Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

Friday Night Hoodoo Thread: GIMME WHAT YA GOT

Sweetheart Deployed.  Welcome to our madness, Ms. Stone.

Folks, we're a little less than 24 hours away from kicking off the Crimson Tide's 2010 football season, meaning it's time to throw ourselves before the Football Gods in the hopes that they will once again shine their favor down upon us.  So here's your chance to offer up a fitting sacrifice, be it an embarrassing admission, a video/pic of you doing something horrible (to yourself, natch, and let's keep it PG-13 please), or pledges of....well, whatever.  Remember, we're all part of The Process, so dig deep.  Roll Tide.

OTS: Considering folks are using it as such anyway, chime in with all of your thoughts on the Arizona v. Toledo game here.

Tame, since it's SJS

i went to the fair earlier this week with my wife. It was all fun and over-priced games until we made our way to the bumper cars. Then I made a ill-fated decision to sit in the neon orange car since it was most convenient. After perhaps my most fun experience in bumper cars, which is saying something, the ride came to an end. When I got up I realized there was something wet on my butt. The substance was unidentified and I’ve done my best to keep it that way. Just trying to pretend it isn’t bodily fluid of some sort.

I’ve got a picture, which I’ll have to add later, as I’m on my phone at the moment.

Bands get screwed on album sales.

Their take is only about $.25/CD (and it’s falling.) Seeing a band live is the best way of supporting them even if you do buy the CD.

Got to wonder where one Milton Friedman would have come down on internet downloading from an economic utility standpoint ...

I really could care less myself, but I won’t go near those sites. As I expect Pete Holiday would agree, I doubt any state Bar, and certainly not our local one, would look favorably upon it, so I keep my distance. You might want to keep this all on the down low if your future involves actual practice.
