White Sox pitcher Mark Buerhle threw a perfect game yesterday! (For non baseball fans, that means he faced the bare minimum of 27 batters and retired them all, allowing absolutely no one on base.) It's one of the most impressive individual achievements in sports. In 130+ years of the big leagues, this has only happened 18 times.

And it wouldn't have happened without this insane catch. The guy leaps over the wall, snatched a sure home run back into the park with the tip of his glove, but then hits the wall so hard, he drops the ball, then snatches it with his bare hand, hits the ground rolling, then still finishes upright with ball in hand. It's being called one of the greatest catches in baseball history.

Coming Soon: The 10th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos^*!


This is an extended infomercial about a douchebag musicfest held in rural Illinois.

The second half is gold. Hayrides. For people in evil clown makeup. Ferris wheels! The comedy stylings of JJ Walker! And for some reason, the "comedy" of Rowdy Roddy Piper. Midget wrestling! Wet t-shirt contest! Inflatable games!

Someone sure backed up the WTF truck for this one.

^*Juggalos=fans of Insane Clown Posse. No really... that's a thing.

Bouncy boxing!

I know what a juggalo is, unfortunately.

This is a conversation I had with my wife last night:

Me: S_ _ _, look at this shrimp*! I haven't seen shrimp this beautiful since Amsterdam.

S_ _ _: I don't want to look at it.

Me: C'mon, here look at this thing (holding up a plump and juicy piece of shrimp).

S_ _ _: Moe**, I don't care.

Me: I know you don't, but you could at least humor me by looking.

S_ _ _: You don't really feel that way do you?

Me: Yes.

S_ _ _: I hope you're joking. I hope don't do that with me.







Every time I patiently listen while she's talking about Early Childhood this and that, or the people she works with, or something about her boss, or her drunken ramblings, I'm humoring her. I indulge her interests and say yeah and uh-huh in all the right places. Of course I didn't say any of that last night, but I thought humoring the other person and pretending you're interested or that you care because it's something she's interested in or cares about was all part of this relationship business. 







*I don't really use code in my house.
**S_ _ _ doesn't call me Moe. In fact, she has no idea that anybody ever calls me Moe.

It's not? Maybe S___ didn't get the memo.

Moe. That still makes me laugh. But not as much as when Savannah uses "Moeseph" and such.

Hey all y'all nerds: Star Wars, the musical.

Someone probably already posted that but still:  and 

[Just Some Girl]

Wow. Jesse's Flynn's/Tron vids outnerd even a Star Wars musical. Wow.

My wife is an all-star at the "pretending to listen intently to shit she doesn't care about" game. Not even I am stupid enough to think she gives a shit about dishwashers, baseball, or zombie comics, but she's heard me expound on all of those things at great length this week. She's pretty cool.

I don't.


Ok, so I'm on phones right now right (just 6 more minutes...6 more minutes...6 more minutes) and it's actually busy. This is supposed to be a good thing; it means our people are working. But you should hear me every time it rings. If I'm not sighing EXTREMELY loudly (and exlaiming -- even to the bosses -- that I hate the phones), then it's more of a "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Leave me ALONE. I'm not done taking the LAST message yet. Fuuuuuuck!!!" kind of thing.

Making us cover at reception also takes us away from our real work (of which I have tons today) for a half hour, so they don't have to pay another support person is totally lame.
