Don’t forget, he was also in Curb Your Enthusiasm - starred as Cheryl’s nephew, the magician.

I completely agree. It’s more of a sports-themed TV drama than a contest at this time. Just like Game of Thrones, the network makes sure the fans get the action they want. I’m more surprised that this woman is just figuring this out now.

If you’re not in/on the vehicle, you have a much better chance. That’s why that linebacker for the Bears got out of his vehicle and went home when he crashed on the highway a few years ago. He was most definitely drunk, but he fled the scene and wasn’t charged with a DUI because he wasn’t there when the cops arrived.…

You don’t have grand mal seizures from drinking - you have them when you stop drinking. It’s alcohol withdrawal. When you become addicted to alcohol (read: an alcoholic), you absolutely need to have alcohol in your system every day or your body will throw fits. At first it’s lots of sweating (night sweats, morning…

I graduated high school in the early 90's so I know what you mean. This sort of thing has a creepy “ritualistic” feel about it, like Lord of the Flies or some shit.

Just horrible. Everyone in this situation should be sent to an institution. The girl is either brainwashed, mentally handicapped, or both. The boys are heartless insane asshole rapists. Hope they all get the help they desperately need, and I hope that the spotlight on this story prevents this from happening elsewhere.…

I live in Latin America. Racial stereotypes are used in advertising all the time down here. For example: if you buy a bag of chips or nuts that are flavored with soy sauce, wasabi, etc, you’re bound to see a Chinaman on the logo with a triangle hat and bucked teeth. Weird.

I live in Guatemala. Volcanoes, dramatic landscapes, beautiful lakes, rivers, and oceans. And people just throw shit EVERYWHERE. If you are driving behind a bus, even on a picturesque country road, people are heaving trash out the windows. Plastic, mostly. At least events like this U of Oregon fiasco get shamed in The…

International airports could handle large crowds IF those crowds were made up of frequent travelers like you and me. However, in today’s world you’ve got old people in walkers, wheelchairs, and families with 2 kids and their strollers. They finally get to the front of the line and they’ve got bottles of water, belts…

You don’t think everything needs to be shared on facebook. But THEY do. And there are more of them than there are of you. Nothing is worth doing unless you can take a selfie doing it. That is the way of the world right now, and it’s not going to change in the future, whether we like it or not.

Exactly. But as you know, these games are meant to showcase regions and countries, etc. It’s a huge tourism campaign, essentially. Nobody cares about the men’s pommel horse results, but we’ll watch for the bonus footage of the Amazon River.

Sending 1 million people into a virus outbreak and then flying them back to countries all over the world is just what we need to solve earth’s massive overpopulation problem.

Agreed. But Jon Snow did come back to life last week. And last week we also had Tyrion messing with dragons, so that’s not awful. But this last episode (#3) was the worst. Nothing happened.

Very sad to hear this news, I was hoping he’d make it after reading this story yesterday. His family and friends must be devastated, my heart goes out to them.

Hasn’t Dale’s widow done this kind of thing before? If I recall, she’s been rather thorny about everything Dale Earnhardt-related since the moment his car hit that wall. My question is: what has Teresa ever accomplished in life besides become the wife of a good NASCAR driver? And why, in this day in age, does the law…

Well said! Congrats on your diagnosis and for sharing your valuable perspective. As a recovering addict/alcoholic with 4 years of sobriety (which is a totally different thing, I know) I have heard a lot of similar “rah rah” stuff. I agree that this kind of talk simplifies what is often a very complex condition. Good…

Really? Never heard he came from a well-to-do background. Huh.

Haven’t been watching for years, period. I love hoops but the watchability factor has been going downhill since I’ve grown up. Or maybe because I’m grown up. The NBA was awesome when I was 13-18 years old, because it’s designed for that demographic. I’m way outside that now, so all I can do is stand on the outside and…

So the arenas are just pumping in music during the entire game now? Next thing you know they’ll be throwing up “boiiyooooiyooiinnngg” sound effects every time the away team takes a jumper. Good grief!

European leagues have way more than 20 teams - the key is relegation. If the MLS capped their “Top League” at 25 or so, and then interconnected with the NASL to form the same type of Pyramid League that England has, we might just have something. I’m sure you know that. Just in case you don’t, here’s a cool article…
