newyorker.com (Nolen G.) – I sat in the left field bleachers for one game during last year's Braves/Astros playoff series. Other than the Astros' bullpen guys right next to us, Biggio in left was the easiest target to heckle. So at a particularly quiet moment, my friend stands up and screams out, "Biggio? More like ... SMALL-gio!!!" I swear, you could hear crickets afterwards. It was easily the most awful display of heckling I've ever witnessed. Naturally, we were still cracking up four innings later.

bdwworldart.com (Dave, Cambridge) – Obviously, Lando has no problems with the ladies. We know that. But does anyone else get the feeling that Billy Dee would make a terrible wingman? He gives off a vibe as the type of guy that would sell you out the second you went to the bathroom ("Oh yeah, Bob's a great guy. A little quick with the trigger, if you know what I mean, but we've all got our issues. You know I used to roll with Han Solo, right?").p>

instonenutrition.com (Kensey L.) – Sylvester Stallone: Peddler of Pudding. It's going to be a sad day when he's actually working at Orange Julius ...p>

wkbt.com – Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer, during a desperate attempt to deliver a toe, gets held up while driving a city bus, leading to this classic exchange:

Jerry: "You kept making all the stops?"
Kramer: "Well, people kept ringing the bell!"

music.msn.com (Brian B.) – What we have here are samples from a rock cover album by Paul Anka (Maybe I should have already known, but I had no idea who Paul Anka was. Then, as if heaven-sent, I received the following link suggestion – nytimes.com (Ryan A., NYC, registration)). I demand that you take two seconds to listen to his rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It's so wrong that I think I might actually like it.p>

foxsports.com (Robert U.) – I still don't understand why NBA players get ready for games by listening to music when they could instead watch "Michael Jordan's Playground"? That's like warming up with tennis balls instead of regulation basketballs. Seriously, ten seconds of that video and I'm ready to run through a wall.p>


TUESDAY
Two quick corrections from yesterday:

Modern day Troy? Pretty sure I meant "Achilles." Also, it's Babu, not Baboo.

Remember, I knew both of these all along and was just testing you.

ajc.com – Are you reading this, Milwaukee? This guy sounds like nothing but trouble. I mean, a Lion King backpack in high school? That's the first sign of a career head case. Hanging out with Joe Forte? You're just asking for one problem after another. Take Bogut and save yourselves. We'll take one for the team down here in Atlanta, but you owe us BIG time.

about.com – Anyone else picturing an overenthusiastic Simmons showing up to every show, applauding wildly and yelling out classic Corey lines, to the point that management has to take him aside and tell him he's no longer welcome at the theater? Also, while we're here, I'd like to quickly pay homage to Corey Feldman's most touching moment as an actor:
