Do you think it's too late to go back & ask for a better grade? Britt said he received a 90 instead of a 100 on a “planet” test in grade school because he forgot Pluto.

Now we can make a new movie with the hypothesis that Pluto was the only other life-inhabited planet, and they become hopping mad, steering the planet off-course in order to become the "meteor" that causes the real Big Bang at the end of the world. Hey, don't laugh. For those of you who think it's stupid, I have 4 words: "Snakes on a Plane." Mike, one bottle of water in West Texas is not enough at 95 degrees. Woe be unto the man who forgets his bike pack! Well, as far as moving on from things, how about seven degrees of separation from someone other than Kevin Bacon?

And if you noticed in the game today, they talked about Kyle Carter having a medical condition at the age of four that caused him to need to wear his hat a little off-centered on his head. Oops. Also if you noticed, the Illinois coach didn't shake hands with the GA coach after the game so something was going on with those two although I don't doubt it may have been two-sided.

The only thing I would agree with you is the talking after the game. That was a little tacky, but I don't think it bordered on bad sportsmanship. What I saw was a team celebrating their win, which would have eliminated them. Even if they lost, GA was still going to advance. IL had to win or go home. Plus, GA was -- and still is -- a powerhouse. It was a huge deal to beat them. A winning team, who survived to play another day, can't celebrate? Can't cheer the kid who pretty much singlehandly won it for them? Hm. The only thing I would agree with you is the talking after the game.

Now if we could just get Donald to wear some pants! And while I'm not for removing Revelation from the NT, I do think we need to add Horton Hears a Who as the 67th book! I say good riddence Pluto.

You don't wear your hat 'sideways'. You don't do that." He was referencing the star of the team they beat (Kyle Carver for you LL watchers out there) who wears his slightly off centered on his head. 2) He held up the pitcher after the end of the game and yelled "you the man, you the man!" while the losing team walked off the field. 3) Finally, and worst, he sat and talked to his team (see #1) at the end of the game while the other team's kids stood crying and waiting to shake their hands and tell them "good game." As a former little leaguer, high school player, and umpire, I just didn't like what I saw of the guy at all. Lisa-

I will back you up on the need for a bottle of water--the need for such a resource only increases when you're outdoors. I will NOT back you up in a tussle with "Jeanene." I hear our friend Roy ask, "how big a boy er ya?" And I think you should ask for mercy. :o) This post about “Jeanene” cracked me up!

There are two Illinois. The Chicagoland is heavily union-loving Democratic, and the lower part is, um, not. My hometown has had the same Republican mayor since 1964. All I heard the LL coach from Lemont say was something to the effect that the GA team had gone undefeated throughout the whole year and the IL team spoiled it. Which I thought was okay. He was proud of his boys. Was there more? As someone born and raised in Southern Illinois (and yes, “Southern” is capitalized) I testify that Paul W. is correct. There are two Illinois.
