Here’s a clear shot from the daily Ice Machine, with crystal blue linkage of stories that will refresh you before you start your day (on this inaugural Chicago bank holiday):
- Light posting day today. Please feel free to leave red and black streamers on the site until Janitorial Services arrives.
- The new SI cover combines two of our unnatural passions: Rays and pencils. Please enjoy.
- Leon Theremin was a badass in a time where badasses got crushed.
- This one’s pretty much J-No fanservice. No apologies here.
- We needed this one. We almost fell down this rabbit hole earlier this week.
- Please watch this brief video. No sound necessary:
Fairly dull, right? Just a bit of Pong-esque on YouTube, right? What if we told you that all of this happened on a space the size of a grain of rice and that little robotic figure is six times smaller than an amoeba? What if we then told you it’s part of a Nanosoccer tournament?
You may now breathe again. Carry on.
And the Question of the Day: Let’s get this party started in here. Rose or Beasley? The thought of Simeon’s finest playing in the city makes us giddy, but Beasley’s not exactly a slouch. Hinrich’s only the answer if the question involves increasing turnovers or bowlcuts, but Gooden’s only there because who doesn’t love Dorie?

I would like you to know that I just flipped Dempster to someone in my league for Rickie Weeks.
Oh, and Derrick Rose. Come now. Aren’t you sick of Kirk Hinrich?
I’m sick of Hinrich, but my tolerance level for shoddy play shouldn’t be my guide here. If Beasley’s the better move for reasons yet unexplained, I’m listening.
I really hadn’t paid more than casual attention to either, like picking which Doublemint Twin I prefer. I’m not sinking my teeth into either. Now, suddenly, I’ve got their phone number. (Turns out they live together. Saves on rent, I guess.) What the hell do I do?
Panic, of course, and forget to call them after I order in Thai food. But what should Paxson do?
Oh, way to sell high and buy low. That’s downright dirty. I approve.
Just got home from vacation…thanks for the video. He’s still hot, but I hate the earing.
