TOSS THE BURNER: Aug. 21, 2008

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won the gold medal yesterday during a rain storm. (I don't know what I did to deserve that). I could see this match living in my DVR for quite awhile.

Anyone else lose count of how many time Karch Kiraly said wet balls?

If you're a Pandora aficionado, create a Lil' Wayne playlist - you won't be disappointed. The story about him in Blender more or less predicts his imminent spontaneous combustion.
