Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Sunday Links: Nothing happening on Saturday equals another "Mostly open thread" edition

Thanks again to the army of responders who were willing to finish up the links yesterday after my innanets crashed. Also, my apologies for leaving the good readers hanging on the linkage.

Top notch journalism from here on out!

Fuck you, Saturday, for not having a damn thing happen.

Blues News:

NHL News:

Other Stuff:

Video:

I wonder if this is how people feel when they realize they have to play against Backes. Thanks again for the videos, Spectr.

Open thread topic: What's your favorite place for pizza other than the national pizza chains? Tell us about your favorite hole in the wall place to grab a slice. Schrutebucks if anybody is able to peg one of my favorite spots for St. Louis style pizza out by 70 in St. Charles.

 

And I'll be around later on Sunday in case something happens that's linkworthy.

There's one here in Edwardsville.

I think it’s populated primarily by little league baseball teams.

I, having grown up in Franklin County...

You will not find a better pizza in St Louis than Joanies in Soulard. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere and Very Blues fan friendly. I have become a regular there in the past year.

Meh....

I tried Joannies a few times but it didnt do anything for me…..

Sobotka

Did the Blues sign Sobotka? His first name wasn’t Iggy was it? Is he a cross between Bruce Shoebottom and Stan Jonathan? Help me out.

yikes

sorry to hear that.. i think burglars should rot in a separate jail, where all of their belongings are unprotected at all times, and all of the inmates constantly steal from each other. or fight to the death. either way.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

I had a kid at the alternative school who was a total klepto..

… but don’t you touch his stuff. He went off one day about how someone went into his (unlocked) house while he was at the pool & stole his XBox… and all the KoolAid in the house. Kid was more pissed off about the KoolAid.

Oh, man.

All of which are replaceable except for that Teej jersey – I’d have to hunt those bastards down and ship them off to Detroit for that. I hope that they don’t get too much personal info off of your two computers – that’ll make for an even worse nightmare.

Insurance is covering, right?

Yes, Like you said everything is covered by my renters insurance.

Im big on Fortels Pizza Den

but these days they seem to be slipping.

A Good Pi in midtown is delicious, its authentic italian of course, they cook the pizza in 90 seconds. yes that is right 90 seconds.

If your looking for cheap pizza I always go with Elicia’s

Do yourself a favor and try A Good Pi

I beg to differ on the iPhone/Boobs comparison.

I don’t think that an iPhone can give you back problems by the time that you’re 40.

Here I sit, same as ever.

So I work at an NPR station on Sunday. Just hanging out checking the internet waiting for a break to say stuff. Usually the program is pretty terrible and NPRish. Today though had some decent topics for 2 shows. One was human trafficing. Did you know Missouri is one of the top states in the nation for prosecuting human trafficing? Was a cool segment. Now im listening to some dude interview a director about the movie salt which is based on Russian sleeper agents. Its an interesting interview but the guy has crap in his throat and he NEEDS TO COUGH, YOUR ON THE RADIO THE ONLY THING YOUVE GOT IS YOUR VOICE DONT MAKE IT SUCK. My god ive had asthma my whole life and can’t stand talking when my voice gets all hrhhghhr with phlegm in throat I don’t see how people can talk for 5 minutes like that. Why the hell didnt the producer clean that up or tell him hey your voice sucks get a drink of water, i will never know. Anyway back to spies. So when I went to LSU I had a super cool geography professor who had a kid in his class once who was from Russia. The kid had SUPER SUPER good english apparently, perfect annunciation his grammar was text book. My teacher was like “damn your english is perfect” and the kid said “It damn well better be the goverment spent enough time on it”. Apparently he was trained as a young child to be Americanized so he could be a spy someday. Badass.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

I'm not a huge pizza person

and I like the think crust. My 100% Italian side of the family would disown me if I spoke this aloud.

Anyway, I’m partial to Cicero’s in UCity even though it’s a commute for me. Hubby doesn’t like it as much but he sure likes the 53 beers on draft and 150 others in bottles.
Since we only make it there once or twice a yr we order tons and bring home lots of leftovers.
I love thick crust with salsicca sausage, meatballs, mushrooms, blk olives and artichoke hearts
An order of pasta con pollo and the house salad.
We bring home at least half the pizza and pasta.

Damn now I’m hungry for Ciceros

I'm partial to a little pizza joint here in my neck of the woods.

Cavataio’s here in Staunton. Pizza made by off-the-boat Sicilians. Excellent stuff.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

Completely freaking off-topic,

But I swear I saw on here the other day a fanpost or something where one of you dudes had a Halak #41 shirt. But my search skillz are apparently lacking, and I can’t find it.

O my brother, where did you acquire said item? I cannot find one on the interwebs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

Aha...

I thought I had seen a picture of him taking it out of a box or something, so I assumed he ordered it from somewhere and had it shipped. But I’m probably making that up.

I will be making a detour to the DrinkScotch AQAP, and keeping my fingers crossed they actually have any left…

No "Pi" fans in here?

Granted, I’m probably partial because it’s the only place in the Lou where one can get a gluten-free pizza (as far as I know, anyway), but even so, their shit is damn tasty.

Faraci's

First had it 30-something years ago in the original hole-in-the-wall behind the Majik Market in Ferguson, before they moved to the new digs across Florissant Rd. Now patronize them in their new-er Ellisville location.

St. Louis style pizza, family joint. How family? They close for 2 weeks every July so the family can go on vacation.
