Oh, it's a mess around here all right. The Mansion burned down, that's all I know. I was in the guest quarters when it happened, writing my novel. Honest. Hell of a racket, must've been one huge party. Now it's...

JABS' last post - The 34 BEST Things to Happen to Sports

2006-12-20T16:20:00-05:00

It's time to shut the JABS Mansion down. The night watchman/caretaker has moved in - seems like a nice guy, but kinda stiff - and the condemned sign is outside. Thanks to everyone for making this such a fun place...

Weekend bits: Deck the brawls

2006-12-18T07:30:00-05:00

Here's what you might have missed while figuring that 9-2 scoreline was just an office party-induced hallucinatory hangover: Numerical string to ponder: 37.6, 39.0, 50.6. Give up? Too easy, I know, the last one was a dead giveaway. They're the...

Into the weekend: Ka-ching!
