Aside from that, given the way he played (basically held together with duct tape while not letting on until afterward) in the ’09 playoffs, you know he wouldn’t come down slacking.

And most importantly, as Jason Chaimovitch pointed out, we weren’t invited to a very important wedding this weekend, American royalty: Lisa Simpson’s. Anyone hear how it turned out*?
Wait, aren’t you still on vacation? Well, back home (tell ya more later), but no, I’m not supposed to be wor… Hey, who posted this? The Incommunicado continues.
