I love this comment.

As one of the few kids with the cajones to chug a Jolt with some Pop Rocks, I can say that while Mentos and Diet Coke is a little less extreme, Fran will never be the same.

I absolutely have you beat.

My daughter wanted to go to the movie version “Mama Mia” and take a friend. My wife, bless her heart, had other things to do (ie – didn’t want to poke her eyeballs out). I said I’d do it. We get to the theater, and the box office guy looks at me, and says, “You do know this is the sing-along version, right?” Fuck me. We get in, and my daughter and her friend let me know they don’t want me sitting with them. There must be at least 15 people in the theater, so here I am, in Mama Mia, sing-along version, sitting by myself. Right before it’s supposed to start, this group of 6 people come into the theater together, and sit right next to me, though approximately 98% of the theater is empty. I don’t mean in the same row – I mean, directly in the seat to my right (I’m on the aisle) and on down. Needless to say, I moved immediately, and began texted my wife with explicit details about what she might owe me. Her reaction? Laughing hysterically and telling the story repeatedly ever since.

My daughter is still young (6 tomorrow)

so I don’t have the ‘you can’t sit with me’ issues. Most of her movies, while kinda dumb, aren’t that bad. Yogi was a mess, the Chipmunks (1 &2) were predictable, Despicable Me was ok. We’re still mostly in the cartoon phase, which is more tolerable than Hannah Montana and the like.

Here's how my wife got the better of me:

She bought tickets to a Michael Bublé concert. I tried wiggling out of it, and eventually succeeded in getting her to agree to take her aunt instead. The trade was that I’d have to go to movies of her choice equal to the dollar value of the Bublé tickets.

She didn’t tell me until she got home from the concert that she’d bought Club level tickets worth $100. Looks like I’ll be seeing ALL of the Twilight movies over the next few years.

I will say this though, I saw the trailer for his movie and there is a part where he is like 2-3 years old and druming on a table, the kid had better rhythm at that age than I do at 34. I think that is impressive.

I thought those movies were reserved for after he got out of rehab at 35 and was trying for a comeback or needed money in his late 60’s. This kid is really screwing up the fame timeline.

No way. This kid knows full well that child stars rarely maintain any level of success.

He’s capitalizing on his popularity now. Why wait 20 years to collect after his life has fallen apart if he can make enough coin at 16 to live comfortably for the rest of his life?

Although his popularity is ridiculous and it’s easy to hate a 16-year lesbian lookalike, it’s tough to deny that he’s surrounded himself with a quality marketing team. Plus, the kid’s just living his dream, it’s tough to fault him for the foolishness of teenage girls that fill his pockets with money. I hate Stephanie Meyer far more than I hate Justin Bieber.

Bad writing is... bad writing

As a scifi fan I find it appalling how the complete lack of science education has wrecked the quality of most mainstream science fiction writing. You go into the scifi section of the bookstore and now 1/2 to 2/3rds of the selection are maidens fair/sword & sorcery/vampire crap with a few real science fiction books sprinkled in. Its awful.

More power to the Twilight author for making a buck off of writing crap, but I know that if I had turned in short stories that read like some of the Twlight chapters, my Fiction Writing TAs at Iowa would have flunked my ass big time.

by the fellows of this fine institution. However, two things:
- I heard Fran was doing the Pelican Whore on the side. Pics please.
- That’s his wife?!? Atta boy, Fran !

It's so sad how a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wild dogs.

She's crazy!!!

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

What's with the face on the silver-haired guy behind smiling Marg?

Between him and the kid covering his nose, I’d say someone is carpet bombing that whole area in methane.

I also like Fran’s Dick Cheney-esque half smile as he holds aloft his vanquished foe Izzoo.

That silver-haired guy is Buzz Aldrin.

I also just noticed, Fran’s absolutely dropping the f-bomb in the picture between the two undoctored Margaret pictures.

Fran does seem to have a bit of a temper when dealing with the officials.

He does an exemplary job of picking his moments to get T’d up, which is good. I’m perfectly fine with coaches getting technicals when it looks like they know what they’re doing, and Fran has done that. Usually the team plays harder after he does. It shows he has their backs and is willing to fight for them. A little fire on the sideline never hurt anyone, unless you were in Indiana when Knight was there.

I'm just waiting for Margaret's first technical.

We all know it’s coming, it’s just a matter of time.

I bet it would have to be an insanely stupid call.

That makes him

Or Ken Mattingly.

But references to that can be trite.

One of these pics needs a caption that says...
