The ESPYs Were Funny — 12 Years Ago
Did you see the ESPYs tonight? Me neither, but Deadspin has a video of Norm McDonald’s monologue from the 1998 ESPYs. To give you an idea: I saw Jerry Jones backstage. He said, “We’ve got to get back to what made the Cowboys great. Strippers and crack.” The camera goes to Charles Woodson and McDonald congratulates him on winning the Heisman Trophy. First defensive player to win the Heisman. That’s something they can never take away from you. Unless you kill your wife and a waiter. Read more →
I Had a Terrible Day
I had a terrible day. I don’t want to tell you why because I don’t want to upset you. If I tell you, it will upset you. Oh all right, I’ll tell you . . . I was driving to work this morning going south on Moulton Parkway when I saw a small animal in the lane ahead of me. I couldn’t tell what it was from a distance but as I got closer I could see that it was a turtle. His shell was about six inches in diameter, about the size of a large pancake or a mid-sized tortilla, and as I drove around him he was lifting his right front foot and getting ready to take a step in an east-to-west direction. Moulton is six lanes across at that point. The turtle had already miraculously crossed three-and-a-half of them but he seemed to me to be a… Read more →

EppsNet at the Movies: Bend it Like Beckham
In keeping with the World Cup theme, we rented Bend it Like Beckham last weekend. My wife liked it a lot. I liked it too, although I thought the subplot with the soccer coach was baloney. My favorite song, “Nessun Dorma,” is featured in a key scene. Two thumbs up! Read more →
Pug vs. Cow

Too Rich to Live?
If Congress doesn’t change the law soon–and many experts think it won’t–the estate tax will come roaring back in 2011. On a $5 million estate, the tax consequence of dying a minute after midnight on Jan. 1, 2011 rather than two minutes earlier could be more than $2 million; on a $15 million estate, the difference could be about $8 million. — Too Rich to Live? – WSJ.com THANK GOD I DON’T HAVE 5 MILLION DOLLARS! I’d be sleeping with my eyes open from now till New Years, lest I meet my demise at the business end of a pillow stuffed in my face by a greedy heir. IT’S KILL OR BE KILLED NOW! Read more →
