In this instance, he was the shark. I believe eh was Sidney's lover or husband when she got blown up. OH WAIT, they had just got married and then she got killed like five minutes after. I cant remember what happened to him as a result, but it was definitey the defining moment of suckitude for that show.


Do I need spoiler space? Merde!

This clearly was after I stopped watching. So Sydney at some point mooned over someone other than Michael? And she was blown to bits? If only I cared.

But, I did find this piece from a reivew of Skeleton Key. The context is that the reviewer thinks only C Lister actresses should make horror flicks:

"The Skeleton Key" could have made an outstanding episode of "The Twilight Zone." But from the moment they failed to cast Jennifer Love Hewitt in the lead, this movie was doomed to failure.

Casual Friday
 
New York City's swank Club Macanudo apparently has very high standards with their dress code.

The cigar club refused entrance to New York Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez, because the third baseman was wearing only jeans, sneakers and a T-shirt, all of which are prohibited in Macanudo's dress code, the New York Post reported Friday.

However, the club did allow A-Rod to enter — to buy some high-priced cigars, to go, the Post said.

How dare he go to a smoking establishment in a T-shirt. YOu must make your finest clothing stink like cigars.

If any of the LA crew wants White Stripes tickets, I've got Tuesday and Thursday, great seats, 10% under face value.

I was planning to use these, not sell, but with the baby, that's a problem.

I don't know whether it was Penske or Coltrane who suggested running on grass, but what a great idea!! I tried it this weekend (at the farm where my horse is -- the footing is good, I know all the trails, and it's lovely to boot!), and it was terrific. The whole lightning storm was sub-optimal, but I don't think it changes the soundness of the "run on grass" advice.

Thanks, man! (whoever you are)

The problem is finding miles or relatively flat surface. If you have to be constantly looking for holes to avoid it ruins the run.

I don't have a farm to go to, but once I was in Annemasse France visiting friends. The guy is a top line runner, like comes in 1st or 2nd in road races. Annemasse is a suburb of Geneva. He takes me to this place about 5 miles from his house where there are trails for horse riding or running that go on for miles. dirt trails are better than grass I think. The coolest part was that we apparently crossed the Swiss/France border several times during the run.

Of course being from Detroit I've run the Detroit Windsor races so I've ran internationally before, But I bet it sounds so exotic to the rest of you to do this.

But at a farm where horses run, the footing has to be checked constantly. If a horse hurts its leg badly enough, he needs to be put down, so I'm confident that the footing on the trails and the mown parts of the grass is good. Where there is a deep rut or hole, it's usually marked with a little flag.

There are hundreds of acres on this farm, where I've been riding for years. I know all the best routes -- and the added benefit is that what seems like not very far on a horse, is quite a bit longer when I'm doing the running myself. However, it doesn't seem as long, because I'm used to the horse doing all the work. You know, it's not as easy as it looks to run through an alfalfa field. You really need to pick up your feet!

By the way, alfalfa smells goooooood.

You're not talking about poo, are you? Haven't we gone over this?

It could be slippery, I suppose, and that could be substantially less than ideal, but at least your shoes won't get dirty.

Switch out Lesotho, throw in Liberia, and something or other in the Cook Islands for good measure. and you've got yourself an AML smorgasbord!

Since this week has gotten off to "dorkiest start ever" on the FB, did anybody see Franconeur's two outfield assists yesterday (both on Luis Gonzalez)? Unreal. He had to charge hard on a weird angle (both singles were towards the line and pretty slow rolling), and he came up and made absolutely perfect throws -- two of the best throws I've ever seen a RF make, and this from a guy who used to sit behind 3d base at Exhibition Stadium and watch Jesse Barfield gun down 15 guys a year trying to go from 1st-3d on a single. Franconeur has 8 outfield assists in something like 25 games in the majors this year. Move over Vlad.

Nauru is still my favorite. I believe its nothing more than depleted phosphate fields, a dozen huts and one building containing a massive pile of servers and mail boxes.

How does Israel wind up on the list of money laundering nations? Its been on the list a few times.
