Saturday, May 14th, 2011That’s the rumor. And as a hockey fan, I am completely and utterly against it. According to Darren Dreger of TSN, it appears like the Philadelphia Flyers will host the New York Rangers – but not in the home of the Eagles: The NHL hasn’t officially signed off on the location, largely because of building [...]
Overnight Thread
Saturday, May 14th, 2011Tonight’s thread begins with yet another reason why I gladly pay to send my kids to Catholic school. There are far too many over-officious jerks in the public school system; jerks who wield their power like a two-bit dictator. I’m sure the Harrisburg, PA school district is chock full of caring, dedicated teachers and administrator. [...]

AHL Team Buys House For Disabled Fan
Friday, May 13th, 2011The Albany River Rats recently moved to Charlotte, where they were renamed the Checkers. The team’s most loyal fan, 11-year old Zach Bennett, was crushed. Bennett has a nerve disease which has cost him both his legs. The Bennetts decided to move to Charlotte to follow their favorite hockey team and to be closer to [...]
Florida Legislators Pull A Real Boner
Friday, May 13th, 2011Lawmakers unwittingly made sex illegal in the Sunshine State. Seriously. This poorly-worded miasma of a law recently passed in Florida, which presumably was designed to prevent bestiality and promote animal welfare, but which has actually made it illegal, effective October 1, 2011, for anyone to have sex in Florida. “An act relating to sexual activities [...]
Overnight Thread
Friday, May 13th, 2011Tonight’s overnight thread is gonna be a wee bit lacking. I’m battling a cellulitis infection, and have been on my arse for the past two days. Fevers of 101 or higher and debilitating pain in my legs. Yeah, that’s probably TMI, but I wanted you to know why I’m slacking. As you know, today is [...]
Who Are You???
Thursday, May 12th, 2011I’m Fat Batman! A 31-year-old Michigan man dressed as Batman was arrested Wednesday, as he dangled from the side of a building, authorities said. The wanna-be superhero, whose name has not been released, was also in possession of several “dangerous weapons,” according to the Petoskey Department of Public Safety. Officers found “a baton type striking [...]
Not So Pretty In Pink
Thursday, May 12th, 2011Remember those 80′s romantic comedies where the guy gets the prettiest girl in the high school at the end? They almost always starred John Cusack and they involved some logistically impossible stunt to win the babe? That was the 80′s. In 2011, the guy would be suspended and/or arrested. He’d still get the girl, but [...]
An Important Announcement From Lord Vader
Thursday, May 12th, 2011This may be one of the funniest parodies I have ever read. CORUSCANT – Obi-Wan Kenobi, the mastermind of some of the most devastating attacks on the Galactic Empire and the most hunted man in the galaxy, was killed in a firefight with Imperial forces near Alderaan, Darth Vader announced on Sunday. In a late-night [...]
Overnight Thread
Thursday, May 12th, 2011Regular readers know that I played lacrosse in college and coached it for 19 years. So I know what I’m talking about when I say this story is the epitome of idiocy. Baltimore is the hub of American lacrosse. It’s the most popular sport in the area by far. Everyone knows about the game and [...]
