One last batch of the around-the-league notes before the NBA Finals begin?
As it should be!
But first please allow me to plug this Finals preview podcast I recorded Wednesday with the NBA's original Sunday Notes Specialist: Legendary Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan.
On the latest edition of #thisleague UNCUT, Bob joined me to break down Celtics vs. Mavericks as only he can and pay tribute, as well, to the one and only Bill Walton:
The only place dogs sweat from is the bottom of their feet and their nose, so the pads of the paws are a hotspot for accumulated irritants
Pesticides, herbicides, ragweed, grass allergens, pollen, mold spores and dust mites are just some examples of what can easily accumulate on your dog’s paws
Up to 50% of foot licking and chewing can be reduced by mechanically removing allergens or irritants on the paws
Note to readers: if you don’t want to hear about pubic hair — specifically, the era when pubic hairstyles looked like Fred Durst’s goatee — you may want to skip this one!
The ‘00s were not an easy decade for our genitals. I mean, I guess what decade was? But the ‘00s seemed especially rough on the ol’ downstairs. In the ‘90s, who even knew what anyone was doing with their pubic hair?
Hello friends! I hope you’re doing well and eating well. I’ve been eating a ton of legumes lately, i.e. lentils, chickpeas, cannellini beans and my favourite of the legumes, butter beans. I’ve gotten a few questions about where I find them and the answer is that I’m lucky enough to shop at a grocery store sells them canned. Note that they also go by Lima Beans (actually, that’s their real name), so try looking for those in the bean aisle.
Who do you imagine was the first recording artist to sell a million records in a year? I’ll give you a hint. The year was 1956. Did you guess Elvis? Nope. Wasn’t him. It was Harry Belafonte with his album Calypso. But more important to him than his music was using his fame and fortune for the fight for civil rights.
