mad rollin’ dolls
My Darling B and I finally went to the roller derby on Sunday, because nothing is more romantic than watching women on roller skates beating the crap out of each other. It was the Mad Rollin’ Dolls’ “Love Hurts” match-up, with the Unholy Rollers facing off against the Reservoir Dolls in the first half, and Read.

Julie & Julia
The latest post over at Texas Pete’s blog reviews The Fantastic Mister Fox, calling it “the best movie I’ve seen lately.” He also reviews Love Happens (“Crap”), The Proposal (“El Crapola”), Confessions of a Shopaholic (“Super Crap”), New In Town (“C.R.A.P”) and Julie & Julia (“Fun, light, insightful.”) Don’t you think it’s a crime that Read.

Hot Chicks With Storm Troopers is a web site dedicated to posting photographs of, um, hot chicks posing with geeks dressed up as Star Wars storm troopers. Or, on Fridays, hot chicks dressed up as storm troopers. Storm troopers with fully-armored boobies. Really. I couldn’t make up stuff like this. Back when I was a Read.

Salinger
I’ve been listening to misty-eyed Salinger fans sobbing about what an All-American Novel Catcher In The Rye was and feeling more than awkward about my guilty little secret: It’s not my favorite Salinger novel. It’s good and all, but honestly I thought Salinger was a much better short-story writer than a novelist. And the only Read.

OMG! OMG! OMG! Rickie Lee Jones is coming to town in February! OOOOgah! OOOOOgah! I’m gonna go get tickets TOMORROW! Do not wanna miss Rickie Lee Jones! Only thing is: She’s coming to the Barrymore. That could be a problem. The Barrymore has famously fucked up the sound when some of my favorite performers have Read.

cheese!
Remember photo booths? Plunk a buck and a half’s worth of quarters in the slot, climb into the crowded booth with every single one of the people you were out drinking with and poke each other in the eye while the flash went off at the worst-timed moments. Three minutes later the machine barfed up Read.

the final frontier
Our regular Saturday stop at St Vincent de Paul’s thrift store yielded only a few treasures this week. My Darling B didn’t find one old platter or kitchen gadget that caught her fancy. I, on the other hand, found a little treasure called The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Space. I’ve got so many books about manned Read.

toldja so
Aha! I was right! For years I’d listened to people tell me I should ditch the eyeglasses by letting the doctor shoot a laser into my eye, and the first thought that did not enter my head was, “Well, it must be safe or the doctors wouldn’t do it, right?” Because, y’know, they would have Read.

sports agnostic
Apparently the Milwaukee Brewers (that’s baseball, right?) traded a player to, well, another team … I forget which. I heard about it only because a guy was trying to explain it to me in the break room at work yesterday and he didn’t get the signal that he was speaking to a sports agnostic. Under Read.

Band Of Brothers
… there was no way training could prepare a man for combat. Combat could only be experienced, not played at. Training was critical to getting the men into physical condition, to obey orders, to use their weapons, to work effectively with hand signals and radios, and more. It could not teach men how to lie Read.
