Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

UCLA, in big games, is not, and never has been, a well-coached team. I just wonder how many more years it'll be like this before Cori Close relinquishes the whiteboard or the athletics department gets tired

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
