That’s awesome. We get crazy shit in our support queue too. Crazy shit.

Some people truly are crazy. (by any chance did you have an answer for me this lunatic?)

Chocolate chip cookies, All Nighters, & BJ Novak
All things my “friends” on Facebook have become fans of.
To be honest, if you feel the need to proclaim your fandom for these things, I’m afraid we were never friends in the first place.

My Dad just called to say, “the Space Shuttle takes off in 4 minutes!!”
The folks live south of Cape Canaveral(in Sebastian, FL) & he watches the Shuttle take off with a couple of neighbors. They light cigars as soon as they see it.

If I were a celebrity, I’d be hiding under my bed until Labor Day.
One of these days I hope to wake up dead.
(via barelysarcasm)
I would have simply liked this, however it’s one of those posts you have to reblog to say you completely agree with the sentiment…um…wait, that didn’t come out right either.

Investigators looking into steroid use by professional baseball players obtained search warrants and subpoenas for the drug tests results on 10 major league players, but they took the results on 104 players.
The Major League Baseball Players Association sued for the return of the seized results, while the government argued investigators should be able to...

The hoops blog got a pretty sweet update (a suprise to me!). It looks professional and everything.
While I’m listed as a contributor, I very rarely add anything of value (or otherwise) to this NBA blog, but it’s still hands down the best place on the internet for both NBA news and commentary as well as funny bits and pieces of basketball culture. I’m going to try and...
