Is This "The Greatest Moment in Women's Sport" ?
Kelly Kulick is a 33-year-old professional bowler who won the Professional Bowler’s Association Women’s World Championship. A new PBA rule allowed her to qualify for the men’s tournaments. She entered arguably the most prestigious event – the Tournament of Champions – and beat 62 of the best male bowlers, defeating the world’s #1 ranked bowler in the final match 265-195.
When Billy Jean King beat a mediocre Bobby Riggs, the world press covered the event. Auto racing’s Danica Patrick and golf’s Michelle Wie are household names. In a column at ESPN The Magazine, sportswriter Rick Reilly asks why Kelly Kulick’s accomplishment is not receiving more publicity.
"When the light turned green. The driver didn't go. You didn't say fuckwad."
That's hilarious.
The other day when Leif came home from school the first thing he said was, "Do you want to know what inappropriate thing Parker did today?"
His pal Parker is a bit of a troublemaker.

Because it's professional bowling. It doesn't seem like a mystery to me.
I was thinking that we should just give up on the "don't let kids learn swear words" thing. Fuck it. Just let 'em swear.
Except then they'd probably swear wrong, and we'd then have to teach them to swear correctly.
Well, they need to learn the context. They're not allowed to swear in school.
And mine definitely use it correctly. Owen's teacher was standing on a counter top trying to reach something stored high up while the kids were supposed to be resting. Owen was standing behind her and said, "What the hell are you doing?" She had to tell him they don't use that word at school. When I relayed this story to his father, Christopher said, "What the hell was she doing standing on the counter in front of little kids?" (She's very petite and couldn't reach.)
Of course on their last road trip, Owen was laughing about something and DH asked him what it was. Then Owen said, "I'm not supposed to say it." When given permission, Owen said how funny it was on the Family Guy Empire Strikes Back Special how funny it was when Peter/Han said, "Fuck off" when Lois/Leia said, "I love you."
Given that no one I know in France refrigerates vermouth, and there it is mostly drunk straight, I'm going to go with this is unnecessary.
Again, it might be because of quicker consumption. It's like spices, I think, it's not like it will go bad per se, but it will be less than its best.
I'm not trying to scare people about vermouth! Just passing along some info/advice. Take it, or not, I don't care.
Short interview with Peggy Fleming - man, my mother and I watched her in the Olympics when I was a tiny child. Possibly in kindergarten.
That's what I meant, it won't be "bad", just maybe not as tasty.
I use vermouth almost exclusively as a white wine substitute in cooking, so I've never bothered to refrigerate it. I will start buying smaller bottles though.
For good cheap vodka, Jon swears by Monopolova.
