c+p this to google, then observate (yer missin out, hooks)

exp(-((x-4)^2+(y-4)^2)^2/1000) + exp(-((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2/1000) + 0.1exp(-((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2)+0.1exp(-((x -4)^2+(y-4)^2)^2)

Holy shit, I was just watching Lucha (wrestling) and announcer Vampiro just said while describing wrestler Paul London: "Paul London Calling, He fought the law and the law won, in Garageland, Dial 999 for an emergency."

What's wrong with Berman? He's a ham and says funny stuff.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

This could have had a shred of truth prior to 1989, but not since. And I grew up right up the street from ESPN and lived across the street from a former SportsCenter producer. The stories of what a lazy, unprepared, unrepentant asshole he is are legend around the building. As well as his penchant for pulling the "Do you know who I fucking am?!?!?" act to many a hapless area waitresses and local traffic cop.

I have it on good authority thay this is how Hoy behaves when he's drunk.

This is so metal it hurts: Finnair flight 666, at 13 o'clock on Friday the 13th with a 13 year old aircraft, has landed safely in HEL
The only way this could be more metal is if Bruce Dickinson was flying the plane.

He's right about investing in infrastructure.
