Monday

Opening day of the NBA season today

Over/under on months until Shaq breaks a sweat is set at 2.5.

Remember the Exxon Valdez?

Yeah, barely, me too. But there are some lawyers who can't forget: The Supreme Court is still trying to decide how many punnies (PYOO-nees) Exxon should pay for that whole bumblefuck. Exxon says $2.5 billion is excessive, and apparently the fight was hard on the affirmatives: "Lawyers for the plaintiffs, some of whom are deceased, said the damages award is 'barely more than three weeks of Exxon's net profits.'"

That's the best argument I've ever heard a dead lawyer make. If JP had his druthers, there'd have been a freshly-carved gavel hitting mahogeny a loooong time ago in this affair.

The most insane Packer fan lives in...

Well, Green Bay now, but it was Australia just a little while ago.

Wayne Scullino just moved to Green Bay from Sydney, Australia with his family for the sole purpose of satiating his ravenous hunger for Packermania. "The family is following the Packers to every game, all season, at home and way. Scullino quit his job and the family is financing the pilgrimage with the money they made from selling their Australian home."

Anyone want to go to Australia and follow a Rugby League team for an entire season?
