What do they call a quarter pounder in France?

Also celebrating a birthday, the Ghetto Big Mac.

What you missed while scuttling your drug-running submarine...

The Virgin Islands, with former UCLA and Georgia coach Jim Harrick on the bench

Somebody check their birth certificates for authenticity.

What you missed while hearing from people in 6 different states all because your team lost a baseball game...

What you missed while Billy Wagner did his best Armando Benitez impression, inflaming your chronic gastritis...

Big Mac was last seen speeding around in a brand new sports car, with a yogurt parfait half his age.

What you missed trying to figure out Windows Media Maker and subjecting said results to unsuspecting Deadspinners...

The ESPN Memo vid (if you haven't seen it)...it wasn't that bad but it certainly wasn't that good either. That's what booze will do to ya, kids.

Why are American commonwealths gallivanting about FIBA as sovereign nations?

What you missed while being compared to John Cage from "Ally McBeal" and having no idea if it is a compliment or not ...

So, the Four Letter says Vick isn't pleading to gambling or the dog fighting charges. What else is there? I'm calling bullshit. The feds aren't going to reduce and amend charges for this dickweed.

@Rob Iracane: Those two asshats would give Mother Teresa a crisis of faith. Oh, wait...

Also sharing a birthday with the Big Mac, Julian Casablancas.

@Weed Against Speed: I need to see this.

@buttons: Hmm, I have to remember this for the next time my friends need to travel.

@Suss--: They are enforcing a subtle clause in the Monroe Doctrine. The Earl Monroe Doctrine that is.

How's that hangover, Packers fans?

Just wonderful, thanks.

Now I'll get drunk again over Driver possibly missing serious time.

What you missed while getting kicked in the Goldenballs...

That was the first time in a while that I saw the Packers play. Was that Sal Fasano at QB in the second half?

What you missed while doing bong rips with Grandma.

@Moonshine Mike: It was posted right before "To Watch Tonight" yesterday. Ugh.

@Afino: You could've had a Robert Ferguson...too bad.

@Steve518: No. Sal Mineo.

Great, my morning just got worse. Syracuse basketball player Andy Rautins done for the season already. Where's the bottle?

@Suss--: excellent use of "gallivanting."

I think it just gives the NBA another 'country' in their "hey look, we're international"

@Suss--:
It's fine, as long as we're using them to rack up wins. We better not lose to American Samoa or Puerto Rico, though. That's when the gallivanting has to end.

@Moonshine Mike: It was easily found on youtube. Like he said, its not bad but its not outstanding. IMO it needs a starwipe or ten.

Aaron Rodgers seriously looked like a smaller, less ripped Hulk Hogan. Look it up, do it.

@EdFinnerty: Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?

@Afino:

Heard about Rautins yesterday.

@UkraineNotWeak:

Yeah, I noticed it said Wednesday night, but I was out of commission most of yesterday.

@TheCirillios: Rodgers looked like he was channeling 70's porn with that 'stache.

@curlygirl: Country Time's still got a lot way to go to approach the quantity and magnitude of Benitez's implosions.

Last night stung, though. When the shit did the Padres start slugging?

What you missed while trying to figure out how to replace Herm Edwards with a Herm Edwards mannequin...which will unquestionably posess better play-calling and clock-management skills.

I'm not going to make it through this season, I can tell.

@What Would Cheeseheads Do?: You are correct, and seeing as I was mildly aroused in a public area, I'd kindly ask he not do it again

@Shea Guevara:

Losing last night to the Pods was tough.

Losing 6 of 7 during the season to the awful Reds, like the Braves did, is pathetic.

@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns:

On behalf of Jet fans all over, thank you for wanting Herm so much that he was willing to bolt from us. Throwing in a draft pick which turned out to be either Leon Washington or Brad Smith was just a bonus.

What you missed while thinking about how rad it must have been to come home from the record store on the day that Let It Bleed came out, putting it on and hearing 'Gimme Shelter' start blasting out of the speakers.

Then putting down the joint.

@TheCirillios: What was with his Vukovich/70's Gay Porn Star/Quasi-Fu Man Chu 'Stache?

@UkraineNotWeak: Its beyond pathetic. I'm so sick of them right now.

what you missed while ordering your tickets for the Queens of the Stone Age concert at First Avenue tomorrow night...

Boom, bitch.

@Weed Against Speed: I got them for the Atlanta show.

@Tobias Funke: Was fantastic no?

@Matt_T: Prepare yourself in whatever way necessary. QOTSA will fuck your shit up live. Trust me on that one.

@Weed Against Speed: May I also suggest you pick up some for the Art Brut/Hold Steady show. I think they're coming through the Twin Cities on 11/1.

@Weed Against Speed: It is going to be ugly. The UGA/Alabama game is that afternoon, so I am going to be drinking and watching that, then going to the show.

Mark McGwire may have been disgraced, but Big Mac Land @ Busch remains! And you still get a free Big Mac (at participating McDonalds*) if the Cardinals hit a home run there.

*very few McDonalds actually participate

@Camp Tiger Claw: Duly noted. Thanks, friend.

What you missed while watching trees get uprooted by the wind. And being completely without power, television, or internet access.

@UkraineNotWeak: I was on the record at ChiefsPlanet opposing it before the deal was signed. We (the Chiefs) had already seen his body of work...and it wasn't impressive. I often wonder just how high Carl Peterson must have been...

@Matt_T:

Me too.

@Weed Against Speed: This week was bad for me - two 16 hour days and two 12 hour days. and not enough of anything else.

Good use of music symmetry. Needs some motion on the photos.

@Moonshine Mike: I'll take that as a compliment. Grazie.

@Weed Against Speed: you should.

I have been prepping a video work for the inevitable Steely McBeam nomination.

@Camp Tiger Claw:

Re: Let it Bleed

I'm old enough to respond, "I did and it was."

@Afino: Screw Syracuse, Team Canada needs him! Steve Nash isn't walking through that door! Bill Wennington isn't walking through that door!

Also, if the Virgin Islands has its own team, how was Tim Duncan allowed to play for the U.S.?
