Ice Machine - Frozen Eurology

June 12th, 2008 by Tuffy Posted in ice machine, question of the day |

Here’s a clear shot from the daily Ice Machine, with crystal blue linkage of stories that will refresh you during your lunch break (going for the cup):

• We mentioned it to the right, but it’s worth bringing up again: We had no idea there was a Swiss pro soccer team named “Young Boys”.  The Swiss concern us on a number of levels.
• Speaking of moving to the right, we’ve done some very silly things over the last few days at SPORTSbyBROOKS and Big Tilde.  Please take a peek to the right to see odd photo manipulation, unique video selection, and that time we tried to get politics and baseball to have an unholy baby.  (Well, another one, anyway.)
• We’re not sure we agree with the tenor, but… yeah.  That’s enough.  
• Stop adding to our list of reasons to want a Wii when they start selling them in the United States.
• Sorry, Olympic torch relay; you’ll have to hang out here for a few days.  We’ve got final exams.
• Sam Mendes is pissed he used the plastic bag in American Beauty instead of this.
• Classic movies for kids, hosted at Turner Classic Movies.  Hawesome.
• Yeah.  So.  The 80s?  We wonder sometimes if you kids didn’t miss anything.

Benny Hill meets Duran Duran.

Our Question of the Day (asking frequently and sometimes having the urge to ask when we really don’t have to): If the Cubs are stepping into the Wayback Machine today, can they step back about 36 hours to when Alfonso Soriano was whole?  What are the readings on that, Mr. Peabody?

UPDATE: The afternoon post got called up to the bigs.
