Shockingly for only the first time, here’s Natalie Portman.

The boys at Deadspin passed the US Thanksgiving long weekend by posting high school reunion horror stories. Of them all, this was my favourite. (Deadspin)

I don’t suppose anyone can help me find a way to talk EA Sports letting me have a copy of NCAA Basketball 10 to review. I’m not just saying that because my favourite play-by-play man Gus Johnson is calling the action. (Fanhouse)

This stuff never gets old. It’s the second edition of the best things overheard at the U of WO. (Lion’s Den University)

After the jump, some painful sports stories, something else, and the return of a classic WWE announce team.

When Barack Obama isn’t busy entertaining uninvited guests at the White House, he’s busy stinking it up on the gold course. (Wall Street Journal)

Speaking of stinking it up, that’s what the Raptors have been doing lately. It’s worse for Chris Bosh who will be lucky to be able to have kids after Friday’s game against the Celtics. (Deadspin)

If you have the whole rest of the day free, maybe you can read this lengthy, but excellent, read about alleged hermaphrodite women’s 800m running world champion Caster Semenya. (The New Yorker)

American Thanksgiving meant that things were slow on the interweb. On the ice, they were red hot especially in a pair of heavyweight tilts between Craig Rivet and Dan Carcillo. (Puck Daddy)

Google Wave was supposed to be the next big thing but we may have all spoken a bit too soon. (Tech Crunch)

Speaking of delusions of grandeur, PETA thinks they can talk/scare the University of Georgia into replacing its dear deceased pet bulldog with a robot dog. What are they smoking? (Fanhouse)

Lady Gaga features prominently(-ish) in the next episode of the radio show. However, she’s more than a singer that can be upstaged by Christopher Walken, she’s forcing a re-write of the music business rule book. (Forbes)

If you plan on going to Italy and having some horizontal fun with one of the locals, this English to Italian dictionary is all you need to survive. (Huffington Post)

This collection of turkey mishaps may be late for American  Thanksgiving but don’t say we haven’t prepped you for Christmas. (Bro Bible)

A two-part video to close out. Jesse “The Body/Governor” Ventura hosted Monday Night Raw last week and returned to his old post at the announce table. He even brought along an old friend to help him out.
