*snort* I’m sorry, but don’t even pretend you can read that headline without giggling.

Don Knotts, one of the greatest comedic actors in history, has died at the age of 81. Official site. Google links. G’night, Barn’….

Or whatever you call a guy who plays the bejeezus out of a ukelele. Anyway, Debby Levinson of the Pit’s Boston Technology Desk informs us that the uker from the video I posted a few days back is one Jake Shimabukuro. You can visit his site here.

Bode Miller feels good about himself and his performance. Really, it’s not about winning, it’s about being happy with how you feel about your 0-fer. Let’s review: Miller, the World Cup overall champion a year ago, will leave the Italian Alps without a medal. He finished his lackluster Olympics by straddling a gate just a few seconds into his run,

The world’s newest rising global statesman said that to the National Prayer Breakfast on February 2. He also said this: It’s not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It’s not an accident. That’s a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.

Let’s play another little hypothetical game, history fans. It’s 2006, and Mt. Rushmore was never chiseled.

Your assignment today: read this bit on the “Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004,” and think about it.

So, does this mean The Sex Pistols won’t be attending their R&RHoF induction? Actually, I wish they would go. How much fun would it be to see Johnny turn the event upside down? Besides, the secret inner mystery of punk is that it was about the sellout, right? So sell out. Show up. Eat it alive from the inside.

Holy crap. This kid needs horse tranquilizers.

What isn’t clear from the story is whether the guy drew this up on his own or whether it’s standard Promise Keepers boilerplate.

All I can say about this guy is damn. That’s just amazing.

Here’s how it works. You can go to any point in history and change one thing. Maybe you erase someone. Alter the course of a battle. Delay or speed up the introduction of an innovation. Etc.

Just a quick note. The Italian language appears not to have a term for “calm down.” Thank you. We now return you to GOLTV and FSC, two channels that seem to think Lazio is the only team in Italy…..

As you may or may not know (or care), I turned 45 last Thursday. As I have observed before, I think of my age as sort of an average. Emotionally I’m about 14, but my knees feel like they’re 80. 45 is in there somewhere. Anyway, some thoughts and observations and factoids. 1: On my birthday I played golf with
