The longer you wait, the more satisfying the accumulation in the clear vacuum bin.

Harley is looking very dapper for such an untameable beast.

I guess they're getting some buzz, but it's a real test of the "all publicity is good publicity" theory.

Now I can't watch this Eagles game because of my belief that whenever I develop a rooting interest, that team loses. (It's a Kansas-based rule but I'm expanding.)

And I'm about to be among Eagles fanatics for a week who will be grumpy if they lose today.
