The unofficial half way point

Baseball was half over last week when the teams reached 81 games but most folks treat the All Star game as the midway point.

The Red Sox go on vacation with a three and a half game lead in the ALEast.

And I go into the weeklong baseball black hole with plenty of Pawn Stars, Storage Wars and Salvage Dogs on the DVR.

It's what we do.

If you are done contemplating your navel, here are a few links for you turn your attention to:

• I'm pretty sure the "fashion industry" is just a bunch of drunk frat boys who dress the models in the most embarrassing shit they can find and make them walk around in front of people.



• A Crew Of Randy Turtles would be a great name for a 1980s big hair band.



• I've been on the Alcatraz tour and after seeing it, I knew why I never committed any crimes.



• If you are looking for a place to go where they want you to have a good time, I recommend the Dave & Busters in Braintree, MA.
