How To Deep-Fry Soft-Shell Crabs (Yes, Dammit, Deep-Fry Them)
Deep-frying is bullshit. It's messy and labor-intensive and user-unfriendly. It requires a ton of oil, most of which will be wasted, plus—most of the time anyway—dumb annoying messy crap like egg wash and flour and breadcrumbs. In its worst, most diabolical incarnations, it even requires friggin...
The Running Of The Bulls Keeps Happening Despite Shit Like This
A mere 23 people were injured during the most recent running of the bulls, which somehow is still a thing people do. The Associated Press has a gruesome rundown of the misfortunes that befell these silly twats, many of whom collided and bottlenecked at the entrance to the bull ring. Bulls then tramp...

J.J. Hardy mashed a three-run homer last night to lead the O's to an 8-5 win over the Blue Jays in Baltimore, with Chris Davis and Adam Jones adding round-trippers as well.

Transactions, July 12
Jack Dickey is leaving us for Sports Illustrated, the grown-up version of Sports Illustrated Kids. He'll also be writing weird things for Time.com.

Giant Robots And Giant Aliens. <em>Pacific Rim</em>, Reviewed.
1. Lord help me, I couldn't have been happier coming out of Pacific Rim. It's not a great movie—it's just barely a good one—but it is a damned relief. This is not a sour, darkened, lumbering, origin-story-spinning blockbuster complete with plodding backstory and a faux antihero at its center. It is...
