Tuff Stuff Magazine

I was looking for a Sports Illustrated with the World Series on the front up here and came across a magazine called Tuff Stuff Magazine - actual name. I almost bought it just to see what it was about. We could take over ownership of it and have a blast - what do ya say?

Jim in one of his finer moments

I found this photo while looking for old God's Gang pictures. It was taking somewhere on mine and Jim's after college road trip, I think somewhere in Colorado but can't really remember. Anyhow, Jim thought it would be great to act like he was a horse going to the horse hotel when I took a picture of the sign.. Ummm yeah, that about says it all.

Tuff Enough For Minnesota?

This is an actual ad running in the campaign for governor in Minnesota. They claim he is tuff enough for Minnesota - but Jim and I am not so sure.

I'm So Tuff: I Eat A Hot Dog Nearly The Size Of My Baby

Jim and his foot-long hot dog he ate at the Twins game last night. He somehow fit most of it in his stomach - the rest was left for the trash. More fun pictures soon:).

More Sensitive Than Gabe

Ahhhhhh .... so sweet:). Gabe right before he goes for a romantic, well- thought out evening with Rachel. It's actually more sensitive than Gabe usually appears.

Screenwriting Hits Rock Bottom

I don't know if any of you have seen previews for the romantic drama "Lake House" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0410297/ starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. The basic plot is as follows: A man and a woman searching for love fall in love by exchanging love letters with each other over a significant time period. Thus far, a pretty typical plot line for a 21st century "chick flick". But as with any "chick flick" there's an extraordinary twist intended to grip the female viewer and leave them emotionally spent by the end of the movie, thoroughly cashing several hundred kleenexes in the process.

The twist in the new film "Lake House" is that the transfer of love letters between Sandra Bullock and Neo transcends the boundary of time. They're in love, so in love, but there's only one problem, one tragic aspect of this story that keeps the two lovers apart: They're living in different times. They send love letters to each other through a "magical" mailbox that can deliver letters 2 years into the past or 2 years into the future and everything would be perfect if it wasn't for the INHERENT UNIVERSAL DIMENSION OF TIME!

This is out of control. It signals to me that the writers of films like "Message in a Bottle" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139462/ have simply run out of ideas that are even remotely feasible. Unfortunately, there is a decent chance that tomorrow, when "Lake House" is released in theatres nationwide, someone will see it.

Maria Neels - Tuff

Imagine doing crunches where every abdominal muscle you have is contracting at the same time. Now imagine this lasting for over a minute. Now multiply the amount of lactic acid accumulation by 50.
What does this feel like?

Keith Hernandez . . . Not so tuff

A pretty straightforward case against Hernandez here. It's pretty lackluster to follow up "I won't say that women belong in the kitchen, but they don't belong in the dugout." , with "You know I am only teasing. I love you gals out there -- always have." Wow!

Some of the therapists' comments here are pretty funny, but to me it seems like a straight case of men behaving badly. This calls for a slap on the wrist by the broadcasting group and maybe an individual e-mail message from each person in the company simply stating, "Keith, you're an idiot."
