Thursday Ramblings

I hope the rumor about the Stoneforge Tavern coming to Dartmouth becomes reality. … Good news for comic book movie fans: The Green Lantern is set to hit theaters in 2011, staring Ryan Reynolds in the lead spot. Martin Campbell, who directed James Bond movies Goldeneye and Casino Royale, has signed on to direct the film. … Managers hate seeing their star pitchers throwing in an All-Star Game because of the risk of injury. Terry Francona made sure Josh Beckett didn’t touch a baseball Tuesday night by allowing him to throw nine innings two days before against the Royals. … Count me in as someone pumped to hear another sports radio station is coming into the Boston market. WEEI is OK, but too many times all I hear is yelling and making fun of callers who have been on hold for 45 minutes. Good luck to 98.5 The Sports Hub, which is expecting to have Gary Tanguay in the morning and Barry.jpg image by TankerGuy4Michael Felgerin the afternoon. With Boston Globe writers barred from WEEI, it would be a nice to hear Bob Ryan, Mike Reiss and co. on The Sports Hub. … Dave Chappelle caused quite a stir with his attempt at a impromptu, free stand-up session in the middle of Portland, Oregon at 1 a.m. Wednesday. Apparently, a rumor started at 5 p.m. spread so fast through Facebook and Twitter than thousands showed up to find Chappelle on a small stage with one tiny little amp. No one was able to hear more than five words out of his mouth in the two hours he was there … Happy 41st birthday to Larry Sanger, co-founder of the extremely decent Wikipedia. Sanger, who holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Ohio State University, left Wikipedia to start Citizendium, which is basically Wikipedia for smart people. … Also celebrating his 41st birthday today is Barry Sanders. The Detroit Lions selected Sanders with the third pick in the 1989 NFL Draft (some team officials wanted to draft Deion Sanders with that pick, but went with Barry instead) and came very close to passing Walter Payton as the all-time rushing leader before taking an early retirement after then 1998 season. His best year was 1997 when, after gaining only 53 yards in the first two games, the 10-time Pro Bowler ran for 2,053 yards and 11 touchdowns. … Happy 29th birthday to a pair of porn stars, Jesse Jane and Justine Joli. Joli is into science fiction and nude sports, while Jane once said in 2007 that she wanted to get her boob job redone to make them look better on HD TVs. Here’s Justine and Jesse in action. … Thanks to everyone who submitted their real funny tales for The Adventures of Sebastian project. I assumed community readers would have some awesome tales to tell, and some of them are outrageous. Stay tuned for more.
