guess where the son of the Olive Garden reviewer works?
My gut instinct was Applebees, Olive Garden was the sucker’s choice. Dennys was also in the mix of candidates.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:26 AM
Fucking shame how the careers of Oden and Brandon Roy ended up. Blazers fans deserve better.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:27 AM
Ashley Judd, who is rumored to have gotten some work done …
She makes Bob Costas wife look natural. The only thing she ever did of note was not welch on Val Kilmer after Hank Azaria got caught up in great a$$.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:28 AM
Meghan McCain talked to Playboy
But didn’t get naked
Mary Steenburgen > Ashley Judd
I’d say so too. That said, Ashley Judd in her prime >>> most girls.
Bill Plaschke is not happy the Lakers traded Derek Fisher.
Don’t get this. Everyone agreed that Fisher was on his last leg. Wasn’t that the whole point of making a move for Chris Paul?
March 16th, 2012 at 8:31 AM
Don’t be surprised if Linsanity ends sooner than later in New York.
So…no MVP?
March 16th, 2012 at 8:33 AM
I think TBL should have commentators pass an IQ and spelling test before they are allowed to leave comments.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:33 AM
Kentucky State Senator wants UPS to pull its Christian Laettner ad.
I’ve been bitter about Laettner hitting that shot for a while. When he stomped that Kentucky player in the chest & was allowed to stay in the game, I thought it was a traveshamockery. Boo Laettner, that bitch.
Don’t be surprised if Linsanity ends sooner than later in New York. Ultimately, blame Carmelo.
The whole “they played bad teams during Linsanity” card was kinda silly, to me. You play whoever was on the sched. The bad teams have pros also. Any five of us matched up against Charlotte would get waxed.
Maybe the team is fatally flawed for this year, but watching Lin play & help the team win was more entertaining than watching ‘Melo play while the team lost.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:34 AM
So he just made the argument that Derek Fisher should be a Laker forever. Everything has to end. What a dildo.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:35 AM
Ashley Judd, who is rumored to have gotten some work done
I’m all alone here, but in the times I saw her on screen, I never thought she was all that. Mebbe it’s me. I’ve seen better in my local Wal-Mart.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:36 AM
Agree completely.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:36 AM
It’s basically the easiest column that Plaschke could write.
Fisher left the Lakers once, and he’s been horrible this year, so yea- not a big deal at all that they traded him. You could argue for keeping him around, but I read an argument about how there’s no way Fisher would like sitting on the bench behind Sessions and Blake (which begs the question as to how good of a leader Fisher really is if he expects to play a lot despite the fact that he sucks). I’m just amazed that Kupchak was able to trade Luke Walton and Derek Fisher.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:36 AM
I love UK fans still getting riled up over Laettner and that stomping thing, the perfect game and ultimate shot. He did you dirty three ways to sundown.

Oh c’mon man! Ashley Judd in “Kiss the Girls” was darn near perfect.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
Hyperbole! I have never seen a chick half as hot as Ashley Judd at any Wal-Mart I’ve ever walked into. Except for my wife, of course.
/that was close
March 16th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
It’s relevant though. If you beat a bunch of bad teams and lose to a bunch of good teams, your more than likely a very average team regardless of all the hype going on when you’re beating the bad team.
There was a collection of commenters on here that were a little irritated with Linsanity, and kept a level head throughout. They realized the level of competition the Knicks were playing, and that it was incredibly unlikely that Lin would keep it up. Those commenters were given shit for this line of logical thinking.
Meanwhile, TBL was writing posts about how Lin might be able to win MVP. At this point, Linsanity is exactly where many of us believed it would regress to.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
Yeah…and I have to work tomorrow. Oh well, I’ll let it rip tomorrow night.

March 16th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
TK, no hype. Lotsa Colorado girls are pretty, in an outdoorsy, fresh-scrubbed way.
chicago, the truth will bear out. Every season has its ebbs and flows. Guys go on hot streaks, opponents build a file of strengths and weaknesses, then counter. Sports are chock full of guys adjusting. To me, it’s fun to watch a player add to his game, in ways that help his team win.
I’d like to see Lin work on his game, make the adjustments, and become a solid pro with a long career. It remains to be seen, however.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
No internet/phone or cable at home since around 2 yesterday afternoon. Probably the first day of tourney action that I did not watch a single minute of basketball … since maybe 1980 or earlier. Ugh.

Went to the driving range on lunch yesterday. It’s drizzling as I drive over but when I get there, it stops and I am the only person there – PERFECT. Two shots in, some kid shows up, gets in the range stall exactly next to me and CHAOS ensues, his first time swinging a club.

Tornado hit in Dexter…about 8-10 miles from my house and about 2 or 3 miles from where I work. Some friends and colleagues had damage to their homes. We had significant hail during the storm, but no damage. Crazy shit.
March 16th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Agreed. I think he’ll be a solid starter/6th man in the NBA, but he’s got work to do, and he’s certainly not a 28 and 8 on 50+% shooting type of player.
March 16th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
Right, for the two seconds a day when they’re doing something cute like jumping in a bouncy chair. The rest of the time the fucking suck.

March 16th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
Sorry I forgot my sarcasm font.
I absolutely think the NBA is a much more complex, team oriented, and impressive brand of basketball than college. Love college ball, but it’s no contest in my opinion. I’m a huge NBA guy.
March 16th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
No, but I have noticed that my generation (25-35) cant do shit especially if you have any type of education, yet all my friends and my dad are fucking master craftsman, carpenters, and mechanics all in one.
March 16th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
Ha first world problems I know. I had bought a small bucket b/c I didnt want to be there long or over-do it (I’ve been sick). I really wanted to tell the kid to hit the bricks, but I just showed him a grip and told him to quit the baseball leg kick. He was pretty nice kid. Owner of range came over later and gave me a half-bucket.
It was just so ironic. Entire range, about 70-80 spots open, dude comes RIGHT next to me.
But I hit the ball pretty well considering the rust. Scoring irons intend to be just that this summer.

No, but I have noticed that my generation (25-35) cant do shit especially if you have any type of education, yet all my friends and my dad are fucking master craftsman, carpenters, and mechanics all in one.
I’d debate you on mechanics, as working on cars has somewhat changed in nature in the last 20 years. But as for home projects, you kind of just need to dive into those waters at some point.
I am restoring a piece of wood furniture, it’s been a the most miserable, rewarding and educational project I’ve done in ages. Also, the price of tools can be daunting (if you have no parents tools to learn/borrow).

Is the sentence regarding team oriented play sarcasm? It should be. The only thing complex about the NBA is the rules structures which promote individual play (illegal defenses, short shot clock, officiating bias toward “named” players, etc.)

Not at all. Good teams have incredible team play. Heat, Bulls, Lakers(lately), Thunder, Magic, 76ers, Spurs, Grizzlies, and Mavs all come to mind. All winning teams that are having pretty good seasons. Other teams that come to mind are the Nuggets, T-Wolves, Suns, Celtics, and Warriors. That’s about half the NBA that you could easily say plays good to great team basketball.

The man must be stopped. I thought he was just a novelty until a couple of coworkers started talking outside my office yesterday about how he is the only choice and he would do a great job and that his beliefs are just his beliefs and he doesn’t want to make other people follow those beliefs. They then followed that up with defending Rush Limbaugh and one of them saying, “I don’t want my tax dollars paying for a slut’s abortion.”

So in my neighborhood I’ve see a lot of signs popping up from some company called Storm Team. I guess they go around to people’s houses, look for hale/wind damage, and quote you an estimate. The guy come to my house, climbs on the roof and says it looks like 10k in damage. He then goes to to tell me we can do an nsurance claim and basically get a roof put on for free (minus deductible). Ths whole thing sounds way too good to be true but a least 4 of my neighbors look like they are getting work done so what do I know.

Unless Romney wins, the GOP has about zero chance in 2016.
If Romney loses, the more moderate side of the party is absolutely done. They will shift more conservative and Santorum will be the frontrunner for their nomination in 2016. Especially if there is a third candidate that takes away the conservative votes from Romney. The GOP is about to face one hell of an identity crisis.

I think a Romney loss moves the party more to the center, with the reason being that a large part of a Romney loss will be due to his pandering to the conservative base of the party. This is no different than the Democrats 30 years ago. The next Republican in office will be a Northeastern or Midwestern Republican.

Yes. We own some rental properties in the Dallas area and after a hailstorm we had numerous companies make us that offer.

We did alot of things on our own, learned by trial & error, sometimes with disastrous results.
My son & I stopped at a convenience store the other day to pump up the air in our bike tires and I handed him the air hose and he said “what am I suppose to do?” Kids today would rather you get a new bike then fix the flat tire they have on their bike. When we were kids we use to strip our bikes down and sand/paint them new colors. Getting a flat was a little bothersome, but you got to get out the rubber cement and matches (FIRE!)

Since I cover the insurance industry for my job, I know that when they see multiple claims coming from the same area and all of the work being done by one company, then it’s a major red flag. They’ll get their actuaries, adjusters and PIs (they often hire them) on the job and will sue the contracter and then jack up the property rates of the homeowners, usually in the 40-60% range.

We lived in the same area of Indianapolis. His best friend was the older brother of one of my good friends who lived down the street. The friend’s brother and his friends taught me how to ride a bike one day when they found out I didn’t know how and Montross was one of them. He wasn’t much help though, but was terrifyingly huge.

he could come in as a moderate candidate and win, if the GOP goes with the far right in the general this year, they will probably jump at a moderate candidate to appeal to the independants, women, and minorities that will be voting against the GOP in this election.

that’s the thing. what candidates say in their primaries doesn’t go away anymore. The GOP will send up Mitt and he’ll not only have to go against Obama, but the far right pandering he did in the primaries because the dems won’t let that go away.
and it’s fair questions to ask, especially in a debate, to say “you were for planned parenthood before you were against it to win the GOP nomination, now you’re for it again in the general election.. what exactly do you stand for, it anything?”

It is no coincidence that Mike Huckabee wasn’t on the national stage until he lost two bills. These things play a much bigger role than people think.
March 16th, 2012 at 10:15 AM
Actually its much easier to have kids later in life (especially for men) than to un-have kids. Also on paper having kids laid out logically sounds like a losing proposal however i’m sure most parents are extremely happy with their decision and cannot imagine life any other way.
The point here is that whether you choose to have kids or not there’s a very good chance your entire psyche will collude to make it a wonderful decision most if not all of the time.
March 16th, 2012 at 10:15 AM
i think this is the last gasp of the extremists, though, because all the viable candidates for a run against a new Dem nominee are staying out of it. Mitt or santorum, whomever wins the nom won’t run again if they lose the general, and santorum and gingrich won’t win primaries if they go up against someone like Christie or Daniels in 2016.
i could be completely wrong though, and i hope not, because that would be a terrible future election.

Guinness has less calories than a glass of orange juice and you can still look at yourself in the mirror after drinking it. You won’t like it. Also if you drink enough you will get temporary bulimia so the question of calories is moot you vainglorious cunt.

That’s another thing I find moronic about the far right. They’re against contraception, but they’re also very anti-welfare. Contraception would help with keeping a lot of people from being born into welfare. That would make to much logical sense though.

So when it comes to kids I’m leaning on the not-having any but not dumb enough to think my mind would never ever change although I think it wouldn’t. However the question I always ask is this: why?
Is there a good reason to have kids that is neither hollow nor selfish? There’s really no good reason why my genes NEED to propagate, bringing someone into a dangerous world to keep me company sounds selfish and ensuring the survival of the human race by having unprotected sex sounds about as effective as holding your breath a few minutes a day to reduce your carbon emissions. what gives?
March 16th, 2012 at 10:33 AM
Because the waiting list is much longer, and by the time they get the child they may not still be relevant for anybody to care.
March 16th, 2012 at 10:33 AM
Yeah at any given moment there’s something like 200k kids awaiting adoption in America.
But if you’re a celebrity….
1) Don’t have to ever worry about the birth parents changing their mind.
2) Don’t have the stigma of adopted kids in America being problem children, which is bullshit, but it’s a real stigma.
3) Positive press.
It’s actually more expensive to adopt from abroad and can take a lot longer. Celebrities are assholes.
