I notice there's an American Diner in my general vicinity. As Pittsburgh fan, I found their banner amusing.

He raped that burger, you know.  Undisclosed settlement.

Hey Mart, there are "Visit Poland" posters on the Tube at the moment. One says, "Visit a city you've never heard of," with a captioned picture of Warsaw  Now, I know Brits have a reputation for geographical ignorance, but that's just ridiculous 

A few years ago we had Romanian ones:
"Travel back to the Middle Ages!"

We're in a golden age

The golden age of men's tennis was the 80s: Borg, Edberg, Lendl, Becker, McEnroe, Connors, Leconte, Noah, Agassi, . . .

No doubt.  I wasn't able to see that though

I remember the Sampras Dominance which was generally pretty dull.  I think the Nadal-Federer-Djokovic-Murray top 4 is one of the best though and there've been some incredible matches.  It's been a great time to be a tennis fan.

Things to note: West Africa, Algeria, Quebec, New Caledonia, Occitania, Brittany, France and Lebanon are all members of the Francophone Union, which is to the West what the Co-Prosperity Sphere of Japan, Mengkukuo, Manchukuo, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines is to the orient.

  Horrid.  I remember hearing an interview with the chief dentist of the Minnesota prison system, and he said that his dental budget for the year is now wiped out in about six weeks due to the influx of meth-heads and their dental issues.  The high recidivism rate isn't helping either.  Terrible stuff.  People need to stick to pot and mushrooms.

This new look is going to take me some getting used to. I'm so used to another look that at first I thought I was on the wrong site.

They specialize in burgers, though the variety isn't too hot IMO, so not sure if I'll ever try them or just go to TGIF.

Do you have: the big hunger?

Hey Moneyball is an alright flick.

Just read in my brand new, DISCOUNTED Economist that it's common in China for stressed out people to take out their tensions by crushing packets of instant noodles in the supermarket.

I seriously want to bone my history prof.  I could listen to her lectures all day.
