Oh, Made Man, you’re always looking out for us. This time, you’re trying to find a way we can drink too much and still be potent enough to make love later in the evening, should we be fortunate enough to find a candidate for marriage. I don’t want to spoil the secrets here, but I will let one slip: when she screams at you for being “less than a man,” that doesn’t really help. *Sigh*

It was an extremely bad break when the Bulls lost Rose for their playoff run, and now it’s appearing catastrophic in that he won’t be getting back before January, and possibly not until next year. That sure does put a damper on things for the Bulls, who were the team to beat with Rose behind the wheel. Sadly, there’s nothing to do but wait, and try to craft a team around whoever will be playing point for most of next year.
Should Rose find his way back next year, it’s unclear how long he’ll take to readjust, too. It will be a new(ish) team in 10 months, and the point guard will take some time to get his finger on the pulse of the squad. Fortunately, though, it won’t take too long, knowing Rose.
I’m a little late to the party on this one, but whatever. This kid is great, and better late than never. I believe that kids could be cut a lot of slack for their music choices, be they Katy Perry, Jonas Brothers, or whoever else, but it still brings a smile to my fave when kids and parents delight in more obscure stuff. This kid was probably born 15 years after Cobain died, but still nails not only the drum intro, but the lyrics as well. And I’m guessing from his parents that English isn’t even his first language. What a bad ass. Soldier on, toddler.

If you picked “Sophia” or “Jacob” as irreverent, sophisticated baby names recently, you’re going to have a lot of company. They are the most common baby names of 2011 for girls and boys, respectively. For boys, Mason is #2, and Jayden is #4. Thanks a lot, Will and Jada. You can see the list of names here, but for the most part, if you just imagine the whitest names imaginable, you’re probably on the right track.
