Man, I gotta throw out some love to The Onion. With Casey out in LA, I’ve been catching up on some playoff hockey, and then today I saw this from…

There is something so soothing about that chorus in The Who’s "Pictures of Lily" which captures almost-perfectly that post-orgasmic wash…

We all miss Big Baby Jesus, and no we ain’t talking about that little December squirt of joy, hell it ain’t even Thanksgiving yet. Y’all can start shopping on Friday. And if you do, pick up Jamie Lowe’s new book, Digging for Dirt: The Life and Death of ODB (that’s Ol’ Dirty Bastard, R.I.P., of the Wu-Tang Clan), a biography that’ll make a great stocking stuffer for anyone’s grandma. Michael Louie reviews, while Mr. jock draws Mr. Dirt McGirt in kind.

Quitting an addiction, any addiction, is no easy matter. Whether it’s crack, meth, heroin, or an MMO, the longer one pursues a dragon (or maybe an Orc in this case), the harder it is to give up the chase.

Hockey Night: an occasional column
Michael Louie04.17.08
Procrastination be damned! Mike Louie is an unabashed Philadelphia Flyers fan and this column is one in an occasional series he will write on sports, particularly the NHL Playoffs, which have been underway for about a week now. This time he responds to the Washington Post’s Mike Wise, who, in a bad attempt to imitate one of Louie’s favorite writers, ended up looking foolish across the Internet by scribbling not the best informed column about the Flyers-Capitals game Tuesday night.
