Get ready. This post is a reader participation drive. You will have many opportunities to answer my questions. Eeeeeeeee!
Sure, you've run with the Bulls in Pamplona. Here in Melbourne we run with the bats. They swoop down very near you and screech while you run. They are pretty much guaranteed to improve your times.
For your first activity, please check out the photographic art of Chris Jordan.
Thanks to Jesse for this fantastic submission to to the all names team. I know who's jersey I want for Christmas. If only he were #55 instead of 15... (wistful)
My #1 locked starter on the all-name team will always be God Shammgod from Providence College. Wikipedia says he currently plays for the Portland Chinooks, but they don't list him in their 2006 roster. Come to think of it, scratch the Thorpe jersey, I want a Chinooks Shammgod jersey. Sarah, are you on that? (Wikipedia also tells me that a Chinook is a Native American tribe and a kind of sled dog. How did we ever survive before?) Can anyone tell me the best sportscenter line ever about God Shammgod?
Also reader, who's your favorite sports name. Dig deep. I want figure skaters. Bowlers. (Who am I kidding, they will all be from the NBA/NFL.)
Vinny Testaverde won a football game this weekend. This delights me. My free Halloween costume pick for you is a Testaverde Jets jersey, a Santa Claus beard, and a cane. Does he do Viagra commercials yet? He could just about do AARP commercials. I love it when my heroes never leave me. I guess this is like when people still pay money to see the former Rolling Stones tour. If Warren Moon were playing flag football in his backyard next weekend I would pay to watch.
Does your apple keyboard stick like mine and make you have weeekends and appples and other such nonseeense?
Have you downloaded the new Radiohead album? I like.
My iTunes has 6101 songs in it. The very best one, and the best song of the last 100 years is Gladys Knight and the Pips singing Midnight Train to Georgia. This seems to me to be a matter of fact. That said, I'm opening up the comments page to hear your counter points. (Dad, I have you down for Unchained Melody).
Ok I'm waiting for your input on all this and more. Go nuts!

Hi Court. Hope you're feeling better.

just one song? you are blowing my tiny mind. I don't know if I can do this.
no, I can't do that.
This might well be more difficult than the Tony Danza jello mold. But I will certainly try. Glad you were able to make it back to Torquay.
macon georgia has or used to have a minor league hockey team called the Macon Whoopies. that's my favorite i think.
Haven't go this Pips song on my iPod, but I do have these: http://rjhberg-zootv.blogspot.com/2007/10/top-50-songs.html
Very moving photography. Moving. What does that mean, really? I hope you know what I mean. I think you do.
I do not know the best sportscenter line ever about God Shammgod. Sorry.
I don't think I have a favorite sports name. Last week or a few weeks ago, though, Randelel kind of amused me. He seemed to me a distant cousin of Kalel. You know. From Krypton.
I do not have an apple keyboard. I have a Gateway keyboard. And none of my keys stick.
I have not downloaded the new Radiohead album. I rarely download albums. I'm not sure why. I'm more of a song by song person. Because I'm cheap and get very angry at the prospect of paying 99 cents for a song I might end up not liking.
I do enjoy riding on that Midnight Train. I would be hard pressed, though, to choose what I think to be the very best song in the last 100 years. That's really too big a commitment at this point in my life. I'm a little uncomfortable just thinking about it, to be perfectly honest. But I applaud you for making that step.
There. I've participated now. I feel like such a joiner. :)
Den.
i always thought "the saint gabriel archangels" was the best/ worst team name ever.
the dance / garth brooks.
hope you are feeling better.

World B. Free is a great name, but I think he should be DQ'ed since he made it up himself. Participants should be limited to names given b parents.
And the Flaming Lips' 'Waiting for a Superman' is the greatest song ever written.
Courtney, you are correct, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers is the best song ever. The song writers can all stop now.
The best sports team name is the Philadelphia Eagles. Naming a football team after a rock band was a really creative act at the time, especially since some of the Eagles best songs had not even been released.
How about former NASCAR driver Dick Trickle?
I changed my mind. The Smiths' 'How Soon is Now?' is the greatest song ever written.
CMFK - Best sports name ever.
'Nuff said.
