Then to the tune of the Blue Danube, some bizarrely diverse items would shoot weightlessly through the ether - sterling silver Jaguar cars, Sherlock Holmes first editions, Xerox networked printers, a pair of Madonna concert tickets, an ostrich-egg incubator - moving at a rate of 5 million purchases per day. The climactic scene, perhaps, would feature astronaut Dave and arrogant computer HAL bidding furiously against each other for a highly collectible Beanie Baby...
Duluth Head Coach Shannon Miller was the boss behind the Canadian bench at the Olympics in 1998 when her team won a silver medal. Stacy Wilson, now an assistant coach at Duluth, was the captain of Team Canada.

...college and starting on his own at the worst possible time. He is wearing a navy-blue porkpie hat pulled down to his eyebrows, a plaid shirt by a niche fashion house called Hysteric Glamour, baggy pants, a chain of oversize dice hanging from his waist and silver rings on his fingers. Being a deejay would be kind of cool, he says, but he likes graphic design too. And then he met this salesman who tried to import beetles from Indonesia, and that sounded promising?except all the beetles died while waiting to clear customs. "Maybe I could do that...
