Roundup: The Simpsons and Springfield, Fight in the Stands at the Blue Jays Opener & Tony Romo is a Father
Holly Madison … an 8.6 earthquake rocked the Indian Ocean overnight … if you’re fat, don’t apply to work at this hospital … guy goes on murder rampage after getting upset his ex-girlfriend had moved on … I’m going to the wrong restaurants (that’s Lucy Pinder and friends) … 50 Must-Try Hoppy Beers … Brooklyn Decker, bikini, Australia … you’ll be shocked to hear porn websites get pretty decent traffic … Simpsons fans, the real Springfield is … 10 felonies in a 9-hour span? … it’d be cool if one of you Steelers fans won this … Hillary Clinton is cool … “boy, 5, brings heroin for show and tell” … George Zimmerman’s attorneys quit … “Bomb threat forces emergency landing of Korean Air flight in Comox” …

I think the fact that she was banging probably the most high-profile person in the state, and obviously not trying all that hard to hide it, and still planning on a wedding in June shows what kind of person she is.

Huh, by his tweets, I would have thought that J-Mac had moved on to Applebees.
he doesn’t eat there. His twitter acolytes eat there, at his request. And they talk about how cool he is for the rad suggestion, and wonder why they hadn’t given Applebee’s more run.

Nope. But I do love the idea of a Philly-Pittsburgh opening series. Can’t wait to watch them beat the piss out of each other during that series.
Not going to lie, sweating the B’s-Caps series a little. Much rather would have liked to face Ottawa.

April 11th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
I love how everyone hates this kid’s name. Geez.
it was probably the wife anyway. One of those names that comes prepackaged. Crawford was her maiden name, and Hawkins was probably her mom’s maiden name or something. And Tony Romo just goes along with it, because that’s easy than trying to give the kid some Latin sounding name.
April 11th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
Really the whole division got screwed. The three best teams (points wise) come from the division, yet if seedings hold they’re going to have to beat the piss out of each other just to get to the Eastern Finals. Hopefully, the 6/7 seed pulls an upset so the Flyers/Pens winner doesn’t draw the Rangers right away.
Really, this is so easy to fix Bettman. Just guarantee the division winners a Top 4 seed so they have home ice, but allow one team to jump them if they have a better record. The Pens would be the 2 seed, the Flyers the 5 playing the Panthers. Much “fairer”.
April 11th, 2012 at 9:06 AM

It’s great because her Newlyweds show was still on the air back then, and they showed right after she did that video and the Dukes movie, she pigged out on mac n cheese and got a horrible stomachache and gas because she had eaten nothing but lettuce in order to fit in those daisy dukes. The girl was just not destined to be naturally thin.

I was actually kind of sad watching that video. I felt bad for the bear. It was lost, probably hungry and just trying to get back to the woods.
watch it again, and look at how fat that fucking bear is. He’s living the life of Riley, dining on people’s garbage all the time. He wants nothing to do with the woods, he just wants the sun to go back down, so he can tip over trash cans behind the chinese restaurant.

my wife scoffed in the face of a lactation consultant, and then had to be held in place so we could finish the mandatory meeting, before the first baby. So stupid.
