OMG, I’m watching some stupid-ass movie called Baby on Board, and Lara Flynn Boyle has a small role in it. I used to love her back when she was on The Practice. I mean, we’re talking total girl-crush here! But I kind of lost track of her career after that show ended, and hadn’t seen [...]

Takeru Kobayashi is famous for one thing: being able to eat massive quantities of food in a short period of time. He has won the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest (annually held on the 4th of July) six times, and pretty much makes a living on the “competitive eating” circuit.

I used to play craps at the riverboats quite often, but have stayed away recently because I usually ended up losing more than I’d win. (Hey, have you ever heard a “gambler” admit to being on the losing side of things? Most of the people I talk to say they’re ahead overall.) So anyway, I [...]
I can’t watch today’s Blackhawks game anymore. The team just came apart at the seams in the second period, and it’s painful to see these young guys try to keep up with Detroit. Things started off bad, beginning with Cristobal Huet getting the call since Nikolai Khabibulin is injured. Huet gave up a shorthanded goal [...]
