Boutaoshi - King of the Hill On Steroids
This game looks sweet! Anyone want to start a Tuesday night league?
Maverick Carter Is Going To Hell
There's a new book coming out May 24th titled Those Guys Get To Have All The Fun.
It's about all the shenanigans going on at ESPN. I will definitely be buying it.
I saw this gem from the book about Lebron's "The Decision" and thought I'd share:
JIM GRAY (interviewer in "The Decision"):
"...by the end of the conversation, I said, 'Better yet, Maverick, why don't we do this: Why don't we go buy an hour of network time, you produce the show, you own the show, I get to do the interview, and you have LeBron make the announcement of where he's going to go.' Before I got the last three words out of my mouth, Ari said, 'That's a brilliant idea. That's unbelievable. Maverick, you ought to do that!' Then Maverick looked at Ari and said, ‘Okay. You want to handle it?' Ari said, ‘Yeah, that's great, let's do this.' Maverick then said, 'You know what, we can raise a bunch of money for charity, so that no one will think LeBron is going to profit from this.' Then Maverick told me to stay in touch with him, And Ari, and that was that."

Do You Want Smokes With That?
My Uncle, a chiropractor who runs a health and wellness center,
says it's equally unhealthy to eat a french fry than it is to smoke a cigarette.

Michael Myers Pervert Will Make You Shiver/Likes Your Pee
So get this. This guy:
went into women's restrooms wearing this:
in order to "listen to women going to the toilet for sexual gratification".
Thank you, Joel Hardman, for redefining the word CREEP.

You Don't See That Everyday
Reposted from Itwonlast:
Situated in the center of Osaka, the 32,000-seat Osaka stadium was the former home
ground of the Nankai Hawks baseball team. In 1988, the Hawks were sold to Daiei Group
and moved to Fukuoka City. As the three remaining teams in Metro Osaka got their own
stadiums, Osaka stadium went bankrupt and was soon converted to a sample housing
showground. The stadium was eventually demolished in 1998 and a shopping center was
built in its place.
Book on Order - The Information by James Gleick
Will soon be reading The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood by James Gleick.
Check out Gleick's blog Bits in the Ether.
Tornado Alley Safer for Tornadoes than Mobile Home Alley
Interesting graphic showing that Tornado Alley produces the most tornadoes
in the U.S. but most deaths from tornadoes happen East of Tornado Alley.

$4 Billion of Taxpayer Money to Oil Co.'s Doesn't Matter
Reposted from Boing Boing:
Sarah Palin and Rep. James Lankford defended $4 billion in Federal subsidies to the
booming oil sector, saying that giving billions in taxpayer dollars to profitable companies
wasn't fiscally irresponsible, since $4 billion is "just a drop in the bucket" when compared
to the total deficit. Some drop: it's 120,000% larger than the NPR funding House
Republicans were anxious to eliminate in the name of balancing the budget. Thousands
for public media: bad. Billions for oil barons: good.

Skills. This shot is so incredible I find it hard to believe that it's even real.

A happy day for all the families who have been affected by him.
