- It’s in public already, but it’s in a comment, so maybe you missed it. The prediction is Alabama 34, LSU 17.
- Took in In Time with BamaDan last night. Love the visuals—the clothes and especially the cars are just fabulous—and the acting is serviceable to good. Intriguing premise, too. Sheesh, though, it’s more clock-you-in-the-melon moralizing. What has become of subtlety? 5/10.
- By the way, not sure when it happened, but there’s draft beer in Athens now.
- I can’t believe how long “they” are mourning Steve Jobs.
- McRib is back! It’s for a limited time only! Never tried one. Never will. Why should I? So I’ll pant like a dog at the whim of another megacorp? No thanks. I already do that for Halo games and Tarantino movies.
- According to one well-respected site that tracks such things, Internet Explorer has fallen below 50% share for the first time since, ummm…the Eisenhower administration.
- After soccer but before Upward! Here we are. I’ll have a great seat for Nathan’s games this season. I’m assistant coaching.

I’ve always had a strong suspicion that the McRib is prepared from the scrapings off the grills (and floors), molded together into that rib shape and sauced up. The limited run of the McRib supports my theory. Therefore, I have never even been tempted to try one.
I like the McRib commercial where the newlywed guy going on his honeymoon bemoans the fact he is leaving right as McRib is coming back out. “I’ve married a 14 year-old.” Witty for McDonald’s.
I still think _In Time_ would make a great TV series. Kind of _Logan’s Run_ meets Robin Hood over a serial with the leads figuring new and inventive ways to steal time over the course of the series. Cool mythology bogged down by an unnecessary Occupy Timberlake preachiness.
I tried a McRib once when I was young and stupid, it must have been in the late 80s or so. Three bites in and I threw it out. It was the absolute nastiest, horrifyingly putrid thing I have ever tried. Never again. Blech!
‘seester, that’s frighteningly plausible.
BamaDan, I’ve since read this is the same guy who did Gattaca. That was a much better picture.
Mirth, I have a problem with anything “barbecue” at any chain restaurant. Processed and formed at McDonald’s is extra-offensive, and I’m amused but hardly surprised at your description. 🙂
