I guess when I hear "the day the music died" I think Buddy Holly - talented guy - big loss, Richie Valens* - talented guy - big loss, The Big Bopper - crickets**. Even judging it against songs of its time, Chantilly Lace is a pretty stupid song and I am not sure we would have ever heard of TBB again. Then I imagine what if he lived and ended up bigger than Elvis? He could have branched out into movies, there could have been conventions, maybe even politics. In a debate he could have answered every question with "whoa baby that's what I like!"

*I resisted putting Lou Diamond Phillips here

"Big Bopper" Merzlikins has a nice ring to it.

Police had no right to seize hidden bedside camera from Airbnb condo, judge says

Judge is setting a pretty dangerous precedent here.
I'm no bald lawyer, but I thought police could enter a residence or search a car or something if there was reasonable evidence of a crime?
Wouldn't a complaint to the police saying "this apartment has a voyeur cam, and there it is" be fairly reasonable evidence?

at least now everyone knows that Michael Chow of Toronto is a fucking scumbag. Too bad it's such a common name (presumably).

Update: Still sitting on 39.

Friday night's game turned into the kind of game that would make Mount Torts erupt. Just a complete shit show. He was left out to dry for 61 (yes SIXTY ONE) shots against. Lost 5-0. He faced 7 clean breakaways. That bad. We figured that was the last of his regular season games but the other goalie came down with a fever, so he went again yesterday. Other team had an injury to their goalie and got a special rules exemption to use a sub. Apparently the one they grabbed is a AAA goalie going on to play D1 next year.

My boy stopped 20 of 20. Other kid stopped 39 of 39. 0 - 0 tie.

He came off the ice and said "I feel like I am cursed."

Publicly hang, draw and quarter the slurp guy and you’ll regain 10% of market share you’ve lost.
