Curses

  Laura Lane is an ESPN The Magazine online writer who recently wrote some quotes in from Kobe Bryants wife Vanessa Bryant. Kobe’s wife, Vanessa, has opted to make her own fashion statement. Vanessa, who is usually prim and proper in all black has decided to have fun tonight with her outfit. She’s wearing a white tube [...]

For all the snickering about their beards, speculation about their drug use, and split decisions over their genius/madness, Baltimore's Animal Collective are steady and prolific with their weird. Water Curses, their latest, is led by its claustrophobic twitter of a title track. A voice sings a traditional melody -- really, it could be a Julie Andrews melody -- and birds seem to chirp somewhere in

I love blogging! Especially when artists get involved and are able to voice their opinions uncensored (except Khia, her blogging privileges should be revoked) . In a post titled “F*ck Entertainment Weekly I’m Sick of Ya’ll Sh*t”, Kanye West spassed out on EW for giving his concert a B+ review: Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; [...]

While there are many rivalries (think Capulets and Montagues) and many curses (think Celie Johnson's curse on husband Albert in The Color Purple) this past weekend saw a new twist in legendary sports rivalry. Sports fans are probably well aware of both the rivalry and the curse...but not everyone is a sports fan so a little recap. and The story goes that in 1920 the Redsox sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees and brought upon themselves the "Curse of the Bambino" (insert spooky music here)! This curse is often cited as the reason for the 86 year drought that saw no World Series win for Boston. Red Sox Nation finally broke the curse in 2004 with their sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series! But there is more...Over the weekend news broke of another impending curse!!! Appare

This story brings so many thoughts to mind, I'm not really sure where to begin. First off, a short summary for those of you that haven't heard about this yet:A construction worker's bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled Sunday when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot.Second of all, a few observations. If you're going to do something like this - keep it quiet until the construction is done and it's past the point of no return. Next - we need to sent this story to Homeland Security and have them learn from this: On Saturday, construction workers who remembered the employee, Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips about the shirt's location. "We had anonymous people come tell us where

"Shell Curses" is a library of script functions that provide the shell programmer the ability to perform text-based cursor movements to specified locations on the screen. This ability permits the creation of menuing and data-entry systems using shell scripts without the need for compiled binaries. These functions are similar to the "C" language "Curses" library.

What the holy hell is going on with the spam all of a sudden? My spam filter has caught more than 700 spam comments since Friday, and I’ve deleted another dozen or more spam trackbacks. That’s about four times what it usually is. Seriously, I’m getting a little annoyed. And the vast majority of them have Greek names attached to them - go figure. I wade through all of them, because the spam filter does occassionally snag a legitimate comment by mistake, but it’s getting to be an onerous task. I may have to look into some sort of comment validation, much as I hate those things. Sigh. The splogs are getting out of hand, too, but while I find it annoying to see that “Floyd wrote an interesting piece on (keyword): here’s an excerpt” followed by my content, I don’t have the heart or the inclination to follow up on each and every one of them. (I’m finding about three a week these days through the trackback spam.) Did I mention

View poll HI FRIENDS…..ATTACK TIME……. So now it's Taslima Nasreen. Gang of 40 from something called the Majlis-Ittehadul Muslimeen attack her at a book release function in Hyderabad, calling her anti-Islam. (Yes, 40. Apparently their calculation was that they would need that many men to tackle one woman). Then the leader of the MIM, a MLA called Akbaruddin Owaisi, actually "warned that Taslima will be killed if she steps into Hyderabad again" (Sunday Times of India, August 12). That's right, a death threat from an elected man. He claims that meaningless chestnut: Taslima has "hurt the sentiments of the Muslim community." (In parentheses: this kind of attack hurts the sentiments of my community which, including me, consists of one person. Why don't you give a damn, Akbaruddin Owaisi, or anyone else out there? This is a serious question.) (In more parentheses: There must be people left in this country whose religious or other sentiment

I know this is the Skinny Celebrities blog and Britney Spears is not at all skinny, but the "Britney Spears is acting crazy and/or stupid" stories that appear everyday are too entertaining to miss, so I have to post them.Britney said some very nasty words to a paparazzo that was filming her as she was driving off in her car (with her two kids screaming and crying in the backseat):"Hey baby when are you going to go on a diet? Have you ever tried Weight Watchers you fat f*ck!? Why don’t you run?! You need to f*cking jog you p*ssy. Yeah run, run b*tch!"Look who's calling someone else a "fat f*ck"!Anyway, you can watch the video here.Two more pictures of Britney Spears: smoking a cigarette and showing off her nasty-looking armpit:Photo source: justjared.buzznet.comEdit: For the person who asked what's "nasty-looking" about her armpit, here's a closeup:I don't know about you, but I find it unacceptable to go out like that. ESPECIALLY when you're a world-famous celebrity and you know

It appears that the Save LT from Madden campaign has been successful, but Titans fans may now be wishing they had started their own campaign. Reports are saying that last year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Vince Young will be on the Madden '08 cover. The infamous cover spot has been thought to bring players nothing but grief and bad luck throughout the past few years, and Young appears to be next in line behind Shaun Alexander, Daunte Culpepper, Donovan McNabb and others who have suffered injury or an overall lack of production following having their mugs on the popular game cover. An announcement is expected to confirm the report later today. For Tennessee fans, I guess it was good while it lasted...

Well, it’s all hallow’s eve, and it’s time for the weirdos and the creepy dudes to come out of hiding to make their voices heard.  This phenomenon is true no matter how “respectable” someone might seem.  Such is the case at many organizations throughout the country as well as even ESPN is not immune to such tomfoolery. A writer who shall go unnamed, namely because I can’t be bothered to remember such things that have such little impact on, well, anything, has come out and said it.  Oh yes, he went there.  When I actually tell you where he went, you’ll pull a horizontal head bob with the requisite triple snap with a “ooh no you di’in’t.”  Trust me.  This writer came out and said that the Big East is better than the SEC. Sacrilege I say!  How dare he.  It’s like saying that banana’s aren’t the most phallic looking fruit, instead giving the nod to a pear because of it’s “ball shaped ar

The Miss Junes are the Boston Red Sox of Playboy. With Kara Monaco as the 2006 Playmate of the Year, they have finally broken the apparent curse keeping any of them from winning the title. Monaco has simultaneously broken another curse. From 1964 to 2002, the PMOY was always the cover girl of her issue. But for the past three years, the woman in that month that the PMOY deserves the cover. Good

So, I was going to post a scathing indictment of "reality T.V." and how gullible most of the viewing public is, but then this mystery blogger who calls himself Kanrei beat me to the punch. Check him out, he's an excellent writer, and his blog is a by turns sobering and uproariously funny. He focuses on politics quite a lot, but he's a firm beliver in the "spoonful of humor helps the politics go down" theorem, so give him a read. Just to make it easier on you clicky impaired he'll be taking up residence as a fellow hooligan from now on, so you don't even have to google him. (Geez I just love using google as a verb. I can't wait 'till Websters catches up with that one.)Anyways, the site is called The Kanrei Home for Wayward Lemmings and it's one of the good ones.
