Here, have some links:

When I was 10 in 1991, I read a story in Sports Illustrated called "Sports in the Year 2001". It's always fun to go back and read past predictions of the future. (For example, the story was written about 3-4 years before the internet became "mainstream", and the author didn't make any predictions that were PC-centered, even though he nailed "online" sports books anyway.) I've been looking to find this article again for over 10 years, and today I finally succeeded. It's got some OCR errors, but was just as fun to read as I expected it would be.

Insert dried spaghetti into hot dogs. Boil.

For anyone who grew up in Philadelphia and is between the ages of about 22 and 35, do you remember the Omniverse Philadelphia Anthem?

Now that approximately 8.6% of the baseball season is over, All Star balloting has started! Vote for your favorite players who have had a hot two weeks!

Speaking of hot: My favorite weather blog is now forecasting 4 straight days above 85 degrees (29.5 Canadian) starting Saturday, including a chance at 90° (32 British) and several days within 5° (2.8 Israeli) of record highs. Yay!!!

Late-breaking link: A Gaythering Storm, a sequel-ish of the absolutely amazing Prop 8 — The Musical that I hope you all already saw.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I think I must be one of the .000025% of the population that absolutely hates hot dogs. I think the last time I ate one was when I was 8 years old.

Would they be improved by, say, spaghetti?

90 degrees? yuck.

[desh]

Yeah, that's a more typical sentiment. I acknowledge I'm a weirdo in this department. Like many people, I like 80 or 82 and low humidity, but as a second choice I prefer warmer, and even more humid, than cooler. And 90 is certainly better than the 70 that most people call a nice day this time of year.

Heresy!

Icicle-skewers of cheese should be included as well.

[desh]

I don't know. I'm not sure there's any context in which icicle-skewers of cheese are a good thing. I think you're better off just pouring some melted cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan on top (if you're into that sort of thing).

[smarriveurr.livejournal.com]

But then you would have cheese on your hotdogs, not in your hotdogs! This is vastly inferior.

man, that Omniverse video took me back. It looks a lot different on a flat screen, but I still remember that "whosay whosay whosay aino room" song. Seriously. A part of my childhood. Thanks.

I really want to find out what the song's called, but I don't know how (short of calling the Franklin Institute, perhaps). I can't even pick out a single lyric to google.
