Save yourself a headache: don't go see The Thin Red Line.

In the various year-end wrap-ups, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa have posed for a number of fun photos together. I've only found one online:
- 1998 Sportsmen of the Year (in togas) [CNN/SI]
"No, we didn't discuss. We didn't even sit down. It was automatic. It was unanimous. It was the easiest selection in our history. It couldn't be one Sportsman of the Year. It had to be two."
Comics/Entertainment:
- "What am I paying TAXES for?" [Rose is Rose, 12/23/1998]
- Collectible-Plate Industry Calls For Tragic Death of Streisand [The Onion]
"For the 1998 Christmas season to be anywhere near as successful as last year's, we need a heartbreaking, untimely end to a wonderful life that we can commemorate with a series of limited-edition collector's plates," said Franklin Mint president Jim Campion...
Had a wonderful time vacationing in California, far from the horrid weather in the Midwest. Now I'm back, though, and I have to say: brrrrrrrr. My Chicago friends are getting the worst of it, though. Anyway: Monterey Bay Aquarium [official site] was fun, particularly the otters, rays and birds. While in Monterey, we ate at Tillie Gort's [Digital Lantern review], a predominantly vegetarian restaurant. I liked it quite well, even though I'm decidedly not a vegetarian. Give them a try if you're ever in the area. Also played my first few games ever of Worms 2 [official site]. Good old wholesome blow-up-your-neighbor fun. Seth, after I get some practice, I want a rematch. :)
Outta time. More later this week.
