And while I admire ES' industriousness, take it from a fellow flinger, much easier to porch that bad boy if you're throwing across the body. Otherwise you're just going to end up with some bad rotator cuff mojo......

Well, I never delivered newspapers, though I did deliver phone books one year. They tend to weigh you down when you're being chased through the yard by a mean dog.....

Too bad you didn't have ES with you back then....

Alas, it was just me and MaBeast (and a 1979 Chevy van full of Yellow Pages), and I'm sure she was entertained by it all.....

And I'm sure they're harder to throw.

British red squirrelly hegemons.

THIS WAS NOT THE MOST BORING DAY HERE:

Game 5 Stanley Cup Final Canadiens 1-0 victory in overtime to stave off elimination to the Detroit Red Wings. This victory set up one of the great Game 7's in Stanley Cup history -- the last time a Game 7 has gone to OT. Wrong team (Detroit) won, but still legendary.

Yeah, but they hurt worse if you throw them at said mean dog.
