all of the whining/winning I’ll be doing on here anyway. Count me in. I’m always game for some losing come tournament time.

Beautiful implementation of the Flickr API.
I came to the realization today that, for the first time in my life, people I consider friends have no idea what I look like without a beard. They’ve only known me as a bearded freak, not my usual nature-loving self.

Facebook founder heckled at web conference →
The news to me in this story is that the reporter, Matthew Sparkes, acutally quotes two twitter messages in it. “Never, ever have I seen such a train wreck of an interview,” claimed audience member, Jason Pontin, via Twitter. Of course, he had to quote Scoble as well, via Twitter. “The audience is asking Zuckerburg better questions than Lacy did,” said former Microsoft...

How can they do this to us? Two years in a row Detroit gets snubbed for an outdoor game. Last year, the finalists were Detroit and Buffalo and the NHL choose Buffalo. Next year, it’s New York and pitting our Wings in the game! Ugh. Salt in the wound Bettman, salt in the wound.

Yost Ice Arena is Michigan's hockey hot spot →
Yost fans are not as kind to opponents. It’s a long-standing tradition at Yost to ride the opposing goalie mercilessly. After a Michigan goal is scored, fans start pointing at the opposing goalie and yell, “Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!”
