This has nothing to do with Florence and the Machine.  Thanks for wasting my time.

[grateful]

blame cuba

and that sandwich is awful too.  plus mark cuban is a jerk.  and whatever happened to cuba gooding jr?

We had parties on two consecutive weekends.  I made reubens for the first, and cubans for the second.  And while I'm still a big fan of cubans, I'd have to say I vastly prefer the reubens.  Of course, I corned my own beef, so I was feeling the love.  Reubens over Cubans!

He didnt say it did, he was pointing out that the author made an homage to the group's name in the title of his article.

Wrestling is cut from the olympics.  I think we can all agree this is a good thing.

how is that a good thing?  olympic wrestling is a real sport, and it's one of the originals - ancient greeks wrestled. 

i can't see how eliminating a sport is a good thing.  if you don't like it, fine, don't watch.  those who have spent years training in hopes of making it to the olympics are about to be very disappointed.

Among the sports that wrestling must compete with for future inclusion in the Games are climbing and wakeboarding."

I just remember all the kids in high school who had to lose weight by not eating for days so they could wrestle.  That doesn't sound healthy.   Climbing sounds like something that might actually be interesting to watch. They can eliminate boxing as well as that is all rigged anyways.

So my favorite holiday of the year is coming up.  So anyone doing anything interesting for valentines day?

ending wrestling at the olympics is insane.. if you're going to end something end something like tennis or one of the highly professional sports like soccer.. sports that have no business being in the olympics...

it is precisely a sport like wrestling that the olympics should be all about. a sport that as far as i know is largely amateur and doesn't have much visibility outside the olympics...
