From the Onion’s AV Club,<\/a> comes the story of ThinkGeek’s April Fool’s Day joke gone horribly, horribly right.<\/p>\n

You can follow the story with the link, but long story short, a new Tauntaun sleeping bag has been accidentally invented. <\/p>\n

 I just shared this news with Demond.  What follows is an actual transcript of the chat:<\/p>\n

DZ<\/b> (4:19:25 PM):<\/span> YOU MUST SEE THIS!!!<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b> (4:19:44 PM):<\/span> oh<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b> (4:19:45 PM):<\/span> my<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b> (4:19:49 PM):<\/span> oh<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b> (4:19:50 PM):<\/span> my<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b> (4:19:51 PM):<\/span> oh<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond <\/b>(4:19:52 PM):<\/span> my<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b> (4:20:11 PM):<\/span> is that real?<\/font><\/div>\n
DZ<\/b> (4:20:16 PM):<\/span> read the article<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond <\/b>(4:20:56 PM):<\/span> YES<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b>(4:21:00 PM):<\/span> I WILL <\/font><\/div>\n

Demond<\/b> (4:21:07 PM):<\/span> IN IT<\/font><\/div>\n
Demond<\/b> (4:21:27 PM):<\/span> it even has intestine patterning on the inside!<\/font><\/p>\n

Coming tomorrow:  John Oesher<\/a> answers 18 Questions.  <\/p>\n

Mike Tanier has a little quiz and talks about TEs up the seam<\/a><\/p>\n

The NY Times looks at the Colts and the draft<\/a><\/p>\n

The Reds are a darkhorse? <\/a> Mark my words, this team will be horrible.  They are still a year away.<\/a>  They have no reliable SS, 3B, or CF.&nbs
\np; Oh, and they still have another massive hole in a corner outfield spot.  They won’t score runs.  Ever.  If Harang, Volquez, and Cueto all pitch at a near Cy Young level (which I suppose each has in them), then maybe.  It’s not something I would bet on though.  How bad is their offense?  I actually WANT them to sign Sheffield.  That’s how bad. <\/p>\n

Me too, Mr. President<\/a>.  So say we all.<\/p>\n

The Bears get Cutler and a third for 2 firsts and Orton.<\/a>  I guess our schedule just got easy next year.  Josh McDaniels will be unemployed in three seasons (at the most).<\/div>\n
