Strange times, given that they weren't willing to portray a sympathetic gay character, but they were perfectly happy to have Mickey Rooney portray the single most cartoon-ish and ethnically offensive East Asian person in the #History of live action #Film. #Singles #saysthespider #klat.com #Chat:10-11-14_10:56am
There are few places on Earth like NYC when it comes to a diverse selection of amazing food from all around the world. To help ease the plight of your stomach, I’ve put together this brief list of some of the best food-centric events taking place this week.
Mario Batali and Mark Bittman: Cooking Fast & Slow - Kaufmann Concert Hall - Oct 12th
I'm feeling rather cold. In lieu of spiced wine (damn you all for making me want that!), I'm going for chai. Luckily I have milk and the yummiest mix in the #History of chai. #Singles #Katharine S. #newyork-single.com #Chat:10-9-14_3:12pm

Dr. D sez,
It is amusing that Michael Saunders had exactly 50% of Kyle Seager's K's and BB's, in almost exactly 50% of the games played:
.
In 1986, the Seattle Seahawks were really good. They were in the middle of 4 playoff appearances in 6 years, this in a very tough division. Curt Warner ran for 1,481 yards that year. Steve Largent caught his usual 70 passes; he'd led the NFL in receiving yardage the year before. The Kingdome was, long before 1986, the forerunner of today's CLink / 12th Man. The NFL passed a rule against crowd noise because of the Seahawks in that era.
QB Ken O'Brien brought the Jets into town, with the Seahawks favored by 4 points. O'Brien did something never seen before or since: he threw for a perfect passer rating, 158.3 was it?, while going for over 400 yards. Looking all this up ... he was 27-for-33 that day, 439 yards, and the Jets crushed the Seahawks like a pop can. 38-7.
A shellshocked Chuck Knox said, on his TV show that week, "27 for 33. That's hard to do against the AIR."
Great line. It is hard to do, even in passing practice, so ... what are your defenders doing out there?
..........
That was the quote that bubbled to the surface of the addled mind when Bob Dutton pointed out Kyle Seager's 96.6% "good throw" rate this season. We're not saying that he had 3.4% errors. Kyle had no throwing errors. We're saying that Mariner first basemen only had to make nice plays on 3.4% of his assists.

One fun way to get out and see your city is to take a tour of the many architectural wonders that it has to offer.
