I hope that the head-line here a week from now does not read "AN EPIC FAILURE!"
The $65M production of "Spider-Man, the Musical" is set to officially open next week on Broadway. It had its preview performance over the weekend and, according to the Times, had the audience "hooting with laughter." The cause, alas, was mechanical difficulties which left Spidey and his girl friend dangling over the audience. The show was stopped 5 times to retrieve the hapless actors, at one time pulling the title actor down by his foot.
A review in the NY Post called it an epic failure with high-tech gadgetry gone awry, a dull score and a baffling script.
@realjohnboy,
5-11 is a nice height. So there.

Hey!! A Yank called Jonathan Spector scored two goals tonight against Manchester United in a 4-0 battering. He was Man of the Match as well. And a very affable and polite bloke if the interview was anything to go by.
What are the percentages for retaining possession from an on-side kick?

The % I see most commonly used is 26%. That is misleading, though, depending on whether the on-side kick is "expected" or "unexpected."
In the former situation when the kicking team is behind with the clock running down, the success rate is around 10%. In the latter case, the retention rate rises to 60%.
@spendius,
An "Unexpected" onside kick might occur when the kicking team is behind but still is in the game and has great confidence in its defense but less confidence in its offense. They believe that their defense, if the kick is not successful, can stop the other team. If the onside kick works, the offense enjoys good field position.
CoinToss had 7 heads and 9 tails come up, and believes this will be a fine week vs the rest of us.

If any of yall are interested and have time to kill, google in "cville weekly" The Cover story is about my architect and business partner, Bill Atwood. The writer captures his personality remarkably well.
I get mentioned towards the end, but I have a policy of not talking to the press.
@ossobuco,
It is a much longer article than I thought it was. Sorry.

I'll try to get back here on Saturday to finish this off.
@Miz Cowdoc,
Eagles for me as well. Off to Fort Worth in the morning......
@ossobuco,
So far from 1 to 13 there have been 100 wins at home and 77 on the road. Which we call "away". But with Willie Nelson and all that on the road stuff endemic in a restless, fast moving society it is only to be expected you would want to give it a rush.
And adultery here is called "playing away". Do you say "playing on the road"?
Quote:Well, I wake up in the morning
There's frogs inside my socks
Your mama, she's a-hidin'
Inside the icebox
Your daddy walks in wearin'
A Napoleon Bonarparte mask
Then you ask why I don't live here
Honey, do you have to ask ?
Well, I got to pet your monkey
I get a face full of claws
I ask who's in the fireplace
And you tell me Santa Claus
The milkman comes in
He's wearing a derby hat
And you ask why I don't live here
Honey, how come you have to ask me that ?
Well, I asked for something to eat
I'm hungry as a hog
So I get brown rice, seaweed
And a dirty hot dog
I've got a hole
Where my stomach disappeared
Then you ask why I don't live here
Honey, I gotta think you're really weird.
Your grandpa's cane
It turns into a sword
Your grandma prays to pictures
That are pasted on a board
Everything inside my pockets
Your uncle steals
And you ask me why I don't live here
Honey, I can't believe that you're for real.
Well, there's fist fight in the kitchen
They're enough to make me cry
The mailman comes in
Even he's gotta take a side
Even the butler
He's got something to prove
Then you ask me why I don't live here
Honey, how come you don't move ?
On the Road Again. By the best quarterback there is. Even his Hail Mary's are stylish. Should it be Hail Marys or Hail Maries. Hail Mary's is a bit lewd.
Who can listen to Jumping Jack Flash after that? Bloody suburban Wimbledom gardens.
I think the USA is best on telly.
