bronze_ribbonsI wonder if we'll be seeing more of this, or if it's just proximity to the Slams:
"Robert Fox, a producer of Best Play winner God of Carnage, called his ensemble cast - James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, Hope Davis and Jeff Daniels - 'the acting equivalent of Roger Federer' during his acceptance speech." - Sarah Thurmond, tennis.com (the ceremony took place the same day as the Roland Garros men's final)
"'There is something visceral about a ballpoint pen on newsprint that is not duplicated by pointing and clicking,' said Ken Jennings, who is editing a book of crossword puzzles but who is best known as the sort of Roger Federer of the quiz show Jeopardy." - Douglas Quenqua, in a NYT article on puzzles disappearing from printed periodicals, July 10 (*)
(* Completely unrelated to Fed: the real money quote from Quenqua's article is from a California librarian who describes why she's distraught over the imminent banishment of the Atlantic "Puzzler": "“You get the pleasure of solving each clue, so there's that 'aha' moment over and over - it's like having multiple orgasms." (**)
(** Okay, for certain readers, that may not be so unrelated to Fed, and while he's not really my type, I have to say that the vid of his 50 aces during the Wimbledon final? yowsa! *fans self*)
On a side note, doggies!
