Here it is, folks: the penultimate paragraph in the most hotly-anticipated book of all time. I stole it from Gawker, and have secreted it over the jump so as to preserve the innocence of any innocents who happen to stumble across the demented galaxy which is the ol’ raincoaster blog.

There are no words for this…at least, none in English. Indeed, Bjork is obviously not the only kooky musical Icelander. This may not make Paul Oscar a global superstar, but whatever. It doesn’t matter. He’s still got his poetry.
blame Perez for passing it along.

Had a great time last night. As far as I can tell.
Phoebie‘s right: the good stuff doesn’t hurt as much the next day.
But still…
Posting will be light today. Enjoy the raincoaster randomizer in the top right-hand corner of the blog if you get bored.
Ah, baseball.
Sport of the gods. Oh, don’t let those Buddhists fool you: the gods are highly competitive. The Norse vs the Blackfoot, the Aztec vs the Animist. And now that nobody actually worships them in any meaningful way, they have sublimated their divine battles into the true sport of the gods (sport of kings eat your heart out): baseball.
And guess what? As always happens when the divine attempts to work itself out in thes sphere of the mundane, things got weird.
The biggest hooker sting since the last Republican convention took place in non-accidental conjunction with the All-Star game.
Law enforcement officials said Monday that 131 people were arrested in a prostitution and child exploitation sting between July 6 and July 12 in conjunction with the Major League Baseball All-Star game in San Francisco.
Oakland police spokesman Roland Holmgren said the sting was conducted because “a significant number” of Oakland-based prostitutes ply their trade at high profile events such as baseball all-star games, pro football’s Super Bowl and the Hot August Nights festivities in Reno every summer.
Yep, the game of champions. George Will has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do!
