Greatest defensive end of all time. He's the guy that coined the term "sack", because he imagined it like sacking a city, or putting all the offensive players in a sack and beating on them with a baseball bat.

Kind of puts that whole Saints "Bounty-gate" thing into perspective.

sorry, lucky - vid quality just too crappy to vote this up.

I moved out of St Louis in September and, the day before I left, I went to this zoo with my dad and sister.

The stench of the penguin exhibits was unreal; even the outdoor ones. The smell was so strong you could taste it. I'm starting to taste it now just thinking about it.

But it was a pretty nice zoo, even more so since it's free.

you've got this all wrong.....this can be your lifestyle too if you do yoga.

I wonder how much that apartment costs...and I wonder which white investment banker she's sleeping with to afford it.


Really? Can you find me a yogi that makes enough to afford that $20 Million place?


Not quite, but I can find you a place that looks much like this one, that I as a programmer can afford to rent for a night (or a morning) to make a video like this.

$500 will get you a penthouse suite in St Louis that is every bit as lovely as this room.

Somebody buy that girl a pair of pants...


She should at least finish the job and make it a pair of shorts. As it stands it's neither fashionable nor practical.

I was going to attend Skepticon this year if I was still living in St Louis come November, but I wasn't, so I didn't.

They're fairly common here in St Louis. Not "every other car" common, but they're far from rare.

She's reading a script (making it virtually identical...because it's not 100% identical if you listen close) for multiple affiliates across the country. Like when a celebrity does a movie promotion, they sit him/her down in front of a camera and a monitor and (s)he makes appearances on local and national TV shows in New York, Los Angeles, Des Moines, St. Louis, Tampa, etc. all in a single morning. That's why the cuts in this video need to be where they are.

But that's no fun is it? Better to claim we've been hypnotized by this old man. Er, I mean woman.

1. Being a smart ass will eventually get you a fist sandwich.

2. Doing it in a bar will result in a quicker one.

3. I worked with a guy like this who I protected from getting a fist sandwich in the workplace parking lot.

4. If we'd been in a bar I would have been too late.

5. Notify St. Louis. Someone has the top of their arch.

Allo mate, wot say we pop on down to Winchestah for a quick pint of fish and chips at the ole loo. Take the lift, first, to bum a quick faggot off me mate, wot say

here in NZ we call what that kid is eating a hot dog. and we call what you call hot dogs american hot dogs. and crisps are chips - but fries are chips too. and a chicken sandwich is a burger. and candy is lollies. and cookies are cookies but also biscuits -- and i don't think we have what you call biscuits. i tried biscuits and gravy in st louis and almost died it was so disgusting. but then i eat and love vegemite, so y'know.. can't judge.

Isn't it great fun? Ariely does such cool research. I saw him standing in the foyer of the hotel I stayed at in St. Louis. He was attending a satellite conference on decision making that was part of the larger psychology conference I was at. I should've gone over and introduced myself, but was too star-struck/shy.

His book is really the only book on behavioural economics / decision making that I've read though, so I can't recommend anything else. There's always a google scholar search -- it's an area that's becoming increasingly popular -- but reading journal articles isn't nearly as fun as a book. Academics are adept at sucking the joy out of everything!

I'm loving the book you recommended. I'm 2/3 of the way through and it's downright epiphanal. I posted a comment very much influenced by this book here:

Make me a reading list, you brilliant fucker!

Not all cops are bad. This one is.

And yet, how many of this cop's peers will actually condemn his actions publicly? If you do not step up and actively stand against people like this in your midst, then you're complicit in their actions.
So yes, all cops who passively allow this type of action are bad. For those keeping track...that's all cops.


"While all of the circumstances of the incident are not known, what is seen on the video is extremely disturbing to us," St. Louis police said in a statement. "Force is to be used only when absolutely necessary and this department takes the use of force very seriously."

oops.

Can it be a short road far away? How about a medium-sized bypass in Topeka? Clover-leaf highway in St. Louis?

In reply to this comment by dag:
You and Peggedbea should take your show on the road. A long, long road- far away.

I do believe this is the first Dead Weather number I've been able to appreciate. And I've tried... I was so very impressed with The Kills (thanks to Peggedbea), and as soon as I found them, they were gone. So I noticed that Alison had joined the Dead Weather, and they were coming to St Louis...but they're just a bit too punk for my tastes.

This one, OTOH, is quite catchy. Maybe there's hope yet.

Thanks spevo-was looking for this the other day to post-Everyone needsto see this and then stop worrying about health care bills and other ancillary notions of delusion. Wanna make a differnce in politics cjhildren? March on over to St.Loo and burn that motherfucker down called,Mansanto.What are Monsanto's corporate headquarters address and telephone number?
Monsanto Company

St. Louis, Missouri 63167
Telephone: 1-314-694-1000

I call once a week just to make the operator feel like less of a human being for working there....or whoever i can get transferred to...

Have you ever seen the Jimmy Stewart movie: The Spirit of St. Louis? the air circus scenes show some really awesome wing-walker stunts. This pales in comparison.
