Two quick things today. The first is a little bit of news/human interest. Just to let you all know out there that we are indeed people with actual feelings, not soulless creatures with shriveled hearts filled only with the cold dark vapors from the farthest outer reaches of space.
There was a nice little story in the New York Times last week about a cotton candy vendor at Shea Stadium who moved to Kansas City four years ago, and kept his job selling cotton candy. The retired NYC firefighter loves the Mets so much, and desperately doesn't want to lose his spot as a vendor so he decided it would be just best to commute to Shea. Remind me never to complain again about getting to Shea from CT. In all seriousness though, I've been a Mets fan for almost 20 years now and there's one thing that remains true, even though they look good nowadays, this will pass. The Mets will only crush your heart into a fine paste if you get your hopes up. Besides, million dollar players don't want to come to Shea and this guy is willing to fly to work, selling cotton candy. The place is a dump, there's a reason it's getting knocked over 
next year. It sounds like he's probably good friends with Cow-Bell Man.
The second thing is something that I have to show only because The Whip and I wandered upon something called World Extreme Cagefighting. As if UFC wasn't up to the challenge of satisfying all
our ass-kicking, blood-letting needs (not to mention Joe Rogan commentary). Anyway, two dudes about 5'8" went at it, culminating in one of them doing the old wave my left hand to distract you while I destroy you with my right move (it actually worked), leaving the other dude bloody and otherwise fucked up. This prompted the mention 
of just how ridiculously awesome Randy "The Natural" Couture was and still is. I remember when he retired, possibly for good in UFC 57 last year, when Chuck Liddell knocked him out for the second time. It looked like the torch had been passed to a new badass.
Well, it looks like he's back. He's under contract to fight four times. In his first fight back he took back the heavyweight title from Tim Sylvia. Just last week, he defended the title, in the process breaking his arm, yet still kicking Gabriel Gonzaga's ass. (Yes, I'm using Wikipedia for a lot of this information). Forget that he gets in the ring with maniacs. That aside, he's willing to continue fighting said maniac with said broken arm. I'd call out of work if I stubbed my toe (assuming I was employed). Gotta put my health first, boss. Anyway, here's the video link. It's absolutely worth clicking on, especially if you enjoy watching huge men bleeding on each other.
