Better With Boxes: Joseph Cornell or B.F. Skinner?

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

And yes, I did say "B.F."

Which achievement to thought/their respective field/culture: Psychologist B.F. Skinner's, "Skinner Boxes" or Joseph Cornell's, "Cornell Boxes"?

My money is on B.F..

And much like Snoop Dogg, I got my mind on my money, if you know what I mean.








I'm T.R. Slyder, and that's how you Tangueray.

Being a Cubs Fan is Like Being in Brokeback Mountain

It's true. Being a Cubs fan is like being in Brokeback Mountain: I wish I could quit them, and all they do is B.F. me.


Why Fukudome was in the lineup is something I will never understand. And how he is fooled by breaking balls 100% of the time is even less excusable. Kosuke, how about you sit on a breaking ball and not on a fastball sometime? Seriously. If I saw a three year old girl look as bad swinging and missing as you do on off-speed pitches, I'd tell her to quit baseball immediately.

Lee, Ramirez and Soriano- We should call you The Halloween Hookers, because you guys do a LOT of laying down in October- and make a LOT of money doing it too. Good god. Eli Manning's goobery hangdog face is more confidence-inspiring than the looks on your loser faces in the playoffs. I would be legitimately excited if I saw all three of those chokers benched on Saturday. I have had enough of seeing them look like beaten men in the playoffs.

You guys are gonna give Ron Santo an H.A.

Happy Black Monday Nouveau

If you're invested in the stock market, chances are that you were wealthier when you woke up this morning than you will be by the time you leave work, as it looks like the markets are gonna get totally BF'd today. So I hope you're prepared to lose some of your riches today and I also hope that you don't wind up looking like that chick pictured above (or Jack Black, for that matter).

This could get ugly, but I'm kinda eager to watch it all unfold, kinda like watching hurricane coverage on cable news, only less Geraldo Rivera-tastic (Riverrafiffic?).

Good luck and I hope your assets are covered! Hello-ooo!
