3 college picks tonight: Boise (+71/2), Tennessee (-3) and San Jose State (+25).

Started off terribly last night, 1-3. Tonight will be better!

Open Thread.

So who had the worse night? Mitt Romney? Clint Eastwood? Or me? My wallet is lighter (1 of 4 yesterday with my college picks (thank gawd the BiG is turrible.) Mitt Romney was stiff. But I got to go with Clint Eastwood. He became a national punchline. Pains me to write that. Love Clint Eastwood. But it is what it is.

You know what today is right? The first day of the college football season! Hallelujah!! You folks watch Romney. I'll be watching some SEC football!

Here are my picks today: Vanderbilt +220 over South Carolina. (Vandy to win!), Washington State +12 over BYU (what will be the big viewing event in Utah tonight?), UNLV +9 over Minnesota (the BiG is turrible as Charles Barkley might say), and finally, Rice (+17) over UCLA (UCLA has been consistently awful at the beginning of the season.)

You watching the Republican Convention? I'm not. Reading legal documents. I think I have the better deal.

An egg with two yolks. Twin yolks, no less. They are reported to occur in 1 of 1,000 eggs, so they aren't that rare, but today is the first time I've ever cracked an egg and seen them. It didn't taste any different than a regular egg but it was very strange to look at and contemplate how that happens. It used to be considered a good omen -- either of plenitude or that twins are in one's future. Since twins are definitely not in my future, I'll hope it signifies a plenitude of something good is on its way.
