ABQJournal Sports » ‘I’ve lived a good life’
I didn’t spend too long in the Journal newsroom, but I was fortunate enough to have a desk a row away from Bill Dyroff, where I could hear him writing his fishing column every week. Just listening to the man was a delight — he knew exactly what he wanted to know, and anything else wasn’t worth knowing.
My favorite anecdote: One week, he was talking to a contact at one of the state parks, and the topic of some new TV show arose. He was interested in it, for sure, but you could tell he couldn’t quite wrap his brain around the concept of more channels than the major networks. Finally, in frustration, he barked into the phone, “What the hell is a UPN?”
Rest in peace, Mr. Bill.
Stop trying to make fetch happen. Fetch is never going to happen.
Reblogged for the Mean Girls, staying because this is totally Pippa.

OH MY GOD
IT’S DAVE CHAPPELLE
DOING A CHARACTER
ALL THESE YEARS
I THOUGHT IT WAS EDDIE GRIFFIN
JUST BEING HIMSELF
I love the Waterstones Twitter so goddam much
This makes sense.
Perfection.
I read 9 Chickweed Lane every day but Sunday, mostly because it’s in the paper (which YES I STILL GET PHYSICALLY DELIVERED REMEMBER I AM OLD) and partly because I can’t help but smirk at what I call “the horniest comic in print.” Seriously, everybody in this strip is full of hormones and innuendo. The reason for this soggy purple dress, in fact, is because the vet was on a date before she got called away to check on the cow and she wanted to impress the dude (who, by the way, she fired as an assistant so there wouldn’t be a conflict when he asked her out, and yes, he was fine with that because he’s horny too).
But maybe you just look at the pictures. And maybe you had the same reaction as I did: “Is that a nipple?”
Huh. So apparently they’re allowed to do this now.
So this show Miles is watching said, “Just then Kangaroo stopped by for a visit.”
Obviously (or else I wouldn’t have a post) I misheard it. And showing where my head typically is, I did a double take, saying, “Wait, Kendall Williams is on Word World?”
An Ode to the Sports Stadium
I miss the Albuquerque Sports Stadium.
It is nonsensical to speak such words aloud, and I’m in the minority on this. Not miss it in the sense that I want it back, or that I prefer it to Isotopes Park. That’s not what I’m saying.
I miss it in the way I miss an old friend.
