* Cubs are absolutely steamrolling right now. As much as I clown on their idiotic fans (nationwide, not actual Chicagoans), I would love to see them win the World Series. Maddon and Epstein are fantastic. Their team is loaded with awesome, young talent. Aroldis Chapman. And, most importantly, watching a World Series take place in one of the most venerable stadiums in the country = :baseball:. We all win, imo.
* Watched
The 13th. It's basically the movie version of this book....
The book and documentary clearly have an agenda, but it's hard to disagree with the thesis. Of course, you'll always have your drxman types who just insist.....
just do what the police say and dont ask questions end of story its really not that hard. [pfftt]
* Absolutely CRUSHED our boy Bret Bearup yesterday on thefacebook machine. Turns out he's nothing more than a devout plagiarist. Noticed it yesterday when his Axe body spray/Cross Fit joke popped up on my feed from 2 other people, verbatim. Out of curiosity, I cut and past every single one-liner/wisecrack status update of his into Google, and found it posted on other people's Twitter feeds each time.
He's now de-friended me, and set his security functions to where I can't read any of his posts. [laughing]
What a *****. If you're going to steal people's work, at least have the decency to cite your source.

4 years ago, he weighed over 400 pounds. He turned raw vegan, started running (highly competitively, up to 100 mile races), quit drinking, and is down to a lean 170ish. Pretty amazing transformation.
