Sartre is sitting in a French cafe proof-reading his draft of "Being and Nothingness". He calls a waitress over to the table and says "I'd like a cup of coffee please, with no cream." The waitress replies "I'm sorry sir, but we don't offer cream. How about with no milk?"

Not so much funny, as it is interesting:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yufwlW0Pdk

What you are watching is a four-minute color home video featuring the Warren Redjackets (they, obviously, are in the all-red outfit). This film was taken in 1940, when the city of Warren, Pennsylvania had a population of just under 15,000 people—and this was at the tiny city's peak. (Like most of rural northern Appalachia, the population has been on a downswing; the city now has less than 10,000. On top of that, the nearest cities with over 100,000 people—Erie and Buffalo—were each over 60 miles away.) I don't know who the other team is, and the first few seconds appear to be a game featuring two other teams.

Yet this small town managed to support a professional football team in western Pennsylvania's decades-old pro circuit, one that was remarkably close in caliber to at least the lower echelons of the NFL at the time. They even managed to schedule a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (then nicknamed the Pirates) in 1938 and the Chicago Bears in 1937.

A little piece of forgotten history, from when even a small town could support big-time football.

Found on Craigslist:

Picture of the Anointed One



“Yes! Here it is!

Step right up and get your very own pic of the Pres.

Feel your destiny radiate from this 19"x15" photo of Barack Hussein Obama!

There are plastic covers on the corners for protection of this fine piece that has tormented me since its receipt as a gag gift from my brother's sister last Christmas.

In an effort to emulate Barack Hussein Obama and his highest level of truthfulness and transparency; I must disclose that it was produced in Canada.

I'm asking $1.00 or I'm willing to trade for a sharp knife so I can cut my own throat.

Cash or Quality Cutlery. ”

Crispy Crab Nuggets



1 pound fresh crab meat
3 slices of white bread, crust removed or packaged bread crumbs
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley


Put breadcrumbs in food processor so they are chopped up fine(to save time).

In a large bowl, mix together egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning.

Add breadcrumbs and crab meat and mix by hand to avoid breaking up too many of the lumps. You may need to break up the very large lumps however so the crab balls will stay together.

Shape into 24 balls and fry in batches in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.

Serve with your favorite sauce or don't use any! These are so good!

Thanks DC, that is awesome.

I'm a huge fan of Pergy Grainger's work. It's sort of an acquired taste, but I being a brass man I always lean toward Wind Emsembles.

Here's the best recording of one of Grainger's best pieces, performed by the finest Wind Ensemble ever assembled under the direction of the finest wind ensemble conductor.


I really like this piece.
