Agree on that, disagree on the Flames. Substitute this one instead:

Seriously. Screw you NotBob - I like having the names on the jerseys. I hate the "who's that?" and I hate having to look crap up all the time.

Well, you can't tell the players without a scorecard.

Indian Man Takes Yoga Title

A computer programmer and part-time yoga instructor has won the title of the first "Yogalympics." Vridhay Ganguly, of Calcutta, narrowly defeated Sri Lankan Sourav Dravid in a sudden death pose-off after tying in the timed events. "I would have thought my competitor would not be hindered by a simple Matsyasana," Ganguly said, "but competition can make concentration difficult. This is a great victory for me. I feel very serene."

Competive yoga is a new but rapidly growing sport throughout Southern Asia, and it's popularity is spreading. American David Hackfeld finished 19th.

I'm stunned. Speechless.

And the yoga thing is interesting too.

Battle Raging
 

So, has anyone ever heard the phrase "strength in depth"? It doesn't really make much sense to me, but this British guy on my desk is insisting that it is correctly used in an e-mail he sent out.

Everyone but the British guy says it should be "lack of strength" or "lack of depth" or "lack of strength and depth". The British guy even came to me before he sent out his e-mail to ask if I've heard the phrase. I said I hadn't, but he may want to google it.

(At least the UK dude knows I'm the answer man.)

Battle Raging
 

What is it supposed to convey? Weakness?

Battle Raging
 

Yes.

It's ridiculous, no? (The guy can't even get his own countrymen to back him.) The battle has been won. By the good guys.

Won't your husband become insanely (and dangerously) jealous if he finds out there's a British dude on your desk? I'm sure you're just using him as a paperweight or something, but, you know, appearances, and all that. I guess it's better than a British guy under your desk, but still...

Battle Raging
 

Then is it trouper or trooper?

Battle Raging
 

I thought you answered this question for yourself when you looked up the word. It's trouper. As in uncomplaining member of a troupe, not indefatigable "may I see your license and registration" trooper.

This concept alone sounds like the culmination of a cheesy-good movie. Bring it On? Drumline? A Night with Slave?

Reward In Duck Killing Tops $5,000

I will personally donate $100 cash for someone to kick the shit out of this guy.

Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the man who repeatedly ran over the ducks, police reported. Public donations have more than quadrupled the money. The reward currently stands at $5,100 and climbing, said NBC11 reporter Jonas Tichenor.

The driver ran over the ducks and threw some against or in his car around 12:30 a.m. Aug. 5 at the car wash, located at 981 E. Hamilton Ave., police said. The entire incident was caught on videotape.

Since Thursday, three ducklings have hatched at the car wash, bringing the duck population to about 15, Davis said. The ducks have been a car wash staple for the last 34 years, according to Davis.

The video is quite disturbing - who would kill defenseless ducks?

I have heard the expression in a sports context - i.e. the [baseball team] has a deep bullpen - so they have strength in depth. Something along those lines. Meant to convey the opposite of weekness.

I like to swim downstream. I am a lazy swimmer so I want the draft, but as long as they are not behind me my bad water shouldn't bother them.

A serial killer in the making.

Did you ever hear about that guy who reached into a woman's car, grabbed her bichon frise, and threw him into freeway traffic?

It's trouper, from actor/dancer - member of a theatrical troupe. e.g. someone who goes on stage despite having voice troubles or a broken leg.

My sister's dog gets rather pissed off if you don't kill defenseless ducks when he sees them. The look of disdain and contempt on a laborador retriever's face if you shoot and miss is something that I try to avoid at all costs. That and getting up at 4:30 in the morning to sit in a cold, wet blind waiting for the damned ducks to show up.

Heinous duck killer
 

But would he want you to run them over with the car? And pick them up yourself to throw against walls?

I think not.

My labrador has only ever attacked a defenseless tennis ball. Also yellow and fuzzy, but more fun to toss.

One of mine only goes for cats. The other only goes for defenseless food that has been prepared for his consumption.

Yes. That was in the same general area. Maybe road rage is bad in Santa Clara? That guy got 3 years. I hope this guy gets 3 years and an ass whooping.

One of our neighbors is a former court reporter and she told me about a guy who video taped himself killing a cat. She said the video was so grizzly that she couldn't watch it. That guy also got 3 years.

It takes a really disturbed mind to do something like that.

Update...
A tip line has been created and more than $8,500 in reward money has been raised for information leading to the arrest of the man responsible for slaughtering 10 ducks at a popular Campbell car wash on Aug. 5.

The license appears to be a California vanity plate with four characters, a space, and two more characters, Patterson said.

The car appears to be a late '80s or early '90s red two-door Acura Integra, or something similar. A small, rectangular sticker was visible on the bottom left corner of the rear window.

The driver appears to be in his late teens or early 20s, with short, dark brown hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans.

Well, to be fair, the duck is generally dead before he gets to it. He doesn't have anything to do with the duck's demise, just the retrieval of the corpse.

One of the worst things I've ever seen in my life was a bunch of kids outside a fireman's hall during some sort of feast (or, now that I'm thinking about it, it could have been a Duck's Unlimited auction) in a small town in central Texas throwing frogs into air conditioning condensers when I was about ten or so. I loudly, loudly objected to what they were doing, and they started throwing the frogs at me. Poor frogs.

The boys in my neighborhood found a bunch of snake and were throwing them in front of cars. I was OK with that. Until they started throwing them on people. Then I freaked out. I hate snakes. The fewer the better.

I would seriously want to drag those kids, by their ears, to their parents, and point out to those parents that callous disregard for animal life is a typical trait of a serial killer.

You know what is disgusting about this story? The fact that people will pay money to capture a duck killer, but will completely fucking ignore when a human being is killed.

That's not true. When people who are as cute as ducklings are killed, it's the story of the century. See, e.g., Laci Peterson.

I never understood the killing animals thing. WTF kind of kick could that provide. I understand hunting and why it has to be done, but I can’t even do that. Unless it was attacking me, I don’t think I could kill any animal. Humans, on the other hand...
