...For The Ride Home: The perfect game that wasn't, a new way for writers to make money, and how does Christina Hendricks come in second in anything?

“Sure, I got you. New Wave feminist, college-educated, single and pretending to be happy about it, over-scheduled, under-sexed. You buy any magazine that says ‘Healthy Body image’ on the cover and every two years, you take up knitting…for a week.” In honor of the first Thursday without a new "30 Rock" in months, we give you this photo and the preceding quote from none other than Jack Donaghy when he met Liz Lemon for the very first time. Ahh, the memories. Anyways, logged in to begin this post and came across the fact that today's signs of summer post was our 100th. Wow. 100 is a lot to do of anything, let alone a silly little blog. The milestones keep coming. Thursday would usually mean the only night I sit to watch 30 minutes of television, but because the summer is here and new television programs are relegated to episodes of "America's Got Talent," Thursday has been reduced back to "the day before Friday." Regardless, check out the links before heading out to begin the first weekend of June early, and always remember to drink your milk like that guy from "Inglorious Basterds" and Daniel Plainview. Be good.

Wow. Remember those Christina Hendricks pictures from Esquire we linked to a few weeks back? Remember how they proclaimed her the best looking woman in America? That was supposed to be Scarlett Johansson. Don Draper sighs. (National Post)
