Thoughts on a job
So I truly feel a member of the modern age. I now have a job in Singapore, which in and of itself is not all that remarkable, but the way I acquired it is a tad interesting. I collected everything over the internet. I got letters of recommendation from Australia, Maryland (U.S.A.) and Japan, and [...]

On the Steve Francis to Ny trade
Can we please get Buffalo Bill from “Silence of the Lambs” to abduct Isiah Thomas and put him in a well in his basement. I honestly think that is the only way for him to stop trading for bad contracts. IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET!!!”

Challenging Isiah for worst GM title:
Simmons: Mitch, when you took over the Lakers, you had the best two players in the league and could have won 10 straight titles with the right moves. Instead, you couldn’t get it done. Then you traded Shaq for 30 cents on the dollar; you gave cap-killing contracts to run-of-the-mill guys like Chris Mihm and [...]

Nervous and Excited
So I have a route, supplies and a mission…to be stupid….er…I mean to travel across vast stretches of uninhabited Patagonia and prey that the wind doesn’t knock me off my bike and leave me waterless and stranded…begging for mercy at the hands of ancient and terrible Gods of nature. On paper, the route looks fine, [...]

So Antarctica was fun…
So there were not quite as many backpackers as originally envisioned. There were roughly 60 of us, give or take, and we stood out like sore thumbs, even when we were not attempting to generate an outfit that allowed us entrance into formal nights. Full length ball gowns and tuxedos are not really deemed essentials [...]

Boat Rumors
The rumors continue to swirl and eddie, but I am going to send this out, operating on the purest level/layer of conjecture, but here goes.
So somewhere in the past, 200 people backed out of a cruise to Antarctica. Rather then leaving the boat half empty www.orientlines.com decided, in all its infinite wisdom that rather than [...]
