• I’m convinced that I had never read the following phrase prior to yesterday: “The fastest growing sport in the world, Dragon Boat Racing…” It’s big, it’s legitimate, and it’s coming to Riverfront Park on August 25. Every time I do see the phrase “fastest growing sport,” it’s always applied to a different target. Does that mean that “fastest growth sport labeling” is really the fastest growing sport?
  • Guess which mayoral candidate Lindsay Ferrier is talking about: “Why would I expect a man who was rude and unresponsive … to be any different as the city’s mayor? And why shouldn’t candidates who were kind before they were shilling for mayoral votes not reap the benefits down the road?”
  • I don’t know two of the three celebrities Hutchmo is talking about, but I think he’s right about our local Nashville blogosphere: “I know a lot of people in the so called Nashville blogging clique. I really like most of them, but folks, these people generally aren’t your party, seen in the Scene, Ricky Lee Jones Coolsville denizens. They are wonderful and many of them write as if they were born to the craft, but folks, there are a lot of social wallflowers in that patch. Many of us blog because we don’t really know how to say out loud what we think we know or what we know we feel. I was frankly beyond terrified the first few times I went to blogger shindigs, because I genuinely felt that THEY were all going to be Dorothy Parker or Robert Benchley (yeah, my references date me) or Cary Grants dripping bon mots as if they were to the manner borne. But guess what…most everyone I’ve met felt the same way. I think that’s one reason why we get along.”
