Blood is Thicker than Ink?
Deadspin has the latest about the Bloody Sock Game of 2004. Apparently, Gary Thorne spilled the beans, relaying what I've been saying since about the 6th inning of said game: It was ink. This notion is non-exclusive with the fact that Curt Schilling went and pitched with a stitched-together, surgically jury-rigged ankle, and the notion that said pitching performance was legendary. The extra bonus: Fox used about a cumulative hour of postseason airtime broadcasting an image of a foot. For this reason alone, both the sock and Curt Schilling should be inducted into the Hall (and the sock is already there).

Fark 2.0 sucks.
That's the bottom line: The menagarie of fraternal fellaters, collectively known as "Web 2.0," has claimed another victim. A few hours after my last post, I realized my eyes were trying to tell me something, along the lines of "If we have to look at this site (Fark) for another minute, we're going to melt out of your sockets."

So, no more Fark for me, until they clean up. I still have utmost respect for Drew and the crew (and I still plan on buying the book :), and I wish them the best. Hell, if Myspace stayed around, anything will, given enough users. I just get the feeling that the updates are meant to pacify/accomodate advertisers (and their budgets).
