The Severed Cortex

Bobby Murcer was never my favorite Yankee player. For one, he played during all those really crappy Yankee years in the early seventies, although he did play with my favorite Yankee Thurman Munson. Murcer skipped out on the '77 and '78 championship tea… more »

Considering they were playing the defending national champions in arguably the most home field advantageous stadium in the country, a ten point defeat is not too bad. Call it a moral victory. I'm sure LSU was looking past State, especially since they t… more »

McCain snickered and smirked. Obama appeared to take the high road. Both of them told lies. more »

Seriously, you should. It's a great house and it hit the market just today. Beat the rush and shoot me an offer. more »

Going into this concert I really didn't know what to expect. Hell, it's lucky I could even hear after seeing Motörhead the night before. Going from the mid forties, black t-shirt, Jeff County, KSHE crowd to the Wash U./SLU, pegged pants and boat shoes… more »

Today was a bittersweet day. I turned in my resignation at Magellan Health Services where I have worked for the past seven years. I really, really enjoyed working there and I really love working with the people there, especially the fantastic peopl… more »

I guess I should just give up the ghost for 2008. State is terrible. Granted I think Georgia Tech will wind up winning the weak ACC, this is still a game that Mississippi State should have competed in. Especially after last week's defensive stand agai… more »

I'm overdue on writing about Robert. Hangin' and Chillin' I asked Robert what he wanted to do and his reply was that he wanted to make pizzas and play Guitar Hero. That's an easy one. Before picking him up in the late afternoon, I kind of goofed ar… more »

Sridevi works for me as a supervisor and she and her husband Mahesh are now U.S. citizens. Friday was their swearing in ceremony and ends a very long process. She's had a green card for at least six years. I certainly don't know the whole process that… more »

Crap. Talk like a pirate day, the funnest day of the year, and I miss it. I got in a few good arrr mateys, and maybe I'll scavange me a lusty wench before the sun sets on me sails. Tomorrow is eat a sore throat lozenge day. more »

Normally I like Rick Reilly, but he's been hanging out with John Daly too much if he thinks the U.S. can win The Ryder Cup. Golf is not a team sport, but the Ryder Cup at least pretends that it is. The Americans have sucked at it since the Europeans we… more »

I have no idea what the hell a Volcom is. What I do know is that when this show was originally billed to come to town on August 28, the show was to include Year Long Disaster, Airbourne, Valient Thorr, The Misfits, and Motörhead. Only two of those band… more »

This is laughable. I guess you can't put people in jail for being retarded but I think you should be able to. Especially this retardo. To think he was in charge of justice when he couldn't even define it with a Merriam Webster in his hand turned to th… more »

Fog Piles Palin. I'm named after a misty set of hemorrhoids. I think that's pretty classy. more »

Three to two?! Are you kidding me! I guess I should be proud that the Dawgs held the #9 team in the country to only three points. I'm not so proud that they couldn't score on offense and only mustered six first downs total. College football is a fick… more »

All towboaters really know how to do is tell stories, or lies (depends on your viewpoint), so I'm going to bore you with a little background and tell you a couple of stories. And contrary to what I just said, none of this is a lie. Now, growing up in… more »

You have to ask yourself why this wasn't a no brainer to begin with, but Behavioral Health is so different than your standard medical stuff that most companies don't even bother trying to handle it. That's why they farm the behavioral stuff out to us, o… more »

It's still called that right? more »

Being a former architecture student and Frank Lloyd Wright devotee, this hits a little too close to home. Plus, we have friends who volunteer here. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT DESIGNED DANA-THOMAS HOUSE SCHEDULED TO CLOSE OCTOBER 1, 2008 We thought this… more »

I say that knowing that I now join the class of mad bloggers and that Karma will be kicking my tail shortly. All I can hope is that my pointing out douche bag Robert Novak's comeuppance doesn't compare to his treason and duplicity. I doubt Karma cares… more »

Today, without your consent, the Republicans raised your taxes. Yes, a Democratic led Congress gave that consent earlier this year, but under the auspices that Secretary Paulson would not use it. Roughly six weeks later he goes back on that word. I ce… more »

I'll take a junk win. Now, on to the real competition with 5 serious teams in a row before the obligatory Homecoming patsy. Auburn's defense looks real tough. Way tougher than Louisiana Tech. more »

It's tough to read when you have vertigo and can't focus your eyes well. I didn't think I'd miss it all that much but I did. I started reading another tome before I noticed that Nancy had this one and was going to return it to the library. Since I wor… more »

The Wilson sisters from Heart are pissed off that the Republicans are borrowing Barracuda without their permission. They've threatened legal action to make them stop. Top 5 other Heart songs considered: 5. How Deep It Goes (Pipeline Remix) 4. Str… more »

I would argue that whoever you guys are voting for in the 2008 election, your vote in IL or AZ is wasted. It’s a foregone conclusion that John McCain will win AZ, just like Barack Obama is going to win IL. That’s why I’m proposing that you vote for me… more »

I totally understand that Stephen Malkmus is not for everyone. I've yet to meet anyone amongst my friends that says they are a Pavement fan, and let's face it, Stephen Malkmus was the brains of Pavement. Truthfully I've never met anyone who even mentio… more »

Steve works with me and is one heck of a stand up guy. Plus he likes to play guitar, loves Led Zeppelin, and can grow a full beard in just one afternoon. These are the basic qualities I look for in a person and Steve has all three. You can't help but… more »

In case you didn't know, Roberto Clemente got his 3000th hit on the last day of the 1972 season. Three months later he was on a plane to Nicaragua on a charity mission when his plane crashed. Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, and Ty… more »

Another guitar legend bites the dust. Jerry Reed often gets overlooked when people talk about guitar players but his picking style was unlike any other. Part country, part rock and roll, and 100% downright funky swamp pop. He took the Bakersfield soun… more »

Democrats fill a 70K seat stadium. Republicans can't even get their Senate members to show up. Granted Ted Stevens and Larry Craig have issues, especially Craig, but failing to show up for your own convention when you are a delegate speaks volumes. I… more »

5. To win over lovers of the naughty librarian look vote. 4. To win the one dude with two hot chicks lover vote. (If John McCain can get two trophy hot chicks, it gives hope to all men right? ) 3. To win the beauty pageant lover vote. 2. To sip… more »
