The chat log from ex-Rep. Foley (R-FL) is one of the more disgusting/disturbing things I’ve read recently. I couldn’t finish it because it creeped me out too much. It is available on wikipedia if you want to search for it. Technorati Tags: wtf
The game was televised on ESPNU which I don’t get at my house. Unfortunately this forces me to watch the game at BW3′s which is loud and the bartender wears a Notre Dame jersey just to piss me off. It also means I didn’t take notes like I normally do. For what its worth: The [...]
That quote headline from Google News sure caught my eye. Here’s the article and here are some sweet quotes: The New Orleans’ Superdome has already hosted six Superbowls and four Final Fours, but no sporting event ever played at the arena has been as significant and momentous as the one that will take place there [...]
Here are some nicknames for North Dakota: Peace Garden State, Roughrider State, Flickertail State. Yeah … Roughrider … Flickertail. Mmmmmm hot. While ranked 19th in total area ND is ranked 47th in total population. The total population of ND is 642,200, while the population of the Richmond-Petersburg metropolitan area is around 1.1 million. Cows out [...]
A Virginian kid just graduated from UVA in 1, count ‘em 1 year. He double majored in Math and Physics. He is 18, and came in with 72 AP credits (he took the tests without taking the associated classes). 23 credits in the fall, 37 in the spring, and 3 in the summer. He said [...]
[i arrive home from work, park on street, walk towards front door, see begger in front of my house with sign, approach] my internal voice: man, i just had a long day at work, why do i have to deal with this? this guy looks like he’s on crack, but he could get a damn [...]
From CHPN.net‘s neat real-timeish incident report: Mon Sep 18 – Sun 9/17, around 1am, 2 attempted robberies were reported: The first occurred on 28th street (not sure of cross street). Two African-American males approached a parked car with a sawed-off shot-gun. The driver of the car sped away and was not harmed. A short time [...]
Allen and Webb had a debate yesterday on Meet The Press. It took up the entire 1 hour show, and it is available online to watch for free, here. Under the big ugly picture of the two candidates, it says “Click here to watch Sunday’s entire show.” Click on that. Even though it looks like [...]
Some thoughts on today’s smothering victory over the Blue Devils. Sean Glennon! He had great numbers today: 15-25, 301, INT, 2TD. Not only did he have a good game statistically he had a good game mentally. After shaking off some dust Glennon rocked it pretty hard in the second half. Today I saw him check [...]
You think Richmond is humid? Ha! Nearly twenty percent of Florida residents are 65 or older. That means out of every five people you see on the street one will be saggy (spell check suggested “slaggy” — which is not the same thing) and wrinkly. Real backwoods folk live in Florida, not Virginia. These dudes [...]
The long time Richmond landmark — I guess you can call their silly mural a landmark — is being demolished today. It has been closed for a while now. Hopefully something interesting will take its place, ie. not surface parking. Technorati Tags: Richmond, Virginia
Almost a year ago I wrote a little article on the creepy racists hit pop band Prussian Blue. Little did I know that in just one year over 450 people would read the article and that it would rack up over sixty comments (and counting). Of course not all of the comments are really legible [...]
I am so well spoken: “I think the Wii is definitely something new and exciting, and it will be interesting to see how well it does,” said Ross Catrow, a Richmond Web developer who spends a few hours a week playing games. “It lends itself to more smaller, unique boutique ideas. “Whereas you look at [...]
State wide moment of silence today at 9:42, followed by a ringing of the Capitol Square bell. Small cerimony is open to the public. link
We learned a lot in college football this week. We learned Ohio State, and Notre Dame could be the real thing. We also remembered that Florida State still sucks. Here are some take-aways from VT’s game against UNC. Sean Glennon’s first road game start could have gone better. It seemed like all of Glennon’s passes [...]
