Sigh. I leave you guys for one week, and all hell breaks loose around here. Can’t you nerds just realize that you’re all nerds and embrace one another at the next Star Trek convention? Or do MORE than hug? Look, for a bunch of people who root for a team that hasn’t done dick in a century, you’d think you’d spend your energy getting mad at the franchise rather than each other. But what do I know? Roundup tips, as always, are greatly appreciated and can be deposited along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope here.
- Dammit, Juliet, it DIDN’T work! Also, why didn’t Sawyer at least try to take you to the temple?
- Speaking of Juliet, what if Lost premiered in 1967?
- Great. Another STAT (Get it? WINK!) in which we can finish toward the bottom. (HT: Pre) That Mazeroski statute is going to look awesome.
- I’m not sure why this judge got censured. I once paid my attorney in IOU Sex Coupons, and no one said boo about it.
- If there’s one think Wikipedia has too much of, it’s words. There are no entries yet for “Chicago Cubs” or “Lou Piniella.” Get on it, geniuses.
- Some poor croc hunter gets busted for doing what you guys do for eight hours a day.
- In former (thank God) Cub news, Kevin Gregg is set to blow games at 93 cents on the dollar.
- Speaking of former Cubs, the Reds are so bad right now, that they traded TWO living, breathing baseball players for Aaron Miles. What are the odds that he leads off at least one game under Dusty Baker?
- Rothschild, take a memo. Have Jon Paul Morosi killed.
- Since I’m apparently going full nerd in this Roundup, you might as well watch two attractive young ladies argue whether Han Solo or Indiana Jones is better.
- I hope you celebrated Groundhog’s Day by saying, “It’s cold out there today, campers.”
- You mean to tell me NO ONE is playing Strip Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma? I thought this was a free country.
- Would you be more impressed with Xavier Nady if I told you he had a season-long hitting streak under his belt? No? Well, I’m not telling you anything else that’s under his belt, you pervert.
- If you haven’t had your daily dose of mortality, maybe this video of people age 1 to 100 will help.
People In Order: 1. Age from James Price on Vimeo.
- George Lucas just won’t stop meddling with the Star Wars trilogy.
- I just don’t know what to say about this. I’m going to give a HT to Thrillho, because I think he posted this somewhere in the Shoutbox.
- Your weekly dose of nightmare fuel is from the White Sox Fan Convention. (HT: sman) Stick around for #30. Trust me.
- Since it’s Black History Month, your new site of the week is Stuff Black People Don’t Like. Well, the site isn’t new, but it’s new to me, dammit.
That’s it for me, dweebs. I heard you guys haven’t had a ray of sunlight in Chicago in about 8 months, so it’s no wonder you’re all so edgy. Enjoy the snowstorm tonight!
-Sweet Uncle Lou
