A friend sent me this link to a Jimmy Fallon bit.  LOL.

EverQuest: A Walk Down Memory Lane

I played on the ground floor of EQ.  Now, with a spouse and a middle-aged life, I wouldn't want to go back to the way things where fifteen years ago.  That said, mercy but it was fun!  I mean life-long memories fun.

Slopestyle, meet Bashluge

After less than a week of the winter Olympics, I'm officially over the term "slopestyle."  I find these events to be equal parts amazing and ridiculous.  The skiing seems cooler than the snowboarding if only because landing on skis backwards seems way, way cooler.

Today, I am officially prognosticating that the next wacky sport in the Olympics will be a mixture of luge and curling.  So, too, am I coining the term "bashluge."  You heard it here first.

Jimmy Fallon is Dead. Long Live Jimmy Fallon.

Jimmy Fallon is just so damn likable.  He chose a perfect way to say goodbye and hello at the same time.

"The Olympics have always been a little gay"

The LA Times linked a PSA from Canada that is pure win.

So Very Glad Not To Be In Sochi

Beyond being anti-Gay and anti-dog, apparently the living conditions in Russia are crap, too.  I'm less excited about this Olympics -- if one can even call my feelings "excitement" at all -- than I've ever been before.

America the Beautiful

I'd learned this history about Katharine Lee Bates in various reports yesterday.  A socialist, anti-imperialism lesbian.  Classic.  Totally classic.

America the beautiful, indeed.

White Lion Triplets Born

Three rare white lion triplets were born in a Polish zoo recently.  Here is to hoping that they are treated well and live long and happy lives.
