I get away ...
Daryle Ward Will Eat Your Children In Broad Daylight
The Chicago Cubs have just won their ninth straight game. In related news, Hell has frozen over, pigs are flying, gas is now 75 cents a gallon, and Andy Dick just had sex with a girl.

Beijing Opening Ceremony Performers And American Astronauts Have Much In Common
Say, remember those Opening Ceremonies from Beijing the other night? Pretty awesome, right? There was a globe! And glowsticks! And a scrim! And all kinds of crazy shit!

Morning Blogdome: John McEnroe Tossed From Tennis Tournament For Acting Like John McEnroe
• It's this type of behavior that drove Tatum O'Neal to cocaine: "The 49-year old hot head was disputing a line call when he received a code violation for using an obscenity.

Andrea Joyce Makes Tiny Gymnast Cry; Enjoys It
Problem: We want captured terrorist suspects to talk, but conventional torture methods are morally troublesome and politically dangerous. Solution: Andrea Joyce!
