I know I've said in the past that Bill Murray tops my list of celebrities I want to meet, but quickly climbing that list is Tom Hanks.  A fan ran into him at a pizza place and Hanks obliged him with a series of hilarious photos.  Don't you think it'd be a blast to just hang out and shoot the sh*t with Hanks?  I bet he's got some great stories.  (Uproxx)

The Smashing Pumpkins just announced they'll be touring this fall.  Did I accidentally wake up in 1997?  Oh, wait, it's not the whole original lineup, just Billy Corgan.  Pass.  (AV Club)

Dry Goods Athletic Spray: Keep Your Goods Dry

Before reading this review, there's something you should know: despite running consistently for many years, I've never used any sort of athletic powder before now. I have no idea how this stuff is actually supposed to work. I mean, I know that it's supposed to prevent chafing and absorb moisture and all that jazz, but I have no idea how it stacks up against other products (my only experience with Gold Bond was finding it as a child in my parents' bathroom cabinet and mistaking it for baby powder). Just wanted to get that out of the way in case any of you guys are actually, you know, knowledgeable athletes (I'm more of the bumbling, haphazard sort).

I thought it was terrible that my parents let me watch Poltergeist, which I'm sure added to my life-long fear of clowns and Native American burial grounds attacking me. At least they didn't read these terrifying stories to me. (Flavorwire)

I recently floated the idea to my husband of buying all of the recent Marvel movies. You know, the good ones. He wasn't having it, but he will. OH, HE WILL. (Nerd Bastards)

Many people say that The Wire is the best television show ever. I think it was really good. The cast was outstanding and they are interviewed here. (Maxim)

I don't know how else to prep you for this article. Basically it says that running is the only sport. (Slate)
