OK, this is a pretty funny story.

But we’re sure Zamboni isn’t the worst she could do. So, help us out here. What would be a name that would top it?

Well, if it’s a girl she could call her “Nailin” and then her daughter would be forever associated with the pornstar Nailin’ Paylin:

certainly another piece of heavy equipment, like say…  plow, or back-hoe, or maybe tractor even. although crane might actually be kinda cool.

Funny story. And even though she was joking, Zamboni wouldn’t be the worst celeb baby name!

I believe the kiss between Rob and I was documented on low-quality videotape in the mid-ninties porn classic, Dirty Harry…and Sticky.

I have no specific memory of it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d kissed Mike, too—once we’d both drunk ourselves gay. And earlier this week I gave Clarence Shelley a back rub. Do I have to sign some forms, or am I just considered “in.”

FWIW, I got a copy of the letter in question.  It was written in a way that would be plausible to a casual reader who didn’t scrutinize it too carefully.  It announced the formation of an organization called G.L.A.B.A. (which actually exists), and had discussion about typical…

I also got to visit Big Grove Tavern during the soft open and definitely enjoyed the pork belly the most of all the dishes I sampled. The cheesy grits and the vinegary pickled vegetables were a perfect compliment to the rich pork belly.

Not so much far-right Tea Party as a balanced, moderate viewpoint between letting businesses succeed and protecting society with reasonable regulations.

This makes me so sad.  (Happy to live in Urbana, though!)  Crave Truck has been a GREAT addition to the food choices in C-U, and it’d be a travesty to chase them away.  This town should be supporting small businesses.  I’m glad to hear that they’ll still…

And without bloodshed. Sounds like the Savoy trustees aren’t as narrow-minded as some of their whiny pants constituents. Do you think quack Snell is already planning an asinine counterattack or is he still laying low after those “threats” against his person?
