That’s a New York Times illustrator drawing a rabbit hopping out a turtle’s shell. You thought that was a dog? How unsophisticated you must be.

I try and pretend John Gruber will someday understand the importance of the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s not just because he lives in Philly; it’s because McNabb is better at the end of the regular season (and playoffs) than Romo, the offense is going to kick more ass than Roy Williams and Witten this season, and Westbrook (even when injured) is a much better RB/WR than Marion Barber could ever hope to be.
Gruber’s frown is probably because of the beating the Eagles gave to the Cowboys in week 17. But who am I to talk shit? My team might be having the worst offseason in NFL history.
Bought at an unnamed hole-in-the-wall joint on Broadway, this taco wins for smallest taco versus price, dissatisfaction upon finishing two of them, and for the orange-est grease dripping out of aluminum foil packaging.
You make me sad, taco.
Hey, you like incredibly awkward and vulgar interview segments that end up with the host being roasted on his debut episode, right? Then here’s Artie Lange vs. Joe Buck.
Favorite part of the HBO.com bonus segment: Joe Buck calls Artie Lange out on having four chins. His response: “Four. The show you won’t get to.”

“ I believe (with no supportive evidence) that [Brandon] Marshall is “rehabilitating” in Orlando instead of at Dove Valley because he doesn’t want his hip to be examined, his health might be worse than suspected and he couldn’t renegotiate. ”
Woody Paige, in his June 16 column, adding a new angle to why Brandon Marshall skipped a mandatory training camp.
While I agree Denver gives him chance after chance, and I’m also tired of it, it’s harsh to connect his bad behavior to Darrent Williams’s death.
“ He’s another one with those dog movements that most of them have here, those dog-paw gestures. He hates his wife. Hates his children. Drinks. Shirks. Man is an ideal hell to his fellow man. And everything gives him phenomenal grounds to be the way he is. ”
Thomas Bernhard, Frost
Question
How often in your early twenties do you have a chance to go to a new city as part of a program, being enrolled in a new college, etc.? For me, this will be the second time — if accepted — that I move away from Denver to a place I’ve never visited before with only a little idea of what’s waiting for me.
The first place was Eugene, OR, which was for college. I knew what to expect, and it didn’t deviate totally from what I envisioned: a smaller Boulder, a place that’s progressive but surrounded by conservative towns. Eugene is the typical campus town in a shell all its own while the rest of the city orbits nearby, never able to really get away from Ducks this-or-that.
This next place isn’t one I’m going to say just yet. I will say that if I’m accepted to this program, it’ll be despite not making the deadline. But even if there’s a chance you can change the life you know, do something you maybe never thought you’d do, and see a whole new place in the process — why not try?
