I’m a band teacher in a rural district, so I see the same kids every year from 5th grade until 12th. My job involves a lot of relationship building with the students. I’ve had a practice of giving out joke awards at the end of the year for my high school students. In a best case scenario, they reference something…

I have this crazy dream that people will eventually realize that EVERYBODY is sick sooner or later.

As a casual basketball fan who doesn’t live within spitting distance of the Atlantic Ocean, I’ve gotta admit that I often forget that the Wizards are an actual team. John Wall seems cool, though.

Pogo. Maybe it’s been gone to long to make it onto a list like this, but Pogo was it’s own kind of great.

I just assigned my 8th grade reading class “Alas Babylon”. We’ll almost certainly watch Dr. Strangelove after we finish the book. Then I’ll toss this article their direction. Hopefully it will help them see the relevance of all that to actual life on earth today.

“Half the country agrees with him.”

Damn. I’m definitely gonna need some Gatorade, or something.

...and in 2003, filed for a trademark on “Compassionate Colonoscopy.”

I call dibs on the trademark for “Scope a Dope”.

This one starts on the trippy side, but when the full band hits it at about a minute, you’d have to be dead not to dance...

I’m glad, and encouraged, to read this. I think he’s exactly right. Athletes, musicians, actors, and others in the public eye have a right and even a responsibility to speak up for good. I respect this statement 100 percent.

Ronald Regan assassination attempt is a vague memory. Challenger was much more memorable, but the first world event that I felt like I “got” without an adult discussing it with me was Tiennamen Square. That hit during my Saturday morning cartoons, and I’ve never forgotten the roller coaster of those protests.

No “Cowboy” racists? I nominate the Intermountain west as a whole for an honorable mention on your list.

Right now, the money gets split up by youtube and the recording companies. The artists who record the songs, and the video creators who use the songs are not at the table for this discussion in any meaningful way.

If Steven A Smith thinks you did something wrong, you’re probably living your life right. On the rare occasion that I find myself agreeing with this human foghorn, I immediately second guess myself.

Steph Curry playing at 100 percent is unbelieveable, and unstoppable. Stephen Curry playing at 90 percent is too short and too small to be much good for anything. The same principle seems to apply to the Warriors as a whole. There’s an awfully thin line between dazzlingly amazing, and completely useless.

Counterpoint- baby sloths are adorable. I’m with you on the bats, though. And probably just skip the Insect building altogether, because, why?

I grew up in a family of 10, and my mom ground wheat and baked our bread at home. The main reason was cost- it was less than half the price of store bought white bread. The taste was excellent, though, although it was best when still hot out of the oven, and was noticeably stale just a day or two later.

Thank you for presenting this so clearly and factually. I’m a BYU alumnus, and a lifelong Mormon. While both are important to me, I realize more and more every day just how badly we can mess things up in the name of making things right. I did a decent job of keeping the honor code as a student, and I like the…

I choose to interpret this graphic to mean that this young man’s name is Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks.

With a name like that, this kid’s going places.

This is what every Hot Wheels car I ever owned looked like after a few hours of playtime.

My digestive system rarely has the decency to give me more than 5 minutes warning for poop time. I don’t blame the guy in the least, and would probably do the same in his situation. Fortunately, I live in rural Nebraska, so if I need to poop, I just pull to the side of the road and take care of business. We keep a…
