**Mavericks To Incorporate Machetes Into Hack-A-Shaq Defense

I've been mulling over some ideas for a spring camping trip, and I'm still in favor of getting a cabin or a suite at Skyline Drive in VA for a long weekend. Here's a site with some info:

and here's another with some rate info:

I think a suite would be best -- it has the most amenities and sleeps up to six. I can't seem to figure out availability without calling, though, so it's just an idea at the moment. Let me know what you think.

I was too drunk to post last night (although it may have been funnier), so I just wanted to wish everyone a great December 21st, the day when God gave us our first look at actor Jared Leto. While he got his start on My So-Called Life, Jared has gone on to star in such hits as Panic Room, Urban Legend, Fight Club, and Lord of War.

Here are some of Jared's personal quotes, and two I made up. Can you tell which are which?

"I sometimes bathe in chicken fat. It makes me horny."

"I don't think Requiem for a Dream (2000) is for children, but I think if you went home and looked at the video games that your kids are playing, you'd be much more shocked."

About My So-Called Life cast mate Claire Danes: "We actually didn't hang out much off-set; at the time, she had bad breath."

"I used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house."

Happy Jared Leto's Birthday!!!
