ESPN Courts Female Viewers With World's Emotionally Strongest Man Competition | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

The Onion now has a Sports section. Hopefully, they won't be adding a Burning Man section any time soon.

"BRISTOL, CT—Sports broadcasting giant ESPN, whose programming has long been a staple among male television viewers of all ages, made its first foray into women's sports programming with the introduction of the World's Emotionally Strongest Man Competition Monday"

Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things.

Wow. This is cool. If I ever leave the house/agency axis, I might go get me some fruit.

Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things: "Los Angeles maps of fallen fruit ripe for the taking
Picture 1-36Fallen Fruit is a website run by people who encourage you to grow fruit on the perimeter of your property and allow others to harvest it. They also have maps of Los Angeles neighborhoods that are bearing lots of free fruit.

Sarah Rich writes in the Oct/Nov issue of ReadyMade: 'CalArts professors Dave Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young are accidental farmers. After discovering an arcane Los Angeles city law that makes any fruit overhanging on sidewalks public property, the trio founded Fallen Fruit, a mapping project that promotes access to the city's free and forgotten oranges, bananas, and apricots.'

Where I live, there are plenty of grapefruits, figs, persimmons, and guavas. I also have some olive trees, but I bit into an olive and it burned like acid.

News Of the World - Online Edition: "We also reveal the depths of deluded Croydon-born Kate's cocaine addiction, which earned her the nickname of ‘The Conjurer' because of the way she sets up lines of the drug.

Last week Kate's drug addiction hit the headlines after she was pictured snorting cocaine through a rolled-up banknote.

But the secret depraved sex life the drug has triggered is even more shocking—and it began three years ago at posh Claridges with pals Sadie, 41, and 27-year-old Davinia.

'Kate was high and the other two were drunk at a bash. They went up to a suite and got in bed together,' said a source close to Kate. 'Kate started chatting about sex. She had already been to bed with Sadie—so she asked Davinia if she had ever done it with a woman before and, bosh, that was it."

The Rapists!

I've been calling therapists this week. Appointments set for next week. Maybe things are looking up. Hard to say.

Trying to be better, trying to be good.

Hope that this time happiness will stick. Or at least contentment. We'll see.

At the very least, I'll be putting some therapist's kid in braces.

Kanyé'



It comes from Tulane's football coach saying that he didn't care about the

effects of the hurricane, he'd play in 'the parking lot of Popeye's fried

chicken' if he had to.



the "I'm with Kanyé" part comes from the ensure-for-dizzert rap star's

comments mixed with last year's team name, "I'm with Ricky" (Williams, who

quit to go travel the world and smoke pot).

Tulane's football coach tells Katrina where to stick it

WE’LL PLAY IN A POPEYE’S PARKING LOT

Tulane’s football program is running on duck tape and happy thoughts right now. Chris Scelfo, their coach, has adopted a damn-the-torpedoes attitude toward Katrina’s drastic effect on their season:

“I’ll play in the parking lot of a Popeye’s Fried Chicken and so will my team,” Scelfo said.”

Scelfo has slept nine hours since August 28th. Tulane will play out their season in Ruston, Lousiana at Lousiana Tech’s facilities. La. Tech, scheduled to play Florida this weekend, hasn’t exactly been unaffected by Katrina, either.

Burning Man Defies Katrina? / In the wake of epic tragedy, how can a massive, feral party in the desert possibly matter?

Wrung out and crazy from Burning Man and getting outside myself and then toooo far outside myself and then having to come back and deal with raw screaming heebie-jeebie dreams about dogs attacking children and I'm attempting to break my sleeping pill addiction and work is a bit nuts and spent part of Monday crying catching up on the news of Katrina.

But here's Mark Morford with his usual bits of poignant lunacy and I can't tell if I'm calming or exacerbating my condition.

Burning Man Defies Katrina? / In the wake of epic tragedy, how can a massive, feral party in the desert possibly matter?: "Look at it this way: Katrina slammed us all in one direction, toward pathos and melancholy and emptiness, the sense that we are but fragile and unbalanced things, ever teetering on the edge of the abyss, confused and scared and not nearly as secure or socially healthy as we like to think. And then we have events like Burning Man to help, in some small way, to slam us right back, toward heat and celebration and energy, toward survival, toward frustration and laughter and raw bleating life. What value, that?"
