    Songs that have far exceeded their popularity when first released

    I apologize if this has already been done. Thinking of songs that have become wildly popular beyond what they actually charted. (U.S. charts only, so mostly Billboard) Among my first choices is "Bohemian Rhapsody." It only reached No. 9 on the Hot 100 but ranks in the top 20 of all-time great...

    Death of someone who couldn't love himself

    Suicide notes have become advanced as evidenced by this through social means as opposed to the typical pen and paper. The story is well worn for those for know me, so I will try to keep it short. I have forked up everything good in my life. I will never escape my pursuit of trying to be my...

    San Antonio in Connecticut?

    Can someone please explain to me how this happens? When you go to http://www.mysanantonio.com/ , supposedly the home website of the San Antonio Express-News, you actually get the website for the Danbury (Conn.) News Times. Hearst owns both, but that is a major gaffe.

    Wetzel again blasts the BCS for some fuzzy math

    Interesting read on the crooked numbers the BCS computers spit out. One line that stuck out: "In late October, Kenneth Massey’s rankings had Arizona Western, a community college, 30th overall." http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-wetzel_football_hostage_illegitimate_bcs_112911

    Not Boardwalk Empire, but one of dumbest Craigslist ads ever

    As seen on Houston Craigslist and he's willing to split 85/15. Lucky you. OMG, I went to McDonalds this morning and with my last $3 I was able to purchase a breakfast sandwich. When I peeled the Monopoly gamepieces, I was in shock to see that I had gotten a BOARDWALK gamepiece. Im willing to...

    So my son's friend, about 9, said he had never been to a circus (and not the LeBron kind) in his life.

    Not sure if this topic has been broached on here before, but I just wonder why beat writers, columnists and others blog for their papers when there seems to be little payoff, specifically in compensation. As an editor, I do not blog for my paper. I understand why newspapers want the online...
