I am by no means a Reds fan, but Marty is quite entertaining. He can be publicly pissy toward his employer, sarcastic and has an unequaled set of chicklets ... what's not to like? The best Martyism I can remember was from a few years ago around the time he was being inducted into the Hall of...

As someone who has read hundreds of poker growth stories since 2003, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for not writing "the aptly named Chris Moneymaker" or "Chris Moneymaker (his real name)." Does anyone know how Jeff Madsen's doing in the Main Event?

This cat has two faces. Unreal. I'm posting the link to the photo because it's a bit disarming to see a kitty-cat WITH TWO FREAKING FACES! http://www.nbc4i.com/2006/0712/9506335_320X240.jpg And the full story: http://www.nbc4i.com/news/9506448/detail.html

I know I'm a week late to the party but ... Let me first state that Supe is my favorite superhero by far and the first and second movies were cornerstones of my youth. If you're between 30-35 years old and you didn't get teary-eyed or, at the very least, get fired up when: • The opening...

In my neverending quest to make the 'Mother the biggest band in the world, I offer this public service. Check them out if you're so inclined ... they really are fantastic. Pure rock.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Former miler: I hope you had a great time in my beloved city. It's not Halifax, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec or Calgary but I bet it can hold its own with Regina or London.

The funny thing was, it worked better after he took his leak on it.

Can't vouch for Dusty or the paper but Chad is a great guy (I went to school with him) and, like I said the last time this paper had an opening, you'll have one of the world's great highway-exit gas station/eateries at your disposal. Ashland, the World Headquarters of Nice People (don't take my...

Thank you so much, halfmiler, jgmacg, Jones and the rest who have given their critiques to myself and others so far. Again, I wrote this for Buckeye Sports Bulletin, a magazine that covers Ohio State athletics. It's a shorty, but one I don't think a lot of people knew about. ------------------...

I went back five or six pages and saw no mention of the year's best album: If you're a fan of shameless and raunchy classic rock, I implore you to run and not walk to the store to buy Wolfmother's self-titled release. Come for the Ozzy Osbornesque vocals and "beginning of Styx's Blue-Collar...

Mendoza never finished with All-America status, but he did qualify for the NCAA tournament both of his years at Ohio State. The 1992 bracket he found himself in was a doozy. In the third round of the main draw, Mendoza’s championship dreams were dashed by a skillful senior from Pennsylvania’s...

Something I wrote for Buckeye Sports Bulletin, a magazine that covers Ohio State athletics, last November: ------------ Despite Iraq’s endless desertscape, there are limitless ways for insurgents to hide their so-called improvised explosive devices. IEDs — you may know them as roadside bombs —...

Re: Design thread *Updated 1/14* The insert is there just to give an idea of what was written, since you wouldn't be able to actually read anything on the page as I posted it. (The blow-up wasn't printed). Funny you mention using a whole outfit. My wife thought I should have left the hockey...

Re: Design thread *Updated 1/14* Can I go? This is a graphic I did for a publication called Blue Jackets Beat, which covers that NHL team. Team was riddled with injuries, so Vetrutian Man it was. (Inset is a detailed sliver of the graphic.) Anything you like or didn't like?
