Smashing Atom: Ariel Atom V8 vs. Large Hadron Collider
Small, insanely fast, and superlight car takes on actual atoms.
Noteworthy, friends, is the fact that the description offers no hyperlink. The innocent explanation: Car and Driver wants to protect some of its content for subscribers. But you and I know better than to believe in the innocence of the LHC. I don't know what that foul boson-grubbing beast is up to, but we must maintain our vigilance. If we don't we might actually have to contemplate the stumbling start to William and Mary's hoops campaign. And nobody wants that.
Interesting dance going on in downtown NYC today. Everybody is waiting for the ruling on the temporary injunction, but it really feel like if things don't go the protesters way that this is going to get ugly.
ReplyDeleteI would not want to we a property owner in lower Manhattan.
i wouldn't want to wed one either, marls. but that's just me.
ReplyDeletebe....stupid toe-like thumbs.
ReplyDeleteTo Marls' comment, as Bill the Butcher said in Gangs of New York, "we'll settle with a good dust up."
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to see the NYPD start concussing hippies.

ReplyDeletetwo of my favorite things: bosons and gangs of new york.
ReplyDeleteDave was a foul, bosom-grabbing beast in college.
ReplyDelete@MarcusWM3 is averaging 12.3 ppg on 48.3% shooting. bright spot!
ReplyDeleteThe Ariel Atom is insane.

Speaking of which, I have tickets to see Adam Ant at a small venue down here in February. And I am way more fired up than I should be.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of fired up, I'm really fired up for Florida-Ohio State tonight (though I think Florida loses). You should watch tonight, so you can see the best freshman guard in the country. No, not Austin Rivers...Bradley Beal.
ReplyDeleteBeal is a 6'4" guard from St. Louis who's super athletic, shoots the shit out of the ball, plays strong D and carried a near 4.0 in HS. Most scouts compare him to Eric Gordon or Ray Allen at the same age but agree that he's further developed than they were as freshman. Watch him now because I doubt he'll be at Florida for more than a year.
As for Austin Rivers, prepare to be annoyed. Don't get me wrong, he's good. I saw him play in HS a couple times (he's from Orlando and committed to Florida as a sophomore in HS)and he's going to struggle with the transition some. He's a two guard who needs the ball in his hands to be effective and he's a good, not great athlete. I'd compare him to a bigger, less athletic Monta Ellis. He'll be a very good college player but he's far from a sure thing as far as his pro prospects go.
As f
Mark, sent you a Beal highlight clip via the tweet machine. Also, we need to do a college hoops post in the next few weeks, as we did in the past.
ReplyDeletebasketball mark is back! things are good.
ReplyDeleteRob, are you hearing about this baseball realignment that is supposedly imminent? What the friggin fuck?
ReplyDeleteYou mean the Astros heading to the AL West? Not a biggie, Igor.
ReplyDeleteUnless I'm missing some much bigger story...
Teel, how you play a slate of games with a 15 team league? Therein lies the weirdness.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the point to make sure each division now has 5 teams, instead of the traveshamockery that is a 4-team AL West and 6-team NL Central, as currently constituted?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I intended to come home and write a longer post on Beal v. Rivers but work is, unfortunately, kicking my ass right now.
ReplyDeleteAlso, on Rivers. You'll be annoyed because he's everything people hate about guys from Duke, and then some. Like the guard version of Christian Laettner.
Should be interesting to see how Rutgers transfer Mike Rosario handles his 6th man role for Florida. He could be a monster off the bench as a combo guard.
ReplyDeleteTJ - You know I'm in for a College Basketball post.
ReplyDeleteheard about it, igor. i share 'teel''s opinion, with a side of, 'this might be interesting'.
ReplyDeleteRosario could do really well in that role. Like a college version of Jamal Crawford. Not that their games are that similar - just a gunner PG coming off the bench. Biggest Rutgers recruit in 20 years and he transfers.
ReplyDeleteIf I live to be 70, I'm still going to be telling people that Rutgers should be good at basketball. And they'll be working on a 58 year tournament drought. Unless they expand the field to 256 by then.
mark just got retweeted by doug gottlieb. big day for the gtb family.
ReplyDeleteLove an ESPN guy retweeting a twitter handle where the bio simply says "Fuck you. Pay me."
ReplyDeleteBob Knight was just drinking a beer on air.
ReplyDeleteThat was iced tea bama...
ReplyDeleteStop defending him. I want it to be a beer.
ReplyDeleteRivers does indeed have a lot of growing to do...Duke is going to struggle against teams with quick guards.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it was bourbon served neat.
ReplyDeleteJerry - After losing like Rosario did for two years at Rutgers, wouldn't you transfer?
ReplyDeleteBeal has to get better off the dribble and Florida needs to run more offense for him.
Did anyone read Simmons' Homeland recap? I think he reads G:TB.
ReplyDeletewho here other than me asked wife to record cbs 630 news or raced home to see it so they could see the mcqueary interview?
ReplyDeleteno one then? alright.
ReplyDeleteCounting down to the President's Cup. Night golf.
ReplyDeletegolfing at night
ReplyDeletenight putting. just putting at night.
ReplyDeletei don't like me some weekday night golfing.
ReplyDeletereally surprised (sarcasm) that tiger and scott will be playing against each other in 1st match. am typically apathetic about this event, especially as tiger is concerned, but do hope tiger wins that match handily and maybe gets stevey w to at least consider shutting the fuck up.
10:05 - Woods/Stricker vs. Scott/Choi
ReplyDeleteI don't like Sticker as backup in case a brawl breaks out.
F those "internationals" and their lack of a communal identity. Ernie Els and Ryo Ishakawa? That's a team?
I'm all in. I like
ReplyDelete1) Rooting for the USA
2) Team golf
3) Watching sports on TV
Dave, I've had just about enough of your negative nelly attitude...
ReplyDeleteLive blog now available...
ReplyDeleteDanimal, they've got a new word for weekday nights. Check it out, it's useful in character limit situations.
ReplyDeleteHey, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
