Most of what I know about Oprah’s show I learned from all the horrible spam and as-seen-on-TV crap that brags of her raving about it.
Ok, coolest thing I’ve seen today: tr.im/jRJ7 Nice job, ESPN. You win.
I like this enigmatic quote from Carpenter on quitting tobacco: “I do have the willpower to do it, and I just haven’t been able to do it.”
“I’d like to get carryout.” She asked “Order for lunch?” & I said yes. She handed me 4 ordered lunches. It took some time to clear that up.
While I don’t know if it would succeed, I’d love to rent the room behind the windmill at Bevo Mill. (via @MayorSlaydotcom, 1 plan is a B&B.)
“However, the U.S. Passport Card cannot be used for international air travel.” I’m confused that anyone bothers with that.
Shopping carts should have a digital readout in the handle displaying scores from that week’s users’ thumbs up/down review buttons.
Researching for an upcoming vacation. Review raves “Impressed with the fact that there was no threat of violence on the island anywhere!!”
Hooked up Directv to the Internet via a couple powerline adaptors, so I can do that OnDemand crap now. First up, Iron Giant!
Slung t-shirts at sports games are much like the woot boc: the only people more disappointed than those who missed it are those who got it.

Twitter makes me feel like I’m in the pressbox with @fungoes @matthewhleach and @miklasz, except for the inclusive beer and nachos.
Hugely recommended: left field landing. They won’t let my Cardinals cup empty of beer. And they brought us pasta because we’re vegetarian!
We’re living in the most strongly identifiable and datable pop music era I remember being able to identify while still within it. #Autotune.
My nephew’s tee-ball team was voted to be named the Muckdogs. What’s the etymology of that name? I only find a couple other baseball refs.
My MLB-manager strategy: All replacement-level pitchers, all DH-style hitters, errors and high ERA be screwed, we’ll just score 12 a game.
Was fairly certain I ran over a cat on the way home until @__ pointed him out staring at us from a yard. Seemed to be untouched & fine. Whew
The Cardinals got 26 triples in 2008 (via @zekewilliams ) Anyone know how many times a Cardinals player got 4 or more hits in 2008?
So far it’s 57 runs in the last 8 games. So, averaging over 7 a game. I guess that’s one way to deal with losing your ace(s).
