Ben & Jerry's Half Baked and Cold Stone's Shock a Cone. Mmmm Chuy's Mexican Food A piano and sheet music in an empty room A clean sheet of ice for me to fall on my face on Fresh snow Animals. Any mammal or bird really. Fish and bugs not so much. My hometown

26K/30K 1 SE, 1 ASE, 1 reporter/columnist, 1 reporter. During football season we have 6 or so stringers out along with the ASE and both reporters along with a staff of four in the office taking calls. We also have one PT person who spends some time doing clerk work for sports all year. 66...

Dear self, Could you please snap out of the depressive sulking every other night? You get that you hate this town and the people in it. You get that one of your bosses is a complete forkwit of a person who only got married because he thought he was so awesome he needed to procreate. Reminding...

UH adopted it last year after a Tongan player taught it to their team (interestingly enough, BYU does it too). There's a bit of controversy over the UH haka because the specific chants belong to the writers and/or the specific tribe that does the chant, and UH never got permission to use the one...

The All Blacks' Haka is awesome. I'm surprised more teams haven't stolen the idea (though if more than one team did it, leagues and federations might get peeved enough to outlaw it). And this is what happens when you put New Zealand against Tonga. They both do a version!

I can't vouch for either of these foods, but my dad has two answers to this question (definitely not regional, but both occasionally found in the U.S.). Haggis and kimchee. Just the description of both is enough to keep me away.

Piano (self taught after a couple years of lessons - I reach a point where my technique breaks down,but I can sightread really well) and sing in a classical/opera style. Doesn't work so well for your typical American Idol generation, but can be very impressive if busted out at the right time. I...

Dear minor league baseball player on the team I cover occasionally, I totally heard you in the clubhouse tonight. I realize you haven't had a female walk through there in probably almost a decade. You personally may not have had a female walk through your clubhouse ever, given most high school...

The good news for Fischer is, of all childhood cancers, retinoblastoma is one of the most curable if caught early. According to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, "If the tumor is contained within the eye, more than 95 percent of patients can be cured. For those children with tumors in...

I've heard they're moving one of the writers to desk duty two nights a week and hiring a part-timer to take over some of the writing duties. The decision stems from the Scripps hiring freeze that says they can't hire anyone in "non-revenue-generating positions."

Dear people who continue to tell me this reunion "won't be that bad," To say so is to ignore all history I have with my extend family, as well as the fact that this place is the isolated capital of the world, and I hate being isolated. Please shut up if you don't you know you're talking about...

Like Detroit failed in the 1980s and the Oilers when Pocklington was selling? Give me a break. The NHL may not be an integral part of most "nontraditional" cities, but it certainly hasn't failed. If financial struggles were a sign of failure, the Sens and Oilers would both be long gone. If poor...

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread Mirtle's blog shows a complete lack of understand of why Nashville has struggled attendance wise. It has nothing to do with hockey being "beloved" or not. It has everything to do with Leipold and his front office ticking off Gaylord and...

Dear KG, I think whatever sized town you grew up in is nearest to your heart. I grew up in Major Metropolises in the South and Northeastern United States. Smallest city I'd lived in was Nashville. So moving out to teeny tiny isolated town is a culture shock. Plus I'm finding out I'm just not a...

shirt, where? Odessa/Midland area, panhandly area, Abilene/San Angelo area, El Paso area or all of the above? It's clear out here right now, but god knows that can change in an instant. And we've had more than enough rain. I think our news-side did a story on how far above average we are right...

Dear people who organized the hockey game I played in on Saturday, Thanks. It was awesome to get back on the ice again, and I didn't suck near as much as I thought I might. I have the world's sorest triceps and biceps today, plus a pretty sore ego, but 60 minutes of stop-time hockey will do...

Dear myself, Signing up to play in this hockey game tomorrow was a really, really dumb idea. You haven't so much as skated in eight months or played in a year. You will look stupid, fall down a lot and probably get hurt. But boy will it be a blast. I hope you're proud of yourself, Kritter

Dear intern who has adopted my desk: I get that you don't have your own desk yet. That's not your fault. You seem to have adopted my desk as a place to work when I'm not here in the mornings. I don't really like that, but I can't get mad when they've forced you to have to find some place to...

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread It's kind of unfair putting the Memorial Cup in there, since the Euro players of this generation of NHLers probably didn't play for that. I'd guess there are a handful of Russians who've won the other five.
