Name that movie. (No googling.)

Sorry, I'm drawing a blank.

I may be too emotional about this, but it's because I was personally affected by one of these shootings at a club, by a football player. Pac-Man and his posse caused Minxx in Vegas to go from being a fine establishment to fugly central.

White Men Can't Jump. Awful movie. Good scene.

I think 2 years is a little harsh, but tend to agree with you. Fuck him. Don't walk around with $300,000 worth of diamonds on your neck, ears, hands, wrists, whatever (especially in clubs where motherfuckers don't give a shit how big you are when they snatch your shit) so you don't need a gun or do the time if you get caught with one.

(Minxx? Really?)

The guy who didn't want to get beaten in the clam-shucking by a girl? Fuck him.

I think he was also the one who asked Jennifer if she was the pastry chef at Eric Ripert's restaurant.

He would be the one. I'm hoping that he goes down after a verbal lashing from Toby.

I may have to watch this season since there are three SF chefs, including two at places I have eaten regularly - http://sf.eater.com/archives/2009/07...s_revealed.php

Yeah, but you see, I hate Toby too. So it would be nice if they went down together, like two hyenas fighting over a morsel of dead wildebeest who end up killing each other and the vulture getting the wildebeest.

I was pleasantly surprised to see him NOT at the judges table this episode, but the Bravo website lists him as being on the show this season.

I'm hoping more guest judges launch the food they don't like across the room. That was funny.

There are no Texas chefs this year. Though Houston chefs are getting all sorts of love in magazines and awards, especially at Feast and Reef.

Usain Bolt

How awesome is this guy?

After shattering his own 100-meter record (answering the question, "just how fast could he have gone in Beijing if he hadn't stopped to celebrate?") by .11 seconds, he just did the same to his 200-meter record.

.13 faster than Michael Johnson. Holy shit.

But is he gender qualified?

Seems excessive to me.

A female colleague thought it was uncouth that they're gender-qualifying Semenya. I passed on the chance to make a "Semenya" tranny joke to point out that gender qualifying exists to protect the women who work their asses off to compete in women's sports. East Germany wasn't trying to pass women off as men, and Manny Ramirez wasn't trying to become a female. Of course, I also think allowing women into the PGA is bad for golf because it's bad for women's golf. Reducing the women's game to only those few who can compete with men (for distance, say) is net bad for women and for girls.

Yeesh. This reads like "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever," so let me say women should be allowed to compete in men's events if they wish, but acknowledge that it will unintentionally diminish the women's events to the JV of the human race, and athletics should not be so, any more than every bantamweight fighter should aspire to be a superweavyweight. Divisions exist to maximize the potential to excel.
