  1. The most important game was last night. Wayne 28, Colerain 21. Wayne faces St .Edward (Lakewood) for the Division I state championship at Ohio Stadium next Saturday.

    Edit: This is the third time in the last five years these teams have played for the state title. St. Edward won the last two times. Wayne beat St. Edward in the boy's basketball semifinal last year as well. Cross-state rivalry, anyone?

    1. Heh. At 6pm, we can all watch "The Husband She Met Online" on the Lifetime Movie Network in honor of Trix and Pix. I'm sure they all live happily ever after.

        1. That is a classic! This one stars Andie from Dawson's Creek*, so you know it's QUALITY.

      1. How could they not?

  2. All right, I've got to cut some MDF to make vertical shelf dividers and am forced to buy a circular saw. I've already got some Milwaukee 12v lithium ion batteries so could get their 5-3/8" battery-powered saw at the Home Despot, but am tempted to say screw it and get a 7-1/4" corded saw at the local Ace for half the dough. Every time I buy the cheap tool "just for one job" I always end up regretting it.

    What should I do?

    Oh, football: Broncos 21, Pats 17.

    1. [ If you want a table saw that fits in an apartment ] you might look at the Festool TS 55. It is an amazing tool, but not one you want to let out to folks cutting boards that may have nails in them. Not the HP of Alter's Skill, but it is driving a smaller blade. Does plunge cuts, cuts on the same line from 0-45°, can provide splinter-free cuts, spring-loaded riving knife and slip clutch avoids kick-backs and resulting sore arm or missing digits. With the guide rail you essentially have a small precision table saw. Downside, spendy and almost never goes on sale. [Comes with a 55" guide rail for $640. ] Upside it will last forever and with good vacuum v. little dust.

      1. Cool. I had an Inca table saw many moons ago, gorgeous little Swiss-made thing with a tilting table, so you could use the end of the arbor has a milling machine/mortising tool. Sort of worked through my woodworking urge and sold that along with the amazing Ulmia workbench, many other things. [sigh].

          1. Eli Manning is doing so badly that I'm playing Drew Brees and have more QB points in my match-up today.

  3. My morning games were San Diego @ Jacksonville or NY Giants @ Washington–I picked a good day to do a training run. But I'll be back later to get everyone's condolences, because there is no way I am missing the New England – Denver game…

  4. Seeing ads for Creed, which is getting good reviews, but I know when I see it I'm going to want to scream, "For the love of crap, ENUNCIATE."

  5. OH GOD–an ad for that lying Benghazi!!! movie. Fuck that filmmaker with a chainsaw of crappy reviews and lousy ticket sales.

  6. Ten seconds into the fourth quarter, and unless things change dramatically, I'll have to be very nice to my colleague who is a Broncos fan. OUCH…

  7. YES!

    Now, please hold the fuck on for 69 seconds, Broncos…

    ETA: FUCK!

    My dogs won't wait any longer, so I may or may not see who finally wins this one. I'll check back when I get back just in case…

    Second ETA: YES!!!

    Good night, everyone!

  8. BRONCOS WIN

    Now don't suck tomorrow night Browns, I'm probably going to lose because of those 50 points the Broncos put on me tonight lol

  9. Absolutely. I don't think there's anything weirder/unsafer/worse about first encountering a future romantic partner online than it is to randomly meet them at a bar or a park or a supermarket or at work or school. The internet is just people (except for the bots).

  10. Signora_Quarantanova and I met through Match.com. Our first meeting/date was 11 years ago last Friday. Love at first sight. It can even happen for Olds.

  11. I made the mistake of being honest with my family and told them I met smokey online. Before smokey and I met in person, my asshole of a brother asked me–in front of my 73-year-old mother, no less–"How do you know she won't end up being a gay tranny?!" He threatened to take my laptop away and hack it so he could read my emails.

    I have two older brothers. One is nice, the other is the previously-mentioned asshole. We now refer to the asshole brother as the 'gay tranny' brother, not that there's anything wrong with that.

  12. Good choice moving far away. What an ass. (I'm unclear… if Smokey was a gay tranny, does that mean she was born a man and is into women, or born a woman who is into men? I feel like the former situation would have made your love more difficult than the latter. Assuming you are not also a gay tranny. I mean, I assume you are an animate arm, and thus can swing all ways.)

  13. I've always liked the Bosch, but it's been a few years so there may be a better one out there now. (That's handheld corded. Never liked table routers.)

  14. Back when I followed this stuff, Porter-Cable was supposed to be good. I had a Sears one that was fine. Critical things are (1) adequate power, obvs, (2) how clearly you can see the work area, and (3) how easy it is to change the bit.

  15. I do, but sorry it depends on what you want to do. I have a variable speed Bosch Colt PR20 that is great for trimming and cutting for binding and purfling. For plunge cutting I use a Dewalt DWP611 with the plunge base. Love the LEDs that help you see what you're doing. Neither of those are studs, so wouldn't recommend them for deep cutting of hard gnarly wood. They have good means for making precise cuts. For heavier lifting and table mounting, depends on if you already have a lift, because some won't fit all routers. I'm using a Bosch MRC23EVSK without a lift, as it has LEDs, a plunger base, and allows height adjustment trough the router table top. Triton has a 2¼ HP that is almost an equal, but less expensive. Triton also has a 3¼ HP ox if you have some serious plowing to do.
