This is either the sweetest or dirtiest trick play in the history of peewee football. Enjoy.

This is a great idea from collegehumor.com. Video of them looking for girls that are both hot and smart. Winner gets $200 bucks. This is the first video in the series, so it’s not the greatest yet, but you can see that it has real potential.

Ron “Dr. No” Paul, along with everyone’s favorite Congress-critter Barney Frank have set off at full gallop toward a colossal windmill.  Given the current political situation in Congress and the White House, no one sees this thing going anywhere.  ‘Tis a fool’s errand, but we wish them Godspeed nonetheless.

This might be the ultimate Ming contest. Name the hottest MILF in TV history. Entrants must have been mothers in their fictional TV role, regardless of whether the actress was a mother in real life (e.g., Mary Tyler Moore as “Laura Petrie” qualifies, whereas Mary Tyler Moore as “Mary Richards” does not. Dana Perino is not fictional (I have no idea if she has spawn), so does not qualify.). Roles must have been regularly-appearing characters on a regular series, not just a mini-series or TV movie, in which the motherly status was regularly reinforced, even if that was not the character’s primary function (Beverly Crusher counts, Mrs. Ari counts, Nancy Botwin counts. Elise Keaton counts but is a sick choice; any of the dozens of mother/wife-turned-husband-murderer-characters that Meridith Baxter has played do not count). Unless it is a series currently on the air, the series must have run at least 2 seasons. Since I came up with this contest, I reserve the right to amend these rules as need be to maintain a level playing field.

We have more than 50 years of women to choose from, so this list should get good. Comment away!

P.S. Since we may not all have an encyclopedic knowledge of all things televisio-tacular, let’s ID the MILFs with their shows. For example, Mrs. Ari, “Entourage.”

Your choice? Here’s my nominee, it’s what I’m eating today. There’s a little out-of-the-way Italian grocery/deli in East Dallas called Jimmy’s Food Store. I think if it’s made in Italy, is food, and is imported into the US, Jimmy’s has it. Even truffles when in season. Seriously.

The best sandwich at the deli is the spicy Cuban. Classic pressed Cuban sandwich, but spicier. Mojo-marinaded roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss cheese, thinly-sliced dill pickles on Cuban bread. I don’t know what hot sauce they add to the sandwich, but it’s that kind of vinegar-y spicy flavor, so great that even though the tongue and lips burn after a few bites (necessitating a pause between bites), it’s so good that you can’t stay away.

Now you guys know me, I love the Reuben sandwich. But even the best Reuben might not be better than the spicy Cuban from Jimmy’s. What’s your favorite sandwich?

The 1987 Western Conference Playoffs vs. the Lakers, Game 4. It is here where Eric “Sleepy” Floyd sets the NBA playoff records for most points in a quarter (29) and half (39).

Floyd is unstoppable in the fourth, leading Golden State to their only victory in the series. Not even defensive standout Michael Cooper (knee socks, tiptoe 3ball) could contain him.

We’ll need Patrick to identify the soundtrack to Floyd’s magical quarter:

Anyone else read it?

Stevo and I co-discovered this recently without syncronicity, yet we agreed upon it on a peer-reviewed scientific paper to be published in the October issue of Popular Gastronomics: maple-cured bacon. OMG. Thick-cut, tasty arterial hell. Bacon is meat candy.

This site chronicles the last meals of those who are about to die (we do not salute you) for the capital crimes that they committed. When 10,000 volts is gonna get you in the morning, I guess you don’t have to worry about arterial sclerosis or cholesterol. Thus, the final meal of Georgia’s John Washington on June 26, 2008, or one typical day at the Indiana State Fair:

• four fried pork chops
• collard greens with boiled okra and “boiling meat”
• fried corn
• fried fatback
• fried green tomatoes
• cornbread
• lemonade
• one pint of strawberry ice cream; and
• three glazed donuts.
