James,

In the current Villains United mini-series, The Six have been recruited by Mockingbird to fight The Society. Some folks say Mockingbird is Luthor, some think it's Oracle.

James Eason, who is Mockingbird?

Love,
Satan

I need a drink
Dear Mr. Eason,

Is it actually true that the roach can survive armageddon-type conditions, outliving the human race, or is this a myth?

Your boy,

I have two that I like now.
  • From "The Hidden Game of Football":
    Calculate each team's Average Margin of Victory (AMV) -- the difference between points scored and points allowed divided by total games played. Then, you add each team's opponent's AMV together and divide by games played. Now that you have a NEW AMV you do the formula again using the modified numbers, repeat until the numbers start to even out. The numbers you end up with should give you some insight re: point spread vs. the upcoming opponent.
  • From an article in the NY Times and Sporting News:
    the Pythagorean Theorum -- points scored squared divided by points scored squared plus points allowed squared. Take that number and multiply it by games played to gauge the team's strength -- i.e. is it playing up to its potential. You could, I suppose, multiply it by 16 to try to predict how the team will finish the season. The Sporting News says it's slightly more accurate to use a factor of 2.37.

I'm kinda OC (obsessive compulsive -- not Orange County) when it comes to things like this. I will likely beat it into the ground and carry it on well past everyone else's interest and amusement level.

They aren't funny in and of themselves. The idea that they are acheivable goals is hysterical.

Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall. It drops on the 27th.

No, and yes.

To birds.

You are all bits. You are all figments of Terry Jinn's imagination.

First of all, you are living (if you can call it that) in the LESSER part of the NYC metro area. And, no. But I have plenty of VHS tape of the great teams from the '80s to keep me warm.

Not as gross and disgusting but here are a couple of candidates:
  • WQHT Hot 97 held 24 "Smackfest" contests from April 2004 to January 2005. Young women took turns "violently slapping" each other for concert tickets and as much as $5,000 in cash.
  • WKLQ Grand Rapids, Mich., morning team 'Justice And Jim' are in hot water with local police and animal lovers after they announced on their show that they were going to drown a dog on the air the next day.

Congrats! (for whatever it's worth...)

Stewart Copeland.

Stan Lee.

Let's not find out, ok?

So very not on fire
Dear James,

Could you please place the following words in order of preference?

Easonesque
Easonite
Easonality

Much appreciated,
M.

PS - Thanks about that bet. Saved me a bundle!

I make words...
Dear James,

In Vladimir Nabokov's "Pale Fire," is the narrator actually John Shade? Or is it rather a 'hidden narrator' that has created both Kinbote and Shade yet still exists inside the world of the novel in the new critical sense? Also, what the hell is a waxwing?

Thanks,

James,

Do you think people are more selfish and lazy than they used to be? And why is having people do something for you a sign of status?

Thanks for your answers so far. Genius.

wrap it in tin foil, place it on a car engine, drive for a couple of hours (?), stop at a scenic overlook, unwrap it, eat it.

That's the correct order.

"'Cuz I sez so!"

It's Terry Jinn.

Temperature doesn't cause colds, viruses do.

The title is a combination of the film Straw Dogs and a corruption of Au revoir, les enfants, a film by Louis Malle.

Technology has made people more sedentary, therefore more lazy. Status is about power and/or money (often these are the same thing). If you can afford to pay someone to do something for you vs. having to do it yourself you have status over the person you are paying.

yep.

Dearest James "Eason" Eason,

I think that the bestest ice cream ever is at Cones on Bleecker. But I've heard retarded people like Adam Scally say that better exists. Is Adam retarded? And also, is he right? Or am I?

Love,
Jed
 
Old wise Sage ....

These two statements ...

"There are times when it is not the thrill of winning. It's the
fear of losing. "

And

"There's a lot of law at the end of a nightstick."

are attributed to what two indivduals?
 
James-

Heading into week 2 of the NFL season, the 49ers will try to improve to 2-0 on the road in Philly against their old pal Terrell Owens. If San Francisco defeats the Eagles it will drop the defending NFC champions to 0-2. How do you think that would impact the "sensitive" psyche of T.O. and how would such a start sit with the warm-hearted citizens of Eagle Nation?

Regards,
Fred Quillan
