That one girl did not expect to get boot from American Idol for doing this song.

Plus, much like the sinking ship logo, we shouldn’t get the happy song back until we are sure he is healthy.

I recall once several years ago the Detroit Pistons

entered to the strains of Deep Purple’s “Knocking on Your Back Door”, a song pretty obviously about anal sex.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

There was an intro on ESPN, maybe 5 years ago

Foo Fighter’s “All My Life”. Perfect song for a series of images and short video clips going from tense preparation, to highlight plays. Awesome.

Is it just me, or is this AJ trade looking worse every day?

I like it.

I don’t know Nina Simone, but I like this. I’m going to go listen to more at iTunes. Thanks, Jeff

I dig it. Nina Symone is the shit.

And it’s kind of an “I’m totally excited but a bit tempered and cautious at the same time” mood. Like I’m feeling good, but it might not last for too long, because, you know, it’s the Mariners.

LFOJL got called up to the bigs.

Signed to the league minimum, he’ll be playing SS so he can turn double plays with Lopez.

I'm still bitter that my first Springsteen concert was greatly diminished by the shittyness of the Tacoma Dome.

We should not have a better concert venue in Spokane than you do anywhere in Portland or Seattle.

I think the majority of the country shows are at the Dome.

In fact, pretty much any event that appeals to the Hick population is in Tacoma. Monster Truck, WWF, whatever. Other than that, Key Arena is the place to be.

Dear Comcast

Your service is shit. FIOS is better.

Stop deceiving people with your “fiber-optic network.” Verizon plumbs a fiber line straight to my goddamn house and doesn’t lie to me with the whole burst-speed bullshit.
