    OMG

    I was shocked when this terrible news reached me today through the grapevine. A truly talented writer, with a great comedic touch. Logging in online and seeing a new jeebus account from Chris was like finding out your favorite writer has another book out. Go get a fresh cup of coffee, get...

    Celebrating SFJoe: In Which Kane's Parents Leave Town for the Weekend (from 12/01)

    So true. Reading through the old jeebus write-ups tonight has definitely helped. Thanks for re-posting, Herr Coad.

    Pynchon

    This makes me worried about the safety of my "Genghis Cohen" registrations. Jb (who is also wondering about the security of that "cryinglot49" password)

    Mylunsch is funnier than and has a better editor than Tom.

    Check your sanity at the doorstep

    2008 and 2009 Montesecondo Rosso. I think I have had a pallet of spazz-outs over those.

    EPL Season

    This tells me it might be better to be a shareholder/investor than a dedicated fan, although if RvP and Vermaelen can stay healthy (admittedly very big ifs), and WilshIre can return healthy in January, it might a good time to buy some Arsenal 2012 out-of-the-money calls.

    Joey Barton? vlm, are you fucking kidding me? I don't know who has had worse summer dealing with extortionists, Obama or Wenger.

    EPL Season

    Ah, I'm afraid it's Wenger. Wenger should be the meta-manager next season, with someone ruthless who cares about winning, rather than just the long-term programme, making the adjustments at halftime. With someone more ruthless making the off-season decisions. And 2-3 more ruthless defenders on...

    EPL Season

    Messi's dogged brilliance at the end of the game almost made up for a travesty of a game filled with nasty plays, cynicism, and appalling fakery. Didn't Lionel understand he was supposed to go down and draw a free kick (after of course eight players badger the ref for a card) rather than score...

    Good call. And, imagine, Arsenal being plagued by a weak central defense and either weak or inexperienced players in goal. Ouch. Painful.

    Koscielny kept them in the game, along with Messi missing a chip shot he usually converts. Djourou had another good game, and Wilshere had a great game. Madrid? Let's hope that's one of those faux agent-created rumors. 19 years old?

    EPL Season

    Arsene seems to have locked up the race in February. But the FSC commentators and Dowd deserve special commendations. I fear for the safety of fatboy's tv. I may have to take a futbol watching hiatus.

    EPL Season

    How did you know? And then just lazily sticking a leg out as his "reactive remedy" for a lost ball instead of actually tackling appropriately. He looks lost out there at times, like he has no idea what he is supposed to be doing or maybe just doesn't care that much if defensive effort is...

    TN: 2001 Brunello and other Tuscans

    Same here, except I have never had a le chiuse.

    NWR: Jazz and "jazz"

    I like the classical meyer the best. Although I also played the "skip, hop and wobble" cd to death long ago. Edgar meyer has long been my rejoinder to Eden Mylunsch's Nashville-diatribes about being forced to go the bluebird cafe and listen to Janis Ian and Eddie Rabbit-wannabes. Not that the...
