Does turkey bacon count?  I thought it was thrice reassortant.

"Finally, in the fourth inning while Joey Votto was batting, a brown, black and white cat (pictured, and thankfully not all black) scampered from somewhere under the LF bleachers and around the outfield before finally being corralled by a security guard."

Take up the White Man's burden--
No iron rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper--
The tale of common things.

QuoteCat on field, caught by security. NOT black

Was the first draft of Kipling in the form of a haiku, too?

Now I have to get out my Vachel Lindsay album.

A friend of mine illustrated and helped research this. I think it's steak tits. What say you?

It does omit the mildly pedophilic literary contribution of Old Irish in which Conchobar "one third of the day spent watching the youths, another third playing fidchell, another third drinking ale till he falls asleep therefrom."

Who knows what will happen with the buttchuggers running NBC, but I hope this guy is right:

QuoteWant to know my opinion on the chances that "Chuck" will be back next season?

Yes, NBC's Jay Leno Masterplan is a mistake and yes, it's a slap in the face of the industry's creative community. But try this as a positive after-effect: If NBC's programming window for weekdays has been reduced by a third, that perhaps that makes NBC place greater value on putting original episodes in those remain slots? I mean, if you only have two hours of new shows per night, you can't use that time for repeats, right?

Well, that would certainly explain why one never sees a repeat on Fox.

This is probably the most purely entertaining show on TV right now. The suits at NBC better not cancel it.

I don't think that's the last we'll see of Bakulatowski.

I'm with you RV. As one of the few people that watches Reaper (which basically just got cancelled), I'm hanging on to a lot of these shows for dear life. From everything I've heard it's doing pretty well. Have you heard otherwise?

The only reason Chuck is still on is that it's on NBC, and it tied its series-low demo numbers last night.  Given that it is NBC, it probably has a decent shot at renewal.

I wouldn't give up on Reaper just yet, though--producers are replaceable.  If the CW "wants" it (that is, its ratings are good enough to push them), ABC Studios could keep it going.

She seems more than a bit swaybacked, but I was assuming that it was an affectation meant to suggest estrus.

In the book, however, are numerous mentions of Al. He does refer to him as the director of the morning news.

Hey-O!

So much better than that Hilton version.

Dateline 2002 February 13:

QuoteThe Carl's Jr. "nuggets" ad that aired in California in January and part of February is off the air, according to CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Carl's Jr., a fast food franchise in CA. The ad showed a group of men dressed as scientists examining a live chicken, looking for her "nuggets." One of them took off his glove and said, "They're not here either," implying an anal search for nuggets. A Los Angeles Times article about UPC's campaign to get rid of the ad ("What if Someone Went Looking for Your Nuggets?" by Dana Parsons, Jan. 16) quoted UPC President Karen Davis, "When someone's poking around your body and sniffing around, looking under your tail, wing and treating this bird's body derisively . . . that's our objection."

[Edit.--A more direct press release: http://www.upc-online.org/020117nr_carls_nugget_ad.html ]

[Edit 2.--Of course, who could forget this?  Perhaps only those who can't forget "Nathaniel Bar-Jonah"?

It's more about the development of ways to make darker colors reflect the infrared spectrum...

To where?  I'm not getting the energy balance here.

To somewhere where it won't encourage people to crank up their car AC.

Possibly "anywhere but the car itself."

Is "the air" somewhere that won't encourage use of air conditioning?
