A new racing sausage for the Milwaukee Brewers!

The Ballad of Dumb George

Impolite? Yes. Necessary? I think so.

Bubblegum Night, 7/16/06

Thanks to everyone who came out on Sunday, July 16, for the second installment of "Chewy Chewy Yummy Yummy Sugar Sugar." This kind of support means such a whole lot to me, and to everyone who DJs in this scene.

I also want to thank DJs Eric Colin, James Porter, and MLE for their great sets and for dealing with a slightly stressed-out Stu.

For my the second set, I didn't keep a list, but here's what I played, out of order.

Just asking...

Did Tribune baseball writer Phil Rogers take a serious blow to the head? Or does he just write that way?

I'm going to write more on this subject later, but...just had to point out this polished turd of "analysis."

Wonderful, bizarre minor-league baseball promotions

Some of these are just fantastic.
