Is there a link between producing baseball players and rhinoceros iguanas? Does somebody in Donora, PA have a bunch (what is the collective noun for iguanas?) of rhinoceros iguanas? Could Shea Hillenbrand be breeding rhinoceros iguanas on the grounds of his secluded private zoo

in hopes of raising a gaggle of MLB players?

That’s where rhinoceros iguanas are from.

And to make things worse, the Netherlands are only barely visible too! I’m so disappointed :(

My typos were a result of lack of sleep (I’m editing a manuscript for publication. My co-authors are major PIAs: its all arbitrary word changes at this point and I find it irritating: the rage keeps me awake to all hours). Rest assured, if I start poking fun at you I plan to open with “I’m not your friend buddy…”

…and yeah, I rather abhor hypocrisy in all its forms.

All I want for Christmas is an edit function.

Can’t say as I blame you, nor am I much different, but your eloquence in expressing the matter is better than mine. Yeah, like Kyle said: this.

Good luck with negotiating with the authorities in the Dominican, whoever the hell they are.

Same as my father and his father before him.”

If Bachmann wins, she’ll use it as an excuse to go back into Iraq.

How long has that Oakland relocation committee been going on now?
