first place yankees!

free curry for everyone! great job by the yanks. great job by hideki, who apparently loves porn. doesn't everyone? great job by pettitte/jeter/posada/rivera as well. great to see them win again. great to have your baseball team playing in october/november. walking into work with my yankee hat on before game six and people were smiling at me or nodding at me or even straight up yelling, "go yanks!" at me. everyone is into it. just a great feeling. yesterday, i walked toward the parade and could see masses of people in yankees gear and ticker tape drifting from the sky. just a great week in new york. first place yankees! great to be able to say that for the whole off season.

a couple of jams from miller high life...

what i'd really like is some photos from lambeau on sunday, but obviously i love jam recommendations. also loved this pic. looks live everyone's having a lot of fun. also love that paul molitor's hat fits him so poorly. i feel like i've been suffering from this lately. i feel like i could hide birds in my yankees hat. anyway, much love to milwaukee and the miller high life.

Kind of love this E6 band Nana Grizol.  Check out Things That Haven't Come Yet off their new album or Voices_Echo_Down_The_Hall off their first.  Reminds me of Islands (and all of NG's E6 sidekicks).

miami spice going to see the neckface show...

a great find by miller high life...

this is an interesting story about how bukowski (a.k.a. hank chinaski) fell in love with the personal computer late in his career (beginning in 1990). love the idea of him listening to classical jams on that boom box in the picture and trying to figure out how to use that mac.

how about a little nerding it up?

cool photos of england...

 

Sunderland vs. Liverpool, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, 16th August 2008

this guy traveled around england in a motor home for six months taking pictures of britons at leisure. really liked these pics.

nice find by god shammgod...

it's an australian graffiti artist named stormie. cool stuff. here's an interview and here's a good flickr round up. thanks be to god (shammgod).

so gay for gay rod right now...

nearly cried when joba gave up that home run, but the yanks got it right back the next inning thanks to some nifty base running by johnny damon and more clutch hitting from a-rod. seriously amazed by a-rod this year. he's been freaking nuts. loving the yanks right now. good times.

thanks to barry for finding this one.

1-1...

great win for the yanks last night. HUGE performance from burnett, big hit from matsui (free toppings at go-go curry today) and just a must have for the yanks. now it's back to philly on saturday. first place yankees!

russian mushroomers...

True devotees are unapologetically competitive, hiding their secrets from the neighbors and slyly covering their baskets with cloth when someone approaches.

At its best, mushroom hunting is a trance state, blotting out everyday concerns like the passage of time, or the way home. Herein lies the problem. Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations does not keep statistics on lost mushroomers, and a spokeswoman said the number of the missing was so small as to be statistically irrelevant. `

But reports trickle out from regional rescue services throughout the fall: The western region of Kaluga conducted 21 searches for mushroom hunters, of whom seven were brought to safety, five were found dead and nine were still missing.

miller high life is excited for fall (mother fuckers)...

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I'm about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it's gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall.

wow...

Andre Agassi used crystal meth while he was playing professional tennis, according to a new autobiography to be released next month.

In 1997, Agassi was struggling with his game and with his decision to marry actress Brooke Shields. His assistant, identified as Slim, introduced him to the drug, according to the excerpt.

"Slim is stressed too ... He says, You want to get high with me? On what? Gack. What the hell's gack? Crystal meth," Agassi recounts in the book. "Why do they call it gack? Because that's the sound you make when you're high ... Make you feel like Superman, dude.

"As if they're coming out of someone else's mouth, I hear these words: You know what? F*** it. Yeah. Let's get high.

pretty excited for man dinner...

getting together with some loyal readers for some booze and schnitzel tonite and couldn't be happier about it. the lineup will [hopefully] include andre the giant, barry beck, miller high life, earl d. babst, dave winfield and a much anticipated visit from the mighty goldberg, who comes to us all the way from o-town. yay area! very excited for some man time. that's right. man time. observe and respect.
