I should probably write something, huh?

You Think Better Of Me Than This, Right?
So I'm in Brooklyn this weekend, on the way to a in-home brunch party, and we stop off to pick up and bring one of those Dunkin Donuts' "Box-O-Joe"s. While she's pouring the box, I hear, "Oh, you're not going to like this." And, in fact, I don't. The Canton-based Dunkie's sells coffee boxes in the NY metro area that commemorate the Giants' Superbowl win.
Now, those of you who know me, know that I have a long list of dislikes, and near the top of that list are "Dunkin Donuts coffee" and "NY-based sports teams".
So, I thought, it would be just my luck to be hit by a car now, and have the headline in the Post read: "GIANTS FAN KILLED ON DUNKIN DONUTS COFFEE RUN". The embarrassment, for everyone I know who knows better. The cries at the funeral: "We never knew! He could have been open about his Giants fandom to us! Maybe he loved the Knicks, too!"
So happily for me, if not for narrative purposes, I made it across the street safely.

Best. Jury Duty Story. EVER.
Take the essential plot of Grumpy Old Men, change the characters from loveable old farts Lemmon and Matthau to two angry ex-cops with hair triggers, and ratchet up the mayhem and the hatred. Then throw the whole thing into court, and seat a local blogger and one of my favorite raconteurs onto the jury.
Pop a bag of popcorn, send the kids to play outside, and read Suldog's tale. Here are parts one, two, three, four and the conclusion.

Congratulations, America.
UPDATE: Well, not so much you, California. Seriously, WTF?

"Second Comes Right After First"
Hurty Elbow has compiled a list of runners-up in every Presidential election ever. Some of my favorites:
- Al Gore karaokeing "Any Way You Want It"
- Richard Nixon responding to his critics (far right)
- Alf Landon, no comment necessary
- John C. Breckenridge's amazing mustache
- and Henry Clay as the Cryptkeeper.
