I just thought I'd ruin this wonderful autumn weekend for you all by remindin yer all that the Andromeda Galaxy will crash into our Milky Way in a few billion years.

The good news is that we'd already be vaporized long before that since the Sun will expand and envelope us, that is in case we haven't been done in by the atmospheric gases escaping even before the Sun's inevitable expansion.

For that we have to first survive the imminent technological singularity.

This would work on more than one level. I am not sure about its current status, but Maggie's was a notorious bar in Beijing, full of prostitutes and comparable to that bar in the original "Star Wars" film. The prostitutes are from Russia and Mongolia, and Chinese men are discouraged from entering.

Prostitution is a serious crime in China, but the Public Security Bureau allows it to operate in certain locations. There are many ways PSB can find this useful.

Is SoBad a law student? If ILC needed an attorney a few years from now, and SoBad had a vodka martini in his hand, a damaged tooth, and was trying to knock her door down, would she hire him?

I really like sushi.

I have a friend with a latent desire to move back to DC, put on an orange shirt, and walk around various Bethesda neighborhoods with a huge red bag filled with martini olive pits, broken teeth, and useless business cards from various fresh GU Law green trolls. Knocking on doors, wishing people happy Halloween and birthday, and picking half-full cigarette butts from around the porch on the way out. And then have vodka rocks.

I was so scared that the Swedish customs were going to turn up that I decided against buying a case of beer and went for 3 bottles of wine instead. And of course like every other time, customs weren't there...

Well... At least now I can get drunk in a sophisticated way!

Some people are starting to get the impression that it is okay to stuff your briefcase with letter openers, knives, lighters, explosives, and other illicit materials, as long as you don't look lucid enough to engage in a discussion about the contents.

He was just trying to get to know you better with the Delhi talks probably. As for the wash basin, I feel that those are entirely inappropriate for that purpose. Surely there was a toilet of some sort? It's all about the timing, isn't it...

1. Just Stop Caring About Trolls and Get On With Your Life
The absolute best way to avoid the leagues of morons on the internet—particularly the troll variety—is to just ignore them. They aren't attacking you, they're attacking boredom, and they're hardly worth the energy of even engaging, particularly because that's exactly what they want. If you get locked in, you can weasel your way out with dignity, but the more you realize they aren't worth the effort, the happier you'll be.

IF STOCKHOLM OPEN 2012
SWEDE SURPRISES DEFENDING CHAMP MONFILS IN STOCKHOLM
Stockholm, Sweden
by ATP Staff | 16.10.2012

Swedish wild card Patrik Rosenholm caused a huge upset on his tour-level debut, knocking out defending champion Gael Monfils 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 on Tuesday in the first round of the If Stockholm Open. The Stockholm native lost just three points on serve in the decisive set while securing the only break of serve.

The 24-year-old Rosenholm, currently No. 436 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings, had played primarily on the Futures circuit this season and was making his first appearance since reaching the quarter-finals at the Tampere Challenger in July.

As a generalization, Hollywood actors and actresses tend to be short with disproportionately large heads.

Tom Cruise and Kidman come to mind.

Oh wait ...
