I'm always in the mood for some Sigur Ros

I was born into the Purdue and Miami family, became a Jaguars fan after moving to Jacksonville and adopted the Royals as my baseball team.....All of my teams are kinda bad....

My second best college memory (other than KU winning the national championship)

involved Sigur Ros.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room!

Nothing too exciting. Basically an unexpected several hours of cuddling.

Sloppy Rany

And if he misses on facts this obvious, imagine what else is out there.

For example, I’m pretty sure Dr. Nick Swartz is a Simpson’s character.

Also, Mike Aviles never existed.

There was only an extra body.

Love that Sigur Ros video

The DVD came with Takk, and I swear I watched it 50 times. I’m envious, Will.

I wonder what a Venn Diagram of regular RR readers and Rany readers would look like.

I would guess a lot of overlap, but that would be a pure guess. And I am a terrible guesser.

by dejezeus on Nov 19, 2011 10:36 PM EST reply actions

Probably about a 98% overlap

as both are quality sites that deal exclusively with our favorite team.

was pretty good. Not everyone does or can talk about the training staff the way Rany has. Nice to see him focus on a lesser known aspect of the club. And I think you are 98% right about the 98% overlap.

If women only slept with nice guys...guys would only be nice. And they don't. And we're not.

Is this why Will is in Iceland?

http://sacsis.org.za/site/article/728.1

But Icelanders didn’t stop there: they decided to draft a new constitution that would free the country from the exaggerated power of international finance and virtual money. (The one in use had been written when Iceland gained its independence from Denmark, in 1918, the only difference with the Danish constitution being that the word ‘president’ replaced the word ‘king’.)
To write the new constitution, the people of Iceland elected twenty-five citizens from among 522 adults not belonging to any political party but recommended by at least thirty citizens. This document was not the work of a handful of politicians, but was written on the internet. The constituent’s meetings are streamed on-line, and citizens can send their comments and suggestions, witnessing the document as it takes shape. The constitution that eventually emerges from this participatory democratic process will be submitted to parliament for approval after the next elections.
