Drones as instant replay solution
It's always stroke and counterstroke, so I'll be waiting for the Sharper Image DroneKillah Mark 7: "See how your nosy neighbor likes it when you put a tiny sidewinder up the tailpipe of his super snooper." I assume having a drone intercepter is covered by the 2nd Amendment.— March 9, 2013 10:48 a.m.
Full GFE
It doesn't always have to be complicated. We just pretend real life is as boring as television. The television should be watching us.— February 18, 2013 6:52 p.m.
WNBA as Advertising Agency
Let the women wear uniforms like their Australian and Brazilian equivalents and not flour sacks like the guys. I understand that the guys do not want to display any anatomical insufficiency and thus they hide their bodies. Women, however, have the good sense not to wear their genitalia externally. Do not let your styles be dictated by the weak egos of the inferior gender, young women. Female basketball players should look to female volleyball players, whose uniforms acknowledge the athleticism inherent in the sport. Is this garb sexist? Not at all. Though experiment: If female tennis players dressed like female basketball players, would that be a blow against sexism? It would be an apology for female athleticism, and a source of considerable uproar. If the WNBA were a great success - which Brother Daugherty makes clear it is not - the league could tell us all to go hang and its athletes play in uniforms modeled on the Michelin Man. My God, they could *swaddle* if they chose. Lacking such acceptance, they would be advised to listen to the nice Advertising Lady and venture if not into the 21st Century, at least into the 1960s.— May 9, 2012 6:52 p.m.
Lockout Fallout
Having seen one of the UFL's inaugural games - before our Redwoods were stolen by whoever stole them -- I have memories of pretty good football and excellent sightlines as we drifted into the better seats. You go, UFL.— March 16, 2011 1:06 p.m.
Year in Review
Your sympathy for the lives of the prostitutes manifests great empathy, great goodness.— December 24, 2010 3:07 p.m.
Walk-Thru Healer
Torn out of the everyday, who knows what means what. It sounds refreshing to be forced -- by distance, by motion, by illness, by strangeness -- to think about new possibilities. We may come home, of course, and think: "What was that?" But I think it's a good stretch of be in a place of mystery without (as you describe) overt evil or conniving. I wait to read more when you are back home, a good skeptic once more.— August 5, 2010 4:35 p.m.
What a Crash
Juxtaposing Tiger and Charles: That doubled my pleasure and my fun.— December 10, 2009 9:50 a.m.
A League of Their Own
You have inspired me. That will be me you see at New Candlestick Park tomorrow night rooting my Redwoods. (Wordplay: My presence will "root" them in the city.) It may only be me among the vastness of empty seats. I'll wave.— October 16, 2009 5:50 p.m.
Home Again
"Low mortal." Big-league writing. And *the ladies love* big-league writing.— July 6, 2009 3:50 p.m.
Sent to Sea Level
Pat, I've been a poet, a pauper and (closer to the pauper state) a copy editor. I know who pulled the wrong picture out of the pile. It wasn't you.— July 6, 2009 3:47 p.m.
