All games on Sunday, except the Titans and the Saints on Monday. But it can't hurt to get em done early.

I always do and look what it's done for me.

"We just got beat, got beat by a better team," Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione said.

I know, that was random. But true.

Guess this explains you guys, no?

More than a quarter of respondents -- or 28 percent -- admitted spending less time socializing face-to-face with peers because of the amount of time they spend online.

It also found that 20 percent said they spend less time having sex because they are online.

Cell phones won out over television in a question asking which device people couldn't go without but the Internet trumped all, regarded as the most necessary.

I'm pleased to tell you that I went without TV, internet, or phone access for two weeks this summer while in Costa Rica (then the NBA draft was on, so we found a cheap 'net cafe and ended up coming back day after day just to check on things).

Illegally barking out fake snap counts to screw up the offense, according to Ravens' coach Brian Billick. Which is illegal.

I kinda knew the tattling would lead down to counter-tattling. I said so. Just not here. I talk to other people you know.

Thanks to chickpea.

Fighting frivolous lawsuits with frivolous lawsuits, Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers might get his hearing with the Almighty.

One of two court filings appeared under the name of God.

Ernie, this didn't work out so good for Job. Watch yaself.

tip from Drew, who watches mysterious courtroom activity so you don't have to.

And since this drive-in flick cries for a double feature (like Torso, a B-horror flick I saw at the Rebel Twin Drive In back in 75, doubled-featured withThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Torso was about a "psycho-sexual" killer who murdered his victims with a tree saw. Let that stupid sink in for a sec),

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog covers the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

I'm sure it's old.

BONUS: Torso trailer (click on vid after following link, trailer NSFW mostly because of the awful hair and wacka wacka guitar shit. Oh, and the breasts).

What a world. Almost 20 years after the Berlin Wall comes down, they're packaging pieces of it with video games like a toy in a very geeky happy meal. What a world.

I heard about it today while talking to my brother. He told me the actual words of his friend upon receiving a piece with the game were, "Cool! Mine has spray-paint on it."

Incidentally, the game is a real-time strategy called World in Conflict premised on the idea that the Cold War never ended. It got great reviews. It's been a while since I played an RTS, and my current computer isn't up to it. But whenever I get a new one, I may just check this one out. I think I'll pass on getting the version which comes with a piece of the Berlin Wall, though.

It may or may not be live where you are. Apparently it started at 7 Central but is just coming on in my area. It’s on PBS so individual stations get to decide when to run it.

It’s a small field, only 6 were invited and Obama said no thanks. No Kookie Kucinich or Mike Gravel. But the crazy will be extra strong because the debate is sponsored by AARP and will focus on health care and financial security. Me thinks by the end of the debate Marx himself will be blushing at the level of state control that will be offered up.

I'll pretend I believe this just for entertainment purposes.

Sana Klaric and husband Adnan, who used the names "Sweetie" and "Prince of Joy" in an online chatroom, spent hours telling each other about their marriage troubles, Metro.co.uk reported.

The truth emerged when the two turned up for a date. Now the pair, from Zenica in central Bosnia, are divorcing after accusing each other of being unfaithful.

"I was suddenly in love. It was amazing. We seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriage. How right that turned out to be," Sana, 27, said.

Adnan, 32, said: "I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years."

I find it hard to believe too, Adnan.

I guess I just dated myself with that.

Apparently that photo was taken hours after being ordered by a judge to undergo random drug testing. I guess she's pretty smart to figure the first test wouldn't come two hours after the order.

Here's a pic of Madame if you were too young.

I think the Andy Warhol rule is hereby amended:

1) In the future, everyone will have Britney Spears for 15 minutes;

and

2) The future is looking pretty bleak. It's like Blade Runner with backfat.

Sigh. When I think of all the potential Parkinson's treatments I wasted...

Thanks to Nordbuster.
