    It's out there now. They'll never give up the pick up trucks.

    Save $10 or no babies. The resposible thing would have been to link steritly with the gas tax holiday.

    "A number of people have become disoriented in the chaos of flashing lights, trucks and spacemen, and are wandering in assorted directions away from the plane. The spacemen chase them down."

    In my head, this is a really funny scene.

  • Kerry & Prior

    [Read the article: Popular baseball mechanics]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Kerry Wood has or maybe had famously bad mechanics and trainers constantly worked with him on adjustments. His injuries were not really surprising.

    But didn't Prior go to some sort of Pitching Factory where they pretty much bred him to be mechanically perfect?

    The human body is an awesome machine but still humanly unpredictable.

  • On being a foreigner and not speaking the language

    [Read the article: Young ballers: See the world]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    They are young and if they have half a brain they will pick it up. First learn the important stuff,"Where is the bathroom?" "How much is this?" Then learn the conversational stuff. The locals will help.

    If a student had some spanish in highschool and half a brain, they could find their way around french, itlalian and potuguese. Watch out for those masculine/feminine nouns though, they change language to language. Learning a new language and culture would be more helpful to them in the long run than pretending to go to Freshman Comp and General Studies 100.

    Life in a foreign country is an excellent learning experience. But what if they don't want to come back and get in paid in dollars but demand getting paid in euros?

  • gave up coffee

    [Read the article: The meaning of Starbucks]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    then gave up tea

    then gave up soda

    took about 6 months to go caffiene free

    two years later started back on the tea

    two years after that had a cup of coffee and realized how caffiene sensitive I am

    The funny thing is, I'll go on a Starbucks run just to get out of the office. I really have no clue how to order a Starbucks, so write it down EXACTLY as I'm supposed to order the thing, or who knows what you'll end up with.

    BTW Real job or not, food and beverage work are great for second jobs to: save for vacation, pay off a car, pay off a student loan, or just keep busy so you're not spending money but in fact making a little extra twenty hours a week.

  • Smoking bans

    Apparently, getting shot down in a fighter jet and 5 years as a POW is not qualification to speak in a country that is not connected to ours.

    However, getting shot down in a fighter jet and 5 years as a POW is qualification to be president AND speak about economics in any country connected to ours.

    It seems. Today at least.

    Novak,Robert

    Mr. Novak is a syndicated columnist and editor of the Evans-Novak Political Report, a political newsletter he founded in 1967 with Rowland Evans

    Is this really news to you or do you have a case of the Monday's?

    I admit that I'm not fully conviced it's true, however. Or maybe I simply don't want to believe it because I want to believe he hit the pedestrian on purpose.

  • So is your name King?

    The interviewer is an idiot:

    "What is it about the Bay Area that gives us great stories like Balco?"

    It's like asking Derrick Rose what it is about Chicago that gives kids hoop dreams.

    And he didn't even ask about Buster and Daisy.

    China can't control content after everyone leaves the country. With a little creativity and some ninja skills, one can stockpile some footage to show everyone at home.
