Hitch still bringing the cold eyed analysis. Peeling back the curtain.

Those lacerated days. Particularly fond of the last 3 or 4 sentences.

i can't believe how much he's still writing

sounds like it his only sustenance

I wonder if he’s still getting in his gin?

by Nighthawk at the Diner on Dec 15, 2011 2:06 PM EST up reply actions

sounds like he just passed.

RIP Hitch

Gin for everyone today, eh? Maybe he’s having a few with Orwell and Mencken.

by DickHowser4ever on Dec 15, 2011 9:30 AM EST reply actions 2 recs

by Freneau on Dec 15, 2011 9:48 AM EST up reply actions

somewhat interesting, but mostly funtime hilariousness (is that a word)

and a good way to avoid work.

Wouldn't it just be Jesse Chavez's career?

So females get catty when they feel another girl is more attractive to men than they are.

Amazing.

Stay tuned for our next groundbreaking study!

“Women more attracted to men with perceived wealth.”

South Park did that one

It also amazed the scientists to discover that men might seek to acquire wealth in order to attract women!

Take it for what its worth

Probably nothing, but I heard from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy with the Royals that they are close to acquiring Gio Gonzalez. No idea what for.

Like I said, take it with a grain of salt.

I will also say

The last rumor I had “inside information” on was that KU had hired Jim Harbaugh.

Charlie Weis is a close second.

Though that's an awesome rumor.

Wonder who is being shipped out?

There is an internet rumor

That says Odorizzi, Montgomery, and Clint Robinson. But I haven’t heard any specifics. That seems like way too steep a price to pay and CRob doesn’t really make sense for Oakland.

Agreed.

would be surprised if the traded Odorizzi.....

but you gotta give up talent to get talent.

I dunno, Oakland collects 1B/DH types like they're the Royals or something.

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

I thought that was Yoshi from Mario

speculation on the punchline to penis joke contest: 1) does this look like Jello pudding to you? 2) It may not taste like chocolate pudding, but its just as filling. 3) Ain’t that a peach
